Podcast Episode 253 – How to Overcome the Worst Aspect of Selling Wholesale on Amazon

August 9, 2024 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

It’s really exciting to think about adding wholesale sourcing to your Amazon business. Buying items direct from a wholesale supplier at super low prices sounds like the golden ticket to Amazon FBA selling success – but when many Amazon sellers begin their journey of reaching out directly to wholesale brands, they experience what could metaphorically feel like a door slammed in their face. A big fat NO.

This can easily feel like the worst aspect of selling wholesale items on Amazon – but in today’s episode we’re going to share with you how this experience can be turned around confidently and consistently to become one of the best parts of building up your wholesale inventory on Amazon FBA.

Listen on the podcast player below.

THE FULL-TIME FBA
COACHING PROGRAM

Selling on Amazon might sound easy… but it’s not. Too many Amazon reseller “gurus” will try to get you to fall for an Amazon reseller “get rich quick” scheme, but we’re here to tell you the truth:

  • Selling on Amazon is hard, especially when you’re all by yourself… BUT it’s so much easier with a guide — and we’re here to help.
  • Selling on Amazon is not a “get rich quick” scheme… BUT it can be a “get rich slowly” plan. With commitment to working hard, combined with our expert guidance, you can start making a full-time income selling on Amazon within about a year.

That’s why you’re invited to join our 6-12-month long Full-Time FBA Coaching Program. No matter if you’re brand new to selling on Amazon or if you have a few years of experience, our coaching program will take you from where you are to making a full-time income in about 12-months.

We’ve been coaching sellers like you for over a decade and have found what it takes to help you make that full-time income dream into a reality. Find out more about The Full-Time FBA Coaching Program (including how to set up a Connect Call with me to ask your specific questions about the program).
