hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video so today i'm going to break down my actual
real november numbers for you november 2020 to be exact and let you know how everything went when i
first had the idea for this video i wanted to talk about like black friday and cyber monday and how
awesome they were i literally made that note guess what they were just okay that's what happens when
you're like i'm gonna say how awesome it is it's just okay so i am back here in sand hollow utah
this is actually kind of fun because this is the first place i ever went sourcing way back in 2017
i went into st george utah and i went sourcing and i scanned and scanned a scan and i didn't
find anything so that's why i'm always like you got to keep skating when you're our first timer
because it does take a little bit but anyways so it's a special place to me i've also been
back here four times because i just love it and if you can see how beautiful it is but
this sound is super bright so we went to zion and that was awesome so here's a photo of that
anyways so if you're new to my channel my name is nikki kirk and i have been selling on amazon for
three and a half years now this was my fourth q4 or is because we're still in it and this has been
my best month ever and all the years selling so just a friendly reminder that i do this part-time
part-time hours but it earns a full-time income but i also have other things going on in my life
so i've only ever actually wanted to do it part-time because when you're in beautiful
places like this you really want to be working full-time and if you can make a full-time income
why would you not work part-time so these numbers that you're going to see are technically i went
shopping three days in november and if you want to add on the like last two weeks of october because
i'm sure stuff sold there so we're talking five days that i sourced this inventory on november 5th
i was sourcing in springfield missouri on november 10th i was sourcing in oklahoma city which i did
do a video about and you can check it out if you want to and then on november 17th i was sourcing
in flagstaff arizona so it does sometimes give you an advantage to travel around because then you can
hunt down that thing but at the end of the day if you want to drive four or five hours to a new
state or a new place or a new city you definitely can so being able to travel is an advantage but
it's not one that you can't use if you actually live in a house and don't travel full-time you can
still travel for your amazon business so the two dates that i sourced in indiana were in october
22nd and october 27th so all together we're talking five sourcing days okay part time that's
over five weeks one day a week i go sourcing one day and then i pack it all up and another day
and then i send it out and that's my whole week three days the stores i source at are not anything
special they are tj maxx target walmart marshalls home goods ollies tuesday morning and ross
those are pretty much nationwide i think always is more regional but if you used to have a toys r us
in your area check it out because it might be an ollies now so again this is all to show you that
this is part-time hours and totally possible for you there's nothing super special about it you
just have to put in the work and start all right so let's break it down so what you're seeing here
is actually seller board where if you want to try it for two months free no credit card required
go ahead and click the link below but it's showing you my november numbers all pulled i've got all my
costs of goods in there it pulls the amazon fees the shipping fees all of that and so i can get
my full number all right so right here you can see that my total sales for the month was 20 956
dollars you guys i've never done 20 000 in a month before this was super exciting i've done 15 000
months that's always super exciting but 20 i've never done and so i was super excited to hit that
number that was a crazy milestone personally it took me three and a half years but it doesn't
have to if you want to do it full time as you'll see as i break this down it's totally possible do
more but for me that was super exciting and i'm so proud of it all together unit wise i sold 794
units the cost of shipping everything so again this is just for november so the three shipments
i sent in november only cost me 186 to ship it in refund costs things happen people refund
three hundred dollars amazon fees six thousand seven hundred dollars cost of goods so i spent
seven thousand eight hundred fifty dollars on my cost of goods for the whole month of november
things that sold obviously if i bought more stuff and it didn't sold that would be into
it but this is just going off of things that have actually sold that is my total cost of goods of
what's sold and my gross profit after everything because i don't track expenses in seller board but
apparently you can i don't 5896 dollars of profit now a lot of people get confused about the profit
aspect when i do my videos and i'm saying okay i made two thousand dollars profit this week
what it is is yes i spent two thousand dollars on the actual product that i bought so in this
example i spent 7 850 on the actual product but the profit is after that so i made that money
back i made the money to cover the amazon fees the shipping all of that i made that back and
i profited extra money my income this month was five thousand eight hundred and ninety six dollars
i will say that i bought some shipping supplies i had to get some more poly bags it's like a hundred
dollars maybe it's really nothing in the grand scheme of things so this is the profit i made
this month and then the last thing i'll just point out here is the margin 28 and then the roi was 75
so in general my roi has been around 60 to 70 so this was a higher one but my profit margin has
been 25 to 30 percent so that is a good 28 that's perfect that's like normal so if you wanted to
have an idea of what i'm doing every month 28 margin in november it's anywhere from 25 to 30
so that's just a buffer or like a number to go off of for you i also this november had one of my
best selling days ever i mean not ever ever but it was pretty exciting that i did what does it end up
being november 17th i did 1 634 i sold 61 items you can see here the cost of goods 569 dollars
net profit on just that one day was 587 so that's pretty awesome and my margin of course was higher
and the roi was 100 so that's really great again what i'm using is seller board so if you're
interested you can grab the link below and try it out for free but i really love it because it's
super easy to see my profit and my numbers which i just started using it maybe like eight months
ago and so i really love it actually as you'll see here in a second it pulls in everything from
the whole time i've been selling so i can filter through to different months unfortunately
because i haven't put the cost of goods in for those months you won't see like actual profit
it'll say i made a bunch of money but it didn't really because i paid for the stuff that i sold
but it's just really fun to see it all like this so if you want to check it out definitely give it
a try so here's why i think this year i did better than ever before one it was my fourth q4 and i
definitely learned from pasque force there are some items and brands that i know sell now like
even last year even though it was the third year i'd sold them i still would try like four to six
of an item just to see because i was still nervous i'm a little bit of a risk-averse buyer so i don't
necessarily take the big risks that everyone else does because i don't want to lose a lot of money
taking risks so this year i was like you know what i know this thing sells this brand sells all the
time i bought all of it i literally have 16 of an item right now in there and that is so crazy
because that's not something i would normally do this time i literally bought everything i could
i was like i'm gonna jam pack shove my inventory full of stuff and it paid off i gotta be honest so
early in the month i had a really great month it took off it was doing so well you can see
here i was having really great days the whole time and then i had this crazy day on the 17th
another really good one on the 19th and then it started to like trickle down still really good and
then this is the wake of thanksgiving so normally the week of thanksgiving it will slow down because
people know that black friday sales are coming and they just kind of slow down their shopping
they're planning for thanksgiving all that kind of stuff so it was normal for it to be slow
i gotta say i thought i'd do more than like 300 400 so then we come to thanksgiving still 300
black friday you guys i did 500 i really thought it was going to be more than the 17th
so i was a little shocked a little sad but you know i still got stuff and it'll
sell it did start to pick up you see here i did almost a thousand dollars on saturday
then we've got sunday eight hundred dollars and then monday almost a thousand 971 dollars so it
did start to pick back up at the end of the month but i mean like i said i was like oh i'm gonna
tell you how awesome black friday was but that's what happens when you plan right it doesn't happen
so anyways overall the month was amazing i hit my goal i just wanted to hit 20 000 and then on
the last day of the month i overdid it by another thousand dollars so i was really excited just to
hit that goal and that milestone the interesting thing about seller board is that it will actually
forecast for you like what you're going to do so right now it's forecasting that i'll do 25 000
in december and that's exciting and it's using the inventory i already have i could go sourcing and
add more and it could be like thirty thousand dollars so it's really just exciting because i
don't know if i mentioned this but they forecasted that i would do 20 000 in november but you know
i'm new to the platform i didn't know if that was going to be real and turns out it was almost spot
on that i got exactly that so that was exciting and i can't wait to see what happens in december
so i often as my youtube channel grows get the ever so slightly negative feedback so
i just want to point out that i have not stopped selling any different than i have before i started
making videos about it you guys i'm still selling i'm sourcing one day a week i'm selling just like
i have so these are my real excited numbers that are happening from a real person i am not just
doing it for youtube i'm just trying to tell you like what's possible and what's out there
these are my part-time numbers because i only do it part-time there is no stopping you from
doing full time if i source two days a week three days a week who knows what the potential could be
that's just not something i want for me but if you want to do this full time or you have a partner
you want to do it with there's so much potential out there and i hope this video just helps you
see all the potential that you could possibly do yes now i have my own gating guides and the bolo
group but a year ago i didn't so i'm going to show you my november numbers from 2018 which is when i
started i consider it like my first q4 because i've been selling a year by that point so in
november of 2017 i had been selling for like two or three months by december of 2017 i was actually
pulling out profits and paying myself from the profits every month and i have been ever since
so december of 2018 is really like my okay this was my first q4 like i had been selling for a
year i knew what i was doing this is it so if you're using seller board you can just go back
and click which one you want to see oh no wait we're going to say november apples to apples right
i'm gonna click here for all periods you can see it here i did 11 474. 615 items so
overall it's not that much different i think i did like 150 more items this year
but this was obviously don't look at the profit like i said because i haven't put in my cost of
goods for all this this is just to show you the sales number that was possible that was
my first like official q4 because i did do the last q4 but i was super new and didn't really
know what i was doing so you could see here my sales numbers i had thousand dollar days
let's see 800 days and these were the black friday so this is why i thought i would do better this
year but clearly that wasn't the case it could have been my inventory who really knows at the
end of the day though i did a great month so i'm happy about it but i just want to show you like
you don't have to take three years yeah i got my 20 000 goal three years later but this is what i
was doing a year in so anything is possible and definitely don't think that you can't do it or
it's going to take a lot of time it does take time to really understand it and know what you're doing
but if you never put in the time and the effort you won't ever get there so definitely just start
keep going don't give up the people who give up are obviously the ones who aren't going to
make it work there's a lot of people out there who are like it doesn't work i couldn't do it
a lot of people like me are out there doing it so if you are interested in selling definitely start
it is worth it it is amazing way to make a living and enjoy some freedoms in your life if you want
to if you have a full-time job this is definitely something you can do part-time so this video was
really just a recap to show you my real numbers that i am a real seller i'm really doing this
yes i have my own gating guides now and i have the bolo group but the un-getting guides only started
last year and honestly they didn't start taking off until my youtube channel started to which was
just a couple months ago so this is still i don't source any different i still sell exactly the same
i just am now helping new sellers which is so much fun for me i love to be able to help the
new sellers and then i did the bolo group that started just for new sellers if you're not sure
what bolo is it's be on the lookout and it's a group of sellers who are sharing profitable leads
to be on the lookout for so again that started literally just trying to help new sellers thank
you guys so much for watching i hope this video was helpful i hope to see you in one of the groups
and if not i will see you right back here for another amazon selling video
