Three free reports for Amazon FBA sellers

By Peter Valley 4 Comments

3 new mini-guides answering some of the biggest questions facing new (and not new) Fulfillment by Amazon sellers.

This is long-overdue: I wrote three free guides – Two covering the basics for a couple of HUGE impediments FBA sellers face, and a third with a few cool tricks to make more money.

When you talk to enough Amazon sellers, you start to notice patterns in the questions that come up. Most questions are simple and answered in one sentence (ex: “What’s the best way to ship books to Amazon?” My answer: “Put them in a box and tape it shut”).

Some are more complex.

So I wrote two quick guides to the biggest questions Amazon sellers face: How to get started, and how to price FBA inventory (specifically books).

And just for fun (and profit), I wrote a third – “Profit Hacks” – covering a few tricks to get more money for your books & media on Amazon (some I’ve talked about before, some I haven’t).

If you’ve been with me for awhile…

You’ve probably heard most of this before. The first two guides – FBA Quickstart Guide, and Pricing for Maximum Profits – are intended for people who are new to Fulfillment by Amazon.

The third guide – Profit Hacks – has a few tricks – some new material, some familiar. Even if you’ve been reading FBA Mastery for a while, you might learn something new with this one.

A rundown of the free reports

FBA Quickstart Guide: One of the biggest obstacles for new FBA sellers is overwhelm. It can be hard to visualize the steps to get from nothing to that first sale on Amazon. This guide breaks down the 9 steps to get to that first sale. No great detail here – Just a rapid-fire breakdown of how to get started with Fulfillment by Amazon.

FBA Pricing Strategy for Maximum Profits: With Fulfillment by Amazon, there’s as much money in what you sell as how you price it. Pricing might be where sellers lose more money than any other single thing. In this guide, I go into numerous common pricing scenarios you will encounter as an Amazon seller, how I would price an item in a particular situation, and why.

Profit Hacks – 5 tricks to make more money from your books & media that you may not have heard before: In this guide, I go into 5 tricks that don’t fit anywhere else. A couple I’ve talked about before, and a couple I haven’t.

And not new, but worth mentioning again…

10 Overlooked Book Sources: If you don’t have this one already, I cover 10 sources of cheap used books to resell on Amazon – places your competition probably isn’t going.

Pretty easy: Click on the one you want, enter your email, and a link will be emailed to you. And if you want more than one (or all) of these, in that email I’ll include links to all four reports – no need to do it again.

    As usual, great free content Peter.

    Having just started reselling myself a few months ago, I do have a question I haven’t seen a clear answer for yet. Say you find a solid $7.95 FBA book at a thrift store that’s a decent enough sales rank, and after sitting in the warehouse a few months, you go through repricing your inventory and see that it’s now flooded with ~$4 FBA offers.

    So at this point, you’re just looking to break even or at least minimize the damage – what do you do? I assume it’s not a good idea to leave it at $6 or $7 forever to try to eke out a profit, because it just won’t ever sell. Is it better to match those low FBA offers, or just have Amazon remove and destroy them and take the loss?

    Thanks!

      Good question. If there are several lowball offers, I’ll consider matching them and cutting my losses. Usually I’ll try to wait it out, but sometimes the supply of lowball offers exceeds demand and there’s no coming back.

    5000 unit STORAGE LIMITS

    This was touched on in a blog comment a while back. Don’t think its covered in the latest guides?

    I’m beginning to this is more of serious problem for book sellers trying the ‘long-tail’ strategy. I did amazon selling a while back but have only just re-started with FBA. I have sent in a measly 250 books. I noticed that because some items are board games and larger books that has actually used up 289 units of my 5000 allowance already.

    I had naively assumed that this storage limit was just something you started with that was quickly increased as you did sales. Now I realize its not that easy. If i keep going with any momentum i’m going to be hitting that 5000 wall before too long.

    I think this does need addressing. I had grand plans to eventually get those social sourcing contacts up and running and hire a couple of people to get thousands of long-tail books into FBA. But now there’s quite a bit of doubt over that.

    Have I got something wrong here? It seems that with the long tail approach you’re quite likely to have less than the required 8% of total inventory selling.

      It’s going to be hard for sellers who have been selling for awhile to comment (myself included), because Amazon is constantly changing things with the limits. Once they lift the limit, they never impose it again, so the answer would seem to be to make your first shipments books that will turn over fast.
