The “Three Rules” are the best way to helping (roughly) measure profit
1. Assume Amazon will take 33% of every sale
✓ This is for fulfillment fees and commission
2. 33% is the cost of your product
✓ This cost is for manufacturing and shipping logistics
3. 33% is your profit
✓ This is money you didn’t have yesterday!
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻:
The amount of money you make after all costs of production and selling are considered
✓ For example, if you sell the product for Rs.1500, it costs Rs.500 to produce your product, Rs.500 in Amazon fulfillment fees, and your profit margin is Rs.500 (33%)
✓ Don’t get too emotionally attached to your product
✓ A good product is just a good product if it sells
✓ Give your new product about half year to reach your target profit before turning to something new
✓ Less is more. Keep your product library relatively low (10-20 products total)
✓ Remember, 80/20. Often 20% of your product selection is making up 80% of your profits
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 Amazon 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
✓ Your listing is your flyer; your chance to make a great first impression with customers
✓ Public-facing components:
· Images
· Title
· Bullet Points
· Description
· Video
· A+ / PPC content
✓ There are likewise in the background parts to your listing (Only visible to search processes) which will help you rank
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰:
✓ Traffic: the buyers that visit your product listing on Amazon
· The most ideal way to generate traffic is by utilizing specific keywords in your listing, specific Amazon ad programs, and knowing how to send outside traffic (from off-Amazon) to your listing
✓ “Reviews are the cash of Amazon”
· Most Amazon buyers end up purchasing the products with the most reviews (and most positive reviews)
✓ Amazon keyword research is key to ranking at the top of Page 1 Amazon search results
✓ Keys to drive traffic
· Keyword demand – This is where you will find out product opportunity
· Profits – Aim for 20%
· Relative rank: Which keywords do you rank for relative to your competition?
✓ ROI – Return on investment
· If you getting 150% ROI, its’ mean you’re putting Rs.1000 and getting back Rs.1500
· 150% ROI is a good target to aim for
✓ Cash flow management
· Managing when you need to buy more inventories, invest in advertising, etc.
