To begin my Amazon Private Label journey, I first had to come up with some initial funds so that I could afford to purchase the first batch of products from my supplier. I had heard so much about retail arbitrage and how you could make money on the difference in sale prices from site to site. At the time, I searched around and decided that doing "retail arbitrage" from coupon sites like Fatwallet to Amazon was probably my best bet. I began by purchasing 5-10 items (all I could afford at the time) from FatWallet that I noticed were selling for more on Amazon. Slowly but surely, I saved the profit I made on the difference and that eventually led to me being able to afford my first Private Label FBA purchase. Exciting stuff, right?!
Now, I'm not going to sit here and bash this retail arbitrage method that's taught all over the place these days. God knows it's what helped me get my own start. But one thing my successful FBA journey has taught me is to think for myself. I genuinely believe the most important skill an Entrepreneur can have is their ability to solve problems and think for themselves. There's always going to be another problem and you're always going to have to figure a way around it. Basically, what I'm getting at is I began to think about the "old" retail arbitrage blueprint. Does is work? Yes. Can you make money? Yes. Is it an efficient way to make money? No, not at all. It's not that you can't make money doing it. It's just that it takes a long time to generate any real profit, unless of course you have a bunch of start up money to buy products in bulk already. However, if that's the case, I seriously doubt you'd be doing retail arbitrage in the first place.
I think the old RA model is a bit outdated. So I'm here to bring you a new and more profitable spin on a method that's proven to work. That spin is using the same method from FBA deal sites like Vipon and Loothoot. There are a multitude of sites out there with these deals on them. You just have to google and find them. What this model does is reduce the risk for you, but increase the profit. Win Win, right? If you're interested in learning more, you can check out my YouTube video here. 2017's our year guys!
