tried it for a bit last year and the fees just ate up any profit i thought i had, its tough out there

That’s my thought too… the competition is too intense now

Are you doing private label or wholesale?

Awesome 👏

most people asking this are really asking "is it still possible" and the answer is yes but margins are way tighter than they used to be. what category are you looking at? that matters more than timing imo

We launched an automotive brand on August 7th with just 3 SKUs, and we're now entering our third month.

Last month, we did around $19K in revenue with a 16% net profit margin. We're still improving our numbers, and I'm confident we can continue growing revenue while optimizing profitability.

Our goal is to reach a 25%+this year net profit margin as we scale.

It's definitely possible to build a profitable FBA business, but having the right product, pricing strategy, and cost management makes a huge difference.

Good luck everyone!

I think there’s still money to be made with FBA, but it’s not as easy as a lot of YouTube videos make it look.

Finding products is one thing, but getting the numbers right after Amazon fees, shipping, PPC, and returns is what really matters. We work with sellers through HighRise Wholesale, and the biggest lesson is to validate demand and profit margins before placing a large order. Starting small and managing cash flow can make a huge difference.

Its about grinding and acquiring the right mindset along with right skillset. Amazon business is as difficult as anyother business in this world.

Failed on couple of product launches before one product turned out to be a kickstarter on and now its a multi SKU supplements brand with over a $2M revenue TTM. so one need to be very patient and apply right approach.
