💵 CASH FLOW IS KING - 3 QUICK TIPS

Evan Swanson wishes more gurus gave sellers actual financial advice, rather than just saying “cash flow is crucial to success”

Here are 3 quick ways he improves cash flow immediately:

1. Credit Card Due Date Optimization:

   • Standard credit cards provide a payment window of up to 55 days (30 day bill cycle + 25 days due date).

   • The AMEX Plum Card, with a $250 annual fee, offers an extended window of up to 90 days and a 1.5% early pay discount, significantly improving liquidity.

2. Inventory Purchase via Credit Card:

   • Despite challenges with Alibaba's platform, the big benefit is being able to expense inventory with a credit card instead of making a wire transfer.

3. PPC Billing Threshold Modification:

   • Amazon's default PPC billing is set at $500 increments.

   • Negotiate this threshold to higher amounts, such as $10,000, potentially extending payment cycles by 30 to 60 days.
