Another year, another weird Q4 for Amazon FBA.

This year, citing the "cerveza sickness", many of the FBA warehouses are overwhelmed (as if that doesn't happen every year).

As a result, thye've severely limited the amount of inventory that we're able to send in.

I'm low (or out) of stock for a few of my better-sellers.

Unfortunately, when I setup an FBA inbound shipment to re-up inventory, Amazon is inconsistent with the amounts that I'm able to send in.

Sometimes I've able to send in 10 cartons... other days... only 8.

My most recent shipment of 4x SKUs from my best selling brand ended up resulting in me leaving a single carton stranded in China, due to Amazon not allowing me to tack on that 1 additional carton. Ugh...

And here's my Campaign Manager statistics from Seller Central:

• Spend: $357.46 $13.10 MoM
• Sales: $2,559.00 $325.15 MoM
• ROAS: 7.16% 1.13 MoM

As expected, Amazon Merch sales saw a significant boost from Q4.

My best sellers were political shirts, but the vast majority - roughly, 99%+ of my live products are evergreen designs.

That said, my hopes are to see consistent year-round sales, without having to chase trends constantly (who doesn't love passive income?)

I can't wait to see what December brings!

I had a massively successful trending design in the political niches in November.

I made the most sales on hats, but I also offered it on various other print on demand products.

(It also generated quite a few sales on Amazon Merch!)

Typically a successful trending design that does well in the USA will also expand into Europe (.co.uk), but this one did not, as it was related to United States politics.

Here's a breakdown of my profit from my top 4 platforms:

• Amazon (.com): $3,171.13
• Redbubble: $405.99
• Ebay: $235.04
• Amazon (.co.uk): $200.14

The strong sales came at the perfect time, as I earned a volume discount that will be applied to my December sales!

All of my Printful producst fulfilled next month will be discounted by 8%!

I love that Printful is invested in our success, as they only make money when we do, they incentivize us to sell more with these volume discounts.

Amazon KDP

Sales: 133
Profit: $247.72
Avg. Royalty: $1.86
2020 💰 Profit to Date: $1,729.67

$247.72 of profit was generated on 113 sales @ an average royalty of $1.86 per paperback book.

My KDP sales also benefited from the Q4 sales rush.

Unfortunately, many of my best sellers around this time of year were geared towards being gifted as office Secret Santa presents between co-workers...

And with so many businesses working from home, I'm thinking it's unlikely to see the same sales numbers from those gift-oriented books.

If you'd like me to show you how I went from $0 to exceed $3,000+ profit selling low-content books on Amazon, you're in luck.

By selling "low content" books, we avoid spending time writing the content for book interiors & instead focus on selling notebook-style paperback books to various niche markets. Trust me - it works!

* data from Google Ads

I run a few popular websites where I collect advertising revenue via Google Ads (formerly Google AdSense). I also collect revenue via direct partnerships with advertisers & from affiliate links, but for times sake, I'm going to omit those deals.

I won't be doing month-to-month write ups here because I don't spend much time maintaining these websites. They started out as passion projects that allowed me to become a better web developer, but today I spend very little time working on them.

Here's a glimpse into my Google Analytics for my website:

YouTube Revenue

My YouTube channel (Ryan Hogue Passive Income) monetizes most videos that get posted.

As a result, I see a bit of additional income each month from Google running video (AdSense) ads.
