I made $50k profit in a month using Amazon FBM instead of Amazon FBA.
Keys to using FBM🧵
There's a myth throughout the FBA community that merchant fulfilling, aka sending product directly to customers isn't a viable sales channel
This is completely false.
Back in 2021 I did $300k in revenue my first 6 months and it was 99% FBM.
Why did I do this?
Tbh I didn't know any better lol.
I didn't pay attention to what people online were saying and simply kept fulfilling orders and minding my own business.
Eventually, I started FBA in October of the year heavily.
Why do I love FBA?
Many reasons...
To start, less price tanking
A typical product might be found by 30-50+ other sellers, but most of them won't even be in stock till their FBA shipments check in
So rather than waiting 3 weeks to sell and compete with TONS of other sellers, you can just list it FBM when it arrives to you in 3-5 days and sell through way quicker.
This doesn't work on everything, but it costs you nothing to list everything for 48 hours to test.
If it does sell, you move it 5x quicker and place a replen order ASAP.
Now you've validated that item, have made money in a few days rather than 3 weeks, and have acquired more capital/skill/confidence for the future.
This is a game changer for beginners.
I have several coaching students who have gone from 0 to thousands a month in profit in record time by FBMing.
Most of you guys don't ship stuff out the same day or the next day for FBA anyway, you might as well take 5 minutes a day to list inventory that arrives FBM and give yourself a chance to make money way quicker.
A few things you'll need to do:
>Learn to read Keepa buy box statistics to see if other sellers are FBMing
>Use @SellerAmp to see dimensions and estimate FBM cost using this chart:
These are 2022 numbers, haven't done enough this year yet to know if they updated
@SellerAmp FBM is best utilized during holiday seasons, but can be an evergreen especially on items that show others are printing money FBM on.
Why not you?
@SellerAmp Give it a go, its been huge for me and can be for you.
Even if 10-20% of your sales are FBM it skyrockets your cashflow and efficiency
Not to mention intangibles like confidence and skill.
@SellerAmp It costs you nothing to test this out and it can change your whole business.
