Hey Philosopher,
Welcome back 2025!
To all our new philosophers here, I’m Destiny, and it’s great to meet you.
I'm the voice behind Weekend Chronicle, the founder of snuggleready.com and the creator of the one-of-a-kind Community Building 101 programme that has brought our amazing community together.
As we proceed into 2025, I’m thrilled to keep the fire blazing...
With great surprises ahead, we’re excited to have you along for the ride.
I’ll skip the long intro because we all have the attention span of a goldfish nowadays. Let's jump right in, mates.
5 Lessons I’m Learning from Amazon FBA
Before we begin, I reckon the lessons I'm about to share with us are worth a million dollars.
They're firsthand experiences and from a reliable source.
A quick tip: Learning does not always entail making mistakes for oneself.
Learning from individuals who have already travelled or are on the journey towards your destination is sometimes the wisest choice.
Consider getting travel advice from someone who has recently returned from a trip you are planning to embark on.
While Amazon FBA has enormous earning potential, your success depends on understanding its particular hurdles.
Lesson 1: Patience
After sending 50 units of our snuggle brand to Amazon’s Melbourne warehouse, we were confident about ending 2024 strong. But there was a problem: enthusiasm alone doesn’t guarantee success.
The sales did not arrive as expected, but we weren't concerned because we had nothing to lose and a lot to gain by trying.
The purpose is not to sell products wholeheartedly; rather, it is to develop a digital lifestyle in light of the current circumstances of the digital landscape that we're in.
Yes, we did send an offer to most philosophers we thought would be in severe need of our dear products, but it was unsuccessful. We still love you regardless, perhaps next time.
By the way, if you have anything to sell to us, please do. That's the future of commerce. And this time, we're creating a unique phone holder for creatives.
This design was inspired by the desire to safeguard our gadgets from scratches and dents.
I loathe scratches and dints on my devices, and I am not the type of guy who places them in cases. No f*ckin way, it hides the devices' aesthetics.
You can take a peek if you want. We are designing them with utmost care and made with love.
Great news
Yes. We are giving away five of these beautifully created presents to you for free. This is because we are a Thanksgiving community.
We'll keep you posted; simply continue opening the dawn letters to get all the hints.
Now, talk about New Year, New Bill! I mean for us.
I've attached a screenshot below to demonstrate how it all played out. After all, numbers are more effective storytellers than words.
You see, our net profit was negative fifty-four dollars, Ninety-five cents. (-54.95$). A must-pay fee to remain in the ecosystem.
But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, as we kept reassuring ourselves. Giving up is not even an option at this moment.
I’d remind myself that even Amazon lost money at the beginning of its journey. ...Remember?
Yes. If you have a broader perspective, Amazon is a tremendous tool. However, remember the timeless rule from Community Building 101 about the perils of mediocrity.
You wouldn't wanna build an empire on a leased land.
Lesson 2: Product line
When conducting product research, particularly if yours is not based on a lifestyle design.
consider compact products that require minimal storage space and offer greater versatility. You can still make money if you study the right.
