Hey, how's it going guys? Hopefully you guys can see me live. I think we're good to go. Perfect. All right. If I have any audio issues, you guys will let me know. Um, but today we're going to go over some important topics as far as what's going on Amazon FBA, because Amazon just had their earnings report, um, last week. And I think as far as investor relations or anything like that, we are the biggest Amazon FBA investors. Um, so we have to know exactly what's going on, what causes our concern, um, and what their outlook is for this second quarter. Um, because ultimately, you know, this quarter is where tariffs are going to be impacted. This is where Chinese sellers that we, you know, close loopholes on, what's going to go ahead and go on in other marketplaces, which again, that's what we're going to go over today. We're also going to go over capacity limits because a lot of people got hit with capacity limits starting in May. Um, that reminds me a little bit about COVID right? Like ASIN-level restrictions now. So we're going to go over those topics as well and also go over Q&As of anybody who has any type of questions. Um, so before we go ahead and do that, I'm going to go ahead and just check Discord. If you guys are interested in one-on-one, if you are currently an Amazon FBA seller and looking to see what bottlenecks you have to scale your actual business, whether that's going ahead and doing PPC, uh, going ahead and doing terms, what products to go ahead and come out with next, check that link in the description below if you are interested. But I'm going to go ahead and go over any questions I might have on Discord first. Um, okay, Kareem, I'll get back to you with the STP today as well. And then David, uh, Creating a listing. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get you detailed reporting as well today once I'm done with this live. But other than that, let's go ahead and kind of go through exactly what we're gonna be discussing with today, which— okay, reports better than expected earnings despite turbulence of Trump's tariffs. So based on the earnings report that I went ahead and read, and this is not just the only article, I went ahead and looked at this article as well too, as far as like you know, what's happening, right? So obviously tariffs have a huge impact and a lot of these investors are kind of moving forward. So as soon as the tariffs got announced, we saw a bunch of different types of stocks, you know, drop. And a lot of those stocks have already rebounded, including Amazon. But when Amazon went ahead and reported, their shares dropped again. So I'll be interested to see as far as like what the stock price looks like this morning on Monday after they had the weekend to kind of digest what they heard. But important topics here when it comes to Amazon FBA sellers, because obviously Amazon has a different type of business with which is called AWS, and that is what's making Amazon a lot of money. Okay. So what is the main concerns that we have with Amazon when it comes to third-party sellers? Well, they do think that there's going to be some out-of-stock type of issues, which again, It's granted, like it's going to go ahead and happen. There's a lot of actual sellers that are doing nothing right now. There's a bunch of containers that are stuck in Chinese ports, just waiting for some type of agreement to take place. Because if they go ahead and ship out their items right now, and they're hit with these 145% tariffs, and you know, they're the ones going ahead and doing all the taxes, the duties themselves, they're going to get really impacted the most. Right? So a lot of these actual small to medium, you know, businesses are going to go ahead and feel the burn of this, right? So that's why they're not going ahead and doing anything right now. But there's going to come a certain time where they're going to have to be forced to go ahead and ship these items out, or they're forced to go ahead and basically destroy their items and destroy their business. So in the short term, I do feel like at the end of this month in May, we're going to start seeing a lot of less sellers on Amazon. We're going to start seeing a lot of less product at retail stores. Um, and it really is going to go ahead and, you know, figure out to see what's going to happen with inflation. Right. So that's why I've always been an advocate right now. If you're able to go ahead and just raise your prices, deal with the turbulence right now where, you know, other competitors might go ahead and be stealing away your sales, but once they go out of stock, once they get this impact on the tariffs, because you have to understand there's a lot of people that still have 3, 4, 5 months of inventory left. They prepared for this. The right seller prepared for all of this stuff, right? So once they do run out of stock, right, because they didn't increase their pricing, because again, on the other flip side to that, people that are prepared, they're doing nothing as far as not raising their prices, which again, I think that's a mistake as well, but that's a different video for a different day. But basically what they're going ahead and suggesting is yes, they do feel like there is going to be some issues with, with products on the shelf. Um, they also stated that actually in this earnings report, they actually did state that customers or sellers are actually concerned about raising their prices too quickly. So we, I started going ahead and going to like seller forums and they started, they started talking about how, um, sellers started going ahead and raising their prices and they lose the buy box automatically. So they try to raise their prices by more than 10% and they lose the buy box. So So that's a little trick there as well, that if you are losing the buy box, right, because you're increasing your price too much, try and gradually raise your price. So that might mean going ahead and raising your price by 5% today, waiting for a couple of sales to come in, then raising another 5% the next day, waiting for sales to come in, and then raising your price again, because Amazon does not like to see you go ahead and quote unquote price gouge, even though we're not price gouging the situation. We're just trying to go ahead and be profitable. Profitable. So they did talk about seeing, finally seeing actual sellers raise their prices. And the last thing, which is most important, is that they do anticipate advertising coming down. And that was the reason why shares dropped after they went ahead and announced their earnings report. And the reason for that is because Every year, every quarter, whenever they compare to the last quarter or they compare year over year, advertising is growing like crazy for Amazon. Um, and that's basically them being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, right? They went ahead and built out this amazing e-commerce site where people go to shop. And the reason why Amazon is extremely successful is because customers go to Amazon to buy. Right. The difference between Facebook ads, TikTok ads, or just like social media in general is that people are there to go ahead and interact with their friends. Um, get a little bit of brain rot when it comes to TikTok, you know, endlessly stroll. Right. They're not there to go ahead and buy anything. They're just there to go ahead and pass the time. With Amazon, it's probably the most low-hanging fruit. And that's why if you don't master Amazon, don't move on to try and make a Shopify store. Facebook ad or go ahead and run, you know, traffic through Facebook ads or Instagram ads or TikTok ads. Focus on Amazon because that's going to be the biggest return on investment because the customers are already there. But counter to that, so that's why they're growing, you know, year over year, month over month, right? So that's why they continuously go ahead and double down on offering different placements, different strategies, right, on advertising because they know they can squeeze out as much money as possible, right? But what they're saying is that with going ahead and these sellers, you know, being less sellers, that means there's less competition for advertising. That means there's gonna be less dollars on advertising. And we might see, you know, year-over-year declines now here in Q2 and Q3, in my opinion. So that just means that, you know, um, that's an opportunity for you guys, right? So the less people there is to compete on advertising, the less cost per click there is, right? But we do have to keep in track, right? Like if, if, you know, our cost per click is lower, but less people are going ahead and shopping online because there's a recession that's about to hit, there's this counterbalance, like this seesaw, right? So again, there is going to be opportunity that if you do double down on advertising or able to go ahead and run advertising efficiently, you might be able to be more profitable with, you know, less competition. So always, always cool to go ahead and see exactly what's going on with Amazon. But there's one thing that's really causing for concern, and that is these new storage limits. So this reminds me a lot of what's going ahead and going on that went on during COVID which— let me go ahead and take a quick pause to see if there's any questions being asked right now. Again, I do these videos for primarily the course members, but once we get enough viewers here, enough questions being asked, I'm going to go ahead and turn this to private and then publicize it later afterwards. Um, but right now go ahead and ask any question you might have. I'm going ahead and showing a screen there, but I'm going to go ahead and check to see Discord, if I have any questions on Discord. I don't right now. All right. So moving on to what I was going to go ahead and discuss with these storage limits. So this is a hot topic right now that people are getting hit with storage limits. So not only did a lot of people try and get a bunch of inventory out of China and probably into the 3PL. Now sellers are having issue with going ahead and shipping in products into Amazon, which again, I don't understand why this is happening right now when we have all of these different types of tariff issues, right? We want to go ahead and get our products into Amazon as quick as possible. We want to avoid another 300% tariff, 400% tariff, because, you know, on the flip side to things that people are expecting an agreement, on the flip side, something can go ahead and happen where, you know, China or the US gets upset again and they raise the tariffs, right? So again, that's, that's why I'm saying that right now we have cheaper freight costs, right? Um, even though our tariffs are getting impacted most more, freight costs are actually down, right? So there's kind of this counterbalance as far as like, okay, tariffs are really high, but freight's really low. I'm right here as far as profitability is concerned. Let me go ahead and ship out all my inventory, right? I can go ahead and raise prices and wait and see there. But Amazon's not allowing— now going ahead and scaling back. So what are they scaling back, right? So basically what ended up happening was Amazon reduced capacity from 6 months to 5 months of expected sales volume. Some sellers seeing cuts of up to 75% starting May 2025. And why is this an issue? Well, let's say you had a product that came out this year, right? Let's say it came out sometime in March. Well, Amazon really only has, um, one month worth of data, right? So let's say you are selling like crazy and you just reordered your inventory and your first order batch was 500 units. And now you're expecting that you're going to be able to go ahead and sell 1,000 units a month. Well, Amazon's only allowing you to go ahead and ship out a fixed number of items. Right. So you can already see how much of an issue that there might be. It also impacts seasonality type of items, right? So Amazon's not 100% sophisticated as far as knowing, hey, this product is seasonal. So if primarily you do a lot of business in the summertime, you're going to impact it as well. And we're not talking about 5 months of expected sales volume. You might be talking about 1 month if you are in a seasonal, if, if that, right. So this is very, very frustrating. Right. So, and you can see that signs point to a return of ASIN-level restock limits alongside account-wide caps, uh, reminiscent of the 2021 restock policy. So sellers were caught off guard. Some previous confirmed limits were revised downward with a little warning, making inventory adjustment costly and logistically challenging. Right. And we have Prime Day coming up and this is going to be extremely interesting, interesting, right? Are we going to actually give discounts on our products? I don't think so, but those who do— again, this is all game theory, this is all strategy. If we see, or like, the common, the common theme right here is that no one's gonna go ahead and run ads, right? I mean, or deals during Prime Day. But, but, but, but, but if you do run deals, you can expect to get so many, so many sales, right? And again, People always say they don't like running deals because it's very expensive. They're not profitable anymore, right? But your conversion rate actually goes up. So let's say, you know, 1 out of 10 people that go to your actual listing go ahead and purchase. When you're running deals, that can quickly turn into 3, 4, even 5 out of 10 people. That's a 50% conversion rate when you're running deals. And I've seen it happen with a lot of my products during Prime Day, during Q4 during the holidays, where my conversion rate goes up. And when I run a sale on top of that, my conversion rate basically doubles, if not triples, right? So again, when somebody zigs, you want to go ahead and zag, right? So you want to go ahead and kind of do the opposite. When people are going ahead and doing less advertising because they fear a recession coming, if you double down, chances are you're going to go ahead and get more market share. Same thing with Prime Day coming up, right? So if you think that most people are not going to go ahead and run deals, it might be beneficial to actually run deals because you might be the only one or a select few people to actually run deals. So always keep that in mind. But they're saying here that, you know, July's coming up, people are going ahead and trying to run deals for July for Prime Day. And they can't because they can't send in enough inventory, right? So I can see this happening for a lot of people. Like, Like, shoot, like I have products that go from selling, you know, 25 units a day to all of a sudden during peak season, going ahead and selling 100 units a day. Right. Like it actually does happen. So this is why it's frustrating with, with Amazon going ahead and holding all of these types of restrictions. And before I get to the main part of what's going ahead and going on, um, I'll go ahead and see if we have any other questions. So no questions on YouTube right now, and on Discord no other questions as well. Okay, again guys, I do these lives for you guys, so if you guys have any questions at all— what's going on in your Amazon FBA business, purchasing Amazon FBA businesses, having struggles as far as what to go ahead and do next— go ahead and put in the chat. Right? Like I'm here to go ahead and help. I've dedicated my time as far as it being six thirty in the morning here in the West Coast, in California, LA time. So I do this before my kids actually wake up. So it works out for me. But if you guys don't have any questions here, let's go ahead and move on to the basically the final piece that I want to go ahead and kind of discuss, which is what's going on with Chinese sellers, right? We discussed on Friday that that loophole, the minus or whatever it might be called. Basically eliminating, you know, Temu and Shein for where they had loopholes as far as not being able to go ahead and implement tax import taxes, getting very cheap shipping from China, basically killing off a lot of dropshippers nowadays as well. And they're scrambling, right? So what are people going ahead and doing, right? Like Chinese sellers on Amazon to hike prices and exit US as tariffs. Soar. So everybody's impacted by tariffs, right? So even if you are a Chinese good supplier, you're impacted by tariffs. And even if you're a US seller, you're impacted by tariffs. But that loophole that was closed on Friday, which we went ahead and discussed on these live streams, and that's why you don't want to go ahead and miss them. Go ahead and like, subscribe, and do all that. Put your notification bells on so you don't miss it. So once that happened, A lot of these Chinese sellers are actually scrambling as far as what to do next, because what they would— what Chinese sellers would do, and I'll go ahead and do a little small recap, is that they would go ahead and drip inventory into Amazon. So instead of going ahead and using full containers to go ahead and ship into Amazon like most people go ahead and do, Chinese sellers used to go ahead and basically ship out in batches, right? So they'll go ahead and ship out 5 cartons today, 100 cartons the next day, 100 cartons the next day, 100 cartons the next day. And each carton is less than $400 or $800. I'm sorry for the loophole to go ahead and close. And they would go ahead and bypass import taxes, right. And import like all these other beneficial tax loopholes that was able to go ahead and be determined and shipping loopholes that were able to be determined by de minimis being closed down. Right. So Chinese sellers now are either hiking prices or exiting the US as tariffs soar. So what are they actually doing? Amazon is in the earnings call. They start noticing is that because of these tariffs announcing, they actually started seeing an influx of sellers applying for VATs in the EU and the UK, right? So people are zigging there, right? So what do you think that the UK and the EU, which again, there's so many, so much red tape going on in the EU and the UK. Like when I went ahead and got my VAT and trying to go ahead and sell, which I'm still selling in those actual countries like Germany, France, Spain, which again, sometimes I feel like it's not worth it. You know, the US marketplace has so many more shoppers, but obviously that's growing. But Chinese sellers and a lot of sellers because of these tariffs are going ahead and shifting their operations from Amazon US to Amazon UK. Right. And eventually Amazon's going to go ahead and focus on those marketplaces where they see more sellers going to. Right. So, there's going to be a lot more, you know, marketing dollars that are going to go ahead and go to those type of countries as opposed to the US, right? Again, Amazon's still going to go ahead and focus on the US, but we're going to go ahead and start seeing some trends as far as like, hey, look, we're, we're having a lot of sellers here. We have more inventory here. Let's go ahead and start shifting our focus and getting more and more people to go ahead and shop in the EU and the UK. But at the same token, that's really good news for Amazon US sellers, right? So there's going to be less competition, the same number of buyers. So in the short term right now, as far as people going ahead and exiting Amazon US, that's a really good thing, right? So again, there's going to be the same amount of people chasing fewer goods, and you can go ahead and start raising your prices again, right? So everything leads towards me going ahead and advocating to start raising your prices already, right? The last thing you want to go ahead and do is you see, you know, your sales go from, you know, maybe 5 to 10 per day, and all of a sudden you get an influx of 100 a day, and you're quickly trying to go ahead and raise prices, um, and then you go out of stock yourself, right? So I would rather you guys go ahead and, you know, uh, kind of start raising prices gradually. But what are your guys' thoughts about this? Like, again, I'm a big fan as far as going ahead and trying to diversify my earnings as far as what I can go ahead and do, especially with Amazon, right? Like, I know Amazon, I know Amazon PPC, I know exactly what to go ahead and put as far as the AI or A9 algorithm with Amazon FBA, right? What I don't know is what people in France are going ahead and looking for, right? Like, that's a completely different type of consumer. So that's why I've always struggled with Um, with going ahead and selling in places like Spain, France, because that's complete— that's basically a completely different business, right? So I'll be interested to see exactly what happens. So again, I'm going to go ahead and check to see if there's any other questions. What's good, boys? There it is, man. Again, Kareem, I saw your message on, on Discord. I'll go ahead and get to it, man. Um, All right, so I guess one of your products got blocked, review blocked. Kareem, this listing is being reviewed for potential compliance requirements and is suppressed until the process— again, man, there's been issues with supplements, especially on new, uh, accounts. Again, if you haven't sold supplements in the past and you're not approved for supplements, it's becoming very, very hard to sell in the supplement space. Again, and if you are approved, like Amazon's going ahead and yanking a lot of listings. You have to go ahead and get certifications through Eurofins or other, you know, basically places that that go ahead and check your label, make sure everything in your actual labeling is compliant when it comes to Amazon FBA, which again brings me back to like Amazon UK and the EU. There's so many different requirements there, like it it will drive you crazy as far as like. You being, um, compliant in every one of those countries. Like, every country in the EU needs the labeling to be in their language, which again, it's like, how, how can I go ahead and expect to make, you know, 4,000 or 5,000 units and everything has to be in unison as far as like the writing for that country, right? So that's why it— I don't think that it's a long-term strategy unless they relax some of these, you know, compliance rules and stuff in these EU and UK countries. UK, UK is probably the easiest to go ahead and try and be successful in. Other than that, it's not. Um, all right guys, so other than that, again, I think I shared it last in the last stream as well. Um, I am purchasing an Amazon FBA business. I finally went into migration, so, um, it's gonna finally be mine in the next few weeks. It's gonna be a supplements brand. Again, that's That's kind of, you know, the reason why I say that is I wanted to purchase a supplement brand because I've always wanted to get into the space. Um, finally an opportunity arose on Empire Flippers, went ahead and kind of negotiated down the price, was able to go ahead and put 50% down now. Uh, ultimately I'm getting the business for under $200,000. Uh, the inefficiencies are there as far as them air shipping a lot of their inventory into Amazon. Um, a lot of the compliance checks have already been done. There are some issues with compliance right now. Um, But it's not enough to kind of sway me not to purchase that Amazon FBA business. And let me kind of pull it up for you guys if I didn't mention it. I don't remember now if I did or not. But again, I'm an open book here. So let me go ahead and share it just to go ahead and show you guys. So the business is called Nutra Labs Naturals, and there is like a trademark dispute issue as well. So obviously it gets fixed, but those are like little things here and there. Purchase details. I'll go ahead and show you guys again, purchasing it for $185,000, putting 50% down, the rest of it seller finance for the next year. So as I grow the business, I can go ahead and scale it out. And kind of the reason why I purchased this actual business, as you can see here, let me go into the financials of it. So let me see here. So big reason why I went ahead and purchased this business, and again, I'll go into a in-depth video specifically. But for you guys in the live, it's you guys will get more details here. You can see these are kind of like their their inventory here, and you know they airship a lot of their inventory. A lot of it's made in China, and the main reason why I went ahead and purchased this brand specifically, and I'll go ahead and show you guys exactly. Exactly why is because they only have one SKU, right? They're driving a lot of traffic, or they're driving traffic onto their actual a lot of their listing page. But all of them are different, right? So most of all of these actual items are a three-month supply, right? Three-month supply, three-month supply. You guys can go ahead and see kind of the the thing there, right? So the cool thing about this is that they only have they have multiple products that are making majority of their sales. So not one product is making up more than 60% of their sales or more than 50% of their sales. And each one of these only have a 3-month supply. So my idea here is we're going to go ahead and fix the inefficiencies. We're going to order enough units to go ahead and ship this by boat. We'll ship this by boat. After that, once we become a little bit profitable there, once we fix the supply chain there, because these guys are out of stock a lot. I can go ahead and show you guys. Like you can see, like out of stock here from March, out of stock here in March again, out of stock here in April. And then if you look at a longer trend, you can kind of see a little bit more like out of stock, out of stock in December, out of stock, out of stock. So you guys see like they're out of stock. So they have a lot of demand. I think it's more of a cash flow issue that ended up happening with this actual brand where like they would wait for Amazon to go ahead and pay them. Then they will reorder the inventory and they were stuck in this cycle, right? They were stuck in this growth phase cycle. Like they came out with a lot of different products. And you can go ahead and see, they came out with multiple different products, right? So what ends up happening there is that you're not able to extract money from your actual business because this business was, let me just go ahead and see how old this business was. So you can go ahead and see here, like this business, basically started back in November of 2022, right? And they started losing money. They just created an Amazon Seller Central account. They were negative when they first started. They became positive in 2023. And they actually just tried— started scaling in 2024 where they actually started making some more money, right? So what ends up happening though is when you're consistently in a growth stage in your Amazon FBA business, you're not able to really extract money. So what ends up happening there? You're trying to reinvest your money the entire time. Coming out with new products, as you see here, coming out with new products. So that's primarily a reason why they wanted to go ahead and sell. But that's the ultimate reason why they were out of stock a lot of times, right? Because they would wait for Amazon to pay them out. They would come out with the new product. They would wait for Amazon to pay them out. They would wait to restock, right? So again, it's a very common thing with Amazon FBA sellers that you're stuck in a seesaw. Like, should I take money out of the business? And if I take money out of the business, am I going to go ahead and I've had my Amazon FBA business suffer. So now, you know, that they have multiple products, the next goal here is obviously fix the inefficiencies, start going ahead and scaling out advertising, go ahead and, and shipping out this through a boat so we can go ahead and save some money on, on freight costs, but also going ahead and offering the customer a different option. You see, now that we're going ahead and funneling more traffic and more advertising into these actual ASINs, now we can go ahead and offer a 1-month supply, right? Like people want to go ahead and try this out. So offer a 1-month supply, maybe offer a 6-month supply, right? So already off the top there, obviously I have to go ahead and do more research, but I can go ahead and see, like, let's, let's look at like the bestseller, right? So again, this is, this is me doing it live for you guys. So you guys can know exactly what I'm kind of looking for. So I like to go ahead and go into like these herbal supplements and seeing what the best are doing, right? So let's go ahead and open these up. Obviously these are, these are price points. These are a little bit more expensive, so I can go ahead and kind of see what they're doing. In this niche. This one's really expensive. So I can go ahead and see there. This is kind of like my product. So what I like to go ahead and do is like, what are they selling and what are they more profitable in? For this one, they sell 120, but you can see here, they have a 90-pack, they have 120, 250, 360. So again, same type of strategy. You don't reinvent the wheel with Amazon FBA, right? You go ahead and just do exactly what other people are going ahead and doing and try and get some market share from them. You see, people try and make Amazon very, very complicated, which it's really not. And actually this product here, when my wife was breastfeeding, she would go ahead and purchase this. But that's not really in my niche or whatever it might be. So same thing here, 30, 60, 120. So same concept, right? Like that's kind of the easiest low-hanging fruit as far as what products to come out with next. What is your competitors doing? And if you're not doing that, that's, the next step to go ahead and do. So, so that's exactly what we're going to go ahead and do with this actual brand here. Really excited to go ahead and take over. Um, obviously there's no guarantee that we're going to go ahead and make money from it, but putting yourself in the best position possible, um, go ahead and eliminate all the other risks. Yeah. That's what I'm struggling with. Payment takes 2 weeks. Yeah. You see, it's a common misconception with, with, with Amazon FBA is just the whole cashflow issue, especially like earlier or late last year, they changed to like a deferred type of payment. So it made it even trickier to go ahead and get more money out. I would have been dominating my category, but Amazon takes weeks to pay me. Yeah, man, it's again, it's a common misconception. And and again, sometimes it's very frustrating. Like the person that I purchased Maverick from, you can see. Let me see. Let me show you guys. So like I purchased Maverick here, right? Like this is I purchased Maverick for $190,000. Like Kind of crazy looking back at it, but it was still an obvious risk. Like I put a hundred. I purchased it for 190. Went ahead and put $100,000 up front, and now I'm selling the business for for 1.8, right? Like that's my list price. Obviously, that's probably not gonna be the sales price that we go ahead and list the business for. But taking a $190,000 business to 1.8—that's that's. Insane. And again, these these results aren't like normal. Obviously, there's other ones like Relax Support that kind of went sideways for me, and we ended up deciding not to go ahead and pursue reordering stuff and everything like that. Just made more sense to go ahead and kill that brand, use it for tax you know saving advantages, X Y and Z. But what I'm trying to say is that Pravin had the same issue. Like I've had the same issue with with mine. Like the next step is to go ahead and take it out loans, getting investors to come in on board. Um, but the same thing with, with Proven happened where like he couldn't go ahead and cash out a lot of money, um, and didn't want to go ahead and, you know, come out with more expensive products because he just didn't have the money to go ahead and do so. It's a very common misconception or very common occurrence when it comes to Amazon FBA sellers, right? Yeah. Like you just don't have that money. And ultimately once you have that money, like Proven's killing it now with a bunch of different brands, a bunch of different products, because he finally has that money to go ahead and actually scale Amazon FBA businesses, right? Right? If you're able to go ahead and have $200,000 from a sale of a business, right? Obviously, you still have to go ahead and pay taxes, but you're able to go ahead and do a lot more than when you're penny-pinching and waiting for Amazon to go ahead and pay you out. So sometimes it actually pays to sell an Amazon FBA business while it's growing, just so you can go ahead and to kind of divert efforts into something else. But all right, guys, I'm trying to see if there's any other questions there. All right, guys. Let me give it maybe thirty more seconds if you guys don't have any other questions regarding what we went ahead and went over today, which again, it's just an update on tariffs, what's going on there, Amazon's earning reports, and what they see going on in you know this quarter upcoming, which is going to be interesting to see what ends up happening. So like we're in May right now. The quarter ends in June. So By July, we'll have already some reports as far as what happened with these actual tariffs. But I think in the next like two or three weeks, like we're really going to go ahead and see how these tariffs are impacting us. But primarily in June is when we'll go ahead and kind of see exactly what's going on. All right, and then just basically after that marketplace, people going ahead and flooding UK, EU, trying to go ahead and you know. Bypass these tariffs into those countries, which again, um, when people zig, you zag. Advertising is going to go ahead and come down as far as the cost per click, so take advantage of that. But other than that, guys, I appreciate you guys tuning in for these live streams. Um, go ahead and make sure to subscribe, like, um, and get your notification bells on because I do this every Monday and Friday for the time being, um, until things change. But again, if you guys are interested in one-on-one scaling your actual Amazon FBA business Description below. How do I get more reviews? I have used Amazon's Vine to get 30 reviews currently on 38 and don't have automatic request reviews for sales. I do have a— we're doing everything right, man. Don't try and do any black hat tactics when it comes to reviews. I know that for the first couple reviews, when I first got started, I would ask friends and family to go ahead and, you know, buy my product and leave a review. It's not worth it. Like, if you have a good product, people are going to go ahead and Leave a good review, right? Like oftentimes the reason why people leave bad reviews is one, you have a shit product, or two, you didn't market it to your actual STP, which is like your segmentation, your targeting, your positioning, your customer avatar, right? So what if you do all of those things right? You're going to get good reviews because people are only going to request this actual product if it fits their needs, right? So you're doing everything right. Would you recommend changing markets? From US to Canada due to the high tariff going on right now. Again, that's what people are doing, right? But you gotta, you gotta understand that, you know, the US marketplace is the biggest marketplace maybe combined, right? So taking into account every single Amazon Japan, UK, EU, Canada, Mexico, right? Uh, US just swallows them up. So yes, maybe it's time to go ahead and start dripping some inventory into Canada and into the UK. But trust me, man, I would not go ahead and put all my eggs in one basket on other, other marketplaces unless it's the US. So test, test those markets out though. Like if that's really what you want to go ahead and do, test those markets out. But I wouldn't go ahead and dedicate 100% of my time to it. But again, what Ignacio just said, right? It's it's more and more people are thinking to go ahead and do that, which again, once they run out of stock on the U.S., once they know that they're not really profitable, that's less competition. So Ignacio, again, go ahead and follow this YouTube channel and everything like that. Try and check out all the different strategies that I'm going ahead and doing in my business to better help your business. And that's by raising prices already, man. So again, it might hurt in the short term. You might not get a lot of sales now. But once your competition starts running out of stock, once your competition starts going into to those other marketplaces. And once an agreement is already in place, you're gonna be in stock on Amazon. You're gonna be getting more sales at a more profitable rate. That might take time though. Alright guys, so I'm out of here. Peace.
