I have sourced and launched my product on Amazon this year as the first product of my fitness brand.
While running this business, and having moderate success at Selling and Ranking the product (despite being in an ultra-competitive niche (thanks to @MJ DeMarco for teaching how to skew value)), I discovered two things:
1) I still have a lot of time on my hands;
2) My full-time job is hardly supporting the business expenses (orders with a factory, PPC)
So, I decided why not have some fun...
I am going to offer Amazon PPC management as a service on Upwork and establish a second stream of income.
I will set aside my limiting beliefs:
- a saturated market dominated by freelancers from countries where the cost of living is cheap;
- lack of skills (only half a year or so of experience running amazon PPC for my own brand; but a few years with paid advertising in general)
and just take action and see what happens.
Goals by the end of this week:
1) Set up a profile on Upwork following best practices outlined by @Lex DeVille and based on the structure of successful profiles on Upwork offering the same service;
2) Send 10 highly personalized proposals, while providing a lot of value beforehand;
3) Get going with the first contract.
Goal by the end of 2021: at least 1,000 USD in profit overall from freelancing
.. if anyone is struggling with their amazon PPC, feel free to message.
