Amazon New Seller Advice and Lessons Learned: Looking back, what would you tell yourself?

[@walkinfaithnotbysight]

This is exactly what I needed after these past couple days. Thank you so much Nikki!

[@NikkiKirk]

You’re welcome!

[@laurengillespie7823]

thanks for featuring my advice!! that made my day and definitely my week

[@Queen44853]

Hi Nikki! Could you please make a video specificially about how to do the expiration labels for food products? I cant seem to find a video showing how to do those. Thank you!

[@NikkiKirk]

I don’t do anything. If the brand didn’t put one on it then I’m not going to. I didn’t make the thing or know the laws around it. On Amazon for a shipment I just make up a date a year out

[@sifisonaudesifisonaude2042]

great video!

[@Thewaywardtravellers64]

Made my first sale today! Just four hours after listing! Gonna keep pushing!

[@aliciarosas823]

I made my first sale, 1 day after posting, but it was a loss. It’s ok. I’ll keep going.

[@kpratt5960]

Thanks Nikki!! I needed a pep talk. I was getting discouraged bcz so many things are gated, no profit margin or item barcodes not recognized.

[@billtorres9880]

I'm going to take your course because want to retire early like what you are doing I want my own business, Jesus Christ is awesome. But you are a great teacher thank you, for everything, MS. Nikki Kirk

[@katygriffith9472]

I sat behind desk 40 years. I really want this to work for me.

[@animal.lover291]

Right on sister

[@mygodisable2]

Thanks Nikki, great advice and tips.

[@briahobbsroestenburg8462]

The products I prepared and packaged for shipment to Fba warehouses and the outer package measurements I pack for shipping are different from the size and weight I gave. Can I correct this information with out having to completely start over? if so how? Also, thank you for your videos! they have boosted my confidence and inspired me to keep going! once I save enough I cant wait to take your classes! ooo and get ungated!

[@TECHNOSNOBBB]

I feel like you are talking directly to me in this video Nikki 🥺 I have had my seller central account and LLC I made for about 6 months now and I have not sold much. I still am working in a cubicle and second doubting myself. Thank you for this video

[@NikkiKirk]

🖤 You got this! Keep at it while you have that job and strive for the goal to quit!

[@nicolekeenan8685]

Gold nuggets of wisdom from in the trenches! Priceless!! 🤠💥🧨🔥🔥🔥💰💸⚒

[@davestarr7112]

Great tips here, Nikki. By far the best one is, do not quit too soon. Keep on keeping on, can't wait to get going on this myself.

[@MyLooneyBin]

Literary sitting in a cubicle behind a desk working for someone else right now! 😥 we gonna make it to the top!

[@mandy1927]

How much would you put in a separate bank account to begin?

[@motleyybluee]

Have you made a step by step tutorial on how to start doing this?

[@yamileespinal6039]

Im interested in your bundle for grocery

[@dikduk]

And no matter what? If you go back to 0, you find another product or service to sell.

[@davinacuellar3121]

How did you get past all the restricted items at first? It asking for invoices. TY

[@angelakelley4859]

Awesome info!! Thanks!!

[@MBReviewsAndMore]

Hi Nikki, Can you please tell me how you would send in shoes with no box, these are hung in walmart they are the Jo Jo Siwa shoes, Can I just poly bag them?

[@dewandalee2331]

Can I start with a personal checking account and switch it later?

[@NikkiKirk]

That’s what I did, just make sure it’s all business transactions nothing else

[@crystaloferrall.creator]

Your best video Yet! Your motivation for growth motivates Me! Thank you

[@heidytl6114]

Totally agree 👍 Be an Amazon Seller is the best decision I have made, 10 months in and Im so happy with the results and the freedom Amazon give me. Amazing video, thanks 😊

[@NATESGIRL286]

Awesome video

[@Sandysandy-qp4ze]

Thank you for your honesty

[@kathyviche5186]

Thank you

[@brandonestelle6318]

Very valuable info! Thanks!

[@jonathancortez8638]

Great video!!!

[@elizabethsantiago1382]

Inspiring Nikki!

[@chromeblk08]

I’m I the only one that the Amazon Seller App scanner does not work while at a store, but works at home. So being unable to scan prevents me from seeing what I’m ungated in.

[@NikkiKirk]

It could be the internet or cell service in the store. It happens sometimes for me

[@chromeblk08]

@@NikkiKirk Thank You Nikki. I’ll look into it.

[@naturallynastachia]

But my big question is how do I sell on Amazon and not have to physically go to stores to shop?

[@NikkiKirk]

You can shop online

[@notyourtypical_ginger8925]

You mentioned to keep sending stuff in, but what if we are staring with FBM?

[@NikkiKirk]

Then keep listing inventory to sell! 🙌🏽

[@alecphoenix6631]

Amazon keeps gating more and more items and categories. Amazon also puts alot of items in the wrong category and then gates it. I think people starting this now have a real steep uphill battle to deal with....

[@dmitryk5941]

Great video in all the details ! A question off the topic - How do you deal with Amazon compliance requests for toys or other categories? Is there a chance to get those documents from TJX or distributor ? Can those requests lead to account suspension or something like that? Thank you !

[@NikkiKirk]

The requests just end in the listing being taken down so you won’t get shut down. You can try your distributor. Retail stores won’t be any help. Most of mine have just gone away after I sold the product and the listings come back up from other sellers cause they’re hot products. My toys I’m selling now I’ve had no issues lately

[@dmitryk5941]

@@NikkiKirk thank you !

[@sailshigh.thrifts]

@@NikkiKirk I have a request for a product that's already sold but pending (because the box isn't checked in yet) will it just get shipped to the customer when checked in or do I need to worry about the request?

[@slightlysidereal8576]

Nikki! I need your help getting approved to sell products, I did not know how hard it was lol I remember when you were in your Rv talking to your cat, you mentioned message you if you need help getting pass the approval for some products

[@modelyourclosetandfashionr3964]

Hi, I’m new to your channel and in my first steps of researching of how to start selling on Amazon . What do you mean by scanning? How do you see the sales rank? Do you need a business account and my last question is who ships the product?

[@katygriffith9472]

Watch all her videos those questions answered.

[@Lunchman.d]

I watched how you create seller sku's and started doing it myself. I started thinking what if I get the item for a lower cost or slightly higher cost? Do you go change your sku's to match the replenishment items every time?

[@NikkiKirk]

I don’t unless I had to make a whole new listing for some reason. If so you should never have two active at the same time FBA because it’s against their policy so you can only have one FBA listing at a time

[@Lunchman.d]

@@NikkiKirk If you found the item at another store weeks later but the cost and break even price was higher how does the original sku coding help?

[@NikkiKirk]

@@Lunchman.d I just try to remember that I got it for more. I don’t change them but if you are out of it and want to delete that listing and make a new one you can

[@Lunchman.d]

@@NikkiKirk Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm at the end of packing a 200 sku shipment and my ADD is trying to take over!

[@crystaloferrall.creator]

Question- in your opinion, should I go for the clothing brands ungating next or take the plunge and ungate in Toys? I've heard clothing has more returns and issues??

[@StudioErza929]

IMO, go for Toys!! I went through my first Amazon Q4 last year and it was CRAZY!!! I made more in profit in November and December 2020 alone then I did the whole year selling on eBay. Get started now to get ungated bc if you want to do toys via FBM there is a criteria you have to meet. Once ungated in the category “toys” work on getting ungated in brands such as Disney, Lego, Barbie, Fisher-Price, Little Live Pets, Star Wars, Hasbro, Hot Wheels, Nintendo, and Jurassic World. And soo much more but those brands I made a killing and looking at those same brands for this year’s Q4 as well.

[@jazzy7876]

Where can I sign up for ur email list ?? I do not understand what gated or ungated and all the terms are

[@NikkiKirk]

It means if you can or can’t sell a category or brand. Gated or ungated. Here’s the link to sign up! eepurl.com/cshUdz

[@Thewaywardtravellers64]

Is there a discount code for toy ungating. Wanna be ready for fourth quarter

[@Dawn-S]

Is there an approximate time when we sell 25 FBM to be able to sell FBM in the 4th quarter?

[@NikkiKirk]

The email usually comes out later this month and the orders need to be from Aug-Oct I believe

[@Dawn-S]

@@NikkiKirk Thank you!

[@billtorres9880]

Trying to start amazon is hard when you don't have an income.

[@jazzy7876]

Please anybody help me ??

[@jumpmanharden4552]

Have lost a lot on Amazon need help 😢

[@lj4449]

Seems like an awesome video but I’m distracted by what sounds like a dying dog somewhere🤷‍♂️

[@SavewithTerri]

Nikki. What if Amazon shut you down tomorrow? I hate it that they also have the ability to ruin my life.

[@NikkiKirk]

I’ve been shut down and it was stressful for sure but you can get your account back on your own or with help from an expert. Anything is possible and you don’t want to live in fear. I take it as it comes. Don’t let fear of anything stop you from what you want to do (I mean safely of course ;)
