    Frequently Asked Questions

    What percentage does Amazon FBA take?

    Amazon FBA charges two main fees: a referral fee (8–20% of sale price depending on category, typically 15%) and an FBA fulfillment fee ($3.06–$6.40+ per unit based on weight). On a $30 product at 0.5 lbs in the General category: $4.50 referral + $3.15 FBA = $7.65 total fees (25.5%). Always factor in at least 30% for fees when pricing products.

    How much does Etsy charge per sale?

    Etsy charges: $0.20 listing fee + 6.5% transaction fee + 3% + $0.25 payment processing. On a $25 sale with $5 shipping: total fees ≈ $3.50 (11.7% effective rate). If the sale came through Offsite Ads, add 15% more ($4.50), bringing total fees to $8.00 (26.7%). Factor this in when pricing your Etsy items.

    Which platform has lower fees: Etsy or Shopify?

    It depends on volume. Etsy charges ~11–12% per sale (no monthly fee on the free plan). Shopify charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction plus $39/month (Basic plan). At $1,000/month in sales: Etsy = ~$115 in fees. Shopify Basic = ~$68. At $500/month: Etsy ≈ $58, Shopify ≈ $68 (Shopify is more expensive at low volumes due to the monthly fee).

    How much can you make on TikTok with 100K followers?

    Creator Fund: ~$40–$80/month (very low). Brand deals: $1,500–$6,000/month depending on niche. Finance and tech creators earn significantly more per post ($2,500–$8,000 for 100K followers) vs entertainment creators ($500–$2,000). The real money is brand partnerships, affiliate links, and selling your own products/courses.

    What is a good AdSense RPM?

    RPM (Revenue per Mille, i.e., per 1,000 views) varies enormously by niche: Finance/Insurance: $15–$40 · Health/Medical: $8–$15 · Tech/Software: $8–$18 · Home & Garden: $5–$12 · Food/Recipes: $3–$7 · Entertainment: $2–$5. US/UK/Canada traffic pays 3–5× more than global average. Q4 (Oct–Dec) RPMs are typically 2–3× higher than January due to advertiser budgets.
