£391,000 Revenue On Amazon = How Much Profit?

  • £14,333 average monthly revenue

Every now and then I’ll search on YouTube for realistic success stories of online entrepreneurs.

The trick to finding them is to skip the videos with millions of views and flashy thumbnails, and avoid any channel with 50,000+ subscribers 🙈

What I’m hoping to find are gems like this: My Amazon FBA PROFITS Revealed! | Amazon FBA 2022 Income Report…

As of this writing, that video has only 6800 views and the channel only has 8200 subscribers 😍

It’s a video by Janson Smith, who apparently started selling on Amazon in the UK back in 2017.

He starts off by saying…

If you’ve searched on YouTube for anything to do with Amazon FBA, you can almost guarantee that you’ll have come across countless videos from people that all say they’ve made 100,000’s selling on Amazon, and they’ve done it all in a single month. 

What they often won’t reveal though is that the big figure that they’re talking about is revenue and not profit.

Janson goes on to reveal his numbers selling multiple products on Amazon in Q2 of last year…

  • Revenue = £391,000 ($472K)
  • Expenses = £348,000 ($420K)
  • Profit = £43,000 ($52K)
  • Profit Margin = 13%

That works out to an average monthly profit of £14,333 ($17.3K) in the quarter 💰

Though Jason says in the video that his profits were increasing steadily, with almost half of that £43K coming in the final month of Q2.

Most impressive of all though is that Amazon FBA is still a side hustle for Jason, something he does in his spare time.

What products does he sell on Amazon?

He doesn’t share that info, which is understandable given how competitive Amazon is. I’ve heard many stories of once-profitable products withering due to increased competition.
