After finding a good product on Amazon FBA then it comes sourcing the product from a country where labor cost is low and hence inventory is produced at the lowest rates like from China, India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan. Most of the world’s production is from China so we will find a manufacturer from China from Alibaba.com and we will interview 8-10 suppliers and out of them from 2 or 3 samples will be called. After approval of the sample then come the order for inventory production you can estimate a total of $2500 here for a 2-month inventory.

When inventory production is near completion we will prepare real listings and place all the content by backend and front end optimization. Till yet $2700-2900 are spent.
The last step is shipping to the Amazon FBA warehouse it depends on your budget there are multiple ways to ship your inventory like through the sea or through the air. Through airship, it is not budget-friendly as it will add more cost but freight through the sea will cost not more than $5/kg and will take almost a month to reach the Amazon FBA warehouse. Labeling and barcodes will cost around $200 and shipping charges will be around $500-700. So a total of $3500 is spent till this stage.
After the shipment reaches the Amazon FBA warehouse launch the product and let the list be live. After getting the life you can estimate a total of $1000-1200 for PPC and Giveaways and $300 left will be paid to the PPC expert you will find on the Freelancing platform.
