So you seen all these tiktok millionaires who made money with Amazon FBA and you want to try it too, right?
This basically same as dropshipping, well basically the whole world is dropshipping, even everything you buy at local store is "dropshiped".
Get your amazon account. Now you have two options to ship. You can pack and ship the products yourself, but if your not from USA you can use paid Amazon Fulfillment Centers ( They will store and ship your products for you, but beware its pricy, and they will charge you as long as your products are sitting there ) or external warehouse fulfillment centers. You can find fulfillment centers on google.
Now what do you sell? You can sell ANYTHING you want. There is program named "Jungle Scout" which shows sellers, how much they sold and how much they made. So this is really useful tool if you want to get into Amazon FBA. People buy anything on amazon today so you can resell anything as long as you make money, one of youngest amazon millionaires I believe was wholesale buying everything from stores, like tooth paste, etc, anything that people use over and over, shampoos pampers, anything he could get buy a lot and ship from his office, you get the point, what sales on Walmart or any unknown supermarket will sell on Amazon too!
Then comes getting products from China. So you find something profitable, that has been selling, competition is average and as you can see in Jungle Scout someone is making 10k, 20k, 50k, 100k and more, and you want to get the taste of that peace of the pie, so you find direct factory, no middle man or anything, in AliExpress or Alibaba, preferably Alibaba since its more based on factories and wholesale rather and AliExpress with bunch of middle man Chinese drop shipping these products to you by selling the product on AliExpress, collecting the money, buying from factory, sending to you - That`s WHY shipping usually takes AGES! So you find supplier on Alibaba, of anything, if you want to private label it, get your design logo, company name for like 10-20$ on Fiverr and ask them to put the name and logo on all products. This is how blend jet turned into tens of millions dollar company, I'm not sure if they are on amazon but that`s how they used drop shipping model. Shipping will take some time, there might be some fees, i`m not sure about USA import system right now. So you get the idea.
COMPETITION - Yes, you gonna be buried at first at the bottom, if your from same country as Amazon your selling to its best to start shipping yourself, when you grow and have so many orders its not worth waste the time then fulfillment centers. All top dogs gonna get most of the pie, why? Because they have been in the game longest. Of course Amazon wants best experience for people so they rather pitch old sellers with good reviews, etc, rather than some newbie whose product or shipping time might make customer unhappy, AND YOU DON`T WANT TO MAKE ANY BEZOS CUSTOMERS ATLEAST 0.0001% UNHAPPY ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE ON AMAZON! Most of them sellers, buy fake reviews, to get more sales and to get ahead of you, so yes probably you going to have to take some nasty steps and buy some reviews and write yourself some authentic looking reviews with photos, I`d get somebody on fiverr or take example and inspiration from other reviews. I don`t tolerate this and force you to do it, but just informing you what unfair advantage top sellers are using so playing against them without their games might be hard.
