TAS 010 : How I made $20K Profit in 2 months wholesaling – understanding the Buy Box
In the episode I explain how the all-important buy box works – critical if you’re wholesaling on Amazon… Not so important if you’re private labeling.
I also throw in a case study on how I made a fast $20K (it’s actually more, a lot more over the course of 2017 – but there was a big ‘burst’ March and April this year) – and the way I’ve made this cash is by understanding the buy box.
I also throw in a little-known tip – how to use Jungle Scout’s web app to find buy box, wholesale opportunities – fast.

How to encourage customers who have left positive seller feedback to leave a product review!
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I try and convert seller reviews to all-important product reviews.
Getting reviews is harder and harder on Amazon. The technique I show you can sometimes be used to eeek out every precious review your products deserve.
I also show you how to remove negative seller review feedback… (useful if you’re using FBA).
Here’s the file I use to encourage customers to leave a product review in the video: Seller feedback to Product review template
TAS 009 : How Mike Allsop has built a successful Amazon business from Noosa sourcing from India
A fun interview this week with Mike Allsop who has been successfully selling on Amazon for about 18 months.
He shares his experiences from how he salvaged success from a failed first product, through to how he’s dealing with Chinese factories directly competing him and their other customers on Amazon.
He shares his unique product launch strategies involving competitions, and how he’s quickly built an email ‘launch-list’ with over 10,000 people. Seriously clever stuff.
Mike’s an all-round great guy and this episode is definitely worth a listen!

How to get reviews on Amazon Australia – Fast!
There’s going to be a land grab for rankings and reviews as soon as Amazon opens its doors tomorrow (Friday 24th November 2017).
I thought I’d try and film a short video on how to manually request reviews from customers, given that there are no automated customer follow-up services like Jumpsend.com, Feedback Genius.com, Salesbacker.com, or feedbackz.com (EU) in Australia – YET!
Hope this helps!
The wacky review template I used in the video can be downloaded from this link (.txt): Amazon Australia review template – free for you to modify etc…

Amazon Australia Launch
Amazon sent an email to hundreds of Australian sellers yesterday (including me) to get ready for a ‘soft launch’ on Thursday
I reckon they’ll be up throughout the day and night, bug fixing in time for Friday’s hard launch!
My buddy Scott Kilmartin has been engaged by Amazon to sell Ice Creams at Southern Cross Station in Melbourne as part of the launch (Amazon specified they wanted orange and white Ice Creams!).
Cute.
What will Amazon be selling when they open?
Well, we know they have some listings (unavailable) on Amazon at the moment for Batteries, toys, headphones, underwear and a bunch of other product categories – but whether the range is massive, out of the box remains to be seen.
Personally I don’t believe they’ll have a massive range to begin with. They can’t. They simply don’t have enough 3rd Party sellers on the platform yet.
In terms of opening up the Amazon Australia marketplace to 3rd Party sellers, it’s been a bit hit and miss who’s been invited/allowed access after signing up. I signed up 5 months ago but only last week was sent an email granting access.
Other folks have been waiting longer and have heard nothing.
It won’t take too long though and Amazon will open the marketplace up properly like in other countries. Then it’ll get interesting.
Given that 3rd Party Marketplace sellers make up the bulk of sales in other Amazon marketplaces, it’s an urgent strategy that Amazon needs to roll out as fast as possible.
I also expect that pretty soon, Amazon’s going to be saturating TV’s, Radio and online with ‘Join Prime Ads’, encouraging Australians to sign up, but not straight away…
If it can open up the marketplace allowing 3rd Party Sellers to increase the width and breadth of products, it’ll be much easier to convince Australians to sign up for Prime Membership…
