A perfect example is there people business model that fully relies on buying tools from Home Depot and de-bundle, selling a course talking about “knowledge”😂😂 Any ways this is a perfect cash grab for anyone who wanna make quick money on Amazon, I don’t recommend it but I know someone not going listen.

🚨 ASGTG alert!!! 🚨 Many sellers are seeing inventory remain stuck in FC Processing or Staging long after it has been received by Amazon. During this time, the units are not available for sale, revenue is delayed, ranking momentum can be impacted, and storage fees still apply even though the inventory is not sellable. Not great! The biggest challenge is the lack of visibility: sellers often do not know why the inventory is delayed, when it will be released, or how to properly escalate the issue. Has anyone recently dealt with extended FC Processing delays? There are quite a few posts on the forums on this issue @amznsellerhelp

Amazon's DD 7 policy has created more cash flow anxiety in the seller community than almost anything else recently, and a lot of sellers still don't fully understand the mechanics. DD 7 means Delivery Date plus 7 days. When a customer receives your product, Amazon starts a 7-day hold before that order can be included in your payout cycle. So if a customer orders on the 1st, receives on the 3rd, and your payout date is the 9th, that sale won't be in the 9th payout - it'll show up in the 23rd payout. This is the cash flow squeeze. You've already paid for the inventory. You've paid the advertising costs that drove the sale. You've paid referral fees and FBA fees. You no longer have the product. And you're waiting 22 days from the order date to see that money. The frustrating part is that DD 7 isn't unique to Amazon - a 30-day payment cycle is standard in many industries. Amazon sellers have historically been spoiled by relatively fast payouts. But the combination of bi-weekly payout cycles and a 7-day delivery buffer means the effective delay feels longer than it is. What's made this worse is that Amazon has now incorporated account-level reserves into the deferred transactions framework, affecting how reserves show in payout reports and sales total reports. If you're trying to reconcile what's in your bank account with what seller central shows, this additional change has added confusion on top of confusion. Model your cash flow on actual payout timing, not on when sales happen. Sellers who assume payouts will be available sooner than they are end up in unnecessary cash crunches. Build a simple cash flow forecast that accounts for DD 7 timing. Know when your payout windows fall. Plan inventory purchases and ad spend increases around them.

Everyday there’s either a new sourcing video or podcast about understanding how to source that I see, when in my opinion, if you’re looking to build a successful Amazon business… I honestly think sourcing doesn’t matter. Not that it’s not important, but you would understand it with time. No video or guide can give you better training than actually putting in the work. It’s like a baby learning how to walk and speak for the first time it happens with time. But understanding how to build character as a person is the hard part. Now, understanding what you need to in an Amazon business to scale successfully is not shared anywhere on the internet that I’ve seen. The stuff I see people teaching…I going keep predicting seller are going keep quiet while established seller keep crushing.

This is why Amazon isn’t for everyone. So, you averaged $200k profit per year. Your profit margin is 14-15%. Put aside the forecasted, compounded sales volume over the next 12 months. Assume you got offered a job with $200k annually 5 years ago. Maybe some equity too. The job route would probably be better for most people. Keep in mind that YOU went through many challenges and hurdles over those 5 years. Many that certainly made you want to quit. Had you not preserved for those 5 years, you wouldn’t be at the point where you can confidently forecast 5-7M within 12 months. Kind of like compound interest. This isn’t to knock Amazon but just commenting to further explain expand on how most online info is garbage and people being unrealistic.

I have been selling on Amazon for 5 years now, done over $7 million in sales and $1 million in profit, and am on track to do $5–7 million in the next 12 months alone. I would like to say that 95% of the stuff taught on social media is not helpful it’s all outdated. And the data shows it. People are leaving Amazon not just because Amazon is getting harder, but because the information being taught is sour.

Growth slowly coming back, we be at 600k then to 1 million months in no time.🥳🥳

Amazon is not dead, the weekend warriors are just gone.
