When Anne started her journey she had zero eCommerce experience. Today, she has a 7-figure Amazon business. Let's dive in and find out how she went from broke to a millionaire!
How did you get started selling on Amazon? What kind of success have you been able to create?
I started selling on Amazon in 2017. At the time, I was pregnant with my second baby and became a single mom shortly thereafter. It's fair to say that I was struggling financially. A friend of mine posted something about selling on Amazon and going through ASM.
The moment that I watched the ASM intro videos I knew that I had to take action.
I couldn't afford to pay for the course at the time, so I borrowed money from my mom. That didn't feel good in my soul. However, it created a hunger to dive into the course and go all-in. Before I started selling on Amazon I had no marketing or retail experience.
In my previous job, I was a corporate lawyer. That's the one thing that I love about ASM. The course guides you through one step at a time. I found it easy to understand.
Before I started ASM, I read Napoleon Hills' book, Think and Grow Rich. I consider this book to be an entrepreneur's bible. Inside his book, he has you write down your financial goals.
I thought to myself, “If I was taking home $10,000 per month, that would be amazing.”
After reflecting upon this, I calculated that I would need to be selling $50,000 per month on Amazon to make that happen. I wanted to accomplish this goal in 2 years. It only took me 7 months. Within 18 months, I hit 7-figures in sales. It blew my mind. It's been an amazing journey thus far.
What are the biggest things that contributed to your single mom success story?
I followed ASM, step-by-step. My lack of experience ended up being a bonus for me — I just did what they told me to do!
I sell in the baby niche. My customers are very similar to myself, how I live my life, and the types of products that I use. Thus, I know how to effectively communicate with my customers. That helped me in the creation of my Amazon listing and with doing customer service.
Are you only selling on Amazon, or do you sell on your website as well?
I have 22 variations of one product and I have another line of products that are being made in the US right now. That's what I'm currently working on. My primary sales vehicle is Amazon but I also sell on Etsy and my website.
Shifting from Amazon to Shopify is easy.
However, if you start on Amazon you want to clarify what your brand story is. If you want to sell on your website you have to have a lot more of those brand assets. The ads that you're going to run have to be able to grab people's attention and tell a story.
How do you drive sales right now?
When it comes to selling on Amazon, I'm driving sales through Amazon PPC ads. The training available inside ASM is great for teaching you how to do PPC. On my website, most of my traffic comes from Facebook and Instagram ads.
The social platform that I spend the most time on is Instagram because my product is ‘Instagrammable'. People get overwhelmed by social media. Choose 1-2 social media platforms and focus your attention on those. Once you're successful enough, you can hire other people to manage multiple social media accounts for you.
How has your business done since the pandemic?
When the full lockdown happened Amazon's head exploded. From a logistical perspective, this has been a difficult year to sell on Amazon. However, after the first few months, I figured out ways to get around it by using a third-party warehouse.
I sent my products to the warehouse, and the warehouse then sent them to Amazon.
Once those initial issues were sorted out, sales went up. It lit a fire in my belly to start my new line of products. An online business has given me so much freedom to live life on my terms.
What do you see as the opportunity for eCommerce?
Amazon and eCommerce are going to skyrocket. Even as things are opening up again, people are always going to be more cautious. A lot of stores have closed their brick-and-mortar stores due to the pandemic.
Everyone has gotten into the habit of buying everything online. Thus, it's an amazing time to start selling on Amazon. When you're first starting, my advice would be to consider your branding as well as your products. All of the big changes that Amazon has made to their platform in the last few years has been to allow brands to showcase their brand story.
After you start having success on Amazon, it's a good idea to start selling on your website.
That being said, if you don't have previous eCommerce experience, selling on Amazon is the best place to start. An Amazon listing is much easier to make versus a full website and all of the creative content that you need for your ads.
Also, the Amazon ads platform is really easy to understand. The new content that is coming out of ASM is amazing. Even though I joined ASM7 four years ago, I can still get access to the most up-to-date course materials. Being able to watch the new versions of the course is an invaluable resource for an Amazon seller.
What advice would you give to someone just starting?
There is a better life out there for you if you fight for it. You don't have to settle for a 9 to 5 job that you hate. If you're interested in selling on Amazon, commit, and go all-in. Believe that you can do it.
You don't need the technical skills to do this business effectively. You can learn those skills.
The question is, “Do you have the drive and the resilience to keep going, despite whatever obstacles you will face?” If you believe that you are worthy of achieving success, you will be successful.
What I love about ASM is that you're not just watching 15 hours of course content. They tell you how to do something, and then you go and do it. You learn one small thing and then take the next step. By Module 6, you've got your listing live on Amazon! As long as you take action you'll find success.
