After starting your journey as an Amazon wholesaler, when did you hit your first $1,000 in sales?
I’m not a huge fan of wholesale on Amazon rather I prefer wholesale on Walmart. I made $1k in sales in only 5 days.

And guys when you get the brand approval how many products you ordered for the first time and what was your budget?
It’s always the best to start slow, whether in terms of items listed or eventual selling volume. Those, who start quickly are subject to account velocity reviews or suspensions.
If you order less than 50 items from reputable wholesalers, none of which sells too quickly, this should be fine as opposed to immediately wishing to turn large volumes, which will result in a suspension.

The time it takes to hit the first $1,000 in sales as an Amazon wholesaler varies based on factors like product selection, sourcing strategy, and initial inventory investment. Some sellers achieve it within a few days if they start with high-demand products, while others take weeks or even months if they face challenges with account approvals, ungating, or competition. Success depends on sourcing profitable products, ensuring a competitive Buy Box price, and managing stock efficiently. If you’re just starting out, focusing on fast-moving items and building relationships with reliable suppliers can accelerate your progress.
The number of products and initial budget after getting brand approval vary among sellers based on risk tolerance, capital, and supplier requirements. Some start with a small test order of 10-50 units to gauge demand and Buy Box rotation, while others invest in larger quantities if they are confident in the product’s sales velocity. Budgets can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the brand’s minimum order quantity and pricing. A good strategy is to start conservatively, monitor sales performance, and scale up based on actual demand to minimize risk and optimize cash flow.
