WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED SELLING ON AMAZON
Thread:
1. Inventory: in order to make sales, you need inventory. Think of your Amazon store as a conscience store that needs to be filled up with a bunch of stock. I would recommend to start with around $500 on inventory.
$500 seems to be the sweet spot. The best thing to do is start with around 15 products (buy about 2-4 units of each) & then once you are more comfortable choosing winning products, invest more money gradually.
2. Softwares:
First of all, you need to sign up for an Amazon seller central account which is $29.99/month for Canadians & $39.99 for the US.
Then I would recommend to get these 2 softwares:
1. Tactical Arbitrage:
This software will scan through known retail websites like Walmart to find you products that are already selling frequently in the market (with a profit margin) that you can then resell on Amazon.
w/o this software, my business would probably be nowhere
You can try Tactical Arbitrage for free for 10 days with my code: SASHAFBA

The next software you should get is Keepa. This software will be your guide in differentiating a good product from a bad product. This software will ensure that you actually have winning products.

3. Supplies:
The last things that you need are supplies to pack & ship your items to Amazon.
You will need a body weight scale & tape measure to list the weight & dimensions of all boxes sent to Amazon.
You will also need a printer to print product labels in order to label all of your products (you can also pay Amazon 20 cents per unit to do this step for you). You will also need to print box labels for all boxes sent to Amazon.
You will need to get bubble wrap, brown paper & boxes (these all should be free if you are ordering everything online)
If you send any liquids or loose items, then you will need to put them in a polybag (it needs to have a choking hazard written on the bag)
These are the polybags I use:

Lastly, you need to get tape so you can properly tape your boxes. I just buy tape from the dollar store.
& that is pretty much all you need to get started. There are some other more optional things that can make your life easier but everything that was mentioned should be enough
This is probably one of the easiest businesses to start in terms of low cost. You really don’t need a lot of money to get started🫶🏻
