it so Angie first of all thank you for being here thank you for having me it is
so long you know it's been incredible the the height that I hear about you and
I heard about you so quickly you know how oh you've gotta meet Angie you've
gotta meet Angie and just how first of all everyone falls in love with you once
they meet you but just because of such a great story you know and oftentimes
people are looking for you know there are almost unbelievable stories but
what's cool about this is this is a story where it shows you where you use a
system and you just put hard work in and you follow it and what's totally
possible from it so maybe what you can do I'm gonna stop talking I'm going to
turn the mic over to you if you could share with everyone you know the story
of where you came from how you came across this business model and where it
took you from there yeah for sure um so basically it was
about three and a half years ago and I was definitely looking for an
opportunity I had just gone through a divorce I had to just leave a previous
business that I was doing and I was kind of starting over from scratch and I was
working a nine-to-five job doing customer service at a a lighting
manufacturing company and it wasn't enough I wasn't making enough to support
my kids or really have any kind of future like I wanted to so I was pretty
desperate to find something and honestly it probably took me two years of looking
and looking into different opportunities and one of my friends had bought the
amazing selling machine course and she was doing it and she was doing fairly
well so and to be honest at first I thought oh it's probably like an MLM or
some kind of pyramid scheme it-- to be honest that was my first thought and I
was just like nah I don't want to look into it and I actually passed i I could
have been a sm3 but I just was too skeptical and I didn't want to look into
it because it's it seemed actually a bit too real to be true for me also and then
I heard another person that was doing it and finally I
was like Ari I need to just check into this and see what it's all about and
then I realized it's just it's really just a course and it's not you know a
multi-level thing and and people do this course which is based on successful
actions on how people do really well selling on Amazon and they're selling
products that's all they're doing they're just listing and selling
products on Amazon and you know I I didn't have a lot of e-commerce
experience and I actually never had sold or bought anything on Amazon but I had a
bit of marketing you know I enjoyed marketing and I had a little bit
experience in that and I had you know an idea of a product line that I could
probably get into and so then I went ahead and got the course and that was
sort of got me started and I think one of the things that people talk about
with me is because I I moved really fast I went from I mean the first couple
months was it as a bit of getting used to the course and studying and figuring
it all out because it was all new to me but then after that couple of months
it's like I had a product and it was up on Amazon and then I went from you know
zero to doing sixty thousand dollars a month in sales in just six months and
then by the time that year was over I was doing a hundred thousand a month in
sales and then I think four months later I was at like 200 thousand a month in
sales and then you know in about two years I was hitting the 500 thousand a
month in sales mark and there's a lot that contributed to me growing that fast
with the business but it was definitely not anything I ever expected but it was
really exciting so you know that you know I have to be honest with everyone
like this is a journey for everybody and we have students that don't implement
anything just you know and they don't achieve success like Angie does and so I
don't want anyone on this call to think like this is a guaranteed success but
what I do want to share with you is that people that take advantage of this
opportunity and really own it and I think you know own your success own what
it is you want to achieve this is an
incredible incredible Avenue to be able to follow you know and Andy maybe you
could share too because a lot of people seem to get still a little bit confused
on the idea of what being in a brand seller means like what a private label
seller is and you know how this isn't you're not in partnership setting and
you don't know us 5% or you don't know in a downline like this is your own
brand could you expand on that a little bit yeah yeah for sure
so I mean what I found is the course first of all the course was very very
easy to understand so being someone who doesn't really know anything about
e-commerce or Amazon at all I had a really easy time going through watching
the videos and learning how to do everything and I really appreciate that
by about the course because I've done other courses and nothing was quite as
easy and there was never that support group to go to also when you had
questions so I really did appreciate that about the course and it made it a
lot easier but I mean the first thing was like look on Amazon and see what
selling see what people are interested in and um you know I picked a product
that I thought would be good and there was a whole category that I felt like I
could expand into you and I literally just on my own and went out I found a
supplier for those products um I created my own label had my own label like
created my own brand name and put my own label and brand on the products and
literally just had it shipped to Amazon so I use Amazon Fulfillment Center I
shipped to the fulfillment center which every you know all the modules tell me
how to do that so it was really easy and once it was there I created my listing
with Amazon and um I used some Amazon marketing and
I sell my product and then I mean Amazon pays pays out every like two weeks I get
I get all the money from the sales of my product I determine my own price and
Amazon takes their whatever their percentage is for you know selling on
their platform and their fulfillment fees and I'm you know easy making twenty
to thirty percent profit in my pocket and it's all my money and I can
determine how much I'm selling my product for I can really decide how much
I want to sell of my product based on how much I want to put in marketing it
and it's my own thing it's my business and very cool yeah so you know
and that's one of the things that you know I really want to stress is that you
know this is creating something that you build we just provide you know it's you
you teach a man how to fish or as the same because you teach a person how to
fish rather than fishing for them that's what this is for people that you know
you know and not everyone's meant to be an entrepreneur not everyone's meant to
be a business owner you know people ask Mel channel this is so great like why
don't all your employees do it and in fact it's some of my employees do do it
some of them have businesses other ones they just don't want to it's not their
cup of tea some people don't like running a business however if you're
sitting there and you want to run the business if you feel that you know I
know how I was when I was working from 9:00 to 5:00 9:00 to 5:00 I wish but
when I was working those hours lying in someone else's pocket you know barely
making anything for the input I put in I knew I wanted something different I knew
I didn't want to work for somebody else I knew you I wanted to create my own
path and since 2005 I'm very proud of being able to do that and Amazon has
helped me tremendously over the last five years because it is such an
incredible model so if you fit that you know just like Angie did if you were
ready to take control you know this is just such a beautiful model and again if
you haven't checked it out make sure to check out the free training series at
amazing some chain comm where it covers everything that Angie's talking about
here regarding the amazing sound machine of course so Angie when you got started
like what was you know I'd love to know the story you know as you were sitting
there because so many times we have people that you know they're the very
first person to it to join like when we open the doors and there's other people
that have sitting there waited days and days and kind of just at the last minute
did it where were you on that path when you signed up well I was like in the
last hour right before the doors are about to close and it's not because I
didn't want to be the first one I actually did not have the money I had no
resources I had no financing I had no credit cards I had no way I was so broke
I had no way to come up with the money for the course but it was so important
to me to do it and I knew it was valuable to have anyway it was likely
early in those last hours and I was I happen to be at an event and I ran into
a friend of a friend who had also heard about the course and we ended up
connecting at this event and she was like well I have the money to buy this
course but I don't have the time to do it now like oh I had the time to do it
but I don't have the money it was literally like that in last hour we
bought the course and so kind of one of those magical moments which was great
but that's what I did very cool so then when you joined you know one of the
things that we always mentioned to people
it's just follow the system because and anyone that is interested in joining I
just want to make this very clear so there's really two steps to this
business model so what we teach with the amazing selling machine is how to get
from point A to point Z as effective as possible and that means getting your
first product up and live on Amazon we also teach you a little bit of scaling
and growth but really those lessons are what's taught once you start selling
once you get all that experience and everything and we have other programs
other training that we do help get to the next level but it's really about
just getting your own brand up and selling on Amazon so there's going to be
different criteria for what you're looking for in a product for example as
to when you're established so some people might be on a call on the call
right now and saying oh I have this great idea for a product but I don't
know if it would sell well we'd follow you through assistance so you could
identify yes this product there are other similar products that look like
they're selling on Amazon so that means it's a good product to potentially sell
if there isn't well then there's a huge risk for you because you as a brand new
seller you have to now guess whether or not this is you know because there's no
proof there's no proof and tell you you start selling so with all that said I'm
curious for you what was your process when the eight weeks rolled out for you
when you joined like did you take action right away were you one of the ones that
you sat there too long what did you do it if you could have changed anything
what would it be okay well first I'll admit that I'm guilty of actually not
following the course a couple of times and
but me too trouble both times learn some more lessons that's good
yeah at the very beginning I was sort of reading through doing the modules and
watching the videos and I kind of maybe jumped the gun and I was like I have
this product and I know it's gonna be great and then because I love this and
of course I can sell it and I literally got it and I sent it to Amazon and it in
it sucked so that was my first product and I did that you know within I mean
was before the eight weeks is over probably I was like four weeks into it
and I was like I know what I'm doing and I put this product and and it was just
trickling I mean I was making some sales but it was nothing like what I wanted or
what I thought was gonna be viable and um I actually went to one of my friends
I'm like what am I doing wrong I'm the face to mention to me like well you know
that you picked the right product and I'm like well I don't know actually so
then I went and I really studied the modules and it was very very night and
day clear that I had picked the wrong product like there's no doubt about it
when I actually sat down and really watched the training on how to pick all
of a sudden I was like wow duh you know why didn't I figure this I didn't even
read the I must not have watched those videos so yeah and it's funny house you
know and I father it come to that myself sometimes too because I'm impatient you
know you think like I can just give them their saw this looks like a great
product but yeah so follow the system because you can hear proof right there
that she tried pack baby in her own way and it it hurt her so instead she had to
kind of restart and follow the system from that point on so when when you did
finally kick in and you're like okay I got this now when did you really see
that oh my goodness this is gonna work yeah so I mean that was probably I was
probably two months into like I bought the course was two months later and I
was struggling with that one product I went back I watched the videos and then
I was like okay I went out there and I immediately found I think three products
that I could immediately get from my supplier that I could and turn around
fast so I got one of those up within weeks and it started doing really well I
got the next one month later a nice from a month later
and then I went from like doing pretty much nothing to I don't know like seven
or ten thousand a month just in those couple of months of launching those
first products and then that's when I shot up in that six month period I was
doing the 60,000 a month so they they ramped up pretty quickly after that so
then did you you know there's so many strategies of some people that they'll
just you know stick with the same prior I can flesh note long time though then
expand on that product line some people who just duplicate their product what
path did you follow so I kept the same brand and I just kept adding more and
more products that I thought kind of complemented my existing products and I
I actually really liked that because I started finding a lot of people were now
buying multiples of my products they wouldn't just buy one thing and come in
and buy several items that's been really good and so how so how many products you
have now and how many brands you have so I have one brand and I have 40 products
but I'm in the US and I'm in Canada and I'm not like in the five countries in
Europe okay 40 products multiplied by different countries so you know that's
one of the things a lot of people will argue about as well - these are people
that you know I mean obviously you've never experienced something it's hard to
understand but a lot of people think oh well don't you need to start you know
your own website what about going on door Amazon eBay all these other things
and time and time again when I asked any of my successful students its well
really 90% of everything I do comes from Amazon even though I'm on those other
areas is that true for you as well yep yeah you know I've looked at going
on Walmart and other other places but the amount of effort you have to put
into you you know the amount of what you get back is so small that just doesn't
it doesn't make sense I mean I do want to build off Amazon but and I started
doing that but I didn't even have my own website for the whole first year
so I was in business and to me it was just maximize my efforts on Amazon and
amazon.com because it is the larger of the marketplaces so I focused on that
and that's where I did the most amount of my money and made the most amount of
profits yeah and that's so wise and you know
it's been great that you know that I've been able to help so many students over
so many years now because you can hear these stories over and over again and
then you start you can really focus in on this is the real path to success and
what we're finding is that but any that really sticks to it and flushes out an
Amazon directly seems to have the most benefit you know by focusing on trying
to do everything else but in fact as you just said I'm so on on Amazon USA yeah
well I'm is on Comm Amazon and Canada in Europe like you're expanding all over
the place without having to really do anything different you know like yeah
you have to now all of a sudden open up your Amazon sellers European accounts
but you've already got your products on Amazon so it's very easy to kind of get
transitioned what's next for you so it sounds like you're dominating amazon.com
you're you're starting to take over my country in Canada you've got Europe
what's your next move for scaling this Empire you're building I mean I want to
basically 5x what I'm doing this year in Amazon and I want to build heavily like
my Shopify store so I do have my own website and I do want to start we have
been building that but I have a lot more efforts going into it this year and I
want to have that be doing at least 25% of what my Amazon sales are doing you
know and that's such a beautiful strategy because it's really about
getting you know established in certain areas really owning it making sure
you're comfortable and then now switching and really expand your Shopify
because there is no doubt about it once you've got your you know your business
really rocking and rolling Shopify is like any building any third party
ecommerce store is really a must do so five times this year that's impressive
so something I haven't done yet I'm really sorry and I realized we're
already like over twenty minutes into this is I haven't actually gotten any
interaction with their audience so we've got a bunch of people you'll be
surprised to know that Athena is on this call so I didn't know you know that
that's shocking
yes good theater so anybody that is listening right now
if you have any questions at all for Angie please post them in there we'll do
our best to be able to answer them but I see one for right now Tony's he says how
do I get started and how much does it cost so I'll answer this in two ways so
first of all I'm gonna answer how you get started and I would head over to
amazing selling machine comm um I will put a video I put a link in the comment
line and we've got a free training series that will walk you right through
the process but maybe Angie you can share how much does it cost you get
going with this business um I mean I paid for the course was what four
thousand dollars um and what I liked about that is it's not just the course
and that's when people ask me it's something that I think is really
important because to me the course was a good part of the value but I would say
like 70 percent of the value is the community is the the help the mentorship
the ongoing mentors that help you the private community that you're part of
you can ask questions and interact with everybody else and people share like
their successes and things that they did that worked or are referrals for
shipping companies whatever just the resources and the help to me is is
probably 70% of the value and the fact that it it's ongoing and any updates
you're always getting the updates when when Amazon makes changes because they
make changes and that's all vital and to me that is worth every penny I mean I
made that back in like my first couple of months selling on Amazon it paid back
for itself so the investment it seems like a lot of money it seemed like a lot
of money for me when I was broke and I had nothing but looking at as far as a
business investment it is actually really really inexpensive it's such a
good point and you know at the end of the day I get it you know for some
people four thousand dollars is just not
realistic and you know and that's why we provide the free training but once you
join the amazing selling machine you see everything that we put into it you see
the mentors we have constantly in there you see our training is constantly
updated it's not like you know it's updated once every couple of years like
every six months it's completely updated you know we're very proud of all this
but we're most proud of like our students in our network and you know as
Angie well as Angie that's right said is you know the the the community and when
you go you know we're going to be hosting the live event in Orlando called
silicon in a couple months and and it's just maybe you could share a little bit
of that because just the community that it creates and the experience that you
have yeah I mean I'm very excited to go to cellar con I've been attending your
live events ever since I signed up three and a half years ago actually that was
it was a huge change in my business because I had started selling in like
September and it was February when the first event happened so it was good it
was a good timing for me for my business it was a couple of months or a few
months and I had gotten started and I got a product out and then I went to my
first live event and even though there was a lot there was a lot of information
a lot of speakers a lot of great data and to be honest a lot of it was over my
head being a new seller but it was just a few key things that I got from that
event and I implemented in my business and my business over the next few weeks
doubled and then tripled a couple weeks later so it was huge I mean the amount
of expansion they did after that event was huge I need to really emphasize
something here so she's not being paid to be on here we didn't tell her what to
say these are her results and again like this is because she's taken action she
went to the live event she networks she found people she has a huge network now
but it's implementing what you learn from there and taking action and
it's the same thing with the training wouldn't you agree it's it's about just
taking action and really jumping in and owning it you know people pay this money
it's amazing actually it shocks me at times that people will pay this money
and then they'll do things and I'll ask them and there's obviously did not go
through the trick and right why are you robbing yourself you know
the whole idea is it's like you've got the privilege for this education for
learning off of like thousands of sellers now like it's this community all
interacts together like there is no way anybody just starting on their own could
be more successful out of the gate than following in this course like I just
can't see how it would be possible so you know do yourself a favor if you're
serious about this you know join but make sure you follow the system so I've
got some questions now that we're gonna be directed at you so I'm going to put a
little bit of pressure on you from our audience
serious but so amid acts how do you manage all the products and following up
with its process overall amazed that you have 40 products distributed all over
the world huh more or less like how are you able to manage your business with 40
products okay so I'll admit that I'm not like super sophisticated I don't use any
any program that manages I just like literally I mean I you I do actually
have a couple tools and I use managebystats which is you know a tool
we you know promote it yeah so I mean that helps me a lot to isolate how much
my sales are and what my profit and expenses are so I mean that is a big
part and that just automatically pulls the data from Amazon and shows me what I
need to know so a lot of what I need is that and then otherwise I use Excel
spreadsheets I download information I figure out how much I'm selling it so I
think maybe something that you could clarify for them because you know this
is actually one of the benefits to using solar central and SBA and everything is
that you actually don't have to manage things daily from that's not true we all
that's not true you
has to be managing certain things daily but because of what Amazon does you
actually don't have to be in the details like that so maybe explain what your
days like managing this business yeah I mean it's it's pretty easy I mean I have
staff now obviously that do a lot of it for me I mean to be honest at this point
I probably spend maybe a day or two a week in my office or a couple hours a
day I mean I just got back from being gone for like nine days in Hawaii so I
do have the luxury of being able to do that at this point I have about thirteen
staff in my office there some are dedicated specific to Amazon some are
specific to other things but I mean the typical day is I come in
you know we handle customer service any emails anything that we can do to keep
our customers happy get reviews things like that any kind of promotions that
we're doing on our products any Facebook advertising or anything that we want to
do to help drive traffic and boost our sales otherwise just looking over the
account looking over the account looking over everything making sure things are
converting maybe once a week we manage our Amazon advertising go in there tweak
some stuff here and there and and then I'd say that the most of the rest of our
time is spoke is spent on looking for new products there cool yeah and
everybody is gonna run their business differently I know people that are doing
phenomenal that still have like only one employee now they just they like to do
as much as possible I'm not what I recommend I like the following Angie's
path where it's you know your time should be always spent on being able to
grow your business and be on those higher levels but it you know the big
thing too I guess with that question like it wasn't like you hired people
right away how long did you wait at what point your business were that you
started hiring people yeah I'd say four six months I mean the
first six months of my business I actually had two jobs so I worked my
other job still full-time and I worked Amazon when I could evenings weekends
whenever so I was working a lot I was taking everything that I was making from
Amazon and putting it back in because I would you know you'd have one product
and then that would be increasing so you need more inventory and then I wanted
another product so now I needed money for inventory for a new product and I
just kept doing that until I was you know building my product so I had
several products and I was able to keep up with the growth of the sales so I did
that for about six months and then after six months was when I found I could kind
of extract myself I quit my other job and focus full-time on Amazon and within
a couple months after that I hired my first employee first it was part-time
for a few weeks and I rapidly needed her to start going full-time after that I
had one other employee actually probably for a good year before I even hired
another one but then but then I started my own manufacturing company so that's
kind of a whole nother thing but I decided to do all my own manufacturing
and so then they hired staff to do that so this is what I love about your story
is like I said there are some people that simply they don't have an office
they work in their living room they have a couple you know out sourced employees
and they just do this for a lifestyle where they know they just have to work a
few hours every day on the business it can work on growing it and they can take
it that way and there's other people that hire all their family you know they
create a big family corporation more or less out of this and then there's other
people like you that are like now I want to do everything so you go not only
selling to making the product and growing but it had to start with just
one thing so you started selling on Amazon finding a passion for doing
something you really love and then although becoming your own manufacturer
yes and how many years did it take for that transition I mean I would say it
was probably a year and a half after I got started where I started really doing
my own manufacturing and then about a year ago I started manufacturing for
others nice oh no that's just growing and growing so
it's always so cool talking to you I love hearing stories like this yeah yeah
I love it one and I I've been able to do so much
since I started this course and since I've been doing what I've been doing it
it's my life is never like it's ever been before and that's a good thing yeah
I just want to make sure we're gonna add that part cool I want to ask you this
question from Sarah Kane she says hi Angie I'm a disabled single mom can I do
this from home without having to leave the house lunch yeah I mean for sure so
you know Sarah that is one of the good things I'm trying to get across actually
with what else um but with the path that Angie took compared to others um you
this really is a virtual thing now the big difference is you know what country
you live in to where you sell and the only thing I say that for is because
when you're originally getting your products you always want to look at your
inventory initially you know you could use freight forwarders but if you you
know for example if you're living in you know even Canada and you're gonna sell
on in the u.s. you would want to be able to get samples so if you're living in
the US and sell in the US it is so easy because you can get products sent right
to your house you can send them to Amazon if you live in a country like
Canada there are some things like that it makes it a little bit trickier to be
able to management we cover everything there in fact as I say that there's
still no reason to leave your house there really isn't everything can be set
up online as long as you can get things mailed to where you are
yeah there's yeah that's it you have to be on the phone a couple times I guess
to answer some questions tam is on maybe one customer support stuff happens would
that be about it yeah no that's what I that's why I started this business
because I wanted to be mobile I was actually planning to have an office and
and all that but you know at the beginning I was I needed to be mobile
and you need to have my laptop and be able to do something whenever and
wherever I was and that stat is actually why I started this business and that's
what I love about it yeah and it's true you know and you have to be careful
sometimes sometimes you think it you're part of that process now is
I guess this is logically what you do but I found and I've been through this
you know I quit my job 13 years ago and then I found a few years later it's like
wait a second now I'm back in an office this is why I quit my job so you know
you gotta it's the freedom of having this is just incredible very very cool
did you start with an American supplier did you use out of a Bubba so um I'll
just say that I'm in the Beauty category so I you know beauty products you don't
want to buy from China so I do everything in the USA very cool well I
have bought things from overseas and I've imported stuff but it's not the
majority of my business okay okay I want to read this so Wiktoria
with a w that's a very pretty name can't wait to see you at seller con you're
such an inspiration I want to share this with my mom once I'm also successful
with Amazon I sent her your story she's so inspired by you thank you for sharing
your value inspiring other months that have a hard time out there I appreciate
so do you work a lord or have help well so we know you have employees now but
you started in a business partnership correct
yeah well that was very short-lived um yeah so that was like for for the first
month or two and then I ended up going my own way so I've been pretty much
doing this in building this on my own and that's been how long now three years
three and a half years about okay all right cool so I'm trying I think if I
have any other questions that I want to ask you let me see here if there's any
other questions main board I love seeing this the course is worth every penny how
did you design your brand what did you what was the process used does I mean my
brand I mean I just kind of looked at what the bestsellers were out there
already like who's the top sellers on Amazon what are the top selling brands
of my type of prod in the stores just kind of research and
like I you know I surveyed I did some different designs and surveyed some
different things with friends and friends of friends to see you know would
you buy this and you like this design and do you like this brand name I just
surveys ask different people and narrowed it down to look and products
and pricing and all that very cool so again I just wanted to remind if you go
to amazing selling machine comm we've got lots of training for you if you want
to know about how to find products how to you know the idea is behind brands
and all of those kind of things go check it out it amazing sell machine calm and
please please please please like and share this post it really helps us I
mean we're loving the reactions that we're getting on Facebook lives that's
why we're doing this I've got more another awesome Facebook live happening
tomorrow where we're going to be teaching you about cash flow in this
business but today we wanted to share with you a success story so if you have
any questions for Angie at all let us know you know if you want to know you
know her story anything or if you want to ask some questions about Amazon we're
going to be on for about fifteen more minutes and then we'll go from there
so another question here how quickly did you add your additional products so I
had one product for a couple months and then I would say within that next month
I had another new one the next month a new one the next month a new one so that
was sort of my first like six months build-up and then I realized how
important it was to actually have that as part of my machine like I would watch
the guys that were doing millions a month on Amazon and they had people that
that's all they did for them they sourced and launched products and they
actually had a regular you know it's a regular thing like there was so many
happening every day or every week or whatever every month so I started
putting more attention on you know every quarter I'm gonna have whatever for new
products or something like that and I would every time I would look and source
I would look for the next like five or ten products I wanted to do so that I
could be moving on all of them and getting samples whatever I needed to do
so I had regular you know regular system going on
of being able to launch new products and that's been really important for my
growth I've seen it in you know friends that are doing you know two million a
month and things like that that that's something that's really important so I
mean obviously there's the right time to add a product and there's the wrong time
to add a product and you know I've seen people do it both ways
so you definitely need to make sure that you're financially able to support and
your focus is still able to be there on the products that you have like you have
people you know either you have employees or things turned over so
that's like the focus is still on those products you can add more and the
finance is there where you're not gonna lose you're not gonna not be able to
replenish your other products because you spent that money on a new product
now and now you're gonna run out of inventory or something like that so you
kind of know when the time is right for focus and money that's the key things I
would say and then it's like launch an X product as fast as possible like
launching products yeah launching products is huge and you know that's one
of the great things about the community with ASM too is that you can ask these
questions you can ask people look I'm thinking of expanding this is where I am
in my business what do you think and you get that all that feedback so you know
because we don't it this is hard to do alone and Angie I know you can vouch for
this as you said you're the beauty market you know the beauty market is
going to be completely different than the house and home market and like
customers will react to things promotion everything will be different but by
working in a community we're all sharing what's working and helping one another
and talking about helping you've also not only have you help people because of
being able to hire people but you also helped a lot of people through charity
and everything that has been happening because of this business you've been
able to build maybe you could share a little bit of that because you know
something that I'm a huge believer and you know and I love that you are as well
too it's about making this world a better
place you know this is this can be a tough place and it's our job you know to
be able to help others and the joy you get from that so maybe you could share a
little bit of that yeah for sure I mean there's definitely
some different charities that I'm very passionate about and you know I care
about the whole thing on like child trafficking and stuff like that and
human rights and you know I I like to be able to help as much as I can and I will
help volunteering my time as much as I can but if I'm able to help fund
different campaigns that are going to actually you know stop child trafficking
or something like that you know I feel very honored to be able to support that
sort of thing and I know about fifty percent of my income last year went to
charities that I care about and that I'm passionate about and you know it helped
a lot and you know because of that I get to you know I've been you know awarded
with you know just presented with different awards and things like that
for my contribution which I'm really proud of and yeah it's something that I
really enjoy being able to do for sure I've never been able to do it in any
level like this prior so the fact that I can do that now is really really good oh
very proud of you that's very cool I love people that give back so hang on so
like I just wanted did you reinvest all your profit back into the other product
so did you continue to invest it into your first product how soon did you
launch yourself good so so this is a good question too because a lot of
people hope they could sign up right away and start earning a living like
right away so maybe you can explain a little bit the process you followed and
when you were able to actually start taking money out and what and obviously
this is your story not what everyone has to do yeah well I think it also depends
on what your purpose is for starting this business I mean I personally like
to build a big business my purpose was to do millions every year and do it as
fast as possible so for me in order to do that I needed to put as much back in
as possible to grow my first product and add new products so that was my
intention for the first six months now because I was working two jobs I needed
to be able to quit my other job and you Amazon full time so I had to at some
point take out some money for me to survive but I took out and I
lived on a shoestring budget for as long as I could
so that I could keep putting the money back in and keep growing and you know I
I grew and I have you know I have 40 products now and and to be honest I
didn't add as many products as I had planned to last year I wanted to have a
hundred products right now so I'm like you know damn it but like that's like me
right yep but for most people it's like they could put money back in and
probably start taking some money back out I mean I would say there's probably
a few months of getting your product going and rolling and making enough
where you're gonna take some out but you want to be a believe some in for growth
but I'd say after a few months you should be able to do that yeah
and you know and that the thing is though I think you've got to be clear
with yourself what you want this to be - and I think that you hit on something
that is a struggle for people - like they're hearing your story like half a
million dollars a month and growing and you plan to do five times that that year
remember first of all you're not Angie and Angie's not you she's on her own
path this is how she's following you know as you've heard or say like she's
on this agenda to grow this big business now what does that mean that means that
she's out sacrificing certain things to be able to do that that means she
doesn't get it to watch those TV shows that other people might want to watch
you know and so that's her path what's that
never I never watch TV ever come on Days of Our Lives maybe in the afternoon
conscious is that even on anymore oh but oh but it's just about like you know you
have to make choices and the other the cool thing though is if your choice is
that I just want to get this started you know I might only want to earn like a
couple thousand dollars a month extra my goal might not be to do this my goal
might be they said I want to be able to help contribute or I want to be able to
afford something more I want to get a nice car you know and we have people
that are doing that and it really it's your input and you know something
because I see a lot of questions and I might have caused a little bit of
fusion here when I said because when I was talking to the person about ever
leaving home if you would everywhere there there's a list of countries and if
you go to amazing sell Machine calm and octane I believe it's in video 2 where
we give you might be video 1 where we give you the list of countries that it's
hard to sell on from Amazon I believe Nigeria for example is one of
them and there's some other countries like that where am Mazon just doesn't
allow people that live there to be able to sell on a platform look for every
other country out there we make it work like if you're and we'll teach you
exactly how to do it and it's not really that hard and in fact we recommend
because there's a question here I'm in the UK do you recommend selling on
amazon.com absolutely but what's different is a
couple years ago I would have said 100 percent don't do anything else just go
to amazon.com but things are changing now Amazon is growing by leaps and
bounds and now Amazon Germany Amazon UK Amazon Spain these are all huge markets
that if you're already over in Europe it's just easier you might as well get
started right on Amazon UK what's your opinion on that edgy yeah I mean I'd say
40% of my sales are actually from Europe um which is a high percentage I think
relatively speaking but I went over there and I love the diversity and it is
like they're uh marketplaces that I would say are up-and-coming they're not
flee as saturated as calm but I I still love expanding on amazon.com um but I
like having the diversity in Europe I mean I've had primed a for example where
I'll get primed a deals in the US and I'll get primed a deals in several
countries in Europe and I think I did over like a hundred and fifty thousand
dollars just on prime day this last year um which was kind of just mild really
but it was nice having that kind of a day but but a big chunk of that also
came from Europe cool yeah well there's no denying that amazon.com if you're the
top selling product in amazon.com you're you're destroyed with the results of the
top product on Amazon in Europe is but that also means you have that much more
competition and it is you know it is getting a little bit more aggressive but
stephannie thean Mike Payne amazon.com like you want to be on amazon.com
because there's just so much traffic but you know for complications and
strategies it's just easier if you're in a country so then now I'm opening up
another can of worms people can also if I'm in amazon.com in Canada they started
on amazon.ca and I'm gonna say no because there's just not the amount of
searches not enough traffic you won't go anywhere
so and unless you mean the three countries I would what Japan is very
good now too but really for in art you know northern hemisphere wherever we're
located I would say amazon.com Europe would be the two main ones would be you
know and if you're you're not located near any of those I would focus on
amazon.com primarily yeah do you do you do FBA or do you use fbm all FBA so
Bob's asking I kind of summarized his question he's asking if you you know you
do your own fulfillment or do you allow Amazon and that's one of the great
things about Amazon is they'll do the fulfillment for you and it just it's
just flawless like in my opinion so wait let me see here oh so when you launch a
new product you use ASM strategies like lb NR and promotion codes yep I sure do
thanks George for doting that our training is something people would use

Angie I know that you know I don't want to take up all your evening thank you so
very much for doing this are there any closing remarks you'd love to share I
mean you have so much wisdom let's hear some more from you um let's see well I
will say for anyone who's just getting started or actually this might even
apply to people that have been been out there for a while and maybe haven't
really gotten rolling how important it is to just kind of this I just say the
speed the speed at which you do things and get your product and get out there
it's kind of important you know pick your product fast don't get too crazy
about picking something that you know don't take a year to pick your product
don't try to like customize don't try to like make sure you have the best thing
out there and it's different from everybody else this you have to do all
the specialized manufacturing you know really try to start simple pick
something you know go through the process you'll you'll list out a bunch
of opportunities for products pick something fast to just go with it
if it if it's not something that kills it and is doing all the sales you want
it to do it's fine because it will sell and then you just get your next product
and I see people sometimes they just don't go fast enough on that or they
just get too I don't know too complicated about picking their products
and things and that's something that I will say you know in in helping others
and mentoring and things like that that I find people doing that sometimes and
for me even though I picked the wrong product at first and it was a couple
months where I could say oh I wasted two months I didn't waste two months because
and I still have that product and it actually still makes me profit it's
still out there it's it's a die-hard it's it's awesome it doesn't you know do
100 sales a day but it does enough where I make enough profit where I keep it
around but it I went through all the steps say I did my listing I learned how
to ship to Amazon I I got the whole system in place and I found out you know
who was gonna do my photography and I worked through all I needed to work
through so that when I was ready for that second product you know I could
have it out in a week or two it was done it was so easy because I just had to
duplicate everything that I already did so it made getting the next of my
products out a lot faster and I already worked through everything and I just
can't stress how important it is just to kind of move and just pick something and
get out there with it take action 100% that's what the training is all based on
is taking action I see Roxanne Roxanne pull the trigger exactly lots of people
say like Christina's saying Thank You Jody Thank You Francine thank you so
there's lots of ten he'll thank you looking forward to meet here in Orlando
so Tammy Hill that's cool you're talking to me when you're saying hello it'll
land all right just kidding we all know everyone just wants me to Angie I just
like mean Angie so I get it so this was a cool little question I'm just gonna
add so Angie did you know what product you wanted to sell or did the training
teach you or how to find a product to sell
no the training taught me even though I had some ideas I didn't know the
training taught me and I went out there and I looked and it wasn't a product I
would have thought but you know the the products I
were based on the training and based on looking through and looking at the
criteria and and those are the ones I picked them and I crushed it very cool
well awesome Thank You Angie so much for being here thank you for giving back so
much as you do thank you for getting so involved it's Celler Khan and all those
things and always being willing to come on live calls like this thanks for being
a success student too I mean it just you know it's one of the reasons that keeps
