# 8 Reflections After Re-Entering Amazon FBA and E-Commerce

* * *

Since we are in transition on the show schedules (moving to 4 podcasts a month and the e-commerce gladiator on Tuesdays) I couldn’t get a call in time with Roland as per usual – so I’m going to go through some solo reflections on what we have been learning and what I am noticing in Amazon FBA in 2018.

## Topics Covered in this Episode

*   

#### Private Label Still Takes Time!
    
    Sure, we could have started with no branded items, maybe would have been faster- but like what we are building.
    
*   

#### Picking a Category vs Various Products
    
    Still like category / niche versus a whole bunch of random products that data shows can sell well.
    
*   

#### Amazon Customers Feel Like gods
    
    Seriously they have all the leverage and they know it!
    
*   

#### Still Believe It Is All About Brand
    
    While I worry about competition, still believe long term value is in the brand, and still believe Amazon is the best place to launch it. Unless unique enough for Kickstarter.
    
*   

#### Leveraging a Lot of Skills I Use in The Global From Anywhere content world
    
    At least for the off-Amazon part – blog writers, web, social media posting, systems. My course Scale By outsourcing put to the test again.
    
*   

#### Building a New Team Is the Biggest Investment
    
    Seriously, that is where a lot of the time has been spent.
    
*   

#### It is About Consistency
    
    Just like anything in life, need to put in the work daily.
    
*   

#### Excited to leverage my network
    
    Colombia coffee, more partners, more leverage.
    
*
