We're into the the 4th quarter of 2021 which has been a crazy year!

There are so many issues we could cover, but here are a few highlights to note:

1. 2021 Amazon Expo Seller Boot Camp
2. 10% Off Amazon Images, Graphic Design and Product Videos
3. Amazon Payment Service Providers
4. Insurance for Amazon Sellers
5. Accounts and Bookkeeping

Amazon is hosting a 3 day online event from 11 - 13 Oct 2021. 

You can scroll through the images below to view the agenda and details.

I've been invited by Amazon to speak at the event.
​Check out the infographic image by Amazon in the 5th image below!​

I have used many Payment Service Providers (PSP) including Payoneer, WorldFirst, Wise (formerly TransferWise), OFX and most recently AirWallex; so I'm quite familiar with their pros and cons.

I stopped using Payoneer, WorldFirst and Wise for various reasons, which you can read about on my page about Amazon Payment Service Providers.

I have been using OFX since earlier this year and been happy with it. More recently I've started using Airwallex as they have some advantageous features that OFX lacks.

I'll be updating my PSP comparison page soon, but in the meantime, if you'd like to take advantage of a 0.3% FX spread with:

• SWIFT fees only with zero margin costs on USD to USD transfers (useful for paying your suppliers in USD from your Amazon payout balance)
• Fee free virtual Visa cards (available for Australian businesses and expected availability in early 2022 for Singapore)
• Payment processing for your website (currently available for WooCommerce and Magento) at lower fees compared to Stripe and PayPal.
• A special offer of $0 fees and 0% margin on your first $20,000 AUD in FX conversions (or equivalent)

You can find out more and register for AirWallex here.

Amazon.com has started enforcing the requirement for sellers who sell over USD10,000 a month to upload their Certificate of Insurance.

I have a page with more info and  links to 3 providers of insurance for Amazon sellers.

While many sellers might start out small, it is important to keep proper accounts. The tax authorities can conduct a random audit of anyone at any time, and if you have not done accurate and proper bookkeeping, this can lead to a lot of stress and headaches.

​As soon as possible, I would encourage you to use an accounting service.

Sleek is an official sponsors for the Amazon Expo. I use Sleek for my Singapore company compliance (tax computation, tax filing, AGM minutes and submission, etc.). Since I'm "stuck" overseas due to Covid-19, I also apprciate their mailroom service where I use their address as my company's registered and mailing address. Any mail I received is then scanned and available online in my Sleek account. You can find out more at Sleek.com.

Don't forget to get $100 off their fees by using referral code: REFEGMT

Here are some Amazon announcements in July.

1. End of Disbursements to Non-participating Payment Service Providers
2. FBA Liquidations
3. Amazon Seller Training Starts This Saturday & Sunday

Amazon has updated their Payment Service Provider (PSP) policy. From 15 July,  Amazon will stop payouts to non-participating PSPs.

You can refer to the policy update at (you will need to be logged into yourAmazon Seller Central Account):
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/headlines.html?id=GNFPP4ECHU38W3N2&ref=nslp_at_4_GNFPP4ECHU38W3N2_en-US_ttl_rf_recent_news_5

This will affect sellers who are currently using services that are not yet in Amazon's PSP program such as Wise (formerly TransferWise). Refer to this article on recommended Payment Service Providers to find out more about which ones to choose.

Before FBA Liquidations was introduced, the options were to create a removal order with the option of either:

• Disposal, or
• Return (to an address within the country where the inventory is stored with Amazon)

In both of the above cases, the seller would be charged a per unit fee to remove each unit.

With FBA Liquidations, Amazon will help to liquidate the inventory and then pay the seller an estimated 5% to 10% of the selling price of the product. While that does not seem much, at least it is recouping come cash, which is better than incurring additional removal costs.

Sadly, I've seen some clueless sellers who are stuck with large quantities of products that are not making sales. These are people who don't understand the fundamentals of successful online sales, and/or are victims of scammy gurus who taught them silly, risky nonsense.

These sellers would benefit from FBA liquidations. But it would have been much better if they understood how to do sensible research and analysis in order to select products with a high probability of success while minimizing risks, which is foundational to my Amazon training course.

If you sell on Amazon or are interested to sell on Amazon, here's some important news that you might want to take note of:

1. Changes to FBA fees
2. Fake incentivised Amazon reviews
3. Amazon Seller Training - weekend opportunity

First the boring but important stuff.

​Amazon usually revises referral and FBA fees every year in February. This year, the changes have bee delayed to June in view of the Covid-19 pandemic situation.

The main change in FBA fees is the removal of the additional 4 oz packaging weight that Amazon has always added to each item.

Understanding the FBA fees can help you in your product and packaging design. For example if a product with it's packaging is slightly over a size or weight tier, see if you are able to modify it to fall to a lower tier in order to lower your FBA fees per unit.

The new fee details can be found at:

• Amazon US FBA fee changes
• Amazon US Referral fee changes

Now something sensational!

​This article on Fake Reviews was published on 7 May 2021.

According to some industry experts, Amazon has taken action to suspend multiple seller accounts involved. Some of these with over $100 MILLION in annual sales revenue.

The moral of the story?

• Don't cheat by trying to get fake or incentivised reviews.
• Amazon takes the integrity of their review system seriously and  can suspend anyone, even huge 7, 8 and 9 figure sellers if they violate Amazon policies.
• Do not follow scammy gurus or use dodgy services who offer Amazon review manipulation services.
• Do things legitimately. Focus on the fundamentals of good keyword and product selection, and optimizing your funnel for impressions, clicks and conversions.

Finally, for those who interested in learning how to sell on Amazon with sound fundamentals, I am running the next batch on Sat-Sun, 22-23 May 2021.

The training consists of:

• 2 full days of small group training (maximum of 10 sign-ups)
• 4 one-to-one consultations
• Lifetime support via private Facebook group for training alumni and direct email/private messaging with me

I rarely hold the 2 full day portion on weekends, but due to several requests, this is one of the rare weekend training sessions.

If you'd like to find out more or sign up, please go to the Amazon Seller Live Training page.

 Here are several important updates that you might want to take action on:

1. Change in Amazon disbursements to 3rd party Payment Service Providers (PSP).
2. Recommended Payment Service Providers.
3. Insurance for Amazon sellers.
4. Amazon PPC.
5. Jason's personal Amazon seller training and coaching.

Have a great week!

Some important key points:

• Who needs to take note? Anyone who uses a Payment Service Provider (PSP) to receive your payouts from Amazon. If you receive direct bank deposits into your bank account, there is no difference, but if you are selling internationally, I would recommend using a PSP as the currency conversion rate can be many times lower than Amazon's 1.50%.
• TransferWise users especially need to know that it is currently not an Amazon PSP. This means that starting from 1st March 2021, bank account from TransferWise cannot be added to Seller Central. If you already have a TransferWise bank account saved as a deposit method in Seller Central, from 1st June 2021, your sales proceeds will be subject to a reserve hold by Amazon for up to 21 days before being disbursed.

For more details refer to this page that explains and compares the best ways to receive and transfer money from Amazon and to pay your suppliers.

The current payment providers I would recommend are OFX and WorldFirst.

• OFX contacted me last month to offer an unprecedented low rate of 0.3% to anyone who signs up through this link.
• OFX has the lowest currency conversion rate for most sellers at 0.3% (compared to 0.6% for WorldFirst and 1.50% for Amazon direct deposits).  This means that for transferring $100,000 in Amazon disbursements that involve currency conversion such as from USD to SGD or AUD, it would cost you $1,500 in fees if you used Amazon direct deposits into your bank account vs $300 if you used OFX, or $600 with WorldFirst. In reality, the potential forex gain with using a PSP is even better because you can hold a currency and convert when the exchange rate is in your favour. In addition, if you pay suppliers in USD, you can save on double conversion by having a USD balance and paying suppliers from that without converting back and forth.
• OFX and WorldFirst have pros and cons. OFX is best for transfer of funds that involve currency conversion due to the lowest rate. WorldFirst is better to pay suppliers because it charges a fixed USD15 fee for USD to USD transfers anywhere in the world vs 0.3% for OFX. TransferWise is actually much better for this, but since it is not an Amazon PSP, it is not feasible if you sell on Amazon.

You might have seen in forums that sellers are starting to get notifications from Amazon to provide proof of their Amazon compliant insurance policy.

Amazon has always required sellers to have Commercial General Liability insurance (CGL) if they meet the condition outlined below. However they have never enforced it... until about a month ago.

Amazon requires a seller to have CGL insurance if they meet the following conditions:

• Professional Seller Account
• Gross sales proceeds exceeding the threshold of the marketplace you are selling in for 3 consecutive months
• The threshold for the US marketplace is $10,000 US dollars

Amazon's main requirements for seller's insurance policy are:

• Commercial General Liability insurance with coverage of one million US dollars ($1,000,000) if the marketplace is the US.
• You must include Amazon as an additional insured. You policy must state that, "Amazon.com, Inc., its affiliates and assignees are additional insureds, as their interests may appear".

If you are incorporated in the US, it has been easy to get insurance that meets Amazon's requirements. However for sellers that sell internationally across borders, such as a Singapore or Australian entity selling in the US, it has been extremely difficult to find an insurer that will provide cover that includes Amazon, let alone one that can do it at an affordable premium.

​The good news is I have been working hard on a solution for sellers in Singapore and Australia and will co-hosting a webinar with 3 insurance companies who can provide insurance that meets Amazon's requirements for entities from the US, Singapore and Australia!

I will be co-hosting a webinar with the 3 insurers on 31st March 2021. I will be sharing the webinar details on my Facebook page and group. Stay tuned by following my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/jasontayonline and joining my free Facebook group, which is also a wealth of useful content.

Amazon PPC advertising is essential for scaling private labels. PPC is very powerful, but can seem overwhelmingly complex. It is also commonly underutilized or misused, resulting in poor sales and high costs. However if Amazon PPC is properly understood and implemented, it is one of the most cost effective ways of driving impressions, clicks and conversions; in other words it is one of the best ways to market your products cost-effectively.

After spending years self-learning and investing over USD6,000 to learn from some of the top PPC experts, I have found Ritu Java, founder of PPC Ninja, provides the best practical approach to Amazon PPC. Her strategy and the way she explains it is a combination of being powerful yet easy to use for both beginners and very advanced sellers who are selling 7, 8 or 10 figures a year.

​I've been in 2 masterminds with Ritu and hosted her for a couple of webinars that you can watch on my Amazon PPC page.

If you would like to get a solid practical understanding of Amazon PPC and how to implement PPC effectively, Ritu is conducting a very affordable 2 session workshop on 13 and 20 March 2021. You can find out more and register for it here.

Finally, if you are interested in no-nonsense, down-to-earth training to learn how to create and sell your own private label products on Amazon, I have opened up registration for my next intake. I've limited registration to a max of 12 people so that I can interact with everyone more effectively during the 2 full days of Zoom training on 18-19 March, and also to ensure I have time for the four 1-to-1 consultations with each participant.

I've reduced this from 15 to 12 because I enjoy teaching a smaller group. I'm even considering reducing the intake to just 8 or 10 people, so do check it out and register early if you are interested.

Do note that selling on Amazon should be treated as running a business or part of a serious business. Please do not sign up if you are expecting a get-rich-quick, easy-money scheme that some shady gurus make it out to be. This is for people who are serious about using the opportunity that the internet and Amazon provides to start and/or scale a physical product business and are willing to put in the time, effort and finances.

Couple of quick updates for January 2021. Here are 2 events happening this month that you might want to sign up for.

1. Amazon Southeast Asia Online Seller Summit 2021
2. Amazon Seller Live Training 18-19 January

Here's the official brief from Amazon:

​Based on the theme “Start Local, Go Global”, this event aims to bring together small and medium enterprises across Singapore. It involves a series of training workshops on trends and product selections, growth opportunities, and practical tips on how to start selling on Amazon. Attendees will get to hear directly from successful local sellers on their selling journey with Amazon. The second day of the summit is dedicated for attendees to have consultation with our Amazon account manager. Through this summit, Amazon Global Selling wishes to help SMEs in Singapore adapt to the changing landscape, and introduce their high-quality products to both local and global customers.

Registration to participate at: http://amzn.to/3nowjr7

I'm really excited about the upcoming 18-19 Jan training intake. I've spoken to a few of the participants and love their drive and attitude. They realise this is not an easy-money, get-rich-quick-scheme; avoiding scammy gurus selling shiny objects and  getting a solid foundation through good training with 1-to-1 consultations to help them start and/or scale their Amazon sales. 

I'm only taking in 10 people so we can really focus. We start Monday and there are only a few spaces left. You can find out more about the training or sign up by clicking the button below.

Another piece of exciting news... I've just been assigned a Strategic Account Manager (SAM) by Amazon. This is usually a paid service (USD1600 per month) for Amazon US seller accounts with significant sales and growth potential. I was approached by Amazon and offered it for free! During my selection interview, I asked them why I was chosen and the answer is that I have proven sales and good potential growth. I've had a couple of calls so far with my SAM and the plans and strategies she has planned to grow my sales have been very insightful. The info and strategies I learn from my SAM is something I look forward to sharing. 

In these trying times, many industries are struggling, with many lives and livelihoods affected.

As I walk around, it saddens me to see some of my favourite food stores have permanently closed as they have not been able to weather being shut during the past few months.

One of the few bright spots in this climate is e-commerce, which has accelerated tremendously.

For example, in developed markets, online retail sales as a percentage of total retail sales has been growing at about 1-2% annually. In the last quarter (March to June), this has accelerated by about 3 years worth of growth in 3 months!

One of my own e-commerce sites has seen sales grow steadily every single month from February to June 2020. With June sales 250% more than February sales.

With no sign of a return to normalcy in the near future and several countries now experiencing a 2nd wave of Covid-19 lockdowns, e-commerce will continue to grow as it becomes a necessity, and online shopping becomes a way of life.

We are also approaching the 4th quarter with numerous key shopping dates such as:

• Amazon Prime Day
• Black Friday
• Cyber Monday
• 11.11
• Christmas
• Post-Christmas

​25 August Update: Amazon just announced that Prime Day will be in Q4 and 25th September is the submission deadline for Prime Exclusive Discounts. ​ Based on Amazon's official Prime Day Promotion Guide for US page, Prime Day 2020 is likely to be somewhere between Oct 4th to Nov 3rd.

More info is in the box below.

The date for this year's Amazon Prime Day in the US has been pushed back due to Covid-19. It's usually sometime in July, but according to according to a CNBC report, it might be October 5, 2020. This has not been officially confirmed by Amazon.

Another clue is that Amazon has asked sellers to have all stock for Prime Day delivered by Aug 24th.

Amazon Global Selling has also sent out an invitation to register for a series of webinars (from Jul 20th to Aug 24th) for sellers to prepare for Prime Day 2020.  This message was sent out by an Amazon business development manager, "Hello all, as most of you are aware, prime day is coming! The global selling team has prepared a series of educational webinars to teach new sellers how to prepare and maximise your sales during prime day. Please register for the webinars here: http://bit.ly/agsprimeday2020."

Some of the key things to do as we head into the last quarter include:

1. Inventory Planning
2. Listing Optimization
3. Advertising Campaigns
4. Deals, Discounts, and Coupons

1. Inventory Planning
With the new maximum quantity limits imposed on FBA, things are a bit trickier compared to previous years.

For new listings, there is a 200 quantity limit. While for older listings, Amazon has calculates what they allow you to ship in for each product listing. You can check you maximum shipment quantity limits by going to Inventory > Inventory Planning > Restock Inventory, and clicking on the number of units  for each SKU.

If you are shipping in less than or equal to the shipment quantity limit, then you have no worries. But what if you plan to ship higher quantities due to supplier MOQs and/or to have economies of scale, especially for international shipping? Then you might want to consider using a 3rd party logistics (3PL) service to store your inventory in bulk, and then "drip-feed" Amazon by forwarding small quantities to FBA.

These are some 3PLs shared by Amazon. Please note that I have not contacted or worked with them, so I will not be able to recommend which ones are better. Please contact directly to find out more.

• WorldCraft Logistics (https://worldcraftlogistics.com/warehousequote/) For more information, please contact Jimmy Tran, General Manager at WorldCraft Logistics (jimmytran@worldcraftlogistics.com)
• Fulfillment.com. For more information, please contact Verushka Perez (vperez@fulfillment.com)
  
• 3ecommerce Inc (https://3commerceinc.com/). For more information, please contact Sam Yauner (sam@3commerceinc.com)
  
• Ezi Returns (https://www.ezireturns.com/fba-services). For more information, please contact Mark (info@ezireturns.com)
  

I am testing out one 3PL company now, but that is more for FBM rather than for drip-feeding to FBA. I might also be testing out a 3PL for storage and drip-feeding to Amazon for FBA. To be updated of these findings , follow my Facebook page and join my Facebook group as I always share new info there (Note: for your Facebook group Join Request to be approved, you must answer all the questions).

2. Listing Optimization
This is important for 2 main reasons.

Firstly, Impressions. The Amazon search algorithm reads your listing's copywriting to find and index keywords. These indexed keywords are then used by the Amazon search engine to match to search queries whenever a customers types in the Amazon search bar to find a product. Therefore it is the key first step and foundation for all online sales. 

On Amazon, the important fields for keyword search ranking are:

• Title (aka Product Name)
• "Backend" Keywords > Search Terms
• Product Description
• Bullet Points (aka Key Product Features)

Make sure you do your research and edit if needed to optimize for converting keyword phrases. I do this by:

• Analyzing advertising search terms reports to look for customer search terms that convert well and have low ACOS.
• Running Helium 10 Cerebro on my own listings (one by one) to identify keywords that I am ranking moderately well for, such as outside the top 10 but within the top 100. I then prioritize those according to search volume. Something I especially look out for is any keyword terms with high search volume (>1000)and are just outside of a page 1 position. If any of the keyword terms are not in my listing copywriting, I then add them once or twice in 1 or 2 of the 4 fields above as appropriate. If they are in my copywriting, but not in the title, AND meet the critera of high search volume and being just outside of page 1  (or outside the top 10 of page 1), then I might also add the keyword to the title so it carries more ranking weight.

The second reason for listing optimization is to convert better.

It is important to rank for as many good, relevant keywords as possible. It is also important that once a potential buyer sees your listing, they want to click on it and after looking at the content (reading the text and looking at the images and videos), they are convinced to buy.

The quality of your content will affect your click and conversion rate. Even a small improvement such as a better image with useful information that convinces 5% more people to buy makes difference, as it has a compounding effect on keyword ranks and therefore can increase impressions, and therefore clicks, and therefore conversions. You can learn more about this on my page about Increasing Amazon Sales - Traffic, Click-throughs and Conversions.

Part of improving conversion is to get Amazon Brand Registered so you can create A+ Content for your listings. I have seen some of my listings almost double in sales after adding A+ Content! Of course not everything will double. Some listings see a marginal 5%-10% increase immediately after adding A+ Content.  And of course you want to do good A+ Content, because bad A+ Content (such as numerous listings by sellers from China with horrendous, unreadable English) can be worse than no content!

3. Advertising Campaigns
Amazon's PPC Advertising functions are pretty complex, so it isn't practical to explain it in a post like this. I typically go through setting up and analyzing Amazon Ad Campaigns in one or two 1-to-1 sessions as part of my training course. 

For this post, my advice is to familiarise yourself with how Amazon's Advertising Console works as it can play a huge role in growing your sales  profitably and help you rank better organically if effectively used.

You miss out on a tremendous opportunities if you are not utilizing Amazon Advertising.

You also will waste a ton of money if you run Ads but don't know what you are doing.

4. Deal, Discounts, and Coupons
You'll want to run some kind of promotion during the Prime Day period, which has become a 1 week sale rather than a day.

You can also run perpetual coupon promotions and occasional deals to bump up your potential sales.

You can look at this page where I've explained why and how to setup Amazon coupons.

I would also register for the Amazon webinars share at the top of the page.

Finally, if you are interested in no-nonsense training in the important fundamentals to sell successfully on Amazon with low risk and no hype, have a look at my training page.

The Black Friday (29 Nov) and Cyber Monday (2 Dec) week is here again. If you've been sitting on the fence about paying for an online Amazon course and/or Amazon tools, this is the best time of the year to invest in them!

Not only are they on the biggest sale ever, it's also a good time of the year to invest in your business for the purpose of expenses to reduce your income tax for 2019.

I've been selling on Amazon since 2013 and have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt for many courses and tools. After having looked at, tried and tested many them, there is only a small handful of courses and tools that I would recommend.

These include:

1. Proven Amazon Course 2.0
2. Helium 10 + Freedom Ticket Course

The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) costs USD499, but for the next 24 hours, it's on sale at 60% off!

That's ONLY $200, which is a ridiculously low price for the value that it offers. This is the course that helped me get started and it continues to be frequently updated. I don't think PAC has ever had such a huge discount, so if you have been thinking of getting it, do it now before the sale ends. ​

I've been paying full price for Helium 10's Platinum tool suite for a couple of years and been more than happy. Since using Helium 10, I've unsubscribed from every other paid tool. While Helium 10 might seem a bit expensive, you have to realise that it is not just a tool, it is a suite of very practical and  powerful tools. In my opinion, it's the most powerful set of Amazon tools by a long shot. It's also comprehensive, which means you really don't need any other tools, especially if you're a private label seller.

Speaking of private label, Helium 10  ​now also includes the Freedom Ticket course. This course is by Kevin King who in my opinion is one of the true experts when it comes to creating and selling your own brands (aka private label) on Amazon. I consider myself a very advanced seller, but I always learn something new that I can implement in my own business whenever I listen to Kevin King.

For years the Freedom Ticket course was, and still is, priced at USD997. However this course is now INCLUDED in Helium 10 as part of the suite for free!

In other words, when you subscribe to Helium 10 now, you get up to 50% off 2 months AND the Freedom Ticket course. In my opinion, that is an incredible value.

The Helium 10 Black Friday sale is on from now till Cyber Monday. So don't wait too long to decide. And remember to use coupon code BFCM19 for the discount.

I have both, and if you asked me, I would say if budget permits, I would definitely get both, especially at these unprecedented Black Friday sale prices.

The reason is learning and growing your business never stops. Both PAC and Helium 10 are valuable resources that are constantly updated. This means you can continually refer to them, as I do, for many years as things change and your business develops.

But if you have to choose either, then base it on your own context.

If you are living in the US and are open to source products through varying methods such as:

1. Retail arbitrage from physical stores such as Walmart, Target, etc.
2. From local thrift stores
3. Buying wholesale from suppliers
4. Simple private label

Then the Proven Amazon Course is a fantastic resource. The new PPC module will be added to PAC soon too, which is great for private label sellers.

Even for non-US, international, cross-border sellers, the PAC is still very useful as the wholesale and private label modules are worth far more than the $200 price point! Imagine, taking action and launching just 1 simple private label product can easily earn you $200 profit many times over for many years! 

If your focus is on private label products, then Helium 10 with the Freedom Ticket Course is a great investment - especially together. That's because the Freedom Ticket course is specifically about private labeling and uses Helium 10 as the primary Amazon tool. So you get a trifecta of positives - the best set of Amazon tools, plus a great course, plus a relevant course that shows you how to use Helium 10 effectively.

For Helium 10 + Freedom Ticket, remember you MUST use coupon code BFCM19 during checkout.

My Amazon Seller Singapore Training focuses on private label as well. If you do intend to sign up for upcoming classes, please check out the details in the link.

For those who have gone through my training classes, you would know that I use and highly recommend Helium 10 as the only paid tool suite you need to use if you want to be really effective in your keyword research in order to find potential products that maximize your probability of success while minimising your risk without the need to order a huge amount of potentially unsellable products. We use the data from Helium 10's Cerebro and Magnet tools as a foundation during the 1-to-1 consultations as part of the training with me.

Therefore, the Black Friday sale is also a great opportunity to get Helium 10 at a fantastic discount and start familiarising yourself with the tools and how to sell on Amazon with the Freedom Ticket Course.

I'm away on holiday in the UK, but taking the time to post this because it's such a good deal for anyone interested in getting the Proven Amazon Course (PAC).

It's currently on sale at $100 USD  off the usual price! But for a few days only.

PAC is rarely on sale and this particular discount is huge. So if you want to get it, I suggest acting now before  the  promotion ends in a few days.

You can read my Proven Amazon Course Review for more info or click the button below to grab PAC now.

 A quick note if you are thinking about getting the Proven Amazon Course (PAC).

It's going to be on sale at only $299! That's $100 off!

This is very rare and I don't think it will ever be at such a low price ever again.

The flash sale starts on 16 November at 10.30am Eastern time (3.30pm GMT, 11.30pm Singapore) and will be for a very limited time only (the sale ended on 2 December, 2017). So if you've been thinking about investing in PAC, make sure you grab it during this sale window.

Click here to get the Proven Amazon Course on sale.

Some tips/considerations:

1. The price will be increasing  to over $400 in 2018.
2. Proven Growth Workshop videos from the May 2017 workshop have been added to PAC. See the website for details: https://provengrowthworkshop.com/ This is a HUGE value-add to PAC. Attendees paid thousands to attend and the recordings are sold at $899. But when you invest $299 for PAC, you get the videos included!
3. Look at my Proven Amazon Course Review and Comparison of Amazon Selling Courses.
4. Once you get PAC, the key is to look at just the modules that are relevant to you. PAC has over 50 modules that comprehensively cover Amazon selling strategies/methods. This is great but some people might feel overwhelmed. My suggestion for newbies is to go through the first 2 sections to get started, then zoom in on strategies that you are interested in, such as Proven Private Label 2.0. Put that in to action, then look at the other modules to scale and increase your sales.
5. Finally, this is on hindsight from buying PAC 4 years ago in Oct 2013. I bought PAC because of the 100% lifetime moneyback guarantee. My advice? Hang on to PAC like it's a precious jewel or good vintage wine whose value increases with time. I think about 10%-15% of people who buy PAC ask for a refund. I can ask for a refund anytime too, but that would be a really bad business decision or I would have to be absolutely crazy. Why? Because the online marketplace is always changing and PAC is constantly updated with powerful, proven, practical strategies. I have tweaked my sales many times by applying nuggets from the PAC updates throughout the last four years. These tweaks have increased my profits by a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars each. Examples include the reimbursement guide (over $10,000 in cash paid back to me by Amazon for reimbursements owed), numerous tips from the CES conference videos and other workshops, the new improved Proven Private Label 2.0 module (which in the last month has helped me find over 100 potential private label products). The Proven Performance Inventory module (Amazon product selection, listing and advertising optimization that has helped boost existing product sales and successfully find and launch new products).

2. The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) 

There is lots of free info online and not everyone needs to get a course.
Even fewer people require coaching. The real value of PAC is that it's the
most affordable and comprehensive collection of tried and tested strategies
that work in real life for selling on Amazon successfully with minimum
risk. Having PAC as a go to resource enables you to save time and filter
through the loads of junk info that's online.

I bought PAC in late 2013 and have repeatedly said my ROI for PAC has been
worth much, much more than my investment in a "useless" Master's degree.

The PAC price will increase significantly at 11.59pm on 2 August (that's
today). My guess is it will go up by $50 to $200. 

So if you're thinking about whether to buy PAC, I would recommend ordering
it before the clock strikes twelve before the price increases. The good
thing is PAC comes with a 100% lifetime money back guarantee, so you can
buy it now to lock in the lower price. Then if you go through it and find
it is not helpful, you can always get your money back whether 1 month, 1
year or many years later.

contents at my Proven Amazon Course Review page.
