Learn how to properly set up a business on Amazon
Opening your Amazon business isn’t as simple as registering for a seller account. There are fees to navigate, paperwork to file with your state and federal government, bank accounts to establish, and so much more.
The details are, frankly, exhausting. Luckily, Freedom Ticket demystifies the process for you. Kevin King walks you step by step through all of the bureaucratic hoops you’ll need to jump through to ensure you’ve got your i’s dotted and t’s crossed.

“Put your money where it will have the most impact, cut down on unnecessary costs, and save yourself a headache in the long run.”
Where’s my paycheck?
For a lot of sellers (especially those selling from a location outside of the marketplace they’re in), getting paid by Amazon isn’t as straightforward as direct deposit funds magically appearing in your bank account biweekly (I mean, if only).
This week, Kevin King outlines how to streamline the process of getting money from Amazon into your account, as well as other money moving tips and tricks to help you circumvent various fees and save money from transfers and paying your overseas suppliers.

The short answer: yes.
Why?
Week 2 of Freedom Ticket will discuss the complicated world of intellectual property and how it applies to you as an Amazon seller. Learn how to protect your products and your account from hijackers with Amazon’s Brand Registry, and what steps you need to make to ensure all possible defenses are in place.
We’ll even talk directly with an IP lawyer about the finer points of trademark, copyright, and patent law.
