Since we are in transition on the show schedules (moving to 4 podcasts a month and the e-commerce gladiator on Tuesdays) I couldn’t get a call in time with Roland as per usual – so I’m going to go through some solo reflections on what we have been learning and what I am noticing in Amazon FBA in 2018.
Topics Covered in this Episode
Private Label Still Takes Time!
Sure, we could have started with no branded items, maybe would have been faster- but like what we are building.*
Picking a Category vs Various Products
Still like category / niche versus a whole bunch of random products that data shows can sell well.*
Amazon Customers Feel Like gods
Seriously they have all the leverage and they know it!*
Still Believe It Is All About Brand
While I worry about competition, still believe long term value is in the brand, and still believe Amazon is the best place to launch it. Unless unique enough for Kickstarter.*
Leveraging a Lot of Skills I Use in The Global From Asia content world
At least for the off-Amazon part – blog writers, web, social media posting, systems. My course Scale By outsourcing put to the test again.*
Building a New Team Is the Biggest Investment
Seriously, that is where a lot of the time has been spent.*
It is About Consistency
Just like anything in life, need to put in the work daily.*
Excited to leverage my network
Colombia coffee, more partners, more leverage.*
