FIRST WORD

As you may imagine, and hopefully as you’ve come to expect, we’ve got some great things for you this week.

For starters, we’ve got two incredible — and free — webinars coming up today.  They were announced in the last two NLs, you probably got an email yesterday, and today is the day.

See the next section, Special Webinars, for links to sign up.

How important is owning your own brand?  In The World Of Amazon we take a look at an example of what can happen when a large brand owner moves in, eliminating resellers.  Then, under Sellers’ Paradise we’ve got more helpful insight, a discussion of the value of Affiliate marketing, and under Tips & Tricks learn how to easily update your transactions and data when needed.

Be sure to get in on today’s special webinars!

SELLERS’ PARADISE

Affiliate marketing is the world’s most untapped source for generating passive income. What is affiliate marketing exactly?

The best definition of what affiliate marketing is can be found on Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income:

Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.

If you’re looking either to sign up affiliates for your own programs, or to become an affiliate yourself, here’s some great info from marketing genius, Neil Patel:

TIPS & TRICKS

In MBS Transactions are updated daily.  Each day you should see Transactions through the previous day.

If you would like to get Transactions further back than what Amazon provides automatically to MBS, you can generate a report in your Seller Central, then use the MBS Plugin to pull that info and update your data.

Note: If you don’t have the MBS Plugin, the steps are in the Knowledge Base here:

Get The MBS Chrome Plugin

It takes just a few seconds to get the plugin.

To update data, first generate a report in Amazon:

Select the Transaction report type, and set the From and To dates for the range of dates you’re missing:

You  might need to Refresh until the report is generated.

Once generated and available for Download, go to your ManageByStats, under Statistics, and set the same Starting date and click the Download Data button:

It will let you know when complete, and it can then take several hours after that for the data to finish populating.

 

THE WORLD OF AMAZON

For over a decade the Amazon marketplace worked as a way to get brands unwilling to sell directly to Amazon onto the platform. Most brands would refuse to sell to Amazon, but their products would still end up on Amazon because a few small retailers would list them there …

Brands woke up to Amazon. This happened in the last few years. First, brands tried to control distribution on Amazon through only allowing a set list of sellers. Second, they tried to become sellers themselves. And most recently they started hiring Amazon agencies to manage their presence on the platform …

A man walks into a bar and there’s a bunch of meat hanging from the ceiling. The man asks the bartender, “What’s the deal with the meat?” The bartender explains that if you jump and slap a piece of meat, you get to drink free for the night, but if you miss, you must buy drinks for everyone in the bar. The man responds, “No thanks, the steaks are too high.”
