Foodstuffs would probably be the last thing to sell there.
You need the FDA cert,Lab test and etc, too complicated.

I sourced my products from China and my agent shipped it directly to Amazon warehouse.
She does the labelling, inspection and packing for a fee.


You need to watch alot of youtube videos on Amazon fba, watch atleast 2 -3 videos daily on that subject.

Do this for 2-3 months. Then you will get the general idea

Private label! Some non branded and generic items as well.

I ll juat reply other questions here as well.

I buy bulk from china send straight to forwarder in Uk. Then they send them straight to amazon warehouse.

Labelling and packing all done by my supplier in China.

Woah, if FDA is involved then health & beauty category would be our too? Then electronics should be the same too? Need some certifications that it’s safe.

What about home & living category like handy tools or toys?

The only safe category I could think off now is fashion & apparels

Go watch videos on Amazon Fba, after 3 months you come here n tell story...ok...

yeah, looks like sourcing from china is the best bet. thanks all.

Hi i've been watching ecommerce video in youtube on and off whenver i can..and agreed that most of them mentioned that product research will take the most time..some recommend dropshipping , some recommend amazon fba.. i now get headache to choose hahaha
I see that they recommend JS tool for product research?.are u using that tool as well? Some said to use helium..so for beginner if you dont mind what tool do you suggest best for beginner?

When i started i didnt use JS or Helium10, i use Amazon only and do my own research.

This tools just give you estimate its not really accurate. If you want to use, you can use Unicorn Smasher, its free.

But i am hearing good things about Helium10, maybe i will use it for later.

Remember, your first shipment to Amazon is trial and error. This is something you will learn after you started and have to experience it by executing

Great! I'm also planning to get a full version of a research tool. Which one do you recommend? Jungle scout/Amazeowl/Helium10?

Unicorn smasher stats are really off substantially if I'm not mistaken.

Helium10


One more thing, you need to sell atleast 5x your product cost to cover shipping and fees.

Thanks for the advice..
mind sharing what is the quantity you ship to warehouse for ur first trial error? And does it sold out or if not how long you keep in warehouse before u dispose?

Would like to learn more about FBA too..anyone mind sharing how to ship to their Amazon warehouse?

For a start, i ship 100 units. I used Air shipping so its quicker to reach.

Some products sold out, some product slow moving.

Your first shipment is to find your niche, so you can try send like 10-20 units each product.

I highly stressed and recommend that those who want to get into Amazon Fba business, is to watch youtube on amazon fba for a few months to get the general idea.

while u can get your items there, what makes your product stands out? ads? amazon clicks per pay?

There is alot to it. A whole new chapter which is called Product Launching.

Different sellers have different strategies but most important is to get reviews,reviews and more reviews only after your product listing is fully optimised.

for product listing fully optimised means everything from photos, title and product description must be tip top A1.

I use Amazon PPC, in order for you to advertise on amazon, you have to sub Amazon Professional Account, us39.99 monthly

Jeff Bezos is very smart guy

yes, i saw the 39.99 usd per month. just thinking is it worth to spend so much to start up. but also worry, once start in fba, will move much slower.

Fear- this is the biggest obstacle everyone faces.

US market is huge. Even i had my doubts and worry if i can sell my products but Thank God, its selling

thank you.

just few more things. do you have a full time job? do you work on amazon during day / night time?

I used to have a full time job, then i got retrenched 2 years ago.

Now no job So hopefully my Amazon biz kicks off, my target is doing atleast us10k a month on Amazon.

So are u ship your product from China as well?
