I recognize the important role people like these have in your life and because of that I want to be there for you. Ultimately you have to find your why. The reason you want to create your own empire and hopefully, I can help you. Ben Hedley

4. How to Make Money Online: What is Amazon FBA? I could sit around and talk about the Amazon FBA business for hours. In fact, my friends and family are both sick of hearing about it. To them, I seem like a mad man that can’t stop rambling but the problem is I found myself always wanting to teach them how to make money online. That is why I developed this incredible course. I wanted to answer the question my friends and people I ran into always had: How does Amazon FBA work? I even wanted to answer the age-old question: How to find the best FBA products? Now, when I started to dive into the massive amounts of detailed information people needed to learn to run a successful business emphasis on SUCCESSFUL, I realized it just wasn’t simply done in YouTube video. I needed to show everyone in a large course that answered the, what is Amazon FBA question. So, Amazon FBA is a service that ships and sends items that you private label or wholesale bulk buy and have sent to Amazon. It provides a platform for people to search large varieties of products and then choose whichever they want. Think about that for a minute. Years ago say the 90’s you would go to a store and if they didn’t have that item at your local Wal-Mart well, you just went home empty handed or had to settle with an inferior item. Now Amazon and Amazon FBA has completely changed the game. You now can be selective. If you are a customer that is phenomenal. If you are a seller, well, now you have competition BUT, if you follow my later blog posts you will realize competition is good. Ben Hedley

5. How to Use a Virtual Assistant I want to teach you how to use a virtual assistant. Virtual Assistants are incredible. Outsourcing in general kicks ass. I’m telling you right now they help your business reach another level. I have a full time job on top of writing blogs, putting out YouTube videos and running an ecommerce company. Now throw an energetic one year old and a beautiful wife on top of that into the mix. It is easy to see how life can get way too busy for one person to handle alone. That is why virtual assistants are complete game changers. They can do everything you learned to do long ago. Need a listing put up on Amazon? Virtual Assistant put it up. Need customer service responses? Ok, Virtual Assistant communicate with our customers. Social media marketing? Go ahead my trusty virtual assistant handle that aspect of my business. The list goes on and on. If you teach a virtual assistant exactly what you need them to do and give them time to absorb it they will be one of your most valuable assets. So, now that you have a brief overview of virtual assistants let me explain how I’ve been using mine. I will warn you I have had two at this point of my ecommerce career. One didn’t work out as well as I had expected. However, as I explained in another blog post, that was partly my fault. However, the strategy I used would have been for both of them and moving forward I’ll integrate more virtual assistant’s for different areas of the business. Ben Hedley

6. How to Start a Business It has been months since I’ve created a new blog post on my story. I have debated on how I would continue my blog posts because it is just a ton of work to do this. However, I know I have a ton of information to share with the general public. So, I am going to tell everyone about the entire process I have been going through to make a successful business. I want to show full transparency on the do’s and don’ts of this business. Also, I want people to know the places I’ve failed so, they don’t make the same mistakes as well. It all started a couple years ago when I saw an advertisement on selling on Amazon. The entire process blew my mind to be honest. I had no idea you could make money this way. I always knew people became millionaires or what not but I really had no actionable way of even trying to become one. Until i saw this advertisement of course. Then a light went off in my head. I realized the potential of an online income. It soon became clear that I had to spend every waking moment researching this. Now I need to warn you. I have an obsessive personality so, when I find something I am interested in I just can’t stop until I know everything about it. That is what happened with E-commerce. I obsessed. It researched so much and so often that I ignored virtually everything else in my life. I became exhausted in my personal life, my work life and my leisure time. I had countless sleepless nights just thinking about how to operate a business online. Ben Hedley

7. How to Use a Virtual Assistant I want to teach you how to use a virtual assistant. Virtual Assistants are incredible. Outsourcing in general kicks ass. I’m telling you right now they help your business reach another level. I have a full time job on top of writing blogs, putting out YouTube videos and running an ecommerce company. Now throw an energetic one year old and a beautiful wife on top of that into the mix. It is easy to see how life can get way too busy for one person to handle alone.

However, the strategy I used would have been for both of them and moving forward I’ll integrate more virtual assistant’s for different areas of the business. So, in the middle of 2016 I paid my virtual assistant approximately $200 a month to maintain numerous social media accounts. He was responsible for content creation and growth on Instagram, Pinterest,Twitter andFacebook. Looking back he did an outstanding job on follower growth. Content was lacking but everything else I was very, very satisfied with. So, much so, that when we hired another virtual assistant to replace him we realized that great content does not always equal massive growth. Ben Hedley

8. E-commerce: The Basics I started an ecommerce company in 2016 and so, I know exactly what you need to start a company and I will give you the basics. I am not going to sugar coat anything for you. I will tell you exactly what is needed. I believe this is important because if you don’t know the upfront costs then how can you make an educated decision on you future? Hopefully, I can help with this decision through my trial and error. First I would like to say while I am writing this blog I do not affiliate with any of these companies or services. In the future I do plan on providing affiliate links because hey who works for free? But, right now I just want you all to succeed. So, are you ready? Ok great! First and foremost you need a website for your business. There are several options however, from personal experience I would go with (Woo Commerce or Shopify). Both are incredible options but I will say this. Shopify is much easier for a newbie. They have pre-formatted templates and everything is designed with the user in mind. They do updates to protect you from outside shenanigans and they basically allow you to throw apps and Amazon drop shipping right up on the site with ease. Woo Commerce was designed for the more experienced user. It is WAY more customizable. For someone like me who is used to Elegant Themes and Divi, I like it much more. Next you’re going to have to download Jungle Scout as soon as possible. It is extremely difficult to do your product research without this tool. I won’t go into large detail the link is provided for you but, it is definitely my favorite market research tool. Ben Hedley

9. Amazon Sales | Negotiating Lower Prices Would you like to learn how to negotiate lower prices? Negotiating lower prices is an art we have lost in the United States. We just don’t do this anymore. The only times I did this in my entire life before I got into this business was when I bought my cars and my house. Other than those experiences, I went to Mexico when I was 16. While in I wanted some pocket knife they were selling and I was specifically told to begin negotiating lower prices by one of the senior members of our group. The Mexicans at the open store we were shopping at were used to this process. They had no set prices just suggested prices. So, the knife was offered to me at 10$ and I ended up walking away with it for around 5$. I tell you this story because I want you to apply the exact same practice while shopping for a product. Throughout this blog post I will discuss several ways for you to improve your negotiations with manufacturers. Let’s start with the opening comments. When you are speaking with a Chinese manufacturer from Alibaba you need to sound as professional as possible. You do not want to divulge to them that this is your first time buying. In fact you want them to think that you aren’t even the person purchasing the product. When I speak with these suppliers I tell them something along the lines of “Hi! My boss would like me to purchase xxx knives from you. He would like me to find your lowest price for xxx amount of pieces”. Ben Hedley
