"How Much Does It Take to Get Started Selling On Amazon's FBA Program"

In the course of my day, I am often asked how much it takes to get started as an Amazon Private Label seller and how much money can you make.

Let me tell you the real answer, it depends…

In the words of Mr Einstein, it’s relative.

It’s relative because it depends on how much money you want to make and what your life goals are.

There are many people out there who tell you that you can make a gazillion dollars in a very short time by simply selling Amazon private label products.

Can you, yes.  I have met several people selling Amazon products that seem to make more each month than the GNP of all the Caribbean countries combined.

Are you likely to?  Probably not.  
The people who are making $50,000 plus each month started out with large email lists or huge facebook pages of people who they could call on to buy their product.  Not to mention massive advertising budgets to run seemingly endless ads.

Their initial inventory purchases were maybe $50-100,000 plus. 

I think it’s hard for most people to relate to that.  

But deep down you want to believe that you can do that and you’re so thirsty you want to drink the metaphorical Kool-Aid.  (If you’re under thirty and have no clue what that reference means, just google Jim Jones, Guyana)

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer here, but if you’re one of the small percentage of people who are capable of doing this, you’re probably not reading this article.

But what if you want to make a little extra each month?  To pay the mortgage, the car payments or take a decent vacation. Maybe even help pay for the kids college?
Is that possible?  Absolutely!  Is it probable?  Imagine in the best Fargo, North Dakota accent you’ve ever heard….YOU BETCHA.

Possible to make $1000 a month, $3000, $5000?  Enough to eventually quit your job?

Yes and it’s very doable.  I have met 100’s of people who do that.  

They are no different than you or me.  When they started they had no email list or facebook page.  Their inventory budgets and advertising budgets were nominal.

But the beauty is that after they learned, they simply scaled up their business to whatever point they wanted.

OK, Warren this is more what I am interested in doing.  
So what’s the skinny?  Tell Tom Cruise to show me the money…

This is how I started and is fairly typical.

My first product was a whopping $400.  That included shipping from China.

The item was $1.60 w/shipping and I got 250 pieces.

By month 1, I had paid off all the inventory.  By month 3, I was making $1000 a month in profit.  Still do to this day off that one product.

Of course I reorder when needed.  But for me, that $400 has turned into $1000 a month profit or $12,000 a year.  All passive, recurring income.

I now have other products, but that was what I got on just $400

Your initial inventory may be more, but there are thousands of different items available to get started for less than $1000

If you learn how to do this with one product, you can do it with 3, with 5 products.  When you do work once and continue to get paid, you can always scale your business.

So is it realistically possible to make 3 grand a month, yes.  5 grand…yes again.

You do have to get started and yes you do have to work.  Will there be times you’ll be nervous?  Of course.

BTW, let me let you in on a little secret.  Everybody gets scared and nervous.  You just have to have to confidence, confidence from knowledge to be able to manage those emotions so you can move forward.

Will people tell you you’re crazy.  Probably.  These are the same people who have never owned a business and go to work everyday as employees to a job they probably don’t like and feel they can advise you on starting a business.  Yeah right! 

Really???

The irony there speaks volumes…

But Warren, I was born under an unfortunate star…I’m the one person who it won’t work for….I’m different than everyone else. I’m not Irish, I have no luck.  I saw black cat yesterday.

Blah, Blah, Blah……

The worse case scenario for the pessimists among you….

Would a loss of a few hundred dollars ruin your life?  Really???….that kind of thinking is what’s killing you.  I’m getting irritated just typing it.

Should you start selling on Amazon?  Don’t know.  That’s for you to decide.  But at least now you know what to it might cost and some realistic income potential.
