    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    After taking @AgainstAllOdds advice to heart (thank you), I've asked a bunch of questions about the costs in regard to the mold. And they got back with a clear answer. One that made made me sure I can turn a profit on. "Mold cost will be paid only once ($221). And then after, for each silicone...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    After a few days of no response, the manufacturer finally got back to me... I was able to talk them down on the price. And now, instead of $1.99/unit, it is now $1.88. Not a big difference, but I'll take it. I've also asked the manufacturer @OldFaithful question from before, "How many parts...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, the add-on I'm making will be attached to the product itself, which solves the pain/need. And yeah, there's no product on Amazon that's doing the same. It can either be a very well-accepted product, or completely turned down. Only one way to find out :)

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the input! I'll keep this in mind when they get back to me. Quick question because I'm still a bit confused. If it's a single-cavity mold, the price would be the same for the same units every time correct? And if it's a multi-cavity, the price would be lower for next production...

    EXECUTION 
    Wow, thanks for the heads-up. I wouldn't have thought that that would be risky. I'll stay patient. Thanks again!

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Not much is going on lately. Which is why there's not much to update. But I'm still talking to the manufacturer. And I've taken @biophase advice about pricing. I asked if they were able to go lower, and he said he's going to speak with his boss to see if we can get a special discount. If...

    MINDSET RANT 
    Like the saying goes... "You read one self-help book, and you read them all" I think there's a time when you should stop reading, and instead start studying a specific skill/niche. For me, I stopped reading self-help/motivational/mindset type books. And began studying, rereading, taking lots...

    Well done! I just got my first gig about two weeks ago. And now I'm already doing $150 jobs. (Thank you @SinisterLex) That first gig is life-changing. Congrats man!

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    The product is about 8 inches long and half a centimeter wide. But the silicone part I want to add on it is about a centimeter long (maybe smaller). Yet still, the entire product itself doesn't really have anywhere to put a logo. It would look a bit tacky if there were one too. I'm aware that...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Hey MJ, honored to have you chime in. How would I go about finding this information? Not sure how much molds would typically cost, but the add-on is very small. Do you mean on the physical silicone product itself? If so, I don't even think it's big enough to have a logo on it lol. Thank...

    SEO in 2017, IT'S ALIVE!

    I'm no SEO expert but I think I have a few tips (non-blackhat) to help rank on google. I have several posts ranked first page for my niche sites without any backlinks. How? It really comes down to a few things... Including the search term in your title, URL, and meta description Broadly...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for your input! Makes sense. And I agree. I'm a little worried the product won't come out the exact way I want it (even though it's so simple lol). I was ready to jump right in and order the 25 unit sample, but you're right, I should spend a bit more time to make sure we're on the...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Woke up to an email from my manufacturer giving me two pricing options that threw me off... Here's what they said: "For small mold ($147) one production process is estimated to produce 15pcs. For large mold ($221) one production process can produce 25pcs or more. In this way, unit price for...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Hey amp, thanks for the feedback! The tool was helpful. And yeah, shipping costs should be very low (USPS First Class). Product weighs about 3oz. And the 63 visitors were for this month so far, not per month lol. Although, maybe it still wouldn't be enough. I was planning on running FB ads as...

    First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

    EXECUTION 
    Hey guys, Long time reader, first time poster. This will be my first time creating my own product. Not a completely new one, but a tiny improvement on an existing one. And I've started this thread to journal my progress (as well as to seek some help). I've had this idea for the past two...
