Here is a sneak peek of my interview with Matt Clark on how to start selling on Amazon:
Why do you think that Amazon is such an attractive opportunity to people as a way to make money online?
I think it’s an easy concept for people to wrap their heads around. If you tell people, “I’m going to teach you how to go out there, build a business, and sell products that you are familiar with, like cell phone accessories, fitness products, etc.”, they get it.
These are all things that we use; it’s a business model that is easy for people to understand. People that take our course have tried Internet marketing and affiliate marketing, and it hasn’t worked. You don’t need crazy technical skills to start selling on Amazon. At the end of the day, you need to be able to think like a consumer, which is great, because we all possess that skill, because we are all consumers.
How would you address peoples’ fears, related to saturation and competition?
We have member after member who has joined our course in the past year or two that is doing very well. Amazon is getting bigger and bigger. The number of Amazon sellers isn’t growing as fast as the demand on Amazon is growing. We used to teach people a very narrow-focus approach to selling, but Amazon has grown so much that you can go for products that are less competitive, but produce just as many sales as you would have years ago going after the most competitive products. This widens the funnel and the number of products that you can go after. The number of opportunities on Amazon have gotten wider.
What are some of the biggest mistakes that you see people make when starting an Amazon business?
The biggest mistake that people make is trying to get too wide, too fast. When you start launching multiple products, you lose focus. Every new product that you launch, until it’s up and creating consistent sales, i just a cost. Inventory, time, staff, packaging, and marketing are all business expenditures.
Allow yourself to get over that hump and get to the point where one product is producing consistent sales and profit for you. Once this happens, then you can leverage your brand into multiple products.
Another mistake that people make is related to narrowing down the audience. For example, you can sell two different fitness products. They could both be great opportunities, but they are two different markets, so you don’t know who you are talking to. You need to make sure that the product that you launch after your first product really relates to your first product and your audience.
Lastly, not enough people take the time to build a relationship with their audience. If you are constantly staying in touch with people, via email or social media, then launching new products is going to be easier and people will respond better by buying more products from you.
Can you share with us a little bit about the Amazing Selling Machine?
The Amazing Selling Machine (ASM), has produced a lot of success stories. The whole purpose of our program is to get somebody from where ever they are, to building a solid, successful business and brand using our model.
In order to make this happen, we have a very step-by-step approach to our training. You watch a video and then implement those steps. By the time that you have gotten through the eight online modules, you will have built a business. We have the experience and we work our butts off to make sure that the training is always updated, because our goal is to get people actual results, as fast as possible. Amazon is always changing and our model has to do the same.
We don’t stop there. We have a private community for ASM members, comprised of people from over 100 different countries. We have mentors, which are members that have built Amazon businesses that have each made over $1 million on Amazon. They give feedback to other members and provide great answers to every single question that people have.
We also have weekly group coaching calls for people that join ASM, and we do cool events like the Amazing Seller Summit that bring Amazon sellers together to connect and inspire one another. We also have a private resource vault, comprised of a lot of cool software and tools that our members can utilize in their businesses so that you don’t have to go hunt for them online. The vault is valued at over $10,000.
This is how you start selling on Amazon. Matt and his team have graciously put together a free Amazon training series to help you get started.
