AMAZON SELLING 101

Hey there. If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking to start selling on Amazon, or you just started and you're feeling a little overwhelmed. Take a breath. We’ve been exactly where you are.

Selling on Amazon is one of the best ways to build a real income online, but there is a lot of noise out there. Let’s cut through it. The basic formula is simple: Find products selling for less somewhere else, list them on Amazon, and pocket the difference. But getting from "creating an account" to "making a profit" takes actual work.

Tips for Success: What Most Sellers Wish They Knew Earlier

   Don't race to the bottom: If someone undercuts your price by a penny, don't immediately drop yours. The "Buy Box" rotates. Be patient.

   "Ungating" takes time: Amazon restricts certain brands and categories to new sellers. Don't buy a ton of Nike or grocery items until you are 100% sure you are approved (ungated) to sell them.

   Keepa is mandatory: Don't buy software you don't need, but you absolutely need Keepa. It shows you the price history and sales velocity of an item. Without it, you're flying blind.
