Actionable Tips to Succeed at Selling On Amazon
http://www.officialkevindavid.com/
Keep Your Business Money And Your Personal Money Separate
Personal Money
Business Money
To do this I highly recommend setting up a separate bank account so that the financials are 100% separate from day one. This will become an even more important requirement down the road if you elect to setup a separate legal entity for your business. If you keep the money separate from day one, it will make your life easier down the road.
Keep Inventory In Stock
It’s much easier to sell a single item 10 different times than to sell 10 different items once each. Make sure you are reviewing your inventory and sales on a regular basis so you can replenish items that have gone out of stock.
Check Product Restrictions Before Making A Purchase
There have been many times that I have purchased an item at a retail store only to get home and realize that the brand is restricted on Amazon. Using the Amazon Seller App or the Amazon website directly before making a purchase is a simple way to avoid buying items that you aren’t eligible to sell on Amazon.
Pay Attention To Your Expenses
Make sure you carefully scrutinize any money that you are spending on your business that is not invested in inventory. Unless something is 100% necessary, say tape for shipping your boxes to Amazon, it should provide you more in value that in costs.
Invest In Your Amazon Selling Business
Investing in the right places for your business is absolutely critical for growth. There is no way I could have grown my business to the level that it is at today without the team that I have built, and without the tools and services I use to sell on Amazon. Building a team and using strategic tools have been critical, and have freed up large amounts of time that I can devote exclusively to growing the business. Just be careful with investing in too many tools too quickly.
Don’t Fall Into The Trap Of Analysis Paralysis
When getting started there are often many fears that lead to much analyzing and little to no action. In my opinion it is much better to make a mistake by taking action, compared to making the mistake of sitting idle and letting fear take over. From experiences I have learned a ton more by making a bad purchase here and there, as compared to the instances where I did what was comfortable and didn’t make a purchase that I was unsure about. I like to treat the bad buys as “tuition” for learning how to sell on Amazon. There will be some bumps here and there, but as long as you learn from them, then it will ultimately benefit you in the long run.
Check For Negative Feedback
Login to Seller Central every single day and check for negative feedback that need to be resolved, buyer messages that need responses, and any performance notifications from Amazon. Checking these things daily will ensure your account stays in good standing with Amazon.
Read Amazon Seller Policies
Read through the policies that you agree to adhere to as a seller on Amazon. These can be accessed by logging in to your seller account, and then clicking on “Policies and Agreements” towards the bottom left of the seller dashboard screen. These aren’t necessarily exciting to read, but it’s important to have an understanding of Amazon policies so you don’t lost the ability to sell on Amazon.
Learn The Language Of Selling On Amazon
There are many acronyms that are used regularly in Facebook groups, and on blogs that relate to selling on Amazon that will be foreign to you when you just get started selling on Amazon.
