Nate, your tutorial is great and informative but just like the taglines, it made for beginners only. I noticed all the KZreadrs are keeping the real methods to themselves. I understood that after reading an eBook. No body is talking on how to outrank competitor listings (Which is the most important thing), how to bring traffic outside AMZ, how to do proper off page SEO etc etc. One more thing I noticed is that lots of people are claiming that Amazon fba became saturated, the reason they claim it is because they do not want you to take a piece of the cake. I started two years ago and already crossed 130k\month. However, I do suggest to add more videos with more value instead of just the basic things that seen here on YT over and over again.

When you sign up for an Amazon Seller account, it asks if you are a business or a sole trader/Individual, if you sign up as an individual, do you get to have a shop name? Or is your shop name that the public see when they shop, the same as your real name. So if you signed up as Fred Smith, your shop name is Fred Smith, or do you have an option to have a shop name, for example, Star Bargains, or Blue Sky Deals, etc.

As this is earnings I take it you going be paying tax on what you are selling so have to keep records and submit them ?

So how do you send it to Amazon ? Do they send you a postage label or something

could you tell us how we record sales for the tax man? accounting profit/loss is by far the hardest part of business

How do I make it so I can see all the details at the bottom on the revenue calculator?

How much money would be necessary to get started?

Thanks for the information. Why don't you sell bigger things or things that will scale higher? from my point I can't see it's value for selling cheaper products. It's not a lot of money sorry that's my opinion. I think the margins need to be bigger, but hats off for you for trying 🙂

Why does nobody ever mention that prices go down constantly due to so many sellers. If that 1 product says it'll make you £2.94 by the time youve shipped it to amazon and they've got your stock online (around 2 weeks) there will be 100 other sellers with the same stuff. They all lower prices to win the buy box and you end up selling £5 less just to compete meaning you've made a loss. That's why you use a spreadsheet and not the actual seller accounts page
