You mean the product rankings? Or the ranking system itself?

I mean, do you mean they changed the way the ranking algorithm works? That there are new products, new seller etc. showing up all the time is clear.

They are always changing the way the ranking algorithm works! Like they always keep on changing the criteria for ranking.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and providing good info. This is a great read.

I have some questions:
1. As I understood you started about 8 years ago, how long dit it take you to start making profit? And about how much was it?
2. How many products failed before you found a successful one that made profit?
3. From your past experience, what mistakes have you made and what would you have done differently?

Your earning show you know exactly what you're doing. We'll need a montor soon. Hope I can reach you.

How is this journey going?

This past month of April was really challenging for us - We reduced sales as Amazon is creating more compliance issues & stopped to accept our appeals. Also I am taking some days off work so I can figure out some further nice hacks to go even crazier..

Are you talking about the listing merge issue? Seems Amazon did enforce compliance stricter now.

1. I never had any issues with starting to make profits - Guess I started it the day I started working in IM.
2. Couple of them & I still fail sometimes..
3. If I had a chance to redo - I'll always focus on building assets that can do great in a long term.

Excellent Journey and you are helping lot of people by sharing the info. Keep it up.

Here is a thorough update on whats been happening lately over the past few weeks.

Challenges RIGHT NOW..
* Amazon stopped to accept invoices at all & they are not opening retractions from the brands also so its been pretty much damaging.. Some of the seller accounts were suspended while we were doing almost everything absolutely alright.
* We have been trying to buy more & more businesses to diversify & improve sales but no there are Russians that are trying to buy all the seller accounts at a very high price that I don't intend to offer. Also, I have had quiet few scammers in the past week.
* There are so many glitches in Amazon & anyone can just report anything & then Amazon isn't accepting invoices or opening retractions.. I hope it changes soon.
* If we start to do massive sales on some seller accounts - Amazon puts Sales Velocity restrictions & put account under review.


How Things Are Moving & Numbers..
We are able to do any kind of revenues on Amazon as we have had grown up more skills & tools. If the challenges with the seller accounts are resolved - I think I can even do 5M a month easily & most of it will be profits. Lets say 3M!
I have also developed some extensions that help us to monitor almost everything that goes on with Amazon & we are expanding more in Europe & other marketplaces than US as I see more potential & less risk/competition there.


Plans
I am looking to partner up with more & more people to have more & more diversity & launching couple tens of Private Label products now.
I am looking to resolve this Amazon invoice & retraction issues as soon as possible.


Once this issue is resolved that I hope will soon - I'll take sales sky high! Hopefully..

good luck on your wonderful journey!

Awesome updates....this thread is massively helpful
I have a registered trademark brand with amazon, get to build a brand page ON amazon and have amazon brand protection.
TIME TO get products up there ASAP...

Hi mate I have a seller Amazon account in Europe, good standing, if you'd like to partner, I of course would like to partner with a guy like you

@archixet While product research: Are you looking for keywords or products? Which one would you recommend more? I saw many videos people are just looking for a good product, but don't really care about the keywords or competition under this keyword.

Being in Asia can I sell in the USA? How to begin for the very first time?
I worked for Amazon FBA sellers, but afraid a lot to get into it.
