The Amazon Files, hosted by Kristin Ostrander, Amazon business strategist and one of the founders of Mommy Income, hits the airwaves every Tuesday with the real truth about selling on Amazon. This show isn’t about sugar-coated reality. It’s real truth - the good, the bad and the ugly - shared with practical action steps and strategies to help both new and experienced sellers tackle the world’s largest retail sales platform.

May 20, 2019

Many new Amazon sellers feel like they can’t find anything profitable to sell or believe that the competition is too high - especially when they’re just getting started on the platform. They might spend valuable time working on a trial and error basis, and feel like they may never stumble upon the key to success. From selling on Amazon to testing other platforms such as eBay or Shopify, they desperately need to find a way to make more profit and capitalize on opportunities sooner. Such a solution will lead to a successful side hustle or allow you to break away from the 9-to-5 completely.

 

Today, we reveal how you can make wholesale more profitable for your Amazon FBA business. We share the three keys to making wholesale more profitable, including tips and tactics for dealing with vendors, getting better discounts and purchasing terms, and capitalizing on the opportunities that discontinued product lines provide. We also share when and how to buy stock ahead of holiday seasons and explain how you can put bundles together to make even more profit.
