yea sorry, mobile...
I've wanted to get into fba again, but away from the ebay/amazon arbitrage.
Also didn't seem like anyone has taken action at all with the course, just wanted to know if you cover areas of which programs to use like repriceit (i do remember a quick vid you made where you forego this option and have Amazon relabel instead), inventorylab etc.
And yea, i was thinking of doing FBA and book flipping came to mind (instead of clearance/costco flipping, that was too much to deal with), your course and the other course really are the only two around from what i've checked out.
Is your course built more towards the UK or the US?
The FBA course here differs from what the vast majority of BHW members are looking for in that my FBA course focuses on a business model that isn't all about building a site, getting some links to it and then monetising it. The FBA course is a business model that is 100% white hat, long term and stable.
From being at BHW since 2008 I have found that a large number of members have full-time jobs and simply don't have much time to put into setting up a business outside of their current job which isn't their fault. People have to work more hours at their jobs which leave them less time for anything else, but I think that's the general idea of the system that we live in.
People also like a fast ROI, and at the same time, they want something that they don't have to put a lot of money into while also wanting to get a lot of money back out in a short space of time.
I make no secret that selling used books via FBA is very different from what most people on IM forums are either looking for or expecting. However, the profits that can be made selling used books via FBA using this method are immense. It's almost beyond belief really, but those gains may not come within a month of listing that book on Amazon.
However, when you look at how long it can take to get paid for promoting a product as an affiliate then quite often the time scale for getting paid is about the same.
The thought of sourcing used books, listing them for sale as FBA and then waiting for the book to sell to see a return on your investment isn't everyone's cup of tea which is understandable and each to their own.
My FBA course is slanted towards to the UK seller as I am in the UK and some things differ slightly between the UK and USA Amazon Seller Central accounts. It is easier to do this in the USA than the UK and there are a lot more opportunities in the USA than the UK.
There is also more FBA seller services/software that is targeted towards US users.
In the course I don't cover repricing software as more often than not the software will get things wrong. With the FBA system, I am never competing against the lowest seller, so I don't want my books repricing to match theirs. Some FBA sellers will come along and screw up with their pricing and if you have a repricing software watching your books it will drop all of your prices to match theirs which means you will be making the same schoolboy error as them.
Sometimes automation can mess things up. I do also pay Amazon to label all my books for me. I am lazy but I also save time with not having to print labels and stick them on the right book. To me, labeling books is just another admin task that I can get someone else to do at the Amazon distrubution center.
I am currently looking at expanding my efforts in the FBA side of things as I enjoy spending time sourcing books. It gets me away from my desk and I purposely go and source books offline just to get out for a while

I just wish the book sourcing oppertunities that exist in the USA were as readily available in the UK.
