SELLING ON AMAZON


Here are the TOP SELLING ITEMS ON AMAZON FOR UNDER $50.  This is a set of terms that I can use to search at Amazon, courtesy Sandeep, an Amazon rep. 
Pharmapacks is a Bronx-based online shopping store.  What I want to know are--what are the top selling stores on Amazon?  
A pool for kids is $25.  
Family inflatable pool, $24.  
Is there a way to tell how many of an item have sold?  
A LOL beach ball sells or $11.  
Women's Casual Pocket Long Dress, $24.  
Yoga Pants, Tummy Control, $19.  

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
Turns out that Amazon does not show the number of units sold for books.  You can find that at Publisher's Weekly, but I wonder--what about other items sold on Amazon--can you find out how many of another product is sold?
  
JIM COCKRUM 
Skip McGrath recommends Jim Cockrum's Silent Sales Machine.  Skip also recommends Jim's Offline Biz Program.  This just seems odd to me that Skip, who touts himself as the Amazon and eBay guru would be directing people to Jim.  I know that Jim is successful and does help people.  I've heard that from reputable people. 

Next, Skip points you to Chris Malta, who runs an eBay radio station?  Go figure.  He writes
My friend Chris Malta, who is the Product Sourcing editor for eBay Radio, offers a program called Worldwide Brands. For a one-time fee, Chris gives you a directory of actual manufacturers and true master distributors who have all been contacted in advance and have agreed to drop ship for eBay and small internet sellers.
CHRIS MALTA
So it looks like Chris Malta's site is the world's largest drop shipper directory.  That could be helpful.  It costs $279.
One of my best-selling books of all time has been and continues to be, How to Sell Used Books on Amazon and eBay. Peter Valley has written several books about Amazon but his latest one is a great companion to my book. His latest book is all about sourcing books for low cost or even for free: I know a lot about sourcing books, but Peter’s book, Book Sourcing Secrets taught me several things I didn’t know and really opened my eyes to new ways to source. Book Sourcing Secrets is a highly complete and is undoubtedly the largest and most in-depth guide to sourcing used books cheaply to sell for huge profits on eBay and/or Amazon.
Okay, Skip lists a couple of Liquidation sources.  The prices here may even beat Alibaba.  Problem is that the links to Robert Cyr's resources are dead.  This is the second in as many links from Skip's site that I've found dead.  
Buying and selling liquidation products is a great way to earn large profits as you can buy some of these items at prices as low as 20% of the normal wholesale price. But the problem is this market is fraught with perils and unscrupulous operators.
The Liquidator’s Guide by Robert Cyr is an excellent resource and includes his Black Book of industry suppliers and direct sources. So if that marketplace interests you, check out The Liquidator’s Guide.
Sadly, from what I can tell, it looks like McGrath is simply changing the window dressing on his site and ignoring material resources that clients might want to buy and that could help them.  It looks like Jim Cockrum has grown into the key Amazon and eBay go-to guy.  

KINDLE PUBLISHING, KDP, or Kindle Direct PublishingJim has a course for this too

Okay, here Skip delivers on another source, Second Office, a virtual assistant outfit in the Philippines.  
Do you need help creating eBay and/or Amazon listings? Or how about help with creating copy of blog posts. I use a company in the Philippines called 2nd Office.
Many of their workers are graduates of US Universities. They do very good work and the fees are far less than you would pay in the US or Canada. 
VENDIO
Skip offered Vendio, but again his link to the site was dead.  What is going on, Skip?  So it sounds like Vendio handles fulfillment of orders placed on either Amazon or eBay.   

LLC
Skip recommends using My Corporation for setting up an LLC.

Custom Mugs are not cheap.  They're a good, money-making price.  Trick is to sell enough of them.

  • As many of you know who have been following me for a while - I have never been a big fan of pay-per-click advertising. However, that changed when I discovered the Ignite Program from Seller Labs. Since signing up with ignite, my advertising-connected sales have skyrocketed. Ignite is easy to use and learn and their support is excellent.
    The other program I am having huge success with is KiblyKibly is a program that helps build your feedback quickly and increase product reviews. Since signing up with them my feedback is growing much faster and I have increased my product reviews substantially.

$90,000 Per Month


Her name is Cindy Sorely.  I didn't learn it until the end of the video.  Cindy@CindySorely.com.  She's at Facebook.  Her Etsy store.  I believe.  His name is Steve.  What, Steve Raiken?  That's it. He's got a site named RaikenProfit.  And even in his About Page, he fails to identify his full name.  It's just Steve.   

Create a facebook group.  Handle includes what the site is about. 
Starting with visibility? Name your group, tag it, handmade.  Tag it with 5 words.  It’s not a page. It’s not a marketplace.  It’s a group!!!!  These provide the best sales. 
Only fees on PayPal.  No fees on Facebook.

Be consistent with your rules.  Post your rules, have people read them.  Every seller does not use the sell feature; use the albums.  People can't get into your group.  On the marketplace, 
Freshbooks?  This is accounting software that makes billing easier.  She also recommended ShipStation.  
She generates $90,000 per month selling on Facebook.  Somebody that crochets headbands?  Whoa.  Or Baby clothes or baby Blankets.  Or hemstitch.  Raiken Profit hosts this interview and this is their YouTube channel.  

She says that she can do $2,000 to $10,000 a day on a Sunday, selling fabric for stitching.  What the heck is eBay Open?  Okay, so she just proved my point.  She said that one of the wholesale distributors was going out of business and that she ended up buying $50,000 worth of merchandise.  These success stories are about people with money already.

CURSOR POINTER JUMPING

This guy recommends "DOWNLOADING AN APP" to fix the problem of the bouncing cursor. Oh, boy.


Another option you have is turning the pointer off while typing.  Go to the Mouse Settings and under Pointer Options, you've got, well, options.  



And this clown suggests going into Device Manager and disabling the Microsoft mouse.
