Zero other means of income since April 2016 by @theresellinggiant

✅ Match highest year of sales by end august.

I don’t have a total sales goal for this year I’m just gonna work hard and be disciplined/ consistent and see where it takes me. by @theresellinggiant

Mind your own business
.
I’m just documenting mine. by @theresellinggiant

Chance of pushing 1500 units sold by month end.
.
Luck produced by consistency and little bit of knowledge.
.
In reference when I was just selling on eBay while working full time that became part time job I sold around 6000 units in the 2 years before being self employed and ultimately becoming Amazon seller. by @theresellinggiant

TMI I got Nearly 48k worth of business debt compared to my 180k ytd sales and my current two week pay out of 7k
.
You don’t have to run your Amazon business this way to get bigger numbers in fact I would say don’t but it is what it is.
.
Costing me about $400 a month the 20k card isn’t even current inventory it’s from pre 2023 which any inventory I have pretty much been sold or removed from FBA as my oldest inventory is under 6 months.
.
I paid myself when I wasn’t working in 2021-22 and now I’m trying to make up for it by leveraging more credit that has 0 interest. It can get ugly be safe you all. by @theresellinggiant

You can do it!
.
It doesn’t really matter where you are in life. You can start with whatever skills or knowledge you have.
.
Regardless of what marketplace you choose to start on be it ebay, Amazon, Mercari, poshmark, or Facebook to name a few. You can sell as little as much as you want it doesn’t matter.
.
You just need offer up something someone wants for sale somewhere they will see it and for a price they have to buy it.
.
Unless your someone who needs to take a master class on how to have garage sale you can start immediately and learn as you go. by @theresellinggiant

Let’s go! Summer doesn’t slow down if you don’t! by @theresellinggiant

The informed consumer act communication has not been great.
.
I was finally able to see the next step by going to address page under account information after reading some forum posts. Waiting on postcard now for address verification it didn’t even say I needed this on health page.
.
All the info from Amazon has been unhelpful and while this has been glitchy I’m not gonna assume it’s just gonna go away and fixed without disruption to my business.
.
I’m not changing anything for the potential of a deactivation but I’m definitely not blowing it off as error that won’t effect me. In my experience Amazon let’s the AI do what thinks needs to be done and address issues after the fact. I’ve seen sellers progressing through verifications so I assume I have to as well. by @theresellinggiant

The phrase Doom scrolling exists for reason? by @theresellinggiant

It’s totally possible to do 6 figures in sales or even 7 as side hustle.
.
Unfortunately I don’t think most will stick around to see that through. I think Like with most things you have to enjoy it to stick with it and most days I do but there are times where I feel like I’m not getting anywhere but more into debt.
.
I think starting out especially in first few months the money is gonna be going out 10x faster then it’s coming in and it’s gonna be hard to see the sustainability.
.
I’m not efficient in the way that I do Amazon I’m just super protective of the means at which it brings me joy. Being able to work alone and not depend on other peoples work ethic which frustrated me in previous means of income even as manager. I enjoy the exploratory nature of doin RA without it being a personal expense or being somewhat stressful to do with family. I like making money but I am definitely less motivated by it when I’m not in debt. by @theresellinggiant

Really feeling the consistency of the last few months pay off.
.
I was concerned that my average FBA profit had dropped but it’s actually gone up from last month even despite slowing sales numbers since after Easter. So makes me feel better about the sales dip as long as units are steady I gotta keep plugging away.
.
Taking a break from sourcing next week to do some spring sprucing of home and business. by @theresellinggiant

Playing Playdoh is the most important thing I had to do today.
.
Not sourcing, not prepping a shipment, not adjusting prices. I have plenty of time to do that. I will always have plenty of time to make money. by @theresellinggiant
