Q&A Selling Online - From Amazon FBA to Shopify, Digital Marketing and Facebook Ads

Stephan asked, How do I find products to sell online quickly and for free? Quin explains a neat little trick about using a very big seller and opening his store to see everything he sells. Now that you see all the products for sale at Amazon.com from this big seller, pull out your unicorn smasher Chrome extension and see what are the top sellers from this Amazon FBA seller. Don’t pick products that are on the top 100 BSR with Amazon, because those items have too many eyes on them, and other sellers are probably private labeling them as we speak. Today’s tip is brought to you by Quin Amorim, for free and sponsor free so you can listen without advertising. If you appreciate it, please subscribe and rate the podcast   Thanks  

How do I know who gave me a bad review on Amazon? Today’s question comes from Ann. Ann received a 1-star review and doesn’t know who gave her the bad review, so she can’t contact the buyer to try to fix the problem. Quin tells her how he finds his buyers using a free software that automatically tracks who bought your item and left a review. The software is called Lion Cow and can be found at lioncow.com install the chrome extension for free, go to your Amazon listing page (as a buyer) scroll down until you see all the reviews and now click the lion cow icon on your browser. The page will now have a search icon in front of the review saying “Locate order”. When you click on that it will show you the order ID and the buyer’s name.

In today’s episode, Quin will talk about how to create an Amazon buyers email list, using Facebook traffic. Start with a landing page. You can use software like Click Funnels, Lead Pages or Profit Builder. On the landing page create a product giveaway for something worth more than $100, and now create a Facebook advertising directing traffic to your landing page to opt in for a chance to win the product you are giving away. After you generate enough leads you will buy that product from Amazon and get them to ship it to the winner. Now you have your list started, so keep them warm by communicating often and giving them content and benefits.

Selling online since 1997, Quin Amorim lets us know who he is and how he achieved his online success. Born in Ontario, moved to Europe at the age of 5 (Portugal) and lived there for the next 25 years. Then, in 2006 after hearing about the great opportunities in the oil industry, took the jump and moved to Fort McMurray. My part time is creating eCommerce start-ups and online distribution channels for physical products. The passion for the online market started in the late 90’s when I started buying wholesale lots on eBay and reselling in person. Then in the early 2000’s I did my first Chinese import of pocket motorcycles and sold half a sea can worth $7200 in a few hours, I knew this idea had legs to run. Soon after I found the world of Dropshipping, where I could sell products that I didn’t yet own. This technique involved contacting Chinese manufacturers and ask for high-resolution pictures of their products, creating a website, and start selling those products in the picture. After receiving payment from the client, I would order the product and ask the manufacturer to ship to my client’s address. Fast forward a few years, after finding some great distribution channels online, I started creating my own companies (4 at the time of writing this) I sell online using my own Shopify stores, a professional Amazon account (FBA), selling on Amazon Canada, USA, UK, Germany and Japan, eBay seller account (since 1997), Walmart.com, and Jet.com I love teaching others how to achieve financial freedom, by creating passive income streams. My obsession is listening to marketing, sales, and online advertising podcasts (Thank you, James) Launching 2 of my own podcasts in 2017: – Q&A Selling Online (How to build internet empires) – Milhoes na Internet (Ecomm podcast in Portuguese) Rules I live by: – The 3-minute task – No matter how busy you are, if you have a task that can be performed in 3 minutes or less, DO IT!
