    Setting Up for Profitable Success with Tyler Jefcoat, Ep. #160

    As we head into a new year, it can be a great time to reflect on the past year and make plans for the new year. When analyzing your year, it is important to take a deep dive into what worked and what didn't, especially with your numbers. After all, we are running a business to make money and to help discuss some important things to think about with having a more profitable business, I am excited to welcome back Tyler Jefcoat from Seller Accountant.   Connect with Tyler Return On Podcast SellerAccountant.com Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Options to Successfully Manage PPC Costs with Michael Erickson Facchin, Ep. #159

    Managing PPC campaigns on Amazon is one of the most effective methods to drive sales.  If done well, it can be extremely profitable, but if not done well, it can also be an absolute drain on your profits. The other challenge is that as you grow, it can become incredibly time-consuming, but the good news is that there are many options to help you run your ad campaigns more effectively (and free up your time to focus on other important activities). In this episode, Michael Erickson Facchin from AdBadger comes on to discuss different ways that sellers can better manage their ads.   Connect with Michael AdBadger PPC Den Podcast LinkedIn   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Optimal Pricing Strategies with Ali Babul, Ep. #158

    Do you have the right price for your product?  It can have a huge effect on your profitability and how many units you sell.  Sounds easy enough to pick your price and make sure that you have the margins leftover (and the market will support people buying at that price). The reality is that there is a lot that can go into successful pricing strategies, and I am excited to welcome Ali Babul from Trellis to discuss.   Connect with Ali Trellis LinkedIn   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Recurring Revenue in Ecommerce with John Roman, Ep. #157

    One of the most overlooked ways to grow your sales in any business is to sell more of your existing products.  The holy grail is often to get customers to sign up for a subscription with consistent, recurring revenue. If you are wondering how, I am excited to bring on John Roman who has a successful subscription box business, and he will share what he has learned in building a community of raving fan customers.   Connect with John Online Queso LinkedIn   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

They developed an amazing 7-figure brand with a strong international presence, and in the past year, they have decided to diversify their revenue by reselling products they purchase wholesale.

    Growing with Wholesale Bundles with Kristin Ostrander, Ep. #154

    One of the hardest parts of selling on Amazon is figuring out what to sell.  Many people think that you must fall either in the brand owner or the reseller camp.  On this episode, my guest, Kristin Ostrander from Mommy Income comes on to discuss how she basically mixes the best of both worlds using wholesale bundles. If you are looking for ways to find more products to sell (or new ways to offer the products you already sell), you will want to check out this episode.   Connect with Kristin Mommy Income   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Merchant Fulfilled Prime (FBA Alternatives) with Manish Chowdhary, Ep. #153

    Over the last few years, Amazon has thrown a few curveballs at sellers with inventory restrictions and sometimes conflicting metrics with FBA inventory.  Going into the Q4 of 2022, many sellers have had their allowable inventory levels cut by half (or more). This has made looking into additional fulfillment options more important.  I had the opportunity to be on a panel about inventory and logistics at Surge Summit with my guest, Manish Chowdhary. Manish runs a network of warehouses that can provide seller-fulfilled prime and could be a great potential option for some sellers.  At the time we recorded this episode, we didn't know Amazon was going to cut inventory restock levels as much as they did…   Connect with Manish Cahoot.ai LinkedIn Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Using Airtable to Manage Your Business with Barak Almog, Ep #151

In this episode, we welcome Barak Almog from Seller Frame to the podcast because he is an absolute whiz with Airtable.  We geeked out on Airtable, but if you are a beginner to this software tool, don't let our enthusiasm intimidate you.  It is a simple program to use!   Connect with Barak Barak's Airtable Base (click "Copy Base") Sign up for a Free Airtable Account LinkedIn Facebook Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Data Driven Ways to Find Profitable Products in 2022 with Izabella Ritz, Ep #150

That is why I am excited to welcome Izabella Ritz to share unique, data-driven ways to find products.  Generally, I am not surprised by the ideas people come up with for product research, but Izabella shared some ways that I had never heard of or thought about.   Connect with Izabella Ritz Momentum LinkedIn Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    When to Bulk Up or Cut Down Your PPC Campaigns with Mina Elias, Ep #146

    Over the last couple of years, I have gotten to know Mina Elias from Trivium, and he developed a unique and respected perspective on Amazon PPC campaigns.  On this episode of the podcast, he comes on to discuss what he has learned.

    From Air Force to Exit of 7-Figure Seller Business with Reggie Young, Ep #145

    I had the opportunity to chat with today's guest when he was spending half of his time underground as an officer in the US Air Force.  At the time, he had the ability to push a button that could start WWIII and was trying to get traction on his business. He has developed quite the success story, and he now has had a big exit on what became a successful 7-figure business.   In this episode, Reggie Young shares what he has learned along the way going from a low point (literally and metaphorically) to an enviable success story…   Connect with Reggie Reggie's Website Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Increase the Results of Your Amazon Funnel with Steven Pope, Ep #144

    Your funnel on Amazon breaks down into three basic variables: Impressions, Clicks, and Purchases.  Recently, Amazon has added Add To Cart as another variable to start keeping an eye on. In this episode, Steven Pope comes on to share what he calls the ICAP funnel on Amazon, and he shares a case study using some fairly new reports. This episode does get a bit technical, but you will learn some helpful insights into how increasing your results at each step of the funnel will lead to higher sales (and profits).   Connect with Steven YouTube LinkedIn My Amazon Guy MAG School   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Protecting Your Business Assets with Matt Lovell, Ep #143

    Having spent several years in the insurance industry, I know that insurance is one of those subjects that no one likes to talk about (but they need to). It is an uncomfortable topic because it is confusing and focuses on a bunch of what-ifs and potentially bad things that you hope never happen. With that said, I have seen how people have been saved by their insurance policy when something goes wrong, and others who wish they had the right type of insurance and had to shell out enormous sums of money out of their own pocket. In eCommerce, you can get a policy, and the insurance company will gladly take your money.  BUT if the policy isn't structured correctly, you could be rejected if, God forbid, something bad happened that caused you to need to actually use your policy. That is why I am excited to bring on Matt Lovell from Well Insurance, and Matt has been my agent for 5 years.   Connect with Matt Well Insurance   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Saving Time and Money Using Amazon PPC Bulk Files with Elizabeth Greene, Ep #142

    It can be challenging to stay on top of your Amazon PPC campaigns.  There is so much to stay on top of, and information coming from several different reports. Plus, there are so many screens to click through just to do simple tasks like adding a keyword or changing a bid. At one point, I was about ready to give up on PPC until I discovered bulk files.  They have the information you need in one place, and once you get the hang of them, they can cut it down to just a fraction of the amount of time it takes for the campaign manager.  (And it is a completely free tool) To help you get the hang of bulk files (or get tips on how to better manage your campaigns with them), I am excited to bring on Elizabeth Greene who is an absolute whiz at bulk files (or Bulk Operations Templates as they are more officially known).   Connect with Elizabeth Junglr LinkedIn   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    Financing Ecommerce Growth with Jacob Schwartz, Ep #127

    Cash is the lifeblood of a business, and I have found that you never truly understand all that goes into managing the cash of a business until you are in the thick of it.  Especially in the holiday season, cash can be a constraint with the need to buy holiday stock levels, supply chain issues, needing to reload before Chinese New Year, and then tax season… There are lots of ways to fund growth and keeping the engine of your business humming along.  In this episode, I brought on Jacob Schwartz from Payability to discuss some options they offer. Disclosure:  Payability has been a sponsor of events that I have hosted, and their products have helped a lot of sellers.   With that said, I strongly recommend making sure that you fully understand the terms of any financial arrangement before signing on the dotted line and accepting any money.

    Preventing Amazon Catalog Problems with Vanessa Hung, Ep #126

    Overtime, many sellers find that catalog management on Amazon is one of the most underrated topics in this business.  What is in some of the fields (that you might not even know about) can have a huge effect on how the algorithm understands your listing.  This in turn can have a major effect on your ranking, and can make a difference if Amazon suspends a listing because the algorithm suddenly thinks the product is in a category with heightened compliance requirements. And as you grow, it can become tedious making changes to listings in Manage Inventory when bulk sheets can make the process quicker (once you know how to use them). That is why I am excited to bring on Vanessa Hung to talk about how you can keep a clean catalog and some tips for using bulk files.   Connect with Vanessa Online Seller Solutions  Article on Pillars of Amazon Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with Kevin Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn

    How to Sell Your Business to an Aggregator with Jeremy Bell, Elevate Brands, Ep #121

    Bookkeeping in Ecommerce Made Simple with Siddhartha Havelia and Manvi Arora, Ep #112

    One question I get frequently is about bookkeeping. Starting out you can pull a couple of reports and throw them on a spreadsheet and be ok (probably). As you get bigger and add more channels, your business becomes more complex, and so does the amount of time you have to spend on bookkeeping (especially if you have multiple currencies). I have found that unless you have a passion for accounting and have an intimate knowledge of bookkeeping software, bookkeeping is one of those things you should outsource to someone who know what to do. Oftentimes sellers will work with someone who maybe understands bookkeeping but they don't really understand ecommerce, and then they end up asking me for recommendations. I've used the same bookkeeper for over three years, and my CPA has been happy with their work (and he would definitely tell me if he wasn't). Good bookkeepers can be hard to find (especially that understand this business).  That is why I am excited to bring on Siddhartha Havelia and Manvi Aurora who do the bookkeeping for my business.  Their company, Mercurius Advisory Services, is one of the top ranked bookkeeping services on both the Amazon Service Provider Network and Upwork. Plus I find that they are good at explaining things so I brought them on for a discussion about bookkeeping and to share ways you can better manage "the books" to keep an eye on your profitability.   Connect with Siddhartha and Manvi Book a free consultation (affiliate link)
