Hey Beautiful Mama,
It’s Chelsey here! 👋
I hope you’ve taken a moment for yourself today—because we all know life doesn’t slow down when you're balancing being a mama and building a business.
In early September, Stephen and I hosted our Rainmaker Family Bootcamp Live, and let me tell you—the energy and questions were off the charts!
It reminded me of just how many people are curious about the incredible potential of Amazon and beyond in 2024.
So today, I’m answering some of the biggest questions we get about Amazon, straight from the heart of our Rainmaker community.
But first, a quick story that I know will resonate with you…
Stephen and I started selling on Amazon years ago, and our very first product was a fidget toy (yep, one of those little gadgets everyone couldn’t get enough of).
In the beginning, it was fun.
We’d pack the orders ourselves, our dining room became a mini shipping station, and we were thrilled to be sending products out.
But after a while…
Our garage turned into a warehouse, boxes were everywhere, and it felt like we were the ones being packed into a corner!
That’s when we learned the beauty of Amazon’s fulfillment system.
No more late-night packing sessions!
Amazon took care of the packaging, shipping, and customer service.
It was a total game changer, allowing us to scale without sacrificing our sanity—or our garage space.
And this, mama, is just one of the reasons Amazon is still the platform to launch a business in 2024.
Now let’s dive into the questions we hear the most…
How much money flows through Amazon?
This is always such an eye-opener.
During our Bootcamp, we use special software that reveals just how much even the most random products on Amazon can generate.
We’re talking anywhere from $50k to $100k—and sometimes even millions of dollars a month!
I remember when one of our students launched a product she used with her kids every day.
By simply refining the product to better serve other moms, she hit over a million dollars in sales during her first year.
That’s the power of Amazon—it’s like having access to the busiest marketplace in the world!
What if I don’t have any product ideas?
Believe it or not, not having a product idea can actually be a blessing!
When you’re selling on Amazon, it’s all about following the data.
We teach our students to find products based on demand, not guesswork.
Think of it like walking down a grocery store aisle.
You wouldn’t try to sell eggs in the pasta section, right?
Amazon’s the same way.
You want to put your product in front of people who are already looking for it.
In our Bootcamp, we help you find those “digital aisles” where customers are shopping—so your product gets seen.
How much does it cost to start on Amazon?
This is a biggie!
Starting costs can vary, but we recommend having between $10k and $20k to set up your business, buy inventory, and get rolling on Amazon.
But don’t worry if you’re not starting with that much.
Some of our students began with as little as $800 and still scaled their businesses to six figures within a year.
It’s all about finding the right product, being strategic with your investment, and growing step-by-step.
What about profit margins?
How much will I actually make?
On average, profit margins on Amazon range from 15% to 25% after expenses, which is fantastic for a scalable business that can be run in just a few hours a day.
But some of our Rainmaker families have hit profit margins as high as 55%.
It’s all about setting up the right systems and reinvesting in your business for growth.
What if I don’t have the initial investment?
We get it—not everyone has the capital sitting around to jump into a new business.
But don’t let that stop you! We’ve seen students partner with family members, split the profits, and still make incredible returns.
One student brought his dad on board as an investor, and they both came out ahead.
Another option is credit stacking—using a 0% APR credit card to get your business going without straining your finances.
We’ve had many students succeed with this method, but of course, it requires good financial management!
The 2.5X Rule: Protecting Your Investment
One of our favorite tools is the 2.5X rule, which helps protect your capital.
If you have $20k to invest, don’t spend it all on inventory.
Divide your budget by 2.5—so in this case, invest $8k in inventory.
This leaves you enough capital to reorder when your products start flying off the shelves!
Wrap up…
There you have it, Mama!
A peek behind the scenes at what it takes to get started with Amazon and why it’s such an amazing opportunity in 2024 as we fast approach 2025.
I hope these answers gave you the clarity and confidence you need to take the next step.
And if you’re ready to dive deeper, I encourage you to join our Family Freedom Bootcamp Here.
We go into much more detail, and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create!
With love and gratitude,
Chelsey & Stephen Diaz
P.S. Mama, I know the idea of starting something new can feel overwhelming—especially when it feels like there's so much on your plate already.
But imagine what it would feel like to have a business that works for you, even when you’re not working.
A business that gives you the time and financial freedom to be present with your family without sacrificing your dreams.
The fear of staying stuck is far greater than the fear of trying something new.
Take the leap, and let’s build something together that not only supports your family but also gives you peace of mind.
Join the 7-Day Family Freedom Bootcamp and take the first step today.
