This is done by giving you the tools to monitor what keywords are performing best, experiment with your own Google ads and learn how to tailor these ads to best entice potential customers. Runnings ads on Google is great because it brings people directly to your product’s page, instead of seeing them in a list with those of competitors, and because Amazon rewards you bringing visitors to its site by ranking your products higher. AMPD helps you find the keywords that are most relevant for your store and lets you understand how they perform, such as which keywords were more likely to result in a visitor adding the product to their cart.

The cost of AMPD starts at $147 per month.

Most importantly, your remittance schedule is based on your cash flow to ensure your business can continue growing consistently. You can customize any aspect of your 8fig Growth Plan, whether it be funding, payment schedule, remittances or remittance schedule. And the best thing is you can make changes in real-time to reflect the ups and downs that are natural to eCommerce. What is unique about 8fig’s model is that you are given continuous capital infusions that are aligned with your supply chain, for example, to fund a new freight of goods. This also helps cash flow while keeping the cost of capital lower.
