@TravisMarziani Thanks for the info Travis! I didn't understand the second month, the amount he said he lost doesn't make sense to me. I must be missing some costs, can you please explain it?
@@TravisMarziani definitely going to watch the 8-hour course what I don't like I'm going to be really honest with you what I don't like is the fact that it's only a 14-day money back guarantee like usually everything is 30 to 45 days so if you just shut this down in 14 days I absolutely know you can't learn enough to know if this is going to work for the individual taking the course so I want to know why you're so conservative with your money back guarantee there has to be a reason without a doubt If you don't feel like your course is going to work for most people and that 14 day is your outs were you still keep the $1,000 then that's not good In other words that that's not nice for you to do If you believe in your course then you would give a 30-day money back guarantee at least that let's keep in mind we're looking at overseas we're looking at building a something from out of nothing and you also talk about how you will help somebody with a product but when I'm looking at the reviews that's not the case now I may be wrong so just come here and say yes if you don't have an idea you'll help you say you help with the manufacturers that's not what I'm seeing on the reviews so please really make it known here what you're willing to to help us move forward
Launched my product with Travis program last year, did $80,000 in sales, and $25,000 in profit. Yes, that's not enough to make a living but I made that money completely on the side, with a total of maybe 100 hours spent. That's $250/hr for something that's very little work going forward and only going to continue to make me money (and I could sell the business for a lot of money too now). I see a lot of people complaining in comments... ANY BUSINESS will take work to build, but building an Amazon business is one of the most rewarding, and easiest in my opinion, especially with Travis' mentorship and help
Taking a look at the other comments... I would never complain about making $100k a year for a business that takes 4 hours a week to run and is something I'm passionate about.
Yall .... I am an amazon seller and let me tell you - Selling $400,000 and getting only $100,000 in profit for the year sucks when you look at how much work and headache is involved with dealing with crap quality from China, competition from copycats that come up and steal your sales, customers who lie and return stuff defective, etc. These videos fool you into thinking it is a great no-brainer but the reality is it is real work and it just sucks. Go explore more profitable ways to do business. You have to sell massive amounts in order to make money on Amazon and deal with a ton of BS on all sides. Is 25% profit good to you? This video makes it sound like it but it leaves out many of his other costs. I didn't see it talk about the loss of money in returned product because of poor quality. Plus he got a California business license but lives in Florida? Anyway - TAXES! especially in CA. This dude quit his job. Is he really living off $100,000 a year (less if you take out even more costs of doing business). He will have to work hard to beat down the copycats especially since he just revealed his business on this video. He's gonna have to get back on Helium 10 to find a new product to sell. More research time. And he even admitted that he just copied someone else selling the same product and just did a better job with marketing. Like I said - Amazon is flooded with copycats! It's a very tough market! You can only make money by starting a UA-cam channel and talking about selling. People like MyAmazonGuy have admitted that they have scaled back their selling on Amazon BUT STILL DO VIDEOS because that's where they are really making the money now.
💯 agree with you they never told you about the dark side of this business. what about return, negative reviews, fake buyers, ip complaints bla bla and one morning u'll wake up and find Amazon has removed ur listing all of ur inventory will go in drain and u already left the job ??? like seriously it's very easy to sit in an office and fascinate the peoples
Agree.One of the major 'mistakes' he made was he 'ran out of inventory'. Well how is he supposed to order and pay for more inventory when he hasn't received the money from Amazon yet. He had about 5k in cash at the start, but he really needed at least 15k in cash in order to scale up in inventory once the product started selling well. Also, what about when the product stops selling well (due to competition, poor reviews, quality issues or whatever). He will be left with a lot of stock which he is paying Amazon to store every month. It just ain't that simple!
2nd month, he ran out of inventory. I assume he did in the middle of the month and he placed an order. You are subtracting the order which is for the future sell from the monthly revenue which does not make sense. If you run out of inventory you may lose the opportunity, amazon ranking, and etc but you do not directly lose money. I am not an accountant but well that did not sound good. One reason that he lost money is because of returns, so the first month he actually did not make that amount since the returns would hit the second month.
I spent $8k on a private label course and then ran out of money. I wish I just watched UA-cam videos and invested that money on a product. Now I’m out of money and have to save from zero. I’m so heartbroken.
Sorry to hear that. If you still want to sell on Amazon, I would recommend creating your own product instead of private label. For the funds, you can use a Kickstarter for that ua-cam.com/users/livev5oWd7s739s?feature=shared
They talk about profit each month but never revisited his startup costs and all the costs to refill his inventory. He realistically made no profit for the first 7 months. And if he didn't have the capital to continue injecting money into his business to keep it running, he would've never made it to those late months where he made real profit. For people who don't have 10s of thousands of dollars in initial capital, they would've failed early on and ended up in more debt. I think that's a huge issue to address. This is why most small businesses fail within their first two years.
Thanks but I disagree. Yes, having a lot money would really be good and would make things easier when starting out but that is not all there is. There are ways you can fund your business without taking it all out from your own pocket. It's really about using the right method and finding the right product to sell
@@TravisMarziani So you disagree with the statement that it takes a significant amount of capital to start and maintain this business model, which you literally showed us throughout the video with quotes of his expenses and revenue. And your reasoning for why you disagree is that you don't need capital to solely come from your own pocket, because you can generate capital from other sources. By your own statement, you admitted that you still need capital, regardless of where it comes from, to start and maintain this business model.
I think the key is to, lets say you order 4k worth of inventory and if you run out maybe bump it to 6k, and if that runs out bump it to 8k and just finding the sweet spot? I could be just yapping since ive never sold on amazon BUT i will start very soon, just getting capital atm.
Brother, I like your videos, but the truth is that there are many gaps in this video that are very important to know the reality. Many people who have never sold on Amazon may get excited and, in the end, may get disappointed when they realize that reality is not as you describe in this video. For example, when you start showing the numbers month by month, you don't include the PPC costs, and I don't think that person could have launched their product without PPC. Assuming they didn't use PPC and sent external traffic to start, that also involves significant expenses. You don't talk about returns. That's also an important cost that Amazon takes from your pocket, among other things. In short, it would be very useful for new sellers if you provide more realistic data in another video. Thank you.
@@TravisMarziani Yeah without the costs which is an expense and impacts net profit. Pointless doing the expenses if you're not going to count them all.
I'm left scratching my head after hearing his manufacturer couldn't keep up with his 400k in sales. It's not that much for a manufacturer. I'm curious why he encountered this problem 😮
I know somebody who is an independent contractor engineer, he doesn't do 9-5, if he has a project he is very busy and has long hour to complete the project. Depends of the client, but honestly he has a repeat clients that he trust, for variety of reasons. He makes good money.
@TravisMarziani It's interesting, so many people talk about passive income...getting passive income, but I think there's still plenty to do in a business to gain passive income. Things to do and tasks to manage. Better to ask ourselves, will I honestly have the energy and interest to do the tasks that the business requires. What are the daily tasks and obstacles of running a Amazon FBA business? That would be a important topic.
When doing these videos can you ask how much time and effort each interviewee did per month/week. Some people work 40 hrs a week trying this and give up when really the *magic* number is 60 hrs 2 make $40k per month. Knowing how much time and effort needed will really demystify more of the Amazon selling process. Also, some people dont realize that you may make a profit of say 10K in a month but some of that will be used to buy inventory for the next month due to rolling inventory costs. Talking about rolling inventory costs will also be a big help. I alpreciate this video, very informative.
I checked "Chef's Haven," the product this guy is selling. It says 200+ units sold last month. That means less than 300 sold per month. That is revenue of $15000 or less. So why is discrepancy?
I try to cover everything in the course but each journey is different. There will always be instances where you think you should have done something better.
@@TravisMarziani look at the 8:39m mark of video. He c learly mentions keywords and using ppc. you know you can't sell anything n amazon without ppc today's age. I am selling 5 products right now and without ppc they might as well not be there
Ya, you can avoid that by starting your own online marketplace, growing it to 100s of millions of buyers, spending millions on advertising, investing in 100s of warehouses, 1000s of delivery trucks, and paying 1000s of employees. Just do all of that and you can skip paying Amazon a cut....
It's just right don't you think since they are basically doing a lot to get your product to the customers. You also have to consider the amount of money, time and effort that Amazon spent to get where they are now
Travis, at 15:06 you said that you can hire a quality control agent around for around $100. What is the name of the quality control company that you recommend?
this is way far from reality, first that they haven't talked that most knew seller faced is Amazon Ads that consumed lots of your revenue. do not fell in this trick, as they all want to make video and make money from this interview nothing else. not easy to make money from Amazon there are lots competitors that you can't even come close to them with your 4-5000 dollars.
@@TravisMarziani well, you have but wasn't the reality, you can launch a product and with one product you become rich. first when you launch a product until you don't do ppc ads, people will not find you even in the 50 pages of Amazon so you can sell. second, when you do ppc you have to have more than 1000 in stocks and you can do with 250, and selll 20 items in a day. however, the Jungle scout and Helium is bull sh*it, it shows the product that selling more but when you launch that product even with very low price no one purchase that, now you may tell me that listings and pictures and blah blah, don't worry every thing we done correctly even better than the one who sell more but the reason some thing else which review and having control of the market. you can not compete with 5000 dollar cash with the who has 50,000 dollar investment including experience. so I suggest be realistic and help people show the reality and tell the dark side too as you say the good side. thanks
How can you run out of inventory, when you do listings dont you put how many you got in inventory? And also do you create listing? And you did advertising? Thanks
I am a software developer making decent income and I am used to this lifestyle now, but I do not wish to continue doing a job, I just want to have something of my own, have a source of passive income. I am not creative tho and everything seems saturated :/
Hey Travis it would be an honor to take your course but for minimum wage employee it’s too much for me, it would be a great idea to offer a contest for any individual to win and come and learn from you, it would give the lower class an opportunity to become successful for those who are truly interested, thank you for reading my comment and for the others don’t give up, be patient, everything will come when it’s time and just keep swimming
@@TravisMarziani hey ima try to save up to get your course, prob no for this season but hopefully for the next, do you know when will you be opening the next course schedule?
amazon marketplace launced this year in south africa. i really wanna do this. like really want to but dont knw where to start cos these videos are mainly for americans
Can someone please help me out with just one thing, I am trying to get myself registered for seller account in US amazon and not being able to get the OTP they send through sms. Whats the solution?
@@TravisMarziani No since I am in Pakistan, I tried to use my own, but can't get any OTP. What can I do? I used my sister's Saudi Arabia's number. And she got the OTP. So I ask for her OTP each time I get signed out. But the profile is still under verification process so I don't know what will happen next. Can you suggest a better idea?
Hard to believe. I have product with 4.1 stars I’m luck to break even after PPC and Amazon taking all the money. He’s making all this money with 3.5stars and very little review.
same i feel like half his videos have made-up numbers. But speaking about your product, do you spend too much on PPC's? or is your product not priced very high, I could be wrong but you should at-least have a 10% profit margin at the very least, and comfortably around 22%.
@@morphanok6932 ya profit should be minimum 10% realistically between 18-22%, after PPC, selling fee, p&p fee, product costs etc. I had a few products do well over covid but I stopped since i went back to school for masters. I'm graduating this summer and want to get back into FBA that's why I commented under the video. what's ur story
Sorry but no offense Travis! You talk more with less useful content. You need to increase the content proportion with less amount of talk making yourself more inspiring and look mature as well. I mean the content delivered in 16 mins could be within 6 mins but more side talks, emotional and marketing stunts made it lengthy, boring and childish.

They make money of telling you how good a business is and how to do it while themselves don't make money of such business.
well i found it also strange why in the hell they want to tell evrything if its such a good business
Travis, maybe you should start doing videos on how many people tried and failed. Maybe we can all learn from the mistakes of others
I do have a playlist on that. You can check it out here ua-cam.com/video/Hzl9b8trydU/v-deo.html
I believe that's not the right number of his profit. There is amazon storage fee.
Great question. Example of numbers... out of 1000 people, only 5 make it big?
if he shown u the failed results, he cant make a dime off u 😂😂
@@suzyc8317 No, only if your inventory is stored for longer than a 90+ period. As long as you manage inventory correctly you will not.

I'm confused how everyone has 3 major mistakes that they make shouldn't all these mistake be covered in your course Travis so people don't make them?
I try to cover everything in the course but each journey is different. There will always be instances where you think you should have done something better.
wait, why was month ten cost of product 40% of revenue [$24K] when month one cost of product was only 29% or revenue [$2672]?
That's the cost of the products sold. It's higher in month ten as more products were sold then.

It's just right don't you think since they are basically doing a lot to get your product to the customers. You also have to consider the amount of money, time and effort that Amazon spent to get where they are now
Doesn't matter how much you pay them, key points is you gey freedom
@@brandondeakins564cool eventually when this becomes the only way of business and it’s making record profits while you make nothing remember that
Travis, at 15:06 you said that you can hire a quality control agent around for around $100. What is the name of the quality control company that you recommend?
Thanks for the question! I'll get back to you on this
Same question
@@TravisMarziani answer this question please. 🙏
@@TravisMarziani Travis, I would greatly appreciate the answer to this question. Or at least how to go about finding a good one.
this is way far from reality, first that they haven't talked that most knew seller faced is Amazon Ads that consumed lots of your revenue. do not fell in this trick, as they all want to make video and make money from this interview nothing else. not easy to make money from Amazon there are lots competitors that you can't even come close to them with your 4-5000 dollars.
We did talk about PPC in the video. Did you watch until the end?
@@TravisMarziani well, you have but wasn't the reality, you can launch a product and with one product you become rich. first when you launch a product until you don't do ppc ads, people will not find you even in the 50 pages of Amazon so you can sell. second, when you do ppc you have to have more than 1000 in stocks and you can do with 250, and selll 20 items in a day. however, the Jungle scout and Helium is bull sh*it, it shows the product that selling more but when you launch that product even with very low price no one purchase that, now you may tell me that listings and pictures and blah blah, don't worry every thing we done correctly even better than the one who sell more but the reason some thing else which review and having control of the market. you can not compete with 5000 dollar cash with the who has 50,000 dollar investment including experience. so I suggest be realistic and help people show the reality and tell the dark side too as you say the good side. thanks
How can you run out of inventory, when you do listings dont you put how many you got in inventory? And also do you create listing? And you did advertising? Thanks
This happens sometimes especially when you're just starting out and have no idea how much inventory you actually need
Hello Travis, does the person you hire for quality control in china check the quality of your specific ready-to-ship bulk run of products?
It depends on what your agreement is with the inspector but it is possible
I am a software developer making decent income and I am used to this lifestyle now, but I do not wish to continue doing a job, I just want to have something of my own, have a source of passive income.
I am not creative tho and everything seems saturated :/
You might want to try out the passion product method. This is what I did to make a passive income business on Amazon FBA

I do online arbitrage and I wanna expand to pl . Is it hard to find a profitable product?
FBA vs ecom dropshipping ...
Dropshipping is 1000000% better. Just takes some time to understand organic and ads if you decided to do them.
Nope I don't think so. Dropshipping no longer works and I talk more about it here ua-cam.com/video/j3WDKNOyxI4/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Hey Travis it would be an honor to take your course but for minimum wage employee it’s too much for me, it would be a great idea to offer a contest for any individual to win and come and learn from you, it would give the lower class an opportunity to become successful for those who are truly interested, thank you for reading my comment and for the others don’t give up, be patient, everything will come when it’s time and just keep swimming
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@TravisMarziani hey ima try to save up to get your course, prob no for this season but hopefully for the next, do you know when will you be opening the next course schedule?

It depends actually, I have students in my program who were able to earn even on the first day of their launch

Is LLC legal support needed for non-US residents?

Sure...
Can someone please help me out with just one thing, I am trying to get myself registered for seller account in US amazon and not being able to get the OTP they send through sms. Whats the solution?
Are you using a US phone number?
@@TravisMarziani No since I am in Pakistan, I tried to use my own, but can't get any OTP. What can I do? I used my sister's Saudi Arabia's number. And she got the OTP. So I ask for her OTP each time I get signed out. But the profile is still under verification process so I don't know what will happen next.
Can you suggest a better idea?
Hi how we can whole sale fba model selling in uae market with out LLC and company???
I'm actually not a fan of that method. I talk more about that here ua-cam.com/video/fN9CsUzZUXI/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Why would they not include the cost of time.. “I made it on canva for $0” is literally just a lie.
Amazon fees are outrageous!
Why do you say that?
Too bad, Temu, I mean Amazon will be selling them for $14.99 in a few months.
LLC 800 Dollars??? in Germany between 16-65 $
California's LLC is only $40. That's a bogus number. $800?
That's the annual franchise tax for the LLC
It’s crazy a lot of
Huh?
SOUTH AFRICA haw can you selling
We forgot about taxes?
It's not exactly black and white
He is now working for Amazon.
I need to contact this guy !
Весь ролик одна сплошная реклама
Can you resell branded products for example Samsung products?
You need to provide proper documentation for that showing you are authorize to sell the brand
Woaaaah that’s terrible though, he isn’t keeping much of his earrings
It's understandable though with the costs and fees of selling on Amazon, but you also get what you pay for so it's all good
he didn't speak about fees PPC for the first month, these day its IMPOSSIBLE to start AMAZON without this charge. He lies ?
It is possible. There are other ways to market aside from PPC
$997 for course ? not free then ?
There is a free version as well as a paid one.
he lies. you're going to wallow. he didn't talk about the most important cost PPC. it's impossible to succeed in 2024 without PPC
So true!
But do I need to have a stock of products at home?
You can keep some of your inventory at home to avoid paying a lot in storage fees. You can also send new stocks quickly in case you are running out
he lies. you're going to wallow. he didn't talk about the most important cost PPC. it's impossible to succeed in 2024 without PPC
he never tell your name when how he started his business
Huh? Did you even watch the whole video?
he lies. you're going to wallow. he didn't talk about the most important cost PPC. it's impossible to succeed in 2024 without PPC
Hard to believe. I have product with 4.1 stars I’m luck to break even after PPC and Amazon taking all the money. He’s making all this money with 3.5stars and very little review.
Your margins suck then
same i feel like half his videos have made-up numbers. But speaking about your product, do you spend too much on PPC's? or is your product not priced very high, I could be wrong but you should at-least have a 10% profit margin at the very least, and comfortably around 22%.
@@venkputta271 Would that figure be after PPC?
@@morphanok6932 ya profit should be minimum 10% realistically between 18-22%, after PPC, selling fee, p&p fee, product costs etc. I had a few products do well over covid but I stopped since i went back to school for masters. I'm graduating this summer and want to get back into FBA that's why I commented under the video. what's ur story
Maybe you should consider adjusting your margins
The math is not mathing
Lol

U don't need an LLC to start a business in America. It helps. But not necessary
Yes but I would highly recommend it especially if you're product is something that you think you might get sued for. It's an added protection.

wow
Sorry but no offense Travis! You talk more with less useful content. You need to increase the content proportion with less amount of talk making yourself more inspiring and look mature as well. I mean the content delivered in 16 mins could be within 6 mins but more side talks, emotional and marketing stunts made it lengthy, boring and childish.
I disagree but thanks for the feedback nonetheless
Amazon take my funds without any notice or reason the funds are not showing I was trying to call seller support the option also been disabled
Is it not for the fees? You can open a case on this so seller support can address it
No proof
