Show Notes

In this episode, we tackled the critical aspects of Amazon FBA sourcing:
  1. Market Demand: Utilize tools like Jungle Scout to gauge if products are selling well on Amazon.
  2. Competition Analysis: Understand the number of sellers versus product demand; this ratio is crucial for inventory turnover and profitability.
  3. Profit Margin Calculation: Deduct costs like Amazon fees and product sourcing from the selling price to ensure a viable profit margin.
  4. Supplier Reliability: Ensure you’re working with trustworthy suppliers to maintain a steady product supply.
  5. Inventory Turnover Rate: Be wary of slow-moving products; your capital shouldn’t be tied up in stagnant inventory.
  6. Amazon Compliance: Stay within Amazon’s rules, especially for restricted categories or high-liability products.
  7. Seasonality and Trends: Be cautious of seasonal products and fleeting trends that can affect sales consistency.
  8. Scalability and Adjacent Products: Look for opportunities to scale and expand within the niche.
  9. Winning the Buy Box: Focus on maintaining strong seller metrics and competitive pricing to win the buy box.
  10. Google Analytics Setup: Highlighted the importance of setting this up correctly for long-term tracking and analysis.
