Sell on Amazon

Selling on Amazon is a legit way to make great money.

Not sure what Amazon FBA even means?

An Amazon FBA business is an online store, but in this case, Amazon handles a lot of the stuff that causes headaches for most e-commerce store owners. “FBA” stands for “Fulfillment by Amazon.”

So you find the inventory, while Amazon stores the product for you, packs and ships it, and handles customer service. Amazon then keeps a portion of the sales as a commission & service fee.

And like I mentioned earlier, my friends earned over $100,000 from reselling items via Amazon FBA.

My friend Jessica and her husband have perfected the art of selling on Amazon and have made well over $100,000 profit (their first year in the biz). Now, they make much more than that.

Jessica even has a free course that tells you everything you need to know in a simplified way to get started selling on Amazon.
