Clarity is power…so how do you get clear?

The biggest single issue mentoring clients need help with is undoubtedly confusion.

They come thinking: “I don’t know what to sell. So what I need is a product type/keyword.”

You may be feeling the same. You’re right- for now. Sadly, that is not really going to serve you in the future, though.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day;

Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

The overall process is critical. You need to know:

• What it is (and that it works – see step 1)

Our Action Steps are simple and robust – and they work:

• Niche – Define who you’re serving; find out what they want
• Source – Get a quality product that solves that need at a profit
• Launch – Attract your ideal customers & show them exactly why they should buy your product
• Measure – make meaningful measurements, ie make sense of the numbers. Your necktop computer needs to understand your laptop…

I had a returning mentoring client recently. My client, Mr. X, has had a good year with business last year. It is a brick and mortar business that relies on him, as he sells his services as opposed to a physical product. He likes the clients, but it is a lot of work, and he doesn’t want to scale it.

If you missed Part 1, head over to AmazingFBA.com/JohnC.

With Brexit on the horizon and U.S. imposing tariffs on Chinese imports, there couldn’t be a better time to expand your business to sell in Japanese on Amazon Japan. Japan offers FBA just like in the other major markets, the shipping costs from China to Japan are lower than to the US, UK or Europe, and Japan overtook the UK in 2017 to become the third largest Amazon marketplace in the world.
