The most underrated RU-vid channel in this space.

The fact that your manufacturer is in the U.S. is another great reason to admire your work and follow your advice carefully. Thank you!

The very first time I've heard the name Travis was when watching Blake's 7 movie in the '80. And that Travis in the movie was a very smart guy. He was saying little but always on point and wise. Travis in this video is talking a lot but still saying a lot, on point and wise. No BS as majority of others, no house tours, no car shows, no sweet talk. It's someone to trust to, in my opinion. And I usually don't trust people, even less on RU-vid.

I'm still in my beginning stages of researching all of this. But so far the hardest part for me is figuring out how to (through Alibaba) move my product from a 'Private Label" to a 'Passion Product'. Specifically with clothing, most manufacturers that I can see have limited fabric patterns. I want unique patterns to be my niche. I appreciate you sharing all your knowledge.

For the first time i find the real person from whom i can learn about amazon fba business.you are the best.

I appreciate you sharing and teaching others how you created a product you care about. It's hard to find people talking about selling products they are actually passionate about!

My 1st doable idea, and you’re the 1st video I landed in! It’s me and you! This is the core of my business launch! Thank youuuu! Enjoy the journey

so much incredibly helpful content in 26 minutes, thanks! to answer your question in the middle, my hardest part has always been step 0, ie. being doubtful about legal requirements / setting up an actual company / having a tax lawyer ....BEFORE i go and search for that product. If you could make a video about that, that would be amazing^^ (starting a yt channel seems less scary for now, which is why I'm starting with that first :D )

This is the single best video about how to start up.

Nice vid! Would love to see a video on shipping into the Amazon warehouse.

Thats for being real. First adviser i see that actually has a product. :D

finally in this week i find a usefull video in RU-vid about fba thanks

This was by far the most thorough video I've seen on commercializing a product, thank you! I am enjoying the process so far, however finding the right manufacturer has been the biggest obstacle for me. You gave the most sufficient information and tools for me to utilize to attempt to overcome this hurdle. So, I am appreciative and will subscribe to your channel for more videos and tips for sure!

Everybody clap your hands for Mr hustle 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯

Oh Travis I’m gutted I paid 3k on a silly course back in June where although the course helps a lot to understand the process of selling on Amazon etc they still do not talk much about avoiding mistakes and they are all about private labels which does seem saturated. I actually find you so much more approachable and willing to help others. I wished I would have seen your videos before as I would have much preferred joining your course.

And my biggest challenge is to build a community and engage with them, I'm kinda on the introvert side and also got really nervous when talking to people, even in front of a camera. Everything you say is very organized but also spontaneous and genuine. It's almost like a natural talent but I know you didn't get there in one day. I'm actually wondering if you list out your talking point and just run with it or write out some sort of script before shooting the video.

Finally, I found what I was looking for:)))) Thank you!

Thank you. For me, the hardest part is case production for my electrical products

very valuable information. i recently started but i am having difficulty with getting the product at amazon warehouse

Great video! The hardest part for me is actually coming up with a product to sell. I’m new to all of this so I just don’t know where to start.

RU-vid goldmine award 🏆

I'm a new entrepreneur and this video helped me a lot. in my case my invention is a 2inches disc for quilling craft tool, after i just did one from a recycle plastic and post a video on tiktok an went viral i am thinking to manufacter my disc. i need a guide to start from zero but i honestly dont knot where to start and if my budget will be enough. Also how to start with amazon? I really have so many questions and a big produt potencial that it does not exist yet and i created it already. Advices are more than welcome. Thanks.

Great information on finding suppliers. Thanks Travis.

How to make sure that the manufacturer doesn't steal my idea? (without complicated patents).

Subscribed! I've wanted to learn all this since I was 20 yrs old but I was broke. Now Im 40 and have enough $ to actually do it.

Thanks for the very informative explanation. How do you protect your unique product from being sold by the manufacturer to other buyers?

Thanks for the great video, Could you please also make a video on how to send products to Amazon including information when we ask manufacturers to send our products directly to FBA ?

You are right - the interviewer interrupts. And why stop - let the man talk. Good for the inventor. What else did he invent?

Great video, now I have a lot less quiestions about manufacturing. I'm already part of the community!

i think your content is amazing seriously you have to promote that more than a private course and instead of promoting the course promote coaching for people who still want someone to take their hand i think you will have a bigger success than selling a course (i am sure it's very relevant but internet is so crowded with ''take my course'' ads. but i am really glad i discovered your chaneel a few weeks ago you should be more visibla than that big up bro

One hard thing is when making a new product getting a patent. I know a lot of people don’t, but if you get a patent then you don’t have to worry about the big box stores or amazon just doing what you did. Making your nut butter maybe just better off keeping the recipe a secret like KFC and others have done, but other products probably would do better with a patent.

Travis you are the best, I came across to your channel and I am in love with your content, I have great ideas to create my own product and I didn't know how to start, I might need a personal consult with you.. Thanks for sharing such a valuable information..

Great transparency and information, definitely much value in this video.

Hy Travis, I find your video very helpful, but what I wanted to hear is the topic "patents checking" NDA with manufactureres in Alibaba ? How to do assure ther after you designed your logo brand, they will not selling the ideea to their bigger clients? I think this will be very interesting to approach in your videos. Keep it up with the good videos and infos.

Seriously this is helpful!

You sound so much like Clint reptiles! It’s endearing

Thank you for a great video and tips to go in the entrepreneurial business

Great video. Very educational. Thanks for sharing

Perfect example of why the adoption of crypto would eliminate these money transfer nightmares.

Here are some little tips when approaching manufacturers on Alibaba. Make sure the seller has trade assurance, is been on Alibaba for more than 2 years, 60 percent response rate and it's a plus if has 3 gems. I do provide a walk through from sourcing a product to logistics if anyone is interested.

in my case the biggest difficulty was understanding manufacture’s mind set. and there point of view on making profit and so on..

My hardest part in starting a business is getting customers!!!!!

Another great informative video. Thanks Travis.

Hi Travis, Thanks a lot for your informative videos. I started watching your videos since two weeks ago and I learned a lot about how to create a passion product (instead of private labeling or wholesales) and how to use amazon or/and shopify/woocommerce to sell the product. 1- first question about how we can ship products to Amazon warehouse in US from a foreign country (for instance Morocco)? 2- for foods par exemple, what's the legal process to export food products to US (and world wide markets if you have an idea)? 3- is it a good idea to work with locals cooperatives instead of industrial manufacturer? Thanks in advance for your answers.

You are the best thanks you a lot

Great info thank you

Thanks Travis, this is very helpful. I was wondering, do you patent your products before beginning this process? How important would you say it is to get this done before sharing details with manufacturers?

the hardest part of starting my business so far is the tech stuff. I'm not real computer savvy.

Hey Travis, great video. Wish I would have seen this before I had my logo designed. I went with Fiverr ,and wasn't too pleased. Wish I would have done 99designs.

Hi Travis thank you for the video, it was very helpful. I'm currently facing the most challenging part of my journey, which involves finding a suitable manufacturer for my product. I'm feeling stuck about how to locate the right manufacturing partner

Plzz make a vidio. On how to sent products to warehouses tooo

Great video, Travis! 🚀 Looking forward to working with you 🔥

Im 11 years old making a cleaning product

Love the honesty. Refreshing!

Thank you amazing video... Now my question is just to make sure I have got this right... Are you suggesting find the right supplier for your product BEFORE the branding then spend time creating the branding. My ponder is... Is it easy to maintain the original quote per unit including ALL the BRANDING... After spending say up to two months having the branding created... Then re_approaching the supplier again maintaining the same quote... Hope that makes sense... Thanks for your time awesome channel.

Travis, did you make a video for how to send our package to the warehouse? I can't wait to learn.

hi travis, please make a video about shipping goods to amazon

Very Good vid!! Well explained.

getting the money money capital to start.

Excellent Vid! a lot of golden nuggets

Hi Travis. Can you shed some light on how to protect your product from being copied by the Chinese manufacturers? I have a US provisional patent for my invention and want to be sure that I protect the IP before attempting to send inquiries on manufacturing it.

sooooo informative

very good video

Hi Travis, new sub here. Found you via your girlfriend's RU-vid channel. So happy for her success. Thanks for all the info. Please share the link for 99 designs.

Thanks! A lot of useful information!

excellent content, could you make a video on how to find source and find manufacturers in countries like india nepal etc etc away from china ?

Can you please make a make a video " how to price your product " ? As a beginner , it's a bit difficult to forecast your marketing and advertising cost . Secondly, if someone is dealing in fitness supplements and want to source products from China , do you need approval and certain number of certification to be able to sell the product in America . I would highly appreciate if you can enlighten me on this . Thank you so much

yes can you do video about the shipment, not only in the USA but also in Germany

Travis can you do a video where you try to find a product alibaba and differentiate

Thank u would love to learn with u

I’m just starting out in life and am wondering, what is the best way I can get money to actually start manufacturing my first product? What’s the best route I can take to make decent money fast? Is there a way I can manufacture a product for free? Are there products that are cheap enough to fund with a minimum wage job?

Great vid! One question I need advice on is who actually owns the product when having it developed by a manufacturer. Using your product as an example, is the recipe owned by you or them? If you own it then what did you need to pay to ensure ownership and if you're just renting the recipe then how did you go about ensuring manufacturer costs do not increase? A little bit of info here would be greatly appreciated.

When finding a potential manufacturer what steps would you recommend taking to protect a new product idea?

Hi Travis, awesome info. Have you got any tips on planning/forecasting the inventory? Or predictions on sales? Thank you :)

When looking to sell a consumable product is it better to look for one in the USA or China in your opinion

Make Amazon great again!

Chief operations officer! 😆

is it possible to just send an idea to the manufacturer your have choose to make your product without being afraid that he may just take it as his own creation? I also don't want to look like a total beginner. I would look at your way of "loosing" $15,000 dollars as an investment or lesson if it turns out to be a mistake. I make no mistakes, either I am going to make it or it may become a lesson. Thank you for the insight

Hi Travis. Really enjoying your content on this channel! What are your thoughts on using a sourcing agent ? Especially if looking to manufacture overseas..

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH THIS IS GREAT INFO!

Very helpful video. Concise and full of helpful info. Do you ever get your manufacturer's to sign a contract agreeing to your terms?

Hi Travis. Thanks for the video, super helpful. Is it possible to have the manufacturer ship the product strait to Amazon without ever having to handle it yourself? -Griffin

Thank you for such great free information! Question for you, once I order the quantity needed for my product from the manufacturer, do I have to keep the inventory at my home? Can I have the inventory shipped to Amazon's warehouse directly?

So after success connecting with manufacturers. how would you control manufacturing multiple Products at once without stress?

Hi, I would like to let you know that your video was really helpful. I was really overwhelmed regarding the the whole shipment process from the supplier to the Amazonware house you this video and the next one really helped me. Issaw the second one first, lol. Anyway, I am planning to watch your other videos as well. THanks a lot. Also, could you please share your Facebook group's name that you mentioned in your video?

Those are really some solid info!

TY!!!

Great video ,If I make my own product so I’m thinking about the packaging which would be a sealable 1 gal bucket and a label.should I look for someone locally that could get both items?And if I package it myself could I ship the finished product to Amazon to be sold?

Hi Travis, Thanks so much for your videos. You are great and informative. Before I create a passion product, I want to run some numbers. The distribution would be FBA. My question is, what FBA calculator would you use? The one Amazon has for free is not great. Do you have a better suggesion. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this amazing video! Could you explain how to design your product with the manufacturer more clearly? Could I go to them with just and idea/concept? Or would I need dimensions, CAD drawings, Sketches..etc. Thank you in advance for all your help!

Great Content Thank you!

I made wall deckers

Hi Travis! I already have a product idea but very much concerned about the estimated capital that I will have to invest because my money now is very limited only. And will you be able to help us who are not residing in the US to open our amazon seller central account? thanks much!

Great video Travis, I have a question though, how to ensure that your product is not copied by the manufacturer or maybe a designer you hired, especially if product idea is novel and easily copiable?

Great video content!!! Do you suggest getting a patent on the product first?

I'm trying to find someone to help with product development. I'm developing a novel softgood, and I'm working with a local design school to help with the product design. The students there are kinda busy and I would prefer to go with a company that can do this. Do you have any guidance on this? Thanks!

Great video my friend.

you're a beast

Hi Travis, tahnk you for your nice video. One question about working with manufacturers that I have always had is this: what about if you have an idea of a new product or of a modded product but you haven't a patent for it (because there is no innovation or simply beacuse one doesn't think it worths to protect the product by a patent). Would you sign a NDA or similar with the manufacturer? For example, your nuts can't obtain a patent, or maybe, if one could patent the mixture of nuts, doesn't seem to be worthy; so what would be the best way, in your opinion, to deal with this matter? Building a trusty relationship with the manufacturer? Signing a specific agreement (but preparing an agreement is pricy)? Furthermore others can easily copy your product, as in another video of yours you stated. Thank you, Federico
