who is the fakest and the biggest fraud from the thumbnail? id say "jordan welsh"
I make a lot more than this in my side hustle. Its called investing wisely.
Nonchalauntly doing all of this with a baby, no big deal... lol she's amazing 👏
Amazing tips and excellent work. Wishing you the best and huge success! Time for me to start my business venture. Thank you so much for everything and motivation!
This has been my experience as well almost to a T. Thanks for the transparency. The one gripe I have with Amazon is that the rules of the game change so fast and at amazons whim, that it almost makes it not worth it to scale. With the recent changes to bundles, brand gating, etc, definitely becomes apparent that depending on Amazon for your livelyhood is not for the weary. Agree wholesale/private label is the way to go long term
At the end of the day, it’s a job. Like anything else. It requires a lot of work to get it right. And capital. But if you do get it right then life’s a peach. If not you’re bankrupt. Up to you I guess.
Exactly
Does this work in Australia?
Anywhere but with some caveat on how much setup you need to do since you are outside the USA and need foreign entity and stuff. Better consult with a tax accountant or lawyer who is knowledgeable
Just doing some basic math: At 300 videos per $1000 earned, assuming it takes about 1 hour in total to produce each video, you’re essentially making $3.33 per hour. If you can squeeze the production time down to 30 minutes per video, that’s still only $6.67 per hour. I suppose that truly does put being an Amazon Influencer deep into the “side hustle” category. However, is that return worth the amount of time and effort you’ll need to put into just being accepted into the program? Not to mention, putting your likeness out into the public, which comes with its own set of risks. It feels like there are probably more lucrative side hustles out there, as you have featured on this channel. This comment isn’t meant to deter anyone but instead offer some insight into what it might look like compared to what it breaks down into an hourly rate.
Why would it take one hour a video? I recorded 30 videos in less than an hour since they are less than 30s long. 😂
@@ApprenticeDiary Right but are we reviewing the videos before we post them? If so, that's at least 60 seconds per video. Are we traveling somewhere to find products to review? A friend's house, family's house? If so, that travel time and cost is part of the equation. Are we recording separate voice-overs for any of the videos? If so, that time plus the time to edit that voice-over into the original video is part of equation. It becomes even more complicated when we're talking about creating a whole online social media presence just to get accepted into the program. The time to entry could take months. The effort required to create that presence is essentially unpaid. So that cost would need to be included into the equation in order to have a true assessment of cost of entry. Again, this isn't a deterrent or an attack. I love your videos. I find them so full of helpful information. I also feel like your videos are known and loved because of your transparency. Including this information, or at least an average for the true production cost, is probably pretty important. Especially since many people watching these videos are probably brand new to this and aren't experienced at making review videos. I realize that an hour per video is probably way off but it's important to have the conversation and to set proper expectations.
I’m going to assume that the financial institutions will initially look at your personal credit rating to determine if they’re going to give you a credit card for your business ? If that’s the case, I can see financing this type of venture as being difficult for the average person.
Won’t know until you try unless you credit scores is super low. Then you should work on your cs
@@ApprenticeDiary Agreed. It's a good thing to note as a prerequisite for an approach that uses credit as a way to finance inventory acquisition.
I appreciate you, new sub fasho
So… what is the purpose of wearing the mask ?
What mask?
The one you are wearing on a video typing on the computer for example…
thanks!
No problem!

How do I connect my supplier in china with an amazon warehouse? So it can be sent directly.
You don’t do dropshipping on Amazon or you will get banned
Meanwhile unemployed 29 yo me living in rural France on 3 figures a month cause I'm too regarded to even hold a job
Love France. Visited a few times. The 🥖 are so French and only like 2€. You don’t need much to live in other countries. If you are happy and can still afford without a job, then go for it.
Huh. I’d never considered a simple business credit card as a way of capital. An option to consider, for sure.
Yeah, so many ppl using it. But the limit is low at first.
All this while giving birth she’s a legend
Thanks
Amazing video. I have a dream alongwith you - to succeed in dropshipping till mid 2025 😅 1 doubt: So that ad creating agency creates ads for already viral tik tok products that we choose or it can create ad videos of our chosen or bought products? How does it work?
They mainly find videos online but can also help you make custom videos if you send them the product
So are you how much are you earning now in dropshipping?
Nothing yet since I just started. Still working on learning better ad strategy and product research
This video have find me or I find it either way I’m blessed
Thanks! Good luck!
Great video! I love the honest feedback and inspiration. I plan to open a store soo. As well. Any tips and tricks ? Or do you have any personal training ?
I don’t do any courses or coaching. Feel free to join the discords I recommend on the description of this video. I honestly believe they are way better investment than an expensive course. You can ask questions and connect with others
@@ApprenticeDiary thank you 🙏
You are super awesome! new sub here, I had to subscribe yes or yes after just 3 minutes or less great info here!!! thank you! you deserve every single sub you have and many many more! much success to you
Thank you!
I'm on the program and repost content here on this channel. The videos aren't great for RUclips but work well on Amazon
That is smart. They work different on each platform. For the amz videos, I don’t even put much effort 😂 so don’t use them on any other platform
Change the title to how i made Amazon more money
It’s part of the game.
Love your channel, I come back to your channel for motivation. 😊
Thanks!!
I don’t have to be super rich but it would be nice to be comfortable
Start with what you can put into investment and keep it consistent. You will be surprised how much they could grow over the long haul
This is good because I’m sure you learned a lot through this process.
For sure
Did you make 6 different websites to test the products individually? And if so wouldn’t that mean you have too make 6 different shopify accounts ?
Yes, you can sign up for Shopify for like a $1 and then cancel after testing for a few weeks
Your resilient mindset really set you on the path to success. Thank you for sharing this inspiring info.
Thanks!
Thank you for very clear and concise visual presentation of growth over time. This is a great affirmation of what I am doing similarly thing contributing my Roth IRS to maximum annually and continue to have company matching maximum 401 K.
Thank you so much for being honest about your net profit. So many youtubers stretch the truth on this part. Best of luck in all your future endeavours.
Thanks
Just had a baby, works a full-time job and runs her own business. Is this woman superwoman?
🤣 I do have a village behind me. Helping with everything so I can have time to try things
@@ApprenticeDiary You are very modest. I believe you've worked your socks off to get where you are.
You git some great ideas and insights. Liked and subbed.
Thanks for feedback and support!
great video, no run around and dead words used to extend the video.
Thanks for feedback!
Selling cheap Chinese crap.
You could sell high quality stuff if you want. Depends on what you want to build
Virtual address just in case you get unwanted fams knocking
Yup 😂.
@ApprenticeDiary need more videos on this part.. pros, cons, and best practices
@@onlyagreeingsometimes will try to cover during my behind the scenes video
@ApprenticeDiary wouldn't it be better to make this a topic by itself as people may search for virtual addresses 🤔 You can always cut the behind the scenes part of this and make it a part 2 video and have part 3 for the behind the scenes part where you're working with Filipino VAs.
@@onlyagreeingsometimes Thanks for the suggestions! I think just talking about virtual addresses is not enough to get its own video unless it is a short. There is not much to it I think... also too niched down.
I am in awe of your hustle! At my age of 52, I do not want to work that hard, but I really appreciate you sharing your journey and being so transparent about the time it takes and why you keep changing business models as you get more comfortable with the different options.
Thanks for the kind words!
Can you go over all the best software you use for your business?
Will do in my behind the scenes of the business
Nice
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your job loss. Take care of yourself first and then try a few side hustles if you can while job hunting. You never know what a side hustle will bring
great video thank you

From Uganda(Africa)here...the thing about the west, there are so many opportunities to make a buck...oh mahn! How is wish!😢
I know what you mean as I came from another country too. There are still lesser known ways to get into the U.S. market as a foreigner. Just need to go through the hassle and gain the knowledge of how to.
Thank you so much for creating this video and documenting your honest journey step by step without gatekeeping! I feel like I learned a lot and it's really inspiring. Idk if it's something I'd exactly be interested in doing myself, but certainly something to think about! Thanks again!
Thanks!
