As a lot of people have already said, it's fairly easy to create something and put it up for sale on Amazon. It's much harder and takes a long time to make any money out of it!I have an Amazon business that sells table tennis equipment and makes a little over $10,000 a month. But we are two years in now and it was a really long process.Let's say you are doing the standard business which people normally mean when they say they are earning a lot from Amazon. The one where you find a niche and get a product designed and made in China with a nice margin. To give you an idea of timeline:Finding a factory will take at least a couple of weeks.Explaining to them your design and getting a prototype and samples shipped, tested and changed will take at least a month.Once you place your initial order, for them to manufacture it will take at least another month.To ship it to your country, get it through customs and to the Amazon FBA centres will take a minimum of another 8 weeks (if going by ship from China to the US).Once you're selling, it will take a while to get some traction, build up reviews and start getting decent daily sales.Now finally you have some money in the bank - but you're also running low on your first order so need to spend that money on order number 2.I think it took us about a year before we could take any money out. You need both a decent amount of start-up capital and the patience to wait for months without a paycheck.It's a great business and one I would recommend everyone tries out. But you don't need to dive straight in at the deep end. There are ways you can start earning money almost immediately through Amazon. It is cheap to get into, gets you used to using Amazon Seller Central, Amazon FBA and teaches you how to generate sales. It's called retail arbitrage. The concept is simple:You find items that you can buy for much cheaper than they are listed on Amazon for. I did this by searching deal sites and closing-down sales.Buy as many of the reduced/cheap items as you can.Send them to an Amazon warehouse.When someone buys one, Amazon will handle the delivery and customer service. The profit gets deposited into your bank.Repeat.That's the short summary. It's a bit more complicated than that: you need to do the math to make sure that you will still make money after the fees and you need to be confident that people will buy the item. I go into it in a lot more detail here.
Yes it can& will go bad. wine is s food product & when exposed to high temps will “cook” referred to as “cooked “ wine. Cooked wines can be identified by a burnt/stewed fruit smell & taste & you may see that the cork has started to come out & wine might be leaking from the bottle as pressure developes As for sparkling wines, you don’t want to be in the car when they start to explode. Most wineries will suspend shipping during summer months& even Fedex & UPS will not guarantee safe shipping. In an inclosed vehicle on a hot summer day the temp can rise above 100* F fairly quickly. As a wine retailer , I would always sdvise my customers on a hot day if you are not going home immediately. Delay your purchase or leave it & pick up later inless you have a way to keep it cool in your car. That bring said, once on a beach trip on my last night, I found s bottle of red that had rolled under the driver’s seat where it had remained for 4 days in the heat of simmer. I opened it thst night & it was perfectly ok. however, that was definitely the exception. I just got lucky. A cook wine will not harm you. but, it will not be pleasant to drink Or got snything else for that matter.
