    Hey Travis, I launched my first product 13 days ago and its selling really well. I have done around $5300 USD revenue so far, but im spending a lot on advertising. Ive already spent around $3300 on PPC so far leaving me with nothing in return because the rest is amazon fees. What should I do? Should I stop PPC? please help.

      You stop ppc for a while or you optimise your ppc

    • @TravisMarziani
      @TravisMarziani  5 місяців тому

      You should optimize your PPC, check which keywords are doing well and turn off those with not so good performance

    with how much money Amazon makes at this point i think its more than fair for them to drop the percentage on what they take from sellers. am i right or am i right..? from what im getting here they are taking about 65+ percent of all gross sales.

      You obviously don't have a clue on this!!! When Amazon scales their platform to millions of products, their complexity to manage and control this does not increase in a linear fashion but is a geometric curve and their costs goes up accordingly!!!

    It seems like only Amazon is REALLY earning money and a factory, because these results you can make ONLY if you work hard on analytics and make Amazon richer. Otherwise no chances!!!

    Hi Travis, I wanted to comment on some of your other videos but thought the older videos you might not respond to, with regards to Amazon inventory storage - when creating a new branded product, there is no sales run rate so Amazon might get you a total storage that you can send to amazon as maybe 50 pieces, now shipping 50 per time becomes a logistical nightmare and costly, how would you overcome this?

      There aren't a lot of food certifications required. If you make any kind of claims like "it's vegan" or "organic" then you would need to have certifications. Generally, anything that goes into the body or on the skin should be FDA-approved.

    The only problem for me is that when you sell an apple, your profit should be double, so you buy two apples.
    The way I see it, with Amazon, your net profit could barely cover your expenses, and doubling your inventory would be impossible. 🤔
    We cannot just think about profit, but how are you going to pay for inventory, and how will you double it while covering all of your expenses at the same time.

    Hey y’all I watch all the UA-cam Amazon tutorials. I tried it and it didn’t work out to me . I lost all my money and I have to get rid of all my products that I Oder. My advice for y’all is don’t follow anything what y’all watch on UA-cam. It might work for em but not you. And it takes a lot of failure to become successful.
