Relying on Amazon as your only traffic source is scary and dangerous. Paul Easton shares why building your own store is NOT the first step, and what you should be focusing on first to diversify your Amazon traffic. Step 1: Product Inserts You design them quickly in Canva using pre-made templates. Depending on the product, different incentives will have the best conversion rate. Warranties work really well for some products, but make little sense for others. Or entering to win a $200 gift card every month can work really well. Step 2: Setup Email Marketing Automation The most basic way is to setup a free Mailchimp account, and just use the template landing page for email opt in from your Amazon product inserts. For a more robust system, Danny uses Active Campaign, but it's more expensive and only makes sense if you have a larger list. Step 3: Should You Use Manychat / Facebook Messenger?

Getting reviews for your Amazon products is getting more and more difficult, & techniques evolve. Gone are the days when you could buy Amazon reviews through shady Amazon review sites and get away with it. White hat is the way to go! Michael Melgar and Tygh Walters have an ecommerce customer service company Seller Smile. Their team manages reviews and feedback for large brands, and they're always up to date with changes in Amazon's TOS policies. A recent change is Amazon has been more hesitant to remove neutral or negative seller feedback. It used to be easy to request feedback removal when it's clearly a product review, not seller feedback, but now it's hit or miss. It's now recommended to continue opening cases at least 3 times before giving up. Amazon buyer-seller messaging has tightened in recent years as well, with many sellers removing themselves from everything but essential order update emails, meaning they will not receive your review request email. This means that excellent customer servic

Will Christensen is the master of Amazon FBA business automations, and founder of the company Data Automation, and he shares his experience in this Actualize Freedom Podcast Episode! What things should you NOT automate?  Will Christensen's rule is to never automate something you haven't done yourself at least 5 times. If you haven't' tested a process, it's likely you haven't fixed the "bugs" in your process. What things can you automate in an Amazon FBA Business? Will first will Google "how do I automate X process?" and see how other people have figured out how to automate it. Rather than trying to figure it out from scratch, it's likely other businesses have already solved your exact problem. What exactly can Amazon Sellers automate? The most common one is Amazon business reports & metrics consolidated into one single report with excel formulas to give you better information to grow your sales. Zapier is a powerful automation platform that Will's company Data Automation often  uses to cr
