The dream of six-figure sales with Amazon FBA starts in your head - and with planning, honesty and a clear system. In this real experience report, you will learn step by step what the path from the first euro to sustainable sales looks like. All of the methods described here are based on real-life experience and how I would apply them myself today if I had to start from scratch.

Successfully starting with Amazon FBA requires more than just a business idea. It starts with an honest inventory of your resources and goals.
Without sufficient start-up capital, a quick path to the sixth sales position is hardly feasible. If you start with 10,000 euros, you will not achieve six-figure sales within six months. Realistically, you should invest at least 100,000 euros to get off to a noticeable start within six months.
Of course, many people start with less: 10,000, 20,000 or 50,000 euros. But you should know that small capital grows more slowly and means hard stops in between. Unrealistic expectations quickly lead to frustration. The old rule applies: capital accelerates everything.
Not everyone can invest a lot of money. But everyone has time or knowledge. This is where an important lever comes into play: partnerships. You can invest time, while a partner contributes the required capital.
Entrepreneurs in particular, often of retirement age and with capital, are looking for exciting projects but no longer want to work around the clock. This is exactly where you suggest starting together: you build, manage and develop - the partner provides financial support.
The model is often easier than expected at the beginning and can close gaps that would otherwise take years to fill.
You are rarely successful alone. Ask yourself:
Use YouTube channels, forums and communities where real sellers share their knowledge. It pays to build up a personal network instead of reinventing every wheel.
Checklist - My network for the Amazon launch:
Successful sales on Amazon are not achieved by finding a single "cool" product. The decisive factor is the strategy in the structure.
If you really want to grow quickly, build a brand with at least several items. Think of collections: Products that fit together and complement each other, for example a range of pond equipment or a range of fitness products.
With every additional product in your range, you benefit several times over:
One product is rarely enough for a real growth spurt.
Don't focus on small niches with little potential if your goal is speed. Ideally, your products should be able to generate monthly sales of at least 30,000 euros. If you launch four such bestsellers, you will be in the six-figure range with both feet.
Comparison: Product sizes & sales opportunities
| Product type | Market size | Real sales expectation | Recommendation for capital |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single product | Small, niche | Up to €10,000/month | With little capital, little competition |
| Branded products | Large, many variants | From 30,000 €/month/per | Sensible from € 100,000, rapid growth |
With little capital, small niches ("hidden champions") can still be attractive, but growth remains slower.
Always analyze how well the competition has set up their listings and marketing. In top niches, perfect images, videos and price promotions often make entry more expensive and more difficult. It is better to focus on markets with only average marketing, where optimization is easier.
The following tools will help you save time and research more intelligently:
The best product makes no profit without an efficient supply chain. Efficiency means saving and cleverly connecting everything from purchasing to transportation and storage.
A visit to the manufacturer in China changes the outcome dramatically. At trade fairs and in factories, you can get better prices, find new products and establish relationships that will turn your startup into a real player.
Ideally, travel with a sourcing agent who speaks the language and knows the culture. This avoids misunderstandings and gives you a head start in terms of trust. The travel and consulting costs are often recouped with the first order thanks to better conditions.
Good dealers negotiate not only prices, but also payment terms. Use the personal relationship to set low price anchors right from the start. If you negotiate hard but sympathetically at the beginning, you can make long-term savings.
It is often cleverest to share container space with large importers. Contacts from the network can help: Ask sellers with large volumes whether you can dock your shipment. This results in significant cost advantages.
If you can't find a partner, compare logistics providers and focus on reliability and savings potential. Often, the simpler the website, the cheaper the freight costs.
FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) brings speed and Prime benefits, while having your own warehouse gives you flexibility and price control. Ideally, you should combine the two, especially if you can work with partners or your own logistics structures.
Many fail to calculate their costs accurately. Make an honest calculation and use real values, not wishful thinking. Include the following items:
Calculation checklist for Amazon FBA:
Even the best product doesn't sell itself. Take these steps to make your offer visible and desirable.
Only those who really understand their target group will strike a chord at the first attempt. Many retailers only give a rough answer to the question about their customer profile (e.g. "sportsmen").
The perfect target group description includes:
Address the needs directly on your product pages.
Go for an eye-catching cover image. The Firsten method creates a real eye-catcher that directly increases the click rate - be it through eye-catching colors, unique arrangement or an emotional motif.
Result: More clicks, more sales, less competitive pressure.
Think of listing images like a golf swing: You want to get as far ahead as possible with the first one (main arguments), followed by shot after shot (further images) that resolve objections and provide additional information. In the end, the customer reaches the goal, just like in golf: the purchase.
Graphic idea: Visualization from the golf tee (first product image) to the hole (click on the shopping cart).
All types are effective, to varying degrees depending on the product and target group.
Images, A+ content, brand history and video - these four components should be standard for every product with a monthly turnover of over 30,000 euros. Each component contributes to conversion.
Launch core tips:
Once your launch has taken off, the real work on the growth turbo begins.
The first step is to achieve as many impressions as possible. Then you focus on the click-through rate (CTR) - in other words, how many interested parties click on your product details.
Continuously optimize your listings, check images, texts and reviews. The aim is to achieve a conversion rate that will boost your organic Amazon ranking further and further.
The target in figures: 50 percent sales via PPC, 50 percent organic - with break-even PPC costs.
Business is only really fun with a margin of 20 percent or more. Turnover is important, but the bottom line is profit. You should reach this target margin after 3-4 months at the latest.
Launching three to four products at the same time saves time and often doubles your chances of success. Always keep moving:
Your wealth of experience and network effect grows with every article.
