If the opportunity is tremendous, I may go for sales ranks of less than 100,000 in a broad and popular category.<\/p>\n<p>The key point to take away from this is: <strong>The lower the sales rank, the more likely the product will sell quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Sourcing &#8216;Stuff&#8217; to Sell on Amazon<\/h3>\n<p>You probably don&#8217;t have suppliers that will sell you products for 30% less than Amazon prices.<\/p>\n<p>No worries. Neither do I.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here&#8217;s how I let the products find me<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Register for big box store newsletters<\/strong> with product prices you understand (Target, Walmart, Home Depot etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wait for their flyers<\/strong> to be emailed to you<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skim their offerings and compare with Amazon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I know, it sounds too good to be true. But it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll go through tons of flyers and may not find anything at all. But the few that you find will be your easiest, greatest and most profitable hustle.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made so many purchases doing this that I&#8217;ve collected enough rewards\u00a0miles to travel the world four times and back.<\/p>\n<p>Another great way to stay on top of flyers is by using the Flipp App. You can <a title=\"flipp itunes store\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/flipp-flyers-shopping-list\/id725097967?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">download it from the iTunes store<\/a> or <a title=\"flipp play store\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.wishabi.flipp&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost to Sell on Amazon<\/h2>\n<p>Does it cost anything to sell on Amazon? Of course it does.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon has roughly <strong>244 million customers (May 2014)<\/strong> that sellers gain free exposure to. <strong>Over<\/strong> <strong>20 million are Amazon Prime users<\/strong> which directly benefits FBA sellers.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 expenses to consider when selling on Amazon&#8217;s FBA program:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Product purchase prices<\/li>\n<li>Shipping costs\u00a0to Amazon FBA<\/li>\n<li>Amazon referral fees <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=1161240\" target=\"_blank\">(Amazon.com&#8217;s chart)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Warehouse storage fees <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=200627230\" target=\"_blank\">(Amazon&#8217;s FBA storage calculator)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Subscription fees ($0.99\/transaction vs.$39.99\/month)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The two main items I give attention to are the <strong>cost of my products and the cost to ship to Amazon&#8217;s FBA warehouses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/gp\/fba\/revenue-calculator\/index.html\/ref=id_xx_cont_xx?ie=UTF8&amp;lang=en_US\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon has an FBA calculator<\/a> that does the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Just find your product, enter your expected sale price, inbound shipping costs and the cost of your product. Then\u00a0look at the profit table and make an informed purchasing decision.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of selling ten iPhone 6s for $700 each (note: I put the cost of the product under prep service).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"picBorder aligncenter size-full wp-image-1971\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample.png\" alt=\"fba calculator\" width=\"775\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample.png 775w, https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample-460x472.png 460w, https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample-120x123.png 120w, https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample-310x318.png 310w, https:\/\/www.moneyjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/fba-calculator-iphone6-sample-768x789.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best part about this $1,339 profit is that you can expect it to <strong>sell in less than a day<\/strong> of it being checked in.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because its current sales rank is #528, you have a low quantity and it&#8217;s in a super competitive broad category (cell phones &amp; accessories).<\/p>\n<p>So how do we put this Amazon awesomeness into action?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"HowTo\">Step by Step Guide to Start Selling on Amazon Now<\/h2>\n<p>The Amazon marketplace you choose will likely be based on your geographic location.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s cheaper to ship items to locations that are closest\u00a0to you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m located in Canada and sell on both Amazon.com (USA) and Amazon.ca (Canada).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the step by step instructions on how to sell on Amazon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Visit sellercentral.amazon.[com, ca, co.uk etc].
