in this video I'm going to show you step
by step how you can start selling with
Amazon I've been selling on Amazon since
January 2021 and I have been able to
generate over six figures in sales in
less than 12 months of starting Amazon
so it's very well alive and you're
definitely not wasting your time
watching this video as I know what I'm
talking about this is going to be a
complete beginner's guide and I'm gonna
go in as much detail as I possibly can
so grab your pen and paper to make some
notes and hit that subscribe button and
now let's begin the video firstly let's
talk about Amazon FBA versus Amazon fbm
now there are two ways you can start
selling products on Amazon you can
either sell it while Amazon FBA which is
fulfilled by Amazon where you simply get
your products and then you send the
products off to Amazon warehouses where
they will store the product for you and
they will ship the product for you every
time you receive an order and they will
deal with the customer service for you
all you have to do is find a profitable
product and ship it off to Amazon and
Amazon fpm is fulfilled by Merchant this
is where you buy the product and store
it in your home or warehouse and every
time you receive an order for from a
customer you will have to ship the
product to the customer and take care of
the customer service for you now the
reason why I do Amazon FBA is because I
don't want to deal with customer service
or shipping the products to customers
and doing all of those things I want to
be into pie and basically whatever I
receive an order from Amazon Amazon's
going to fulfill their order for me so I
don't have to be in one location every
single time shipping the products off to
my customers now talking about
profitable products on Amazon there are
three different type of products the
first one is an Arbitrage product this
is a product which you could buy from a
local retailer or a supermarket where
they have discounted the price of that
product by 60 or even 50 and that
product is selling for a higher price on
Amazon so all you will be doing is going
to that retailer buy all those products
as many as you can you can probably buy
around 10 units because after that they
won't let you buy more because they want
to keep it for other customers and now
some products also have a limit on how
many units you can buy so that is
arbitrage products buy the Arbitrage
products is really easy as you can
literally walk into your local
supermarket pocket and find good
Arbitrage deals however you can't really
scale this business because you can only
buy a certain amount of units so you
will always have to constantly keep
looking out for these good deals the
second type of product which you can
sell on Amazon is a wholesale product
this is a product which you can buy in
bulk at a bulk price from the wholesaler
or the brand directly and resell that
product on Amazon now the great thing
about wholesale products is that you
don't have a limit on how many units you
can buy you can buy as many as you want
so you don't have to constantly keep
looking for wholesale products every now
and then which means you can find five
or six wholesale products and they can
literally replace your nine to five
income and you don't have to constantly
keep thinking about looking for
different type of deals like Arbitrage
products however as you're buying in
bulk you will have to spend 500 or even
a thousand dollars all pounds per order
the third type of product is a private
label product this is a product where
you put your own branding which you
usually do by going to a manufacturer in
China and get about order of that
product and once it's arrived you can
create a brand new listing of that
product on Amazon and then you can start
selling that product the great thing
about a private label product is that no
one can jump on your listing so you're
the only person selling that product on
your listing and so there is no really
competition for you however the startup
costs full private label is slightly
higher than wholesale and Arbitrage
because you have to manufacture own
product you have to spend money on
Amazon PPC as well which is Amazon's ads
and then you will have to spend on
designing the product packaging and few
other bits involved which is why selling
private label products is great but also
expensive I'm currently only selling
Arbitrage and wholesale products but my
first private label product is actually
arriving this month which is what I'm
excited for but I'm moving into private
label products after two years or almost
over two uh not almost more than two
years of selling just Arbitrage and
Amazon products and building my
experience and my portfolio of products
I'm also holding a free Amazon FBA live
workshop on the 14th of May that you can
join Robbie showing you one more way how
you can find products and Supplies Plus
you'll also learn my three pricing hacks
which allows me to squeeze 37 more
profit than every other seller in the
same listing for the same product and
I'll also be conducting a live q a at
then where you can personally ask me
questions and a lot more so if you're
not registered to that workshop for free
link is in the description let's now
move on to how to set up your Amazon
account so first thing first you want to
do is go to cell.amazon.com UK if you're
in the uk.com if you're in the US and
Dot CA if you're in Canada and Dot
something wherever you're from now once
you go on cell.amazon.co.uk you can
create your seller account through this
website however there are two different
type of seller accounts you can create
one's a free one and one's a paid one
and I'll show you guys what's different
so as you can see
uh the individual plan is free but you
will be charged 75p per unit sold which
is excluding vat and the professional
account is 25 pounds per month excluding
VT which is 30 pounds per month
including vat now the one we want to go
for is the professional account just
because we will be selling more than 35
units a month and we want to advertise
the products and everything basically
this account gives you everything by
just spending 30 pounds a month and in
my opinion it's it's worth every single
penny because you're able to sell on a
marketplace where there are millions
like over 200 million customers buying
products from so all you need to do is
go and sign up and you'll be guided to
this page where you can log in with your
existing Amazon account and then fill in
the information for your seller account
or you can create a brand new account
for your Amazon seller account now I'll
leave a guide on how to set up your
account in the description which you can
use step by step and it will help you
create your Amazon account once you've
created your account you will will need
to get on a verification call with
Amazon one of Amazon's employee where
you'll have to show your proof identity
and proof of address which is basically
either your passport or driver's license
and a bank statement where they can see
your address which you have set up on
your Amazon account in the guide I've
shown you how to set up your Amazon
account with a limited company but when
you're starting off you can select your
entity type as an individual and you can
just fill in your personal information
so you don't have to worry about setting
up using a limited company or anything
so now you have your Amazon account set
up and you know the three different type
of products you can sell on Amazon but
how do you find these products that's
what I'll be showing you I'll be showing
you how to find Arbitrage products and
wholesale products I won't be showing
you how to find private label products
as I have just begun my journey but
there are so many videos on YouTube
which will show you how to find private
label products as that's what most
people do so I'll be just purely showing
you retail and wholesale products to
find Arbitrage products you can either
walk in directly to the local
supermarket or retailer or you can go on
the website like I'm on currently on
August website and on the website they
will always have a section for office or
clearance they have a offer section
which I can just click on shop now and
I'll be able to see all the toys which
are on off price now as you can see this
Barbie food truck playset with three
dolls has gone from 100 pounds to 50
pounds and these are all the products
that are on sale what we need to do now
is copy the name of each product and
paste it on Amazon to see if these
products are profitable or they're even
on Amazon and that's where you can do
manually by going on every single
website of your local retailer or
wholesaler and look at the clearance
products and then check back check the
products on Amazon you can either do
this manually or you can use this tool
called profit tool which uh by the way
you can find I think major discount
which you won't be able to find anywhere
on the internet uh with profit tool in
the description uh you can get a huge
number of percentage off now profitable
is an app that has two features one it
has an app that allow allows you to scan
any products barcode and it will give
you all the information of that product
on Amazon and then all you have to do is
put the price that you're buying it from
the local retail or hold uh supplier or
supermarket and it will show you the
profit and how many times it sells and
everything so you can live see the data
and make your decisions of buying that
product or not and the second feature is
that they have something called a deal
finder a deal finders where they have a
whole database of products that
literally have the supplier or the
retailer who's selling it and that
product which is on Amazon and you can
just check all those products and see
which one is the most profitable and you
want to buy so I'm going to blog in
right now and show you guys both of
these things so I can just log in and
this is a scan feature obviously I'm on
a laptop right now so you guys won't be
able to see you're seeing my face you
can go on deal finder and as you can see
here's the database of all the products
so this product is a reforming cleanser
88 Mo which if you go on Amazon it is as
you can see right here 88 ml and then
when you go on the product itself you
can see you can buy this product for
four pound and 95 pens which is in stock
as well and it's currently selling for
13.74 Pence so this is a great deal
already because it also shows you how
much it will cost you and how much the
profit is as well you can literally make
one pound 69 and if the product is
selling anywhere between seven thousand
and nine thousand times even if you sell
this product let's say 500 times that's
pure almost 800 pounds profit for this
product now obviously I'm just doing
everything in my mind and not really
doing any type of analysis but you get
what I'm trying to say so this is the
deal finder and if you want to sign up
with profit tool I will leave the
discount code of profit tool in the
description I've been using this app
every now and then for almost two or
since I started my Amazon Journey so
it's a great app if you want to use it
Link in the description and let's move
on to the next way to find a product
another way to find good Arbitrage deals
which no one is actually talking about
and I'm sharing with you right now so
make sure you leave a like right now is
this so you can go on a website of a
retailer and what you want to do is sign
up to the email newsletter as you can
see what most retailers do is as soon as
they have some type of discounts they
will first email you so you being in the
newsletter you're able to get those
products first as soon as they go on
offer this method is really good because
a lot of people are looking for these
Arbitrage deals and if you're able to
put your hand and on these deals first
then you're gonna be able to buy them
first now those are a few ways to find
Arbitrage deals now let's move on to how
to find wholesale products the first way
to find wholesale products is by going
on Google and typing wholesalers UK or
us wherever you are and now you will
have a list of all the wholesalers that
are in the country or whoever have a
website and they are in the UK and this
means you need to go through all of them
create a trade account with them and ask
them for their product catalog a product
catalog will usually be an Excel sheet
with all their products and all you have
to do is copy the name of the product
from their product catalog and paste it
on Amazon and as long as you're making a
profit because they don't know what
they're doing so I will leave a template
right now here and in the description
which you can actually utilize to email
them or even speak to them on the phone
and tell them what you do and you'll
most likely be able to open an account
with them now I know this sounds super
easy but you won't be able to get this
wholesale accounts open unless you
actually called them up or email them so
you need to go through each one of them
and try and open an account with them a
key tip I'll give you here is that with
all these wholesalers many people
opening an account with them so the only
way you can be different is by actually
building a relationship with them and
ordering a high number of units
consistently so they know that you're
serious and you're just not another
person who's opening gonna come with
them the second way to find profitable
products is by again going on Google and
this time you're going to put in
wholesalers near me this will give you a
list of all the wholesalers that are
near you and they're local to you now
the great great advantage of having
local wholesalers is that you're able to
find products which only you can get
access to because they're local to you
the horses are local to you and no one
else can access those products as they
don't live around you so once your
written wholesalers name me you go on
maps and you will see all these little
icons on the map and their wholesalers
then all you have to do is either go to
them directly which is why I recommend
or you can even call them up and try and
get an account with them but because
they're local to you I would highly
recommend going in person to them
finding deals right there and then
purchasing them because that's going to
be the most convenient and the easiest
way to find wholesale products now
remember as I said you go there copy the
name of that product paste on Amazon and
as long as you're able to find it for
more than how much you're buying for
that's going to be a good product now
obviously I've shown you just now how to
find products but how do you actually
make sure the products are selling and
that's what I'm going to cover now on
how to analyze products to make sure the
product you're buying will actually sell
so the first thing you would always want
to check on a product to make sure it
sells is the BSR which is also the best
sellers rank so here's a listing of a
product on your screen right now and
that product has a BSR in every single
product on Amazon has a BSR which you
can find on the product information
additional information and there's
something called the best seller rank
this number is given to every single
product on Amazon and it shows you how
well the product is selling the lower
the number the more it is selling so the
lower the BSR the more this product is
selling so this product has a BSR of 38
000 and the BSR you're looking for is
going to be below 100
000. now I know what you must be
thinking this is 38 and what we're
looking for is below 100 000 yes
anything below hundred thousand is a
product that definitely will sell but
remember the lower the BSR the faster
the product is selling the second thing
to check is to make sure the product has
consistent reviews and you can check
that by simply clicking on these uh
ratings click on that and you'll be
taken down to the review section and
then you would want to change from top
reviews to recent most recent and you
want to check that it has consistent
reviews throughout every single month so
we can see May April uh April so
basically you can go and you can even
load more Co reviews and you just need
to make sure
throughout every single month there are
reviews happening this just gives you
clarification that this product is
selling consistently and it's not a
seasonal product because sometimes you
might come up with a product that is
selling well in December but then
throughout with March April May June
July it won't sell because it was only
for that winter season it could be a
Christmas related product or something
the third thing to check is the product
variation now this would only apply If
the product has a variation and the
reason why you want to check is because
this listing has two variations which
means that these ratings or reviews
which are given to this listing is for
both of this included or combined so you
would want to make sure you buy the
right variation and you know which
variation is selling well the way you
can check is simply click on this rating
and you need to check that this
variation the size name is called 236
sorry
um this is 236 and this is 473 so you
click on the ratings and then you go
right at the bottom
and you check most recent now as you can
see two three six two three six two
three six two three six so most people
are giving a review to 236 which means
that 236 is what's selling a lot more
compared to 473 and so if you're gonna
buy 473 thinking this product is selling
a lot you're gonna be wrong and you're
gonna have this dead stock which is not
going to sell as much as you think
compared to the one which is actually
selling so that's something you would
want to check now the final thing to
check or actually do is a test order a
test order is basically ordering
anywhere from 10 to 50 units of a
specific product which you're planning
to buy to test to see if this product is
even selling because sometimes you might
do all your research on a product and
think this product is selling really
well and when you order it there's going
to be some issues with that product with
Amazon and I've had that issue in the
past which is the reason why you would
always want to do a testament because
this will allow you to know if the
product is selling and also how fast
this product is selling so then you will
know how many units of this product you
will need to order from the supplier to
have enough stock for a month or even
two months now that you have found your
product it's time to add the product
into inventory and as I mentioned that
if your product is in Arbitrage or a
wholesale product you can use listings
of that product from Amazon and add that
listing to your inventory and here's an
example of a wholesale or Arbitrage
product listing so I can buy this
product from a wholesaler as I've
already checked and so this value is
that this is a wholesale product and
another way to make sure that this is a
wholesale product and it's not a private
label listing is always make sure that
there are more than three new sellers so
what I mean by three new sellers is
every listing should have a buy box or
this little button where you'll be able
to click and have this and when you
click on filter and new you should be
able to see at least more than three
sellers so one two three four five and
the names sold by the names should be
different and it shouldn't be the same
it should be also be different the name
should be different to the brand name so
the brand name is premium which means I
want to make sure that there are no
sellers in new condition so condition as
new
which is called premium so I can see
none of them are premium so that is a
good sign for me okay now to add this
product to my inventory all I have to do
is go find the Asin of this product
which I can find by just scrolling down
go to product information and you will
have the Asin right here which I need to
copy and go to my Amazon account and I
need to go to this top left corner go to
catalog and add product and here is
where I will paste Asin and I'll search
then you need to select the condition to
new because we always want to sell
products in new condition once you have
done that you will see a lot of
information to add all you have to do is
add few things one is the price and the
price we always want to add is whatever
the lowest prices which is usually 16.25
well not usually but this product has
16.25 and then we want to select the
condition which is new and here you
always select Amazon will dispatch and
provide customer service which basically
means you want to do FBA with this
product and not fbm and for all of these
uh marketplaces you need to disable all
of this because we only want to sell in
the marketplace where we live in so I
live in the UK I want to only sell this
product in the UK Marketplace and then
you click save and finish and on this
page always always make sure you select
print and apply Amazon's barcode myself
now let me quickly explain why you
should always use Amazon's barcode
because for example let's say I send
this book with the manufacturer's
barcode and you send this book with a
manufacturer's barcode as well now my
products which I've sent have been
damaged right during shipping or
something it has been damaged why just
sending damaged one and you sending all
10 which were really nice fine condition
but by the time we reach to the
Fulfillment centers they have been
um just mixed and match and now Amazon
doesn't know whose product is whose so
they're gonna they might think that my
damaged product is yours and your one is
mine so I will get your good products
and you will get my damage product
because they won't know whether this was
your product or mine as we both have
used manufacturers but awkward but if I
use Amazon's barcode on this they can
scan and they know this will this is a
product that belongs to me as the SKU on
the barcode on the Amazon barcode will
match to my SKU on my inventory of that
product so once that's done you can
simply click on list as FBA and that is
done your inventory should have the
product in there with the price now this
is a this is the same product which I've
had in the past so it will take about 15
minutes to show up in your inventory and
that is all you do to add the product in
your inventory the next part is sending
the product off to Amazon because only
after you have sent to Amazon is when
you start making sales and Amazon is
gonna make your listing active so then
you start seeing those sales coming to
ship a product to Amazon you will need
to create a shipping plan and to do that
all you have to do is go to your
inventory which you can go by simply
going to inventory manage all inventory
and here you will see all the products
and let's say I want to ship this
product off to Amazon all I have to do
is go to this drop down in the edit and
click on send slash replenish inventory
and this will bring me to this page
where I would have to add or fill in few
information which I'll show you so first
thing is going to be product prep and
that is filled in because I already sent
this product once so you will need to
just click on this and choose no prep
required and then labeling by seller and
then just save that's all you need to do
now some products may require a certain
type of prep for example if you're
sending a glass product you'll need to
bubble wrap it but when you click on
product prep here which will be in like
like a yellow triangle it will tell you
what type of prep you need to do but
most products will have no product prep
so you can just select that and if it
does need any prep it will tell you as
well once you've done that you need to
put in the amount of units you want to
send to Amazon let's say I send in 10
units so I do 10 and then ready to pack
now once I've done that I need to click
on print all SKU labels now SKU labels
are the labels that you want to stick on
top of the product you're sending so
when you click on print SKU labels you
will have this pop-up now from here you
would want to select the template of 42
lab 44 labels and you can buy these 44
labels templates from Amazon which I'll
show you right now so as you can see on
the screen you can buy this A4 sheet
with 44 stickers on it and it will cost
you around 11 pounds and 450 Pence or 11
pounds 39 Pence and you will have 100
Pages 184 sheets with this labels once
you've selected this template click on
print all and it will download all the
labels in this template and all you have
to then do is put that A4 sheet which
you have bought off Amazon I'll probably
leave the link of this in the
description as well where is it gone
the downloaded file will have the labels
in the exact template as the 44 label
sheet so all you have to do is put this
labels into the printer and the printer
can be any printer which you use for
your work or anything I will also leave
a link to the printer in the description
as well which you can purchase and that
is good for the long term so because you
can print thousand pages per drink as
well and then you simply click on print
and these labels will come out when they
come out you peel off individual ones
and you stick on individual product
barcodes now bear in mind when I say
individual products barcode if you are
selling a pack of two so if you're
selling a pack of two books then you
need to put these two books inside a
poly bag or like a bag and you will need
to put the SKU label which you have just
printed off on the actual poly bag not
on individual books so if you're selling
a pack of two you don't have to
individually stick it because your pack
of two is one unit so you put it on the
actual poly bag I hope that is clear
once that's done you simply cross this
out and then you do packed individual
units and you'll wait for the next step
which is to given the Box information so
once you're prepared the units you need
to pour it in a box and give the Box
information so let's say I'm sending in
10 units of this pan and everything fits
in the one in one box so I do continue
and here I need to put the box dimension
so the box dimension could be 45 so I'll
just use a measurement tape 45 by 35 by
what's this going to be lots of uh 45 by
35 by another 40 okay and the Box weight
let's say I'll do 2 kg
now bear in mind if the Box weighs more
than 12 kg then you will need to put a
warning label which you can print off
from Google so warning 15 kg label you
can just print it off this these labels
you can print it off and you can you
have to stick it on all four sides of
the box that's a warning label you must
if the Box weighs more than 15 kg once
that's done you do continue confirm and
continue and you move on to the next
step here you will need to select the
day you want to ship this product so
today's Thursday I want to ship it
tomorrow Friday and it will also give me
the amount it will cost me to ship this
product which is 3 pounds and 16 Pence
excluding v80 in the UK so this amount
does not include v80 which they will
charge and this amount will be taken
directly from my Amazon account and if
my Amazon account does not have
sufficient amount then eventually they
will take the money from the attached
bank card which is on my Amazon account
the next step is to Simply tick and
click on accept charges and shipping now
we're almost at the LA last step of the
shipping plan and that is to print the
label for the box and the template
you're going to use is the 99.139 and
you're going to click on print now this
will this will simply give you this
little template it's like an A4 sheet
with this uh both labels so this is the
UPS label and this is the FBA label this
will go on one side of the box you can
actually buy these labels just to label
A4 sheet which again I'll leave the link
in the description as well so you simply
put this in the printer and it will
print on these labels sorry these labels
and you peel off and stick it on the
side of the Box make sure it's on the
side of the box and on the top or
anywhere else once that's done you click
on view tracking details and this will
give you the most important part of the
shipping plan and that is the tracking
ID because most people think that
everything's done now well you have
created the shipping plan and the
shipping plan is done but you still need
to schedule UPS to come collect this
shipping or the shipment from your home
and that is the last part of this entire
shipping plan and that is to copy the
tracking ID
and then you have to go to the UPS
website to schedule the shipment so
you'll need to go to UPS on Google and
once you're on the website you go to
shipping and schedule a collection this
is the form you will have to fill in
it's a really simple form nothing too
complicated and I'll show you how to
fill in as well do you have a prepaid
UPS shipping label yes we do and that's
because we made one with the shipping
plan and here you need to put the
tracking ID of your shipping plan and if
you have multiple tracking ideas which
you will have if you're sending in
multiple boxes you have to add all the
shipping IDs by putting a comma in
between so you put a comma in between
and you add all the shipping
um oh sorry tracking IDs but we only
have ones who will add one and then you
put in your name contact information
address where you want the product to be
collected from this is important where
you want the product to be collected
from and here you put in the number of
packages that you want to send so we're
only sending one box but if you're
sending in 10 boxes you put 10 and then
for weight you will so we will keep 10
and for weight you'll have to add the
total weight so for me it's just going
to be the same which is 12 kg but if
you're sending in 10 boxes each of them
weighing 10 kg so then the total weight
is going to be 100 kg thus the items
items that way sorry does your
collection contain items that weigh more
than 32 kg no because our items does not
weigh more than 32 kg so we do know once
you're filling this information then you
will get to put in the collection date
and the great thing about UPS is that
you can schedule a collection the next
day so you don't have to keep the stock
at your home for a week or two three
weeks you can simply prep it up today
create a shipping plan and tomorrow
it'll be gone from your home and if
you're not at home you can also leave
your shipping at the nearest UPS
collection uh place and you can do that
by simply going and dropping your UPS
parcel bit but once you have filled in
the date you want it to be collected you
need to click next and then you will
need to confirm remember to click that
confirm button because if you don't then
UPS is not going to come to your home to
collect the parcel but that is basically
how of you go from finding your product
to adding the product to inventory to
shipping the product off to Amazon and
once it's to Amazon which usually takes
anywhere from three to seven days you
will see those sales come in as long as
you have found a good product now I'll
quickly break down how you can make 0 to
10K with Amazon and how many products
you actually need to make ten thousand
pounds a month or even dollars a month
on Amazon all you need is 10 products
each making you 35 pounds a day and that
will equal to 350 pounds a day and if
you multiply that by 30 that will give
you over ten thousand pounds every
single month with just 10 products on
Amazon and even if you entire Amazon
Journey all you do is find 10 products
that's going to equate to ten thousand
pounds of dollars every single month on
Amazon now obviously there's a lot more
to running a business like this and
