How to Make Money Using Amazon FBA?

So you are finding a great way to make money? With the presence of technology and the internet, the opportunities have been increased. Earlier, marketing used to be a bit tough. The presence of the internet made brought the new concept of online marketing or digital marketing.

In simple terms, digital marketing means the activity of selling a product or service online. There are so many ways to make money online. Among different ways, Amazon FBA is one of the best ones. Amazon FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) is a great way in which you do not have to stress about delivering the product and providing shipment services to the customers. Instead of that, Amazon does that for you by charging some fees.

In this post, I have shared the process of how you can make money with the help of Amazon FBA. Here are the steps:

1. Understand the process

If you are a newbie and you have never heard about Amazon FBA before, it is essential to get your basics clear first. In Amazon FBA, you first get the products, ship them to Amazon Fulfillment Centers, and wait for it to be sold. The good thing is after shipping those products to Amazon Fulfillment Centers, you do not have to worry about delivering or shipping the products when you get any order. Amazon takes care of all that on your behalf. Talking about payment, you get paid every two weeks.

2. Create a seller account

The next step comes in the process is creating the Amazon seller account. Before setting up the seller account, you have to go through market research, niche selection, and product selection. These three are very important. You need to make sure the niche you are selecting is not so competitive and it has potential. By going with a highly competitive niche, it would be difficult to stand out from others. And, before creating a seller account, you need to decide whether you want to create an individual Amazon seller account or Professional Amazon seller account.

3. Read Amazon FBA Policies & Requirements

The mistake many newbie sellers often make is they get started with Amazon FBA without understanding the Amazon FBA policies and requirements. There you will find information for restricted products, reimbursement policies, etc.

4. Acquire products to sell

There are so many ways to get products to sell. Depending on the products you want to sell on Amazon, you need to find out the wholesalers. After selecting the right product, you can approach to the wholesaler and purchase the product in bulk. Make sure the product you choose is of high quality. With poor quality products, you will get bad feedback and ratings from your customers.

If you are facing difficulty finding the right products to sell on this marketplace, you can get an idea by checking out the products of Amazon Best Sellers within your niche.

5. Use Amazon Revenue Calculator

Pricing plays a crucial role in any business. You need to make sure the price you set for your product is not too high or not too less. Setting the too high price of the product won’t drive you any sales and setting too less price of the product will ruin your profit margin. Amazon has its revenue calculator which provides the fulfillment costs and allows us to see real-time cost comparison.

6. Plan for returned or damaged items

It is also very essential to have a plan for the returned or damaged products. After you ship the box to Amazon, you have no control over what happens to your items. Amazon provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee to its customers. This is the reason you can expect some returns. You can expect somewhere between 3 to 5% of the total items will come back, with no condition to be resold. So make sure to consider this before pricing your products.

7. Keep adding items to your store

Now after you start getting orders on your Amazon store, you need to make sure you keep adding new items. The more items you will add to your store, the more revenue you can generate. You need to reinvest the same amount of money in your Amazon business, to keep it growing. Send approximately one or two boxes per month to Amazon to keep adding new items and keep money coming in.

Amazon FBA is a great online business model right now. If you are planning to start an online business, Amazon FBA could be great for you. The great thing about this business model is you do not have to worry about shipping or delivering the items, Amazon does that on your behalf.
