Amazon Launchpad and Accelerator—yea or nay?


 

Hey Reader,

Amazon Launchpad and Accelerator aren’t that popular among sellers.

Maybe it’s because of the long-term commitment coupled with high fees.

Or maybe it’s because Amazon uses it to get your business for less.

We finally found out why.

 

From the Blog

Pros and Cons of the Canton Fair. Private label sellers all over the globe used to gather at the Canton Fair before the pandemic broke out. In case we’ll have the option to visit again, find out whether it’s right for you and your business.

How to Find and Train the Best Filipino Virtual Assistants in 2021. Our Philippine team has made it possible for us to run multiple 7-figure brands without losing our sanity. Find out how we hired them—and how we make sure they stay.

 

From the Podcast

E384: Here’s a Fresh Way to Get Some Funding. In ecommerce, cash is king. Here’s a plan in case you run low.

E315: Getting the Snowball Rolling on Your First Product Launch. A pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur ventures into ecommerce. We discussed the marketing strategies that helped her successfully launch her new skincare line.

 

Yours to Keep

The enrollment for EcomCrew Premium closed last Monday, and we won’t be opening it for months. In case you missed it, there’s still a chance for you to experience Premium.

From finding best sellers to making sure you don’t rely solely on Amazon for traffic, our course bundle has you covered. What makes these 6 full-length courses different from others is that they take you through the process step-by-step.

When you’re done, you’ll not only know what specific things to do. You’ll also get resources so you can skip the research part. Learn and execute. It’s that simple.

And unlike a subscription, you get to keep these forever (or for as long as we’re not invaded by aliens and we still have access to the internet).

Buy the bundle.

 

Premium Sauce

The peel, stick, and block strategy may have worked for you, but we found three more advanced strategies for more effective Sponsored Products campaigns.

We’ve done tests on our own brands, and we’re ready to reveal our numbers. Learn which strategies are best to get your ACoS down while increasing your revenue.

All Premium members are invited to join us on May 26 at 10 AM (PST). A separate email has been sent containing your unique link.

Happy selling,

Mike and Dave
