If you’re looking to sell your goods online, you’re probably comparing Shopify vs Amazon as both platforms have their pros and cons.
A common question I get asked is whether you should ditch Amazon and start selling on your online store right away. After all, Amazon is super competitive and cutthroat.
In this video, I compare Shopify vs Amazon in detail to help you decide which platform is the best for you.

Ty 🙏🏽 i will look through your playlist, im ready to go either way but more interested in FBA. My major concern and misunderstanding is getting the products to Amazon. I initially thought you buy and have items shipped to the warehouse. Now i understand, each itmlem has to 'SKUd' before going to the warehouse and orior to selling so its not as easy as buy and ship. I know you can use a service for that part but do you have any more info in this? Point me in the right direction please. TY

Amazon is a disaster, when you factor in everything including returns their actual cost is 50% not including goods. I have the monthly breakdowns to prove it. Plus when things go wrong they can go very wrong. I have PTSD from trying to keep Amazon going until finally they wound up keeping 40K of my money because my supplier doesn't have invoices. I sold on them for over 10 years and rules changed faster than our supply line's way of doing business. Never again, for my sanity I'm going solo with a new brand, my own website and product. A passion project that probably won't work but I'm going to do it anyway.

@mywifequitherjob Жыл бұрын

You need high margins in order to profit on Amazon. I recommend at least 60%

Hey Steve 👋, what do you mean by Amazon can integrate with my shopify??, are you talking about Amazon seo will somehow give you free store recognition so people can find your shopify store??, I know you are going to be discussing Amazon this Thursday so definitely like to know how to use Amazon as a free way to get customers to my store. Umm never mind steve I just went through your video again and I understand what you're talking about now, LOL!, you're saying when I list my shopify store products simultaneously with my products I'm selling on Amazon it will be listed free, got it 👍

It's tricky when a customer can check out your item and then immediately have competitors recommended to them as they're viewing your listing. Shopify seems ideal for that reason. Just curious, is your free course updated regularly or do you save that for your paid course?

@mywifequitherjob Жыл бұрын

I try to make the free course material evergreen but it gets updated when something has drastically changed. The paid material is always up to date

My concern is competition! How do you launch one product you specialize in that once its out there on Amazon (or in general).. its seen by competitors with million dollar budgets and their own factories that can out price you and copy your product!

Competition is fierce for both platform. Smart move is to launch one product with 2 variations and test them at first. Just like people do in shopify dropshipping model. You are wrong, Most Sellers on Amazon are normal people with limited budget. I literally work with FBA sellers who have $600-$1500 monthly budget. He explained that you already have massive amount of traffic, you'll get expose quickly. All you need to find a good niche, do some extra product development and start selling instantly.

There's always competition and mostly Chinese sellers so no getting around it. Amazon themselves allow and welcome the factories to sell.
