Amazon Selling Resources & Tools

Everyone knows a market analysis tool is necessary for getting into physical product selling. So,  What Market Research Tool Should I Buy? Viral Launch

 

Best Product Research Tool – Viral Launch 

My Review:I think it’s the best Amazon market research tool –  the chrome extension button is solid and reliable, and now they have a new Keyword Search Volume tool, which is a must have for product research.   And I recommend it over JungleScout.  It’s got everything you need for Amazon data – online tools, chrome extension, and even a search volume data.   It’s nice cuz they offer other services like Amazon giveaways, product photography, and listing optimization. I’ve used literally every service from them.  Yeah it may be a little more pricey than hiring a random freelancer, but you are paying for speed, convenience, and solid work every time. The product photoshoot they did for us was done on a beach and it looked stunning.

 

Best Amazon Sales & Profit Dashboard + Email Follow-Up – CashCowPro

My review:  This it the best site I’ve seen for Amazon Sales Analytics, PLUS it’s got Follow-up Emails built in.  The main page breaks down your sales #’s, ROI, Inventory etc. All the stats you need to see in one place. We use CashCowPro for our personal FBA biz daily.  We’ve tried others, this seems to be the best and most comprehensive by far.  It even includes customer Auto-Email automation, which is $29/mo alone on other platforms, like Sales Backer which we switched from. So at $99/mo, CashCow is actually a deal. We bought the yearly plan cuz, ya know, #BossShit. Sign up here for $15 off monthly!

 

Best bank account to receive Amazon payments in any currency – Payoneer – receive Amazon payments in your home currency at the best rates. Use my Referral link and we both get $25 after you transfer $1000.

Travel Tools & Resources

Best Fintech Card with no foreign transaction fees – Revolut. I have several nomad friends who rave about this card – they send you a metal card, which holds all your cards in it. Switch which one is active in the app. I’ve joined the waitlist for the US launch, which they say is coming soon as of late 2019.

Best Travel Insurance – I signed up for SafetyWing. It was recommended to me as the best company that is the least hassle and has less payout complications compared to other companies who always get you on the technical details. 

Travel Insurance Tips: in order to be covered for a motorbike accident, which is one of the more common things, especially in SE Asia, you must be sure of these things, otherwise you will NOT be covered and have to pay cash, for example for a $10,000-$20,000 surgery that a buddy just had to pay for a broken leg in Bali, because he did not have the intenational driverse license.

  1. You must have travel insurance, of course
  2. You must have an official International Drivers License / Permit.
    1. Getting an International Drivers Permit one in the US is pretty easy I hear thru AAA
    2. For getting an International Drivers Permit when already abroad 
  3. You must be wearing a helmet
  4. The bike can’t be more than 150cc
  5. You’re not covered if you are broke traffic laws like speeding, or doing wheelies

 

Booking.com – Booking.com seems to be a popular choice amongst hotels in Southeast Asia. I use it frequently to find cheap hotels. Use this referral link to get a discount on your first booking, cuz why not.

Book Onward Flights Tickets – I discovered this service that provides you proof of onward flight tickets, often required when you enter a country free as tourist on arrival, e.g. for Thailand or Bali! They only charge $5 bucks which is the cheapest I’ve seen.

Google Voice – Gives you a virtual phone number  – I use it every day for receiving SMS verification codes & texting family. Have also used it many times to make international calls. Just top-up your balance and call worldwide.

ExpressVPN – My review: I even did a youtube video asking people in China for the best VPN for China or anything else, and this seems to be it. I’ve used & tested it. Works good. For mobile & desktop. Allows you to use YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Google, etc in China.

 

Thailand Resources

 

Thailand Travel Health insurance – no referral link, but this was recommended by a friend. I personally don’t currently pay for insurance.

Best Digital Marketing Tools

 

Email Marketing: Active Campaign – I switched from MailChimp and.. oh my.  Miles ahead.  Miles easier.  SUPER simple DRAG AND DROP flow – easy to create auto campaigns, forms, etc.  I’ve integrated it all over my blog.   I’m a fanboy of ActiveCampaign lol. Use this link to sign up.

Quiz Builder: Interact – Quiz Builder, Giveaway System & Polls – I use this on my blog to grow my list & learn about my audience – and quite frankly I’m super stoked about it! Super clean look and feel and SUPER easy to setup. Feels just like ActiveCampaign with the drag & drop, and integrates super easily with the tag system – so you can know all about people’s interests from the quiz, then send out segmented emails later.

Random Tools & Plugins

The Best Video Speed Controller – (Chrome Extension) great for webinars where the controls are hidden. Crucial! Allows you to skip ahead and speed up.

 

Team Management

 

Time Doctor – Track the work time of your team, via screen logs. Like upwork, but it’s not for payroll, just so everyone can track their work time for productivity & analysis.

Zoom conferencing – Group call & screen share app I like.

 

 

Outsourcing

 

Best Writing Outsourcing Service – BudgetWord.com: High Quality writing services for the best prices. From ecommerce copywriting to blog article writing to social media content to ebook ghostwriting, they do it all.

 

Best Freelancer Site –  Freeeup.com! Unlike Upwork, they review your posting and recommend the top 1-3 freelancers for you, instead of having to look over dozens of applications. Then you skype chat with the applicants from there. It’s free to post a job. My boi Matt Laker recommended Freeeup to me because they specialize in Amazon FBA experts. But they also have experts in everything.

Upwork.com – I’ve hired multiple people from here for short term and longer term jobs – customer service, packaging, Amazon PPC management, video editing etc.

OnlineJobs.ph – I’ve had a friend who found a rockstar Filipino VA here and couldn’t recommended it enough.
