Hi everyone.
Welcome back to my channel today.
I'm Tamara.
My name is Palmer.
And I am the founder of Amazon FBA Winners.
We're here with you today because we want to provide you with an update about what's
going on with my Amazon FBA journey.
How I was able to successfully grow my business online so I no longer have to return to my
9 to 5 job.
I'm also giving you guys a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT.
I'm officially releasing my Amazon FBA Winners Course.
Be sure to watch until the very end because I'm an announcing a BIG GIVEAWAY for this
course, you don't want to miss it!
In this YouTube video today, it will be very much interview-style.
Palmer's going to ask me a set of questions about our online business and how I was able
to make passive income online so I no longer have to return to my 9 to 5 job.
Now for the most of you, I'm sure that's what you want and I really want to go over a lot
of things that has happened throughout the last year - how I was able to make it and
what Palmer does to help me in this business you guys.
It's impossible if you are planning to run a business by yourself.
So Palmer, why don't you tell them a bit about what you do to help us grow this online business
together.
So thanks Tamara, so like she said, I do a little bit of help with the Amazon FBA business
as well.
I mainly handle everything in the backend really.
It's all about handling the SEO, managing a little bit of the YouTube channel, doing
a lot of the editing of the videos, I do everything I can to help her grow her business.
So this is what I am here to do and as a support for my partner.
So I want to ask her a few questions so you guys can get a better idea of what it is that
she's done so far with her journey.
Basically, let's start off with "where are you at with your FBA business right now?"
Yeah, so starting out a year ago you guys, if you've been following me, that's been great,
I've mentioned a lot of times that when I first started out my Amazon FBA journey, I
didn't know what the heck I was doing.
And I really, really wished that there were more trust worthy mentors out there that was
able to guide me from A to Z.
Because basically what happened to me last year, the end of last year, was I spent a
lot of time researching, like hours and hours everyday.
I didn't know what the heck I was doing and I ended up losing $3000 to $4000 on my very
first product, ordering 200 units not knowing what I was doing.
So the main reason why I started my YouTube channel, and Palmer pushed me to do this and
I am so glad that we actually did, I was able to help so many people who are struggling
with Amazon FBA who did not have proper mentors for themselves to follow, did not have the
guidance, following the wrong mentors, we're not going to mention names in this video.
But there's a lot of, you know, wrong people that you follow out there on YouTube and it
can really make a negative impact for your Amazon business you know.
I see all around Facebook groups, people are complaining about losing money, they're liquidating
their product.
But you know what?
There's so many ways that you can actually make this business work for you.
So I really want to, you know, go over a lot of things and how this was able to work for
myself.
And learning everything from testing and just learning a lot of strategies, talking to big
6, 7 figure sellers, I knew that I had to get a piece of the pie.
And actually a lot of people that have found me on YouTube noticed that I was female.
I think I am the first female woman that was really able to make this work for themselves.
So ladies, if you are watching this, I would love to talk to you about Amazon FBA.
So Tamara, tell me a little bit more about how you feel about helping other people achieve
their own lifetime goals with creating passive income for their own lives?
Yeah so, to be honest, this is... when I first starting out like 6 months ago, it felt like
a full time job.
I am not going to lie.
I mean, you see a lot of glamour out there on YouTube where it's like, you know, you
could be driving this kind of car in like 2 months and you can be making a $100,000
in a few months... that's absolutely not true you guys.
This is a real business and Palmer's actually helping me a lot with the backend stuff.
So my YouTube channel, for example, he does a lot of the SEO, he does a lot of the video
editing, he helps grow my following on social media, and without his help.
All organic.
Yeah, it's all organic.
We don't buy subs, we don't buy anything because I really wanted to grow everything organically
to really show you guys that, yes it does work.
We are not going to mention any names of any mentors who do buy things like that but this
is all about being organic and really being able to make your online business work for
you.
So a lot of what he does, he has taken a lot of time off for me so I can really focus on
selling my physical products.
You guys, when you have your first, second, maybe even third product up on Amazon, you
realize that it's like having a new baby in your life, right?
Everyday you have to maintain it.
At least for the first, I would say, three months you know.
You have to pick your product after it's sourced.
It gets sent to the warehouse.
And then you have to pick out keywords, learn how to run PPC, launch your product properly,
wait until that takes off and then, that's the only time that you can sit back and relax.
There's a lot of posts in my Facebook group if you have not seen where I really talk about
how to do this properly, having a launch strategy, knowing what you're doing step by step.
And I've had two test products the last year where I actually bought...
I purposely bought these products because I want to really test out a few strategies
and that's when I found out something that really worked for me.
And that's why I created the Amazon FBA Winners Course.
I know a lot of you guys have had one on one mentoring with me.
And you guys, thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to help you because I could
guarantee, these calls that I have with my students, I desperately want to help them
and they have gotten results.
So I decided to create a course because, let's face it, a lot of us have different learning
capabilities, right?
A lot of us adapt to things differently so, for myself, I am very hands on.
If you give me a book to read and learn, I'll never understand it.
I can read all about Amazon for hours and hours, but I will not understand it until
I'm hands on.
And that's when I started doing the coaching calls.
I've been reading a lot in Facebook groups that people are having problems with this
and that.
And you know, I want to help you pick at this problem and get it right.
So without Palmer's help, I would not be able to do these calls with you guys.
Palmer, why don't you tell the audience a little bit about what you do and how we operate
the business as a couple because I am sure a lot of people are wondering, oh do you guys
only sell on Amazon?
Like what else do you guys do?
Thanks Tamara, so basically what we do on the side besides Amazon FBA is the fact is,
we actually own about 4 pieces of property together as a couple.
They are scattered all over Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam.
Other than that, on the side, I actually have my own part time contracting job.
It's great for benefits, that's why I am keeping it and I also have a great passion towards
what I do.
But either way, what this interview is about is all about Tamara.
So Tamara, can you tell us a little bit about what your life has been since you started
Amazon FBA?
Yeah, so I am sure you guys have been following, I am sure you've heard multiple times that
I absolutely hated the corporate world.
I had a 9 to 5 job, a desk job at many accounting companies, engineering companies, and I was
basically "the office b*tch".
That was a term I always referred to myself as because I was constantly getting bossed
around.
And I knew at a very, very young age that I wanted to work for myself.
I think I knew this around 13 years old, to be honest.
But you know, coming from a Chinese background - we're both Chinese.
From Asian families, our parents really taught us and molded us to become like a lawyer,
a doctor, or get a degree, go to school for 10 years, be in debt for another 5 years,
and then finally pick up and make something out of yourself.
But I am here to tell you guys that, that's not really how business is nowadays.
A lot of people are putting their business up online, they're making money passively,
selling physical products.
E-commerce is really, really new.
It's still very new.
If you think that e-commerce or Amazon or eBay, whatever it is, dropshipping, is too
saturated, it's not.
Okay, people are going in business and also getting out of business every single day.
So, for me, to really make this work for myself, I was very desperate.
And I've watched a lot of inspirational mentor videos.
One of my favourites is Tony Robbins.
And he's always told people, you have to be hungry and you have to be desperate.
And that's exactly where I was the last 10 years.
Every time I got laid off or fired - I think I got laid off and fired about 5 times throughout
my last 10 years.
I was always chasing the next 9 to 5 job.
I thought that was it.
But when I started...
I met someone two years ago and they were doing Amazon FBA, I thought it was a total
joke.
I was like "you really make money online, you can make your own schedule?"
Yeah right, whatever.
So I started testing the business model myself, like I mentioned.
From everything, literally, from A to Z, how to launch my product, how to find the right
products, how to not really follow your passions and what you'd like to sell on Amazon because
I am going to be completely honest, I love make up and I love purses.
But if I sell those products on Amazon, it's not going to work because they are so saturated.
So what I teach a lot of my students, a lot of my members, is how to do proper product
research - how to look at numbers before you pay your supplier, how much do you have in
the bank that you are willing to put upfront and invest because if none of those check
out, you should not be doing Amazon.
You know, I'll never sell anything to you guys that doesn't work.
I'll never sell to you guys that you cannot afford and that's mainly what my channel is
about.
So I think that the majority of your viewers right now want to know is what is the real
reason behind starting this whole course together?
So the main reason for this course is I honestly, I am going to be completely honest, I was
so sick and tired of people getting lied to, you know; through the wrong people.
I was tricked myself, I got tricked into this myself when I first started Amazon FBA, not
going to mention any names, like I mentioned.
But I really did not appreciate people giving false hope out there, you know, people giving
fake information.
You only need $500 to start - no you don't.
I'm sorry, no, that is incorrect.
This is a real business, I want you to treat it like a real business.
This course that I have for you guys will work for you IF you put in the time, you do
your homework, you are desperate to make a change in your life, you are committed, and
you know that this will be your baby for the next, at least 6 months.
Because in order to make profits on Amazon, or to make money online, in any type of business
that you are starting, you need to invest money.
You need to invest money to make money.
That's just how business is, right?
It's not like a 9 to 5 pay check where you get paid every 2 weeks.
When you have steadily built that base and you are making a steady income.
Such as myself, I was making a little over $50,000 a year when I had my desk job.
I've replaced that with Amazon FBA.
And being Canadian - we're Canadian, it has its benefits because we actually get paid
a lot more due to the exchange rate so that's a little bonus for us.
But you know, I always tell new sellers, and if you are watching this, do not compare your
business to somebody else.
That's a lot that I stress on my channel.
If you start comparing numbers, I'm sure you guys know of big sellers out there... if you're
starting to compare businesses, compare yourself, compare numbers, you're never going to make
it because you're just going to feel like sh*t everyday.
So what I always teach my members is... members are, my theme of my course is always to make
an income, to enjoy your life, whether or not you have a 9 to 5 job, and if you are
making your first few thousand dollars on Amazon a month, which is totally doable, you
are already winning.
If you can replace your bi weekly pay check with the money you make on Amazon, you're
already winning.
You are already way ahead of people.
You can actually sit back and start doing a lot of things that you enjoy.
So think with myself and Palmer, when Palmer's not working, we're working on the business
but you know, we don't have alarm clocks, right?
Nope.
He goes to the gym, I go to the gym in the morning.
We both do what we love in the morning and then I'll start answering to a lot of questions
that you guys have, my Facebook group, my YouTube channel, everything.
I answer to you guys every single day.
So a bit about the course, let's talk a little bit about my course though.
Before I started this course, I got a lot of people asking me, "why don't you have a
course?"
And I am "what?"
Yeah, why don't you tell them about a lot of people that have been messaging you about
why we don't have a course?
Why didn't we have a course?
Well, basically when we first started, we actually had no intention about selling a
course to begin with but as things progressed and how things fell together into place, there
was no other avenue for us to take besides helping others.
And we found that the best way to do it was to actually create a more thorough, in depth
tutorial and hands on experience for people to figure out how to sell and how to succeed
on Amazon FBA as well.
Another thing that I wanted to add to that was we did a lot of research, okay?
A lot of members that I have coached one on one, my coaching calls - they always ask me,
"why don't you have a course?"
And to be honest, we weren't ready for it.
We weren't ready for it, not because we didn't have the skills but because we wanted to know
what other members were picking at.
What people were complaining about in other groups, why their mentors were not responding,
what can mentors do in order to improve the response level.
So I studied every single one of those, every single course that I came across, I really
thought about, "what are these members complaining about?"
So I, when I had my own course, I can fix all of those problems for you guys.
So I am sure you guys who do sell on Amazon, I'm sure you guys read a lot of one star,
two star reviews from your competitors.
That's exactly what I did with this course.
I picked out every single bad thing that people had been saying in other Facebook groups about
other courses and really made this course from scratch, setting out rules in my private
course group on how to help members.
So what have I done?
Basically, for the private course group, for Amazon FBA Winners Course, there are rules
you have to follow.
Number one rule: always search in the search bar for any questions other members are asking.
If other members are asking the question that you were going to ask, you just saved so much
time instead of repeating.
Imagine having ten students repeating the same question every hour, instead you can
just search, right?
We really have to get into the habit of Googling things, searching things online, that's real
entrepreneurship.
That's a lot of what I do.
I search things on my own before asking someone else.
So that's one of the rules.
Second rule is that if you think your question, related to the course, benefits everybody
else, you have to post your question in the course group.
Okay because I get a lot of direct messages everyday and I do respond to everybody within
24 hours.
I always, always do, unless you're asking me something totally not related to Amazon,
I may put you in the back burner.
But one of the second rule of my course is if you think the group can really benefit
from your question, you need to post it in the course group, not ask me directly.
Because then we are just wasting time when your question can benefit 20 other members,
just imagine that.
In my public group with Amazon FBA Winners, I always reply to people, "hey, do you mind
posting this question in the group because I really think that all the viewers can benefit
from that?"
So those are the two main things.
I see a lot of people saying, "my mentor doesn't reply", "my mentor just sells me a course
and disappears".
So this is how... this is the two main ways how we can fix that problem.
Another thing we have started working on was really think about how we can help you guys
save money.
A lot of courses, you know, they're blasted with a lot of different affiliate links.
They always try to sell you something but with my course, I teach you how to save money.
I teach you how to do your own trademark.
I teach you how to keep track of your own expenses, for sole proprietorship and for
corporations.
You can really do this yourself.
You don't have to pay someone unless you are really busy when your business starts growing.
So for myself, I do all the book keeping for the course, I mean sorry, for Amazon as a
whole and for the business as a whole, I do my own bookkeeping.
You can do that too when you're starting out, you don't need to pay thousands and thousands
of dollars for that.
Another thing that I want to mention to you guys, if you had ever had one on one coaching
with me, you immediately get 25% off my course.
I know you guys are hustlers.
I know you guys want freedom.
I know you guys want to make more money.
So just send me a DM on Facebook, and I'll give you a coupon to get 25% off.
So everything that Tamara said was perfectly right, we have spent the last few months putting
together the best course that we can for you guys so we found all the complaints that other
students have had from other courses.
Most of it came to the fact that the mentor was never there or the information was irrelevant
so that is what we're going to make sure is not going to be found in our course.
Exactly, and you can, I can guarantee you that I will always provide the best, up to
date information.
I am not just going to let the course burn for a whole month.
Anyway, I want to announce my big giveaway.
I am giving away FIVE courses to you guys.
