Introduction
Hey, what's going on, guys? Marvin here, and welcome back to another video! In this article, we'll be diving into some of the most frequently asked questions about Amazon FBA and making money in general. If you have any in-depth questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below, and I'll do my best to answer them in the next Q&A video. Let's get started!
1. How to Get the ASIN for Your Product
🔍 **Question:** Muhammad asks, "How do we get the ASIN for our product?"
To find the ASIN of your product and add it to your inventory within Seller Central, follow these steps:
1. Go to the listing of the product you want to sell.
2. Look at the URL and find the highlighted blue text, which is the ASIN.
3. Copy the ASIN and add the product to your inventory page within Seller Central.
2. Packaging Requirements for FBA Products
📦 **Question:** How do I check the required packaging for a product before FBA?
To determine the packaging requirements for your product, follow these steps:
1. Go to Seller Central.
2. Look up the packaging requirements for different product categories.
3. Based on your product type, you'll get a rough idea of the packaging needed.
- For example, video games usually require little to no prep, while fragile glass objects may need more extensive packaging.
3. Finding Quality Distributors
🔍 **Question:** Nick asks, "How do you go about finding quality distributors?"
Finding quality distributors can be done using various methods. Here are a few ways to get started:
1. Check out my playlist on finding name brand suppliers for free methods.
2. If you want more advanced techniques, consider enrolling in my course.
- Note: Finding suppliers is just one piece of the puzzle. You need to learn all aspects of the Amazon wholesale business for success.
4. Addressing Shipping to FBA Warehouse
📦 **Question:** What address do we send to the supplier to ship to the FBA warehouse, and how do we find it?
You won't know which warehouse to ship your products to until you create a shipping plan within Seller Central. Follow these steps:
1. Communicate with your supplier and place the order.
2. Create a shipping plan for that order within Seller Central.
3. On the second-to-last page of the shipping plan, you'll find the warehouse address.
4. Approve the shipment and download the shipping label on the last page to send to your supplier.
5. Finding Profitable Products without UPC Codes
💡 **Question:** How can we find profitable products manually if suppliers don't provide a price list or UPC codes?
While manually finding products can be time-consuming, it can also be highly profitable. If your supplier doesn't provide a UPC list, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the list of products from your supplier.
2. Manually enter the product titles into Amazon and conduct thorough research.
- This process takes time but can lead to discovering profitable products that others might overlook.
6. The Future of the Wholesale Model
🔮 **Question:** Will the wholesale model disappear in the future due to brands selling directly on Amazon?
The wholesale model is here to stay, and brands selling directly on Amazon won't make it obsolete. While some brands may choose to sell directly, many prefer working with distributors who can resell their products on the platform. Adapting and building partnerships with brands can still be highly valuable.
