      I think the part of making the wrong hires definitely struck me the most. Mainly, because I feel like I'd hire someone based off their personality and if we''re a match, not exactly if they're a match to the business. Also, the part of waiting too long to make the hires to delegate your time for other important tasks is also key!
      As far as where I'm at on my journey, I found my product from marketplace superheroes, and I am contacting suppliers for samples! I've already binge watched your videos on picking the "right suppliers," and what to say! I'm so excited, and wanted to thank you so much. I am truly grateful for your content and overall existence! I am 19 years old and have to say you're genuinely my role model in every way :) thank you!!

She actually made a video about marketplace superheroes years ago, but her and stefan made a video in 2020, about a month or two ago I think if we should still sell on amazon because there's this misconception that it's "too saturated." But, thats all bs and an excuse to not go for it. GET IT!!

    I recently started online arbitrage. My first mistake: buying items (MANY units!) before checking if I was allowed to sell them on AMZ. Second mistake, not checking if only the brand sells a product, thus getting a warning from that brand. It's true though that when you make costly mistakes, you learn much faster!

    If I could only go back these 10 months when I started I would do a lot of things differently. It is actually refreshing to know that I am not the only one making mistakes :) I wish you could do an interview with a bookkeeper who would give us step by step instructions showing us the correct steps to take when we starting out and don’t have the finances to hire anyone at first. That would be really helpful because right now I am trying to do everything on my own and bookkeeping is one of the things I am struggling with as I don’t know exactly what and how to do it.
    I totally resonated with you hiring the wrong people. I hired a VA from Pakistan and she ended up losing me a lot of money. I hired two more people after her and neither of them were good. I think it’s a good idea to go to an agency and allow them to do the work.

    I agreed with your second point
    " too much SKUs" and I have suffered from personally. If your target is 70 orders per day, so launch one SKU instead of launching 10 different SKUs in which one SKU could bring 7 orders. SKU.
    We mostly people lack in bookkeeping so need detailed video on this topic.
    Keep it up Tatiana

    If the person isn’t improving after 3 attempts at something, they probably never will be able grow and be a valuable member of your organization, (by choice or by not being able to). I’ll remember ‘Slow to hire, Quick to fire,’ that’s a very Succinct way of putting it.

    5 Mistakes already "Successful" Amazon sellers need to avoid. This is beyond amazon seller, theses are mistakes general ecommerce managers face. (business major decades ago here). Right now in 2021 you should make a video about how to start, it's so different now because the sea shipping fiasco and cost makes a lot otherwise viable product to try completely out of the question. In general people are staying more at home and doing entertainment stuff at home, work, school at home more (even if covid is over). This is gonna increase the need for such and such category and so on. Over all great videos, really like ur channel.

    I would like your thoughts about the mentors that set rules for a FBA beginning seller that they should go for a low competition (with high demand). Although it sounds fantastic, but in reality of economic, low competition appears to have low demand... My goal is to generate $180,000 of revenue in the first quarter. Should I try with low competition product(s) first to test the market and drive the sales, and then expand onto a more demanded product in a related product categories?

    • @TatianaJames
      @TatianaJames  3 года назад +3

      You don't want to source a product with low demand. So the rule about low competition with high demand is very different than just saying low competition. If you can't seem to find low competition then you for a product that you could market in a unique way or offer more value than the competition, that will help you differentiate from the competition.

    3PL service centres, could they also be inventory managers? or is it enough to hire inventory managers from Upwork?
    Thanks.

      No, I live a nomadic lifestyle, don’t have a home and don’t have a car! I do have a Rolex.
