Our Rookie Year Selling On FBA


 I've seen so much information and different opinions on selling through FBA (Fulfilment By Amazon) on multiple platforms and from the research I conducted. Everyone had quite a wide range of differences, but the few main concerns are finding products and the right niche. Personally, I haven't really felt like the niche is the way forward for me at this time but I'm not ruling out anything later on in AMATs future because I believe AMAT Culture Ltd has a bright future.


Finding Products

100% the most ball ache of Amazon FBA! Scrolling through endless amounts of wholesalers and websites that have clearances to find the products that you could make a little profit off. I am using this method because I believe this is the best way for someone like myself and my wonderful fiancee. I am seeing this method work as we have consecutive days of selling units, now I understand people will see £1000 to £5000 a month in sales (remember sales is not your take home) all over platforms but unless you have the capital I can't see how you can make that work without taking a huge risk in buying a product that can make that. Myself and Amelia started with a complete buy-in of products, packaging and other consumables like labels which set us back roughly £300.

Our First Week Selling On FBA

As you can see from the graph below this is our first week. I personally believe that we have SMASHED it. I know it isn't £1000 sales a month but if I'm honest with you as long as we are making steps forward I don't really care how long it takes us. I know for a FACT that the foundations that Amelia and I have set are stronger than Tungsten. I won't lie though we have our problems starting the business like trying to find the right labels as the description on Amazon's website never dictates that we were better off getting A4 sheet labels and having 2 labels on each A4. If we had known that before we could have had our products at amazon a lot sooner but it's a mistake and I will be making a lot of them as learn the steep learning curve that is Amazon FBA.

17 Units sold in 7 days is impressive for someone like me. Now I'm not trying to get pity or sympathy but I've always been told either "You ain't shit" or "you'll never be anything". Now telling a kid that, NO MATTER what they have done is probably a harsher punishment than actually smacking them with a belt like my old man had done to him a few times if he got naughty. If you don't believe me ask someone who went to school before 1970/80 and I bet they say the same.





If I have still been able to keep your attention then great thank you for reading through. I've always thought I can never write creative but this blog helps plus the fact in the last couple of years I've been trying to be more creative.


I look forward to seeing our fans in the future and speaking to you all!

CAR BOOT BONANZA 🚗🥾

Image
There is always a bargain to be found...💎💎💎 A little history about myself and my car boots. I always remember when I was younger my dad loved car boot, we all have memories whether good or bad of our parents but the best ones I have had with my dad is of car boots and other events alike. I learned all my bartering skills from watching him, I'd never tell him this but the reason I'm good at anything to do with bartering and getting deals is because of watching him. My dad wasn't a great teacher but that is not his fault, he didn't have the best upbringing, so he has never been shown or lived with a father who has done what he has done for me, whether he knew what he was doing or not. We always went to these car boots, our main options in my area are a large one at Swallowfield and a one that used to be large, but I don't think it is as big as it used to be, to be honest probably not worth the time it would take to get there. First time in a few years I finally got...

WE MADE OUR FIRST £100 IN SALES! 21/09/2022

  BABY STEPS We did it! We are moving forward! We are taking small steps towards our goal. I am so proud of what Amelia and I have achieved so far, we have just made our first £100 in sales. That was a great first week with our products being officially live on Amazon's Marketplace. We have had some anxious waiting and wondering if we sent the packages off to amazon correctly or if we missed a label or the worse thing, is if the shipment was rejected and we had to pay the fees to bring it back. I'm just looking forward to seeing what we can achieve cause we are a solid team and I wholeheartedly believe fuck all can stop us! We are on a mission to be financial free i'm not greedy, I don't want to be rich, ideally I'd love to go to work without worrying that I need to go because of the money. Then I can go to work and seriously have no boundaries and really express my desire to excel through my company's systems.  With this infrastructure that we are building, we ...

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN

 Where Have We Been?! It's been a while!  Wow, we've not posted a blog for nearly a week now which isn't like us! It's just been a hectic week and we didn't have much time to type one up but let me update you on our week 😊 I've been working on the weekends recently so trying to cram in work, AMAT Culture work and seeing friends and family has been quite difficult. On Saturday we had to go and get a food shop done as we had literally nothing in the house. Matt hates food shopping but I LOVE it! Love picking out what fresh fruit and veg we're going to have, I like having a mooch around to get new meal ideas or snack ideas. I'm also really picky with chicken so going into a shop and picking a decent looking pack of chicken breasts is a must for me. Don't get me wrong, online food deliveries are great if you don't have the time or can't get out but I don't like that you can't look at the products and choose which one you want.  Matt and ...
