TAS 026 : From Backpacking in Australia to a $350K exit in 18 months – How falling in love led Leon to Amazon.

By Chris on May 17, 2018

On today’s show, Leon shares his story about backpacking around Australia as a young German tourist, falling in love with a local girl, but then had to head back to Germany before returning back again to be with his girlfriend.

Leon needed to build a location independent business he could run from anywhere in the world and settled on Amazon. He grew rapidly throughout Amazon Europe and after 18 months is about to exit his Amazon business for $350,000.

Not a bad result for 18 months work!

Did I mention Leon is in his early 20’s?

Hope you enjoy Leon’s story.

Here’s Leon’s new venture www.men-of-tomorrow.com

TAS 007 : My 3 Epic Amazon Product Fails – Find out what they were and why they failed!

By Chris on November 14, 2017

In this episode I share 3 Private Label product ‘fails’ with you; you’ll learn exactly what they were and what went wrong. Not everything is ‘sunshine, puppy dogs and rainbows’ when selling on Amazon!

I hope this episode might help you so that you don’t make the same mistakes I did!

So the first 2 are dead-ducks at this stage. The last one is still in play, but now we’re going on a wholesale model, fighting for the buy box against a few other sellers, including Amazon! (I’m ignoring my usual advice: “Do not compete with Amazon for the buy box!” – but, as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures…)

Product Number 1: The crazy oversized A-Frame Chalkboard

Product Number 2: The wacky dog fetching machine

Product Number 3: The Cat Laser toy part one and how we’re listing with Amazon, part 2… to try and sell through the inventory.

Don’t forget to check out our new service www.Amaznsales.com if you need help getting your company set up on Amazon.com or in Europe.

If you’re an existing or curious Amazon seller (in Melbourne), be sure to join the Melbourne Amazon FBA Meetup group next Thursday evening to the Flippa offices in Collingwood and say hi.

Amazon gearing up for Black Friday Australia Launch

By Chris on November 6, 2017

Well, it’s sort of ‘official’ but not really.

Press reports over the last day or 2 are indicating that Amazon will be opening its doors to the public around the 24th of November 2017 to capture the Black Friday sales event. Black Friday is huge in the United States, as is the Monday that follows, ‘Cyber Monday’.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday tend to really kick things into gear for Christmas.

Anyone who’s been selling on Amazon for a year or 2, knows that when Black Friday starts, it’s on for young and old all the way up until Amazon FBA’s delivery cut-off around the 22nd of December when they’re no longer able to guarantee 2 day Prime delivery.

Amazon’s new warehouse Employees were greeted with this sign a few days ago outside the Dandenong Warehouse …
