• Amazon PPC for Sellers That Want to Delegate with Mina Elias
    Aug 1 2022

    Most "automatic" Amazon Ads software is hit or miss, and learning to do it yourself is (lets be honest) BORING.

     

    But sellers can't just ignore the most powerful ads platform to sell more products, right?

     

    Brand owners should understand Amazon Ads well enough to hire someone, and know if they're doing a good job.

     

    Otherwise, your entire revenue is left in the hands of your ads manager.

     

    I've literally audited an ads account managed by another agency that had ZERO changes in more than a year!

     

    In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, I grill Mina Elias about the top things non-technical Amazon sellers must know in order to effectively outsource their ads.

    Jul 31 2022

    If you sell products on Amazon & you don't know the math behind your conversion rate, you're definitely dumping profit in the garbage.

     

    In this video I'm going to show you in simple terms how much more profit you could be making with very small conversion rate improvements.

     

     

    If your competitors are doing even half of what I'm going to show you & you're NOT... over time, they will win.

  • What Ecom Entrepreneurs MUST Know About Bookkeeping with Nathan Hirsch
    Jul 24 2022

    Do any entrepreneurs actually like bookkeeping?

    I did meet an Amazon seller in Vancouver who did, but he's a freak.

    Unfortunately, this fear of books often causes HUGE financial problems.

    Especially for ecommerce businesses that deal with long cash cycles, payment processing fees, and thousands of transactions.

    I sat down my friend Nathan Hirsch to ask him everything ecom entrepreneurs MUST know to avoid a cash flow crisis.

    He outlined how to find & work with an ecom bookkeeper and understand your brand's profitability at a glance.

    Don't wait for a cash flow crisis to learn how to interpret your books.

    Want the video? Comment the number from 1-10 that best represents how much you hate bookkeeping and I'll DM it to you.

    Nathan is offering 1 free month of bookkeeping for the Kenji audience. Reach out to Nathan's company Ecom Balance here.

  • What makes an Amazon Account Sellable? (for 6 figures) with Greg Elfrink
    Jul 15 2022

    Amazon businesses are among the most "sellable" types of business in 2022. Huge investment firms are acquiring multiple brands per month at 6, 7, and 8 figure payouts.

     

    But lots of the aggregators have been laying off employees and slowing down acquisitions.

     

    Have the golden days of selling Amazon accounts passed us by?

     

    According to Greg Elfrink, yes and no. A good Amazon account will still get a crazy multiple, but one that's making these mistakes will have a harder time selling.

     

    Unfortunately, a lot of Amazon sellers don't realize they're cannibalizing their future business sale multiple.

     

    In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, we dive into everything you need to ensure your business can sell for the most money possible, no matter what the market is doing.

  • This Simple Kickstarter Plan Raised $7 Million
    Jun 22 2022

    Crowdfunding isn't just for crazy inventions anymore. My buddy Vance has been doing six-figure launches with regular products easily available on Amazon.

    Most e-commerce brand owners misunderstand the REAL value of Kickstarter. It's evolved a lot since 2009.

    Everyone from small startups to big-name brands are building massive audiences through their campaigns. Audiences they own and can sell to forever (unlike Amazon customers).

    They're launching products with zero risk and taking the strain off their cash flow by getting paid FIRST instead of 45-90 day cash cycles.

    In e-commerce, cash is king, and Vance's $7 million Kickstarter strategy is the most effective way I've seen to free more of it up.

    This episode could literally save you from bankruptcy, and at the very least will give you a massive leg up on your competitors on Amazon.

    Watch/ listen to the podcast here:

    Kenji Exclusive: Kickstarter Launch for Amazon Sellers Workshop (free)

    I was so impressed during my conversation with Vance, I convinced him to put together a special workshop just for you guys.

    It's a 1-off live workshop going into Kickstarter launches specifically for Amazon Sellers. I'll be there, Vance will be there, and we're encouraging interaction from you guys as well.

    Those who need more hands-on help will have the opportunity to work further with Vance, but this is not a sales pitch-loaded workshop, everyone will walk away with super valuable strategies they can implement themselves to make their own six-figure Kickstarter launch.

  • Tricks to Get Amazon Shoppers to BUY by Danny Carlson
    Apr 29 2022
    Why do shoppers buy or NOT buy your product on the Amazon marketplace? Most FBA sellers have some ideas, but they don’t really know.Truth is, most shoppers aren’t even sure why themselves!There is so much information being processed subconsciously that if you as a seller don’t understand it, you’ll miss out on thousands per month in sales.This presentation was originally given by myself (Danny Carlson) at White Label Expo London 2022, and I’ve recorded a higher quality version for all of you in internet land which you can check out! What we’ll coverHow to capture the attention of Amazon shoppers so you can sell products  How to KEEP that attention until they complete purchase Actionable steps you can take to improve sales on your product listingsWhy do Amazon Shoppers Buy? (or not)It’s important to get inside the mind of your customers so you can optimize your Amazon listings to sell more effectively.They don’t necessarily know WHY they buy. It’s based on subconscious thoughts. They often buy on gut feelingProcessing dozens of data points subconsciously There are different types of shoppers that make buying decisions differentlyProduct expert vs. naiveReaders vs. VisualInsta-buy vs. compare to the death Don’t exclude any of these customer types. Have great images, copywriting, videos, etc to cover them all.Visuals are Processed 60,000 x Faster in the Brain Than TextImages are the most important part of your Amazon listing optimization.It takes your brain just 13 milliseconds to process 1 img2 seconds of viewing an image is equivalent to reading 30,000 wpmMy reading speed is 400 wpm…You can SHOW an incredible amount of information much faster than you can explain it using text or audio. The Brain Evolved with Images, Language is NewWritten language is only 5000 years old. The brain is not naturally evolved to use language.You have to learn it for years as a child before you’re good at it, but visuals are understood by toddlers.Visuals are understood across languagesConclusion: Show all key product info just within the images But don’t exclude the readers!How to capture the attention of more Amazon shoppersIt doesn’t matter how good your product page is if no one clicks on it. You are selling the click, not the product Increasing Click Through Rate by just 0.1% can translate to $1000s Be the best option relative to the competitionMain Image Optimization for Amazon ProductsYour main image on Amazon is your visual first impression, and the better it is, the more shoppers will click on your product instead of competitors. Clearly communicate what the product is. Ask “how can I make it visually obvious?”Strikingly stand out when put next to other options on search resultsFollow Amazon’s image guidelines (optional)Very bright, professional studio lightingFill the maximum amount of given spaceTitle Optimization on Amazon ListingsYour title on Amazon is also important to your click-through rate, but should also be well optimized for the right search terms.Clearly communicate the most key info about your productHave your main keyword phrases in exact match, but not at the expense of making key info difficult to find within a messy titleReviews and Price: Do They Matter?They definitely do! I won’t go into that here because as Amazon sellers, we have less control over these than we do on the images and keywords for example.Just keep in mind that the more reviews, the better, and the better your price is compared to other options, the better.How to KEEP Customer Attention Until They BuyOtherwise known as “conversion rate.” The higher the percentage of shoppers that view your product page and end up buying, the higher it will be.You as a brand owner have a skewed view of what’s cool about your product (No one cares your water bottle can also be a paperweight.) Don’t waste attention spans on anything that’s not the key info that will give them the confidence your product is the one right for themUse all the tools available: A+ Content description, Amazon listing video, Amazon Brand Storefront, Amazon product photographyInstead of having all white background images with a bunch of text, how can you SHOW this information without words? IconsLifestyle imagesMake them intentional and focused on showing Key InfoKey TakeawaysJust one of these things can increase sales permanently Every time you shop on Amazon, analyze your own thoughts Know your customer better than they know themselves
