Hello,

Hope you’re doing great!

I wanted to update you on the stats from my new Amazon account.

A few months ago, I wanted to see how long it would take for PODtomatic AI to make the first sale on a new Amazon account, so I asked my wife to create one.

My main account is quite old and seems to make sales more easily compared to newer accounts.

I was curious about the difference in sales between old and new accounts, so I had my wife create the new one and test it with PODtomatic AI.

This new account was set up in mid-May.

I started uploading 10-50 products daily for about a month, gradually increasing to 100 products a day a few weeks ago, and just started uploading 200 products a day a few days ago.

I didn’t want to rush the upload speed because I didn’t want Amazon to flag the account, so I increased the daily uploads slowly.

Now, this account has around 3800 products from PODtomatic AI and has already made 4 sales in about 2.5 months.

The first order was on June 29 (around 1.5 months after setting up the new account), the second order was on July 9* (10 days after the first order)*, and the 3rd and 4th orders were received yesterday (14 days after the second order).

The products that made sales include a shot glass, an ornament, a black coffee mug, and a two-tone coffee mug.

It’s quite promising, considering it’s Q3, which is a slow season, and the account is new with just around 3800 products. The account has already received the buy box and made four orders.

I believe the recent two sales occurred because I decreased the prices for all products on this account (still charging $6.95 for shipping).

The Sync Price function in PODtomatic AI, which updates the price of existing products on Amazon, was only activated last week, so I wanted to test if it works properly. I decreased the prices to attract more buyers during this slow season.

As a result, the account received two sales yesterday.

In this slow season, lowering prices slightly can help attract more buyers.

Since there are no major holidays in Q3, adjusting prices is an easy way to boost sales.

Once you make some sales this Q3, your products will rank better and perform well in the upcoming Q4. You can increase the prices again then.

If you’re a PODtomatic AI member, you can easily adjust prices by going to the pricing template page, updating the price, and clicking “Sync Price.”

Our system will update the prices of all products uploaded from PODtomatic.

Here’s the price strategy I used (feel free to copy):

Note that I charge $4.95 for shipping and $2 for each additional item (starting from the first one).

I applied the same strategy to my main account.

I’ll keep you posted on the stats for both accounts.

Talk soon,

P.S. Here are the recent stats from my main account: I received 8 orders (9 units sold) yesterday from 6 coffee mugs, 1 shot glass, and 1 bracelet.

The profit was around $90 after product costs and Amazon fees.

These products were uploaded many years ago, and I optimized the product listings after they made a sale.

They are all FBM products, not FBA, and required ZERO ad spend.

Selling POD on Amazon is easy. Just keep adding new products with good product listings written by AI :)
