How To Confidently Start And Scale Your Amazon Business To $10k+ Months Without Competition, Low-Profit Margin, Or High Selling Volume.
Your Amazon business strategy is one of the most valuable assets in your business… and to grow and scale your business, you need to learn how to create a sustainable business.
In this blog, I am going to break down the exact Amazon Business strategy and framework I follow to reach $10K + months every month & create long-term sustainability!
Well, first, let me tell you a little about my discovery of this hybrid model and what wholesale bundles are…
I started my eCommerce journey on Amazon in 2008, selling used books and using…can you guess which business model I used first?
Yep, that’s right Retail Arbitrage.
It was great, fun, and exciting. I LOVE shopping!
But the downside of this model quickly bore its ugly teeth as I continued to grow and grow.
It was NOT sustainable.
As my amazon business continued to grow…
I outgrew the ability to continue going out to get products to fill my virtual shelves.
Even when I hired a full-time associate, we were both working between 50 and 60 hours plus per week to try and keep inventory full. It was just NOT feasible!
I was exhausted, missed being part of family game nights, and knew something had to change.
At a certain level of growth with retail arbitrage, sustainability is non-existent!
Are you in the same boat I was in?
So we pivoted into this grand idea -
At first, I had this grand idea 💡…
I was going to get all the products half off of retail price and make higher profit margins right from the start!
Yeah, but…
A major curveball was thrown at me.
Half-priced products and spiked profit margins were NOT the case! Instead, most of the product prices I found were about the same as you can get in the store.
“So now what?” you may be asking yourself. “What changed? How did you make wholesale work?”
Well, I started brainstorming.
I had plenty of this single-unit wholesale product (Shopkin Toys) that were flying off the retail shelves but wasn’t flying off my virtual shelves on Amazon.
In all honesty, I was actually losing money. We needed to do something fast!
I could try PPC…but that’s just throwing more money at a product that isn’t selling.
So I started coming up with ideas of what items may complement my single-unit item and bring more value to this product - an irresistible offer so we can “up” the price.
Then BAM, it finally hit me right as we were shopping in Walmart!
“Add a kids’ carry cart to compliment the Shopkins Toys,” and so...
Our first wholesale bundle ever was created.
I increased the price and listed it on Amazon, and the new wholesale bundle with Shopkins Toys was flying off the shelves!
I was finally able to make a hefty margin on a product I was initially losing money on.
So you may be wondering… what are wholesale bundles??
Wholesale bundles are highly complementary items that you source from wholesale vendors and/or private-label products. These products are sold together in a high-value product bundle you created that provides your buyer's value, speed, and convenience.
Other terms used to describe wholesale bundles would be gift sets, gift baskets, or kits.
Essentially a wholesale bundle is an entire collection of 2-6 products that are a natural fit in both function and use.
The perfect wholesale bundle would be a product combination that customers often purchase together, like shampoo and conditioner or peanut butter and jelly.
These bundles make life easier for the Amazon prime customer, 1-click ordering. Plus, they make life better for you as a seller because you face less competition and can earn better profit margins.
So, through my journey of finding Amazon business sustainability, I fell in love with wholesale bundles, and the Wholesale Bundle System was born.
“Why do I love wholesale bundles so much???”... I thought you would never ask!
THREE reasons!
You keep listing hijackers away!
You get to OWN THE BUY BOX!
HIGHER Margins!
I never have to worry about Amazon jumping on my listing.
I never have to enter another price war again.
Bundling eliminates the competition. I can sell fewer products because I don’t have to play the volume game where you have to compete to see who sells the most of the same products. That just seems like so much work. I rather up my price, up my profit numbers, and push out fewer products.
And you can too!
If you already have an Amazon FBA account - great! Adding wholesale bundles to your FBA business doesn’t take much effort.
The only skills and capital you need to add or start WHOLESALE BUNDLING is ….
An uncanny ability to send an email and $300 or less of capital.
“WHAT? HOW?”
Well by...
- Opening a wholesale account - It’s 100% free!
- Going to tradeshows - They’re free!
- Browsing through catalogs and price lists - They’re also free!
And lastly, there are thousands of vendors that have low or no minimum orders for wholesale.
So don’t limit yourself due to your money mindset. Instead, flip the script, and don’t let it keep you from taking the leap to reaching your success!
Here’s the step-by-step, A-Z framework that has helped 100’s of Amazon beginners and veterans achieve sustainability success...

SO… Why do wholesale bundles work so well on Amazon???
They work so well on Amazon because your customers are looking for 3 things…
Speed, Convenience, and Variety
Shoppers are busy! They do not have time, and they do not want to spend time shopping around for the items they need. Bundles make the purchasing process so much easier for your customer. It gives them a fast and more convenient way to shop.
The product bundle that you provide your buyers eliminates the need for endless scrolling of items they need and adding them to the cart. With one click, your customer can get what they need from your bundle.
Plus, customers are very responsive to wholesale bundles because it’s an effortless purchasing process for them. And customers really appreciate this. It’s a TIME SAVER for them and for you.
