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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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!

• How 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 listings

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 feeling
  • Processing dozens of data points subconsciously
     
• There are different types of shoppers that make buying decisions differently
  • Product expert vs. naive
  • Readers vs. Visual
  • Insta-buy vs. compare to the death
     

Don’t exclude any of these customer types. Have great images, copywriting, videos, etc to cover them all.

Images are the most important part of your Amazon listing optimization.

• It takes your brain just 13 milliseconds to process 1 img
• 2 seconds of viewing an image is equivalent to reading 30,000 wpm
• My reading speed is 400 wpm…

You can SHOW an incredible amount of information much faster than you can explain it using text or audio. 

• Written 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 languages

Conclusion: Show all key product info just within the images But don’t exclude the readers!

• It 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 competition

Your 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.
 

1. Clearly communicate what the product is. Ask “how can I make it visually obvious?”
2. Strikingly stand out when put next to other options on search results
3. Follow Amazon’s image guidelines (optional)
4. Very bright, professional studio lighting
5. Fill the maximum amount of given space

Your 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 product
• Have your main keyword phrases in exact match, but not at the expense of making key info difficult to find within a messy title

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.

Otherwise 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 them
• Use all the tools available: A+ Content description, Amazon listing video, Amazon Brand Storefront, Amazon product photography

Instead of having all white background images with a bunch of text, how can you SHOW this information without words? 

• Icons
• Lifestyle images

Make them intentional and focused on showing Key Info

• Just 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

Amazon Ads are getting more competitive, but new tactics are emerging while Amazon releases new types of ads more & more.

Born in Lima, Peru. Started a career in sales at a very young age. Later moved to the US and started working for Apple. In 2015 left a promising career in Silicon Valley to follow his dream of growing his own company. Found early success in the Amazon Selling industry and it was then that AMZ Clever, a full-service Amazon management agency, was born. In 2017 moved to China to grow a brand presence in Asia. In early 2020 moved to Bali, Indonesia where he lived the “tropical nomad” lifestyle. Daniel has spoken at several E-commerce and Amazon Selling events in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Netherlands, and Canada. After several successful years in Asia, he now lives in Virginia, USA where he currently runs a 7-figure agency with team members around the world.

We've all heard how combined, Amazon's European marketplaces are equal in size to Amazon US. That's no small amount of revenue up for grabs.

But you've likely also heard horror stories.

• 20% taxes
• Strict customs regulations
• Stuck shipments
• GDPR, and other acronyms that give us headaches.

 That's what has kept thousands of successful American brands from expanding internationally.

But if it's really so difficult to expand to Amazon Europe, why are so many brands of all sizes finding success there? 

From 8 figure supplements brands to 1 product startups, Amazon Sellers are increasing their revenue by selling the same products to more people in more countries. And it's probably easier than you've been led to believe.

We brought on expert in all things international e-commerce Rael Lowenthal to give us the playbook for quick, easy, and low-risk expansion from US to EU marketplaces.

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast:

• How to test European markets by risking less than $1000
• Why "good debt" is a key pillar for fast-growing Amazon sellers
• How to avoid dumb mistakes with legal compliance in multiple foreign countries
• VAT broken down into easily understood terms (for non-lawyers, ex. regular people)

You can reach out to Rael and his team at zee.co to inquire about help with anything to do with expansion to European marketplaces on Amazon. VAT setup, importer of record (IOR), customs compliance, stuck shipments, or international freight.

In simple terms, it's a government's way of ensuring that every foreign brand has a domestic company that will take responsibility for ensuring proper compliance with local import regulations. 

You can't import into many countries in Europe without a local company acting as your importer of record or IOR. 

It makes sense when you think about all the black-hat Chinese sellers who were blatantly ignoring VAT regulations. The governments have little power over bad-actors in other countries. By making an IOR mandatory, there's at least a local company who must take responsibility for illegal activity if the company they are representing is breaking laws or failing to pay their fair share.

VAT is short for Value Added Tax, and is the big scary 20% (ish) tax that Amazon sellers have nightmares about. At first it sounds complicated, but once you understand how it works it's not as bad as it seems. 

It varies by country and we highly recommend working with a company to help you ensure correct compliance.

"The European Union value-added tax (or EU VAT) is a value added tax on goods and services within the European Union (EU). The EU's institutions do not collect the tax, but EU member states are each required to adopt a value added tax that complies with the EU VAT code. Different rates of VAT apply in different EU member states, ranging from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary."

There's few feelings more helpless than going out of stock on Amazon while your inventory sits in a Chinese port.

Unfortunately that's the situation many Amazon sellers are facing in Q4 2021.

Some brands have found creative solutions to these crippling issues.

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, Ivan Torlopov shares:

✅ A creative, time-saving shipping strategy most people don't know is an option

✅ How big brands are minimizing damage from the massive shipping fee increases

Did you know that Amazon's EU marketplaces together are equal in sales to the US market now?

The US is still king, but Amazon is growing much faster in their foreign marketplaces & it's becoming impossible to ignore.

But so many brand owners make embarrassing mistakes localizing their listings. Don't make the mistake so many Chinese sellers make with poor translations, weird wording, and assuming their images will work well overseas.

Even between the US, UK, and Australia the spelling of many words is different, making keyword localization super important.

The conversion rate difference between localized and non-localized listings can mean thousands, even tens of thousands per month more revenue.

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, host Danny Carlson digs into Omar Angri's deep knowledge of Amazon Listing Localization from his agency Margin Business. They've been focused specifically on this problem for years and have a team of more than 20 tackling the issue.

The 10 figure unicorn is a very rare company, even rarer as a teenager. But that's exactly what Shaahin Cheyene accomplished before his 20th birthday!

And he did it before Facebook ads even existed.

His supplement brand touting a "legal but barely" supplement blew up across the US, going viral in mass media and exploding demand.

Now a grown man in his 40's Shaahine has built multiple successful brands and is highly focused on the Amazon marketplace.

What lessons did he learn from his meteoric rise to a billion, and how does he implement them in his brands today?

And what was it like as a teenager making more money than the GDP of a small city?

Can spiritual practices help you grow your business faster?

If you're like most online entrepreneurs I know, you've dabbled in spiritual practices like meditation to help grow your business.

Gone are the days when all things spiritual are dismissed as "crazy hippie stuff" and today it's rare to find an Amazon seller who doesn't have some type of spiritual practice.

Personally, spiritual development has been a key part of growing as an entrepreneur. I simply couldn't have broken through my mental barriers and insecurities to grow a 7 figure company without it.

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom podcast, we're thinking outside the "Amazon FBA" box and diving into spirituality with Ryan Cropper, a YouTuber with a 200k subscriber channel who teaches about advanced spiritual techniques.

Even though this podcast is about Amazon, when my favorite spiritual YouTuber arrived in Bali I couldn't pass up the opportunity to interview him at my villa!

• How to get past the "woo-woo" and extract the business benefits from spiritual practices
• How to be spiritual without developing "Spiritual Superiority Syndrome"
• What the world-famous Bali spiritual community is like from 2 location independent online business owners.

Driving external traffic to Amazon products has always been tough, but in 2021, it's practically a requirement to succeed.

Manychat bots have new restrictions, Facebook Ads is losing effectiveness, and Amazon Attribution has been released to the masses.

So what is the best external traffic strategy for Amazon in 2021?

Alex Czechowski from Helium 10 has been neck deep in this transformation, and part of the team building their new tool that is studying this evolution.

On this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast with Danny Carlson, we go into what the most effective strategies are today for boosting the visitors to your product pages, ultimately leading to more sales.

You don't need me to tell you that launching a new product to page 1 on Amazon is getting harder and harder these days.

Not only is the Amazon algorithm constantly getting more and more sophisticated...

But the increasingly large number of Amazon sellers are getting craftier as well.

What works today might be obsolete 6 months down the line...

Thankfully, Brendon Fields joins us on this episode of the podcast who is an expert on product launch strategies.

In the episode we go over:

✔️ Why rebates might be one of the most powerful launch strategies in 2021

✔️ How to successfully run a rebate launch strategy the right way (and avoid losing thousands of $$$ from scams)

✔️ How you can get a leg up on the competition as Brandon shares his predictions for how product launch strategies will evolve in the future

If you are an Amazon seller continually looking to stay on top of Amazon's ever-changing landscape, this episode is for you!

YouTuber with more than 250k subscribers Mike Vestil shares one of the darkest periods of his entrepreneurial journey...

A series of obstacles including losing $20k per day on Facebook Ads, getting $5k+ worth of camera gear stolen, and going all-in on a new business venture that failed left him re-thinking his life direction.

Then he met a millionaire in Bali that heard his story, and told him to meditate for 4hrs every day.

Mike took his advice and has manifested his online business success once again.

Ask any business owner what is the number 1 issue when growing your business...

All of them will say: lack of capital. 💰

For Amazon Sellers, there are a variety of options for people looking to get funding...

Loans, credit cards, factoring... heck even Amazon itself has some options they encourage people to look at.

But, there are are BIG problems with these traditional methods...

1. High-interest payments. ❌
2. Large monthly payments required (even during bad months). ❌
3. You may have to give up some equity. ❌

Enter Accrue Me.

Founded by Rob Stanley and Don Henig, Accrue Me is an Amazon funding company that eliminates a lot of these headaches.

Instead of collecting monthly payments or charging interest, Accrue Me makes money by earning a percentage of your profits.

"But what if I don't make a profit this month?", you ask.

In that case, Accrue Me earns nothing. They only make money when you make money.

The best part? Only pay when you want to. 😲

In this episode, Rob and Don walk Danny through their entire business model, how they got started, and the criteria they use to evaluate whether or not they will invest in an Amazon business.

As entrepreneurs, things usually don't go according to plan at the beginning... 😔

And when nothing is going your way, it's tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Is this journey even worth it?", you ask yourself.

Now imagine you were half a million dollars in debt, and you had failed 10+ different businesses up till this point...

You've never had a real job...

You have zero savings...

And your partner has left you, writing you off as a lost cause.

This is exactly the roadblock Jeff Lerner faced.

He knew he had to do something to get himself out of that hole... and fast.

So that's when he turned to starting online businesses...

Fast forward to today, and he now owns not 1...

Not 2...

But multiple 8-figure businesses! 💰

None of this would have happened if he had given up back then.

It just goes to show...

You've never fully failed until you've given up! 😤

In this podcast, Jeff spills the details to exactly how he pulled himself back up...

As well as the mindset needed to really succeed as an entrepreneur.

Launching and ranking a new product can be one of the most daunting tasks on Amazon.

You've got your standard giveaways, Manychat, PPC...

All of which are not cheap and take a while to show results.

But what if there was a way to launch without having to rely on these slow and expensive methods? 🤔

Jordan West does just that--he launches new products all the time, consistently bringing in over $100k+ in 24 hours after release.

In fact, for one launch... he sold $250k in under 24 hours!! 😲

And you know what the kicker is?

He did it all without spending a 💰 dime 💰 on ads, or having any discounts!

Want to find out his secret strategy? 🤫

Check out the latest episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, where Jordan goes in depth about his entrepreneurial background, his expertise in Facebook ads, and most importantly...

🚀 His secret strategy to selling $100k+ within 24 hours of launching! 🚀

Ever since Kevin Urrutia was young, he always knew he wanted to build something.

After learning programming to build his own websites, he wanted to surround himself with like-minded people to expedite his growth. 🌱

So, he ended up getting a job at the Mecca of coding--Silicon Valley.

Now, most people would have called it quits right there...

"I made it! I got a high-paying job in an in-demand field... what more could I want?"

But Kevin was just getting started! 🔥🔥🔥

From there he went on to start multiple 7+ figure businesses, (including some on Amazon), one after the other.

Along the way, however, he made many mistakes... 😨

But each time, he managed to bounce back and learn from them!

After all, our biggest lessons come from our biggest mistakes. 💪

In this podcast, Kevin condenses years and years of learning into one 30 minute episode...

In it he shares his wisdom about:

1. When to let someone else run your company.
2. How to hire the best people (step by step criteria).
3. How to adjust practices as your company grows.

And so much more!

Scaling a business takes constant reinvestment, & this rings even more true with Amazon FBA ecommerce brands.

Lack of access to capital can mean the death a new brand, or at least greatly slow it's growth. When an Amazon business is really taking off is exactly when you need capital the most!

Jack McColl is a serial entrepreneur that has grown multiple 6 & even 7 figure businesses using capital that he acquired through "debt hacking."
 

Basically he games the credit system in a way where he has more than $300k in lines of credit and doesn't pay any interest!

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, Jack breaks down the strategies he uses to access massive credit and fund new businesses.

Including an Amazon FBA brand that will hit 7 figures in it's very first year.

Does TikTok marketing work for Amazon? Well if 10,000 unit sales in 1 day means it “works” then yes.

Using TikTok influencers to promote your Amazon FBA products is totally uncharted territory, and most brands aren’t using TikTok at all.

But Scott Needham has sold more than $350 million on Amazon over his career, and is now benefitting from a viral TikTok with more than 2 million views that had his warehouse staff working overtime just to ship the orders.

How did Scott deal with this insane volume? And what is he going to do to replicate this in the future?

Is TikTok marketing for Amazon the new blue ocean strategy for 2021?

Creating a unique food brand and selling it with Amazon subscribe and save is the holy grail of recurring Amazon FBA sales.

But isn't it expensive & complex to design & manufacture a food product with all the right certifications?

Not according to Performance Nut Butter's founder Travis Marziani!

In this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast, we talk about how simple and cheap it really is to bring a new consumable food product to Amazon.

Travis shares his "must have" checklist when designing new products to bring to market.

Cracking the code on Amazon PPC Ads can be the difference between page one domination & liquidating your inventory.

Reality is, Amazon is closer to winner take all than "sharing the love" & nowhere is that more apparent than the super-competitive "health supplements" category.

Mina Elias is a 7 figure Amazon Seller that has paid his dues in the Amazon Ads arena., and in this episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast he shares what he learned from spending thousands on high CPC ads for supplements.

While most Amazon Sellers stay far away from competitive categories, Mina Elias jumped in head fist, testing and tweaking until he found a formula that works.

See exactly how he optimized his Amazon PPC for supplements without burning all his cash in his interview with Danny Carlson, CEO of Kenji ROI.

Amazon FBA gurus love to post screenshots of their revenue numbers, but without good margins that screenshot is nothing but a stroke of the ego.

Luckily there are tech companies constantly innovating and enabling more efficiencies for Amazon sellers. One of those companies is Payoneer, and Ben Stein comes on to talk about their innovations that allow Amazon FBA sellers to keep their margins higher.

Chances are you're paying more than you have to for foreign currency wires, international payments to manufacturers, or receiving payments from Amazon. Traditional banks are almost always more expensive.

So watch the episode of the Actualize Freedom Podcast to see how smart ecommerce sellers are keeping profits high in 2021 and beyond.

Amazon shoppers that have a 6 star experience are the ones who leave 5 star reviews.

Most Amazon Sellers know that split testing your main image can increase click-through & conversion rates by crucial percentage points.

But not many are using Amazon split testing before their product even launches!
