#42 How to sell on Amazon with Vicki Weinberg

The Handmade Business Podcast

On today's episode (the last of season 2 whilst we take a break for the summer) - we finish on a massive high, with Vicki Weinberg who is an Amazon Product Coach and Expert

Vicki takes us through her journey of starting her own product business selling Bamboo Products on Amazon after her second child was born out of necessity to be more flexible around her children (a very familiar story around here!!)

But having never sold products before and especially on a huge market place like Amazon, Vicki quickly realised she had a lot of learning to do. However 6 months later she had a range and began documenting her journey down in her blog hoping to help and inspire other small business owners also selling on Amazon.

Then Vicki started having people actually contact her directly asking for her help and guidance with their own shops, and so she moved away from the selling of her products and moved into a coaching role.

Vicki helps us understand so many things about Amazon in this episode and our favourite parts were the nitty gritty bits where Vicki discusses her HONEST opinion on selling Handmade products on Amazon Handmade vs Amazon itself.

We delve into what it takes to start selling well, and even touch on an incident that involved Vicki having to buy her own products back off the website in order to sell them again - all will makes sense when you listen in.

Vicki shares a great resource that she has created which will help new sellers get set up and raring to go so check that out here

We touch on why listings from other market places might not transfer directly from say Etsy for example, and why they might need tweaking, and how to go about that in the best way.

Vicki shares some great ways to promote your Amazon shop/products and we also touch on the fascinating topic of Amazon Vine - which we had never heard of but are so intrigued by - Anna would like an account now please :)

Finally Vicki shares how it is more than possible to sell one product and be mega successful rather than needing an entire shop like on other market places - this was very interesting and some great food for thought.

We hope you like this end of season episode and look forward to seeing you soon on the other side!

Happy Summer Sellers xoxo Lynsey and Anna xoxo
