Passive income??? For Someone who claims to be an expert on Amazon you should know Amazon is absolutely not passive income. Anybody claiming that has either never sold on Amazon or just taking advantage of people by misrepresenting the Amazon business model to sell a course as easy passive income opportunity which many fake gurus have
I've been selling on Amazon FBA for years now and it can be passive if you are able to put systems in place. This is what I did and it allows me to sell my products even if I'm away on vacation for a month or two
@@TravisMarziani No brother it is NOT passive. You constantly have to track your sales, conversion, ppc and be doing TONS of split tests. You need to update packaging, images, copies and add more and more products because people would copy you and after a few months of doing good and your sales start to drop so you need more products. There is a lot that goes into launching a successful product. From sourcing, product photography, figuring out your sales angle, video, analyzing niches etc. it’s by no means passive income. It constantly needs attention. Sure you may be able to not work for a week or so but the way most people think when you say passive income is that they can buy your course launch 1-2 products and see the profit coming in for years to come and all they have to do is to re order. Which is absolutely not the case. So please do not be one of those gurus and refrain from calling this a passive income. People are tired of the likes of Kevin David. You are better than that.
@@boomababe7482 I’ve been an Amazon seller for a few years now, I do make money in my sleep. I woke up this morning and saw that I made almost 1k in sales as I slept. And every day when I’m at work doing my day job, I’m making hundreds of dollars on Amazon without having to lift a finger, and it doesn’t interfere with my day job one bit. Am I rich from Amazon sales ? No, but I make enough money to cover my mortgage & utilities, so I can use my day job money for car insurance, groceries, & travel. I’m able to travel so much now that I even started a travel YT channel of my own. So I’m thankful for Amazon.
Right on.... crap. Why would Amazon not vet these companies that are ruining their name and stop them from selling junk -- and usually with no recourse.
True. There are people who would pay $50 for a $10 product with faster 2-3 days delivery and yet there are others who can wait 2-3 weeks just to save $40.
Great video looking at the developments of both e- commerce platforms! I've been watching your product research video for a product and really appreciate the work you do to make these videos. Thank you so much!
@TravisMarziani more like I'm planning to try one last time with FBA before I call it quits. I have been selling for the past couple of years and not making anything but it's partly me with a full time job and a product that sells well mostly at Christmas (not a seasonal product it is gift able) so watching your videos for help. I cannot afford any courses as I did a course but i don't think I am applying things well obviously if I'm not making anything but also don't want to throw in the towel yet.
Though selling on Amazon must be top quality and worth it products like food, phones, computers, phone accessories, console, etc. While Temu is good to sell like not a big deal and has just enough quality that makes the product not make me perish but aware of fake such as furniture like chairs, art materials, school supplies, etc., that I don’t care if the products are just a second rate or not the best but it is still useable.
Many US customers don't trust the Temu app. Many products were cheaply made. The delivery time sucks! And products are not really THAT CHEAP now, to be honest.
I am waiting for a TEMU order and this is the tracking information A BIT MIND BLOWING Package arrived at an Amazon facility. (WTF) LONGUEUIL, Quebec, CA August 8, 2024, 7:25 pm Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit (TEMU) August 8, 2024, 6:14 am
I have Amazon Prime and I have Temu. I use both. I like faster shipping for some of my things. Temu shipping takes over a week and that is okay for very low cost items. I will pay more for an item on Amazon than Temu to get it faster. Like I got a window shade. It was $5.00 on Temu but that same shade was $10.00 on Amazon. I picked Amazon and got it the next day.
Your content is always great and always speaks the truth. I think Temu is completely dead compared to Amazon. It's like comparing Marks & Spencer to Iceland. Iceland is cheap and convenient but lacks in quality, so I personally wouldn't buy anything from there. Temu is like Iceland. I can speak from personal experience; I have ordered few things from Temu, and they're already broken. Whereas Amazon is like M&S.. you get things in good quality.
Amazon is expensive. And I see lots of scalping. Chinese for centuries were not warriors, they were traders, and they are fierce traders. Americans adjust the price to meet a cost. Chinese adjust the cost to meet the price. Many years ago Chinese products were cheap because they used cheap labor. But labor is not cheap anymore. Now they rely on the scale economy as they vertical integration and created clusters of higher tiers. But there is even more. In the past Europe (mostly Germany) was competitive because of cheap Russian energy. But with sanctions that ended. So Russia sells its cheap energy to China. In the 1980s when Japanese products flooded US shelves, USA made Japan to sign the Plaza Accord that killed competitiveness of Japan. But China cannot be stopped that way. When Yellen arrived to China to complain about overcapacity, she was received by low rank officials, and while she was delivering her complaint to low rank officials, Xi and Putin were signing a trade agreement in the room next door. So now our western world is the countryside of the world economy. many people have not realized about it, but it will not take too long before people learn it is the case.
Temu isn't taking a large portion of Amazons customers. Temu has spent an unreal amount of money on advertising to the US market so sure, a lot of people have tried it including myself. And like countless others; the product was terrible with awful packaging and considerably longer shipping times. Amazon has the market cornered with their shipping and customer support. Being able to drop off return practically any item for any reason without question is a selling point Temu will never be able to replicate (long term)
Not agree , as I’ve returned some products without questions on Temu, but agreed that amazon have a bigger hand , but it is threatening Amazon for sure
@@TravisMarziani because Temu has everything Amazon has that I need or want at one tenth of the price and most times has way nicer stuff and quick 2 to 4 day delivery plus Amazon is a job killer in USA.
yeah but do they realize the quality TEMU has. Complete trash, I deleted the app. In addition to that Temu doesn't ship in 2 days like PRIME. Forever FBA. Temu is creepy too the moment you download their app their ads pop up on every platform I have on my phone. I think it's creepy; maybe they can take your phone information. BE CAREFUL WITH THE CHINESE APPS!!!! THEY ARE AHEAD OF THE US
Temu is like a wave tsunami. It's gonna come wreak havoc and cool down. Amazon(with a bit of quality control) is like the seasonal rainfall. So weigh in pros cons of both
Hold on this is how I could tell. You didn’t do any due diligence not everything from temu was junk. There are quality products that most Amazon FPA sellers get their products from. It’s the same thing I want to say 3/4 of the cases.
perhaps but we as Americans will hold Amazon to a higher standard and publicize every move they make. Temu just had a seller revolt and are being investigated. plus many people have had card info stolen from Temu not so with Amazon.
Selling on Amazon sucks. You can’t sell anything without Amazon advertisement which is the worst ever service. I am selling a product from the last one year and for each item (worth $17) sold I not only lose $28 on average on advertising it but also lose the product cost and about $13 in miscellaneous Amazon fees. Selling on Amazon means putting your hard earned money in Jeff Bezos’s pocket.
Hi ai have a question. Is it possible to make a facebook marketplace account. List the same product. Then have amazon ship items bought both by amazon customers and facebook customers?
TEMU is for nicknacks like stickers and trinkets that you wont return and just take the loss if it’s wrong. Your shipping is wrong though. It’s usually about a week for me. I literally just a got a txt discount ad from TEMU as i type this.
@@TravisMarziani Yes - we've done that in the past- designed our brand - packaging, logo, website etc and then selected Chinese products onto which we imprinted this brand. We shipped them to the USA from China for FBA sale. Let me tell you, with all the Amazon fees and especially advertising fees, it was tough to break even and make money. Building the brand costs quite a lot of time and money, FBA fees are high (the logistics are superb though), the competitioon is fierce. Some competitors use price monitoring software and when they detect similar products are cheaper, they undercut them by a cent or two - which gives them mpore access to the 'Buy Box', but whih can send all the sellers into a downward price spiral. This suits Amazon very well as they want to be the 'cheapest'. With respect to customer returns, customers get returns no questions asked and the seller carries the cost not only of the product, but disposal of the return. Not al;l returnms are legitimate to say the least. Also, Amazon have long since been known to copy very successful products and then sell their own. It's a very rough market already and Amazon ar now making it worse for the little guy. We won't be going back to Amazon FBA because we udnerstand it rather well. If you have a UNIQUE product and can charge sensible/profitable prices, then it's a good place to sell. But who has that, and how long before your product is copied? Have a great day Travis.
@@TravisMarziani Yes I did. You have good ideas for quality FBA sellers. What delegitimizes FBA sellers is when some sell Temu type fake stuff. Example - fake "NGK" spark plugs or other fake "factory" car parts that go bad after the 30 day Amazon return period..
Amazon is still number one. I couldn't take Temu seriously, doesn't look like a legitimate and trustworthy company. Awful interface and product pages, and literally ALL listings have thousands of ratings and reviews lol. Sus af. Yes, it's significantly cheaper, but I doubt those products are of quality.
@@TravisMarziani Yeah only for those who can afford it but not always like comparing the prices depending on the location based on consumer and salary. Especially a lot of people who are minimum wage earners can’t even afford items on Amazon. For example, some countries have 10 dollars per day minus the day off and tax charges to minimum wage earners. Also, Lazada and Shoppee have become more popular here than Amazon. But keep it up Amazon so you can always sell original and worth-it products.
amazon asked me to provide the test product of my product. which was done. i would like to know how long the review take? because since last thursday my status is under review
What about american go to china? China retail market worth 6 trillion! Mexico market worth 100 billion! Rather work in thise countries first before europe germany. Germany market worth 1 trillion. These numbers are just for 1 year. So there is enough money for everyone!!! USA 646 billion!
@TravisMarziani Completely unrelated subjects. Just trying to help people make money. I post lots of comments. Never made video except for tiktik, Facebook and instragram reels.
@@TravisMarziani It's not Amazon's top priority either but I've noticed ordering the same type of product from each, the quality of what you order from TEMU will generally be noticeably lower, and there seem to be a lot of "copies" of other products there.
@@TravisMarziani Tesla China is 100% foreign owned. A lot of my friends WHOLLY OWN their companies. A simple google search returns: Foreigners can set up 3 types of companies in China: Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (WFOE), Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture (JV), and Representative Offices (RO).
