Many people get hung up, never giving an online
business or private label sales a go simply because they think they
don’t have enough money. Today’s story should dispel all the myths
floating around that say that you have to have a lot of cash to get
started online. Ken is a regular guy who found a way to leverage
$65 into $1,100 in profit in just 90 days and now has begun his own
private label business that is doing very well. Even more
incredible is a new service he’s begun to help Amazon sellers get
their products handled for them. It’s an amazing story of ingenuity
and drive that anyone can do, and you’re going to hear all the
details on this episode of The Amazing Seller.
Retail arbitrage as a foot in the door.
 
Ken is a normal guy just like many of the TAS
listeners. He spent a good deal of time listening to podcasts
(including this one), learning about online business opportunities,
and deciding to start generating a little bit of income by selling
books through retail arbitrage on Amazon. Those steps enabled him
to get some cash coming in to begin looking toward his own private
label products. What happened for Ken can happen for anyone who is
willing to do the work to make it happen. It’s a great example of
hard work and action taking, so be sure you listen to Ken’s
exciting story.
 
He found an amazing opportunity on
Craigslist.
 
Ken was scrolling through the online classified
site Craigslist one day and found a lot of discontinued or closeout
stickers that he thought sounded interesting. He took a chance and
bought all 1000 sticker packets for $65. It was that $65 investment
that he was able to sell on Amazon for a profit of $1,100. It’s an
example of how there are opportunities everywhere, you just have to
know how to look for them and take advantage of them. It happens by
taking action. Ken tells his story and gives some excellent tips on
this episode.

As Ken has built his Amazon private label
business he’s seen requests for good shippers, agents, repackaging
services, and much more repeatedly in the private label communities
he frequents. And having never seen good answers to some of those
questions he decided to create his own company to meet those needs.
It’s a company that provides receipt and shipping inspection,
inventory and measurements, quality inspection, FBA preparation,
Vendor materials, repackaging and shipment services, and a whole
lot more. Ken’s offering a special discount to TAS listeners so be
sure you pay attention to the end of the show to hear how you can
get some free services from his company.
