    @GoldCoastBound nice numbers!!

    That is a lot of product to move! Do you do shipping yourself or is this via Amazon FBA or some other provider?

    Congrats to you!

    no problem Kassy,

    yes we private label all of our products....we design some ourself, but the suppliers have in house designers that can change things of you wish.

    having low start up money would just make it slow going really...becuase once you start seeing sales it con become quite addictive and you'll want to keep adding products lol

    no, youll get more sales once your quality product has some reviews and your listing is hiohgly relevant to customer search terms..

    the course was ASM, and its open now so go take alook at the 4 videos straight away before they pull them down and see if it interests you

    anyway take alook and fire of some more questions

    @GoldCoastBound Do you find that you need to continually change products due to others copying and undercutting or is it possible to find solid products that just sell well and can be somewhat 'set and forget'? How active do you need to be rotating products?

    hi @Robbo03 ,
    no need to be rotating products but if you want to make more money, keep adding more products...you just need to be better than most re keywords and you will go well

    @GoldCoastBound I'm setting up an amazon account at the moment. How did you register to sell in the U.S? I'm unsure how to do that. It looks like good money can be made from having the business operate out of the U.S. while living in Australia.

    Cheers,

    Damien

    Hey @Jelicich,

    How did the Amazon set up go? Are you still involved? I decided against it.

    Hi @GoldCoastBound, I have come. Across this thread as I am researching into selling on Amazon. It's been a while since you posted all this amazingly helpful info; how are things with the business now?
    Also the link to the course you did doesn't work. Which course specifically was it? Or is there another course you recommend to use to get educated on how to get started?

    There are a number of courses but I like Reliable Education and bought the course two years ago. I only have one product live in the US but it is selling ok. I have found it pretty hard but if you are prepared to put in the effort you can do quite well. Also have to be able to rope a dope as you will make a few mistakes on the journey

    @GoldCoastBound I'm new here and just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear some genuine e-commerce success stories without someone trying to sell me a course.

    Any updates from people selling on Amazon?
    I'm still selling only one SKU but it is doing really well. In fact I have had my work cut out staying in stock. Many products I assess have a significant budget if sales were to take off.

    Also, I see in the news that Amazon are looking to develop a warehouse in Brisbane soon??
