This is why private label is completely dead
You're not gonna make money with it, alright?
Hey, it's Beau Crabill here
leading expert for selling products on Amazon
Back in San Diego, and I just ordered this little razor
these razor blades on Amazon
And I have never wanted
to leave a bad review ever in my life on Amazon
I just buy things, it turns out good
But I bought these things
which is definitely from a private label seller
You can actually see, it says like, oh
free e-book on how-to video
Get 20% off your order
I guarantee, if you're a private label seller
you're probably doing some type of those strategies
And this thing, you know
I usually buy these blades, like on Walmart
I just go to Walmart and like, get these types of like
single blades that I shave with
And it just gets the job done
And these, it took me like, three times extra long
they were not even sharp, and they're just complete junk
So I'm literally gonna go leave a bad review here
Compared to like, let's say, these shoes
I just bought on Amazon as well
I'll show you them right now
Alright, so I'm a runner, and I bought these Brooks shoes
If you're a runner, Brooks is a big brand
And the reason why private label doesn't work anymore on Amazon
is simply because your products are completely junk
If you're getting things from China
and you're selling just complete junk
it's not gonna work out well
And, you know, this thing
they really spent a lot of time on
making a really good packaging with this
which, I give them kudos
Like, I opened them up, I was like, wow
This is a really good packaging
this is way better than maybe the Walmart brand
So initially, I had psychological little feeling going on
Okay, this could be better
But what happens, right? You could get a good product
you can put lipstick on a pig
you can put all these nice things on to it
But if the product still sucks
you're not gonna make money for the long-term
I see so many private label sellers just failing right now
And I believe it happens just to be
with a brand or with a product
On Amazon right now, most of the sales
are happening off of name brands
And I see so many private label sellers go up
and then go down because they're not building a brand
and they're not focusing on quality
They're more focused on, how do I get the fake reviews?
I mean, I have friends who make 10 million bucks a year
just selling complete, borderline dog crap
It's like some supplements or something like that on Amazon
that they make good money with
But really, they're just not focused on the product at all
So ask yourself a question right now
when you're selling on Amazon
are you focused on building out the product?
Because, the reason why I love selling on Amazon
is I'm selling up name brands like these Brooks, right?
I mean, I bought these
But let's say, Hasbro for example
Hasbro is churning out new products every single month
There's a new holiday season, there's new Hasbro toys
The new Joker movie comes out
there's new Joker figures for me to sell
A new video game comes out
there's new video games for me to go sell
And these huge brands, they are all, all, all focused on product
Because the reason why Hasbro has been in business for decades
The reason why
all these video game companies have been in for decades
The reason why Brooks is a quality running shoe
that I literally bought probably
9, 10 pairs of Brooks in my lifetime
It's 'cause it's quality
So if you're selling junk, what's gonna happen for the long-term?
You're not gonna have repeat customers
You know, you may make one sale
Like this person right here
I'm literally never gonna buy these again
I was hoping to buy these for every single one of my houses
and everything would go well
But just ask yourself that question right now
are you selling good products?
And, like so many people on Amazon and e-commerce
are just focused on how can I get the right product?
And, you know, the big issue with it
is you're trying to find products from China
you're trying to see what's the good rankings on Amazon
how much money it can make
But in reality, that's not how you should be thinking
Like, so many people that are trying to go
create up their own brands on Amazon
You can make money with it, but look at the best brands out there
They're typically brands
that are, maybe like, started on their own
Maybe started up their own website, focused on the customer
and then went on Amazon
Take for example, every single person who's on Shark Tank
You know, they set up a company, they found a problem
they resolve the problem not by sourcing some junk from China
and then they'd make a market
And they're like, okay, now let's add the revenue on to Amazon
Alright, so that's the whole part in making this video
is don't sell junk
Don't sell junk, don't sell junk
This goes for anyone who's private labeling
anyone who's doing dropshipping, focus on selling quality products
Now, if you want an easy fix for selling quality products
just source out name brands, that's what I do
I don't sell other people, I don't sell my own brands
I just sell other quality brands that already are popular
that are already in demand
Hopefully you got some value out of this video
