Section 17: Additional Suggested Reading
*Download the PDF file by right-clicking here













Reading assignment: "Understanding the Amazon Customer"
This article will help you learn how to price your items at prices that leverage FBA status at increased margins. You'll see why Amazon customers consistently pay far more for the exact same item just to get it from an FBA seller. *Download the PDF file by right-clicking here










Bonus eBook: "How To Make Good Money Selling Used Books on eBay, Amazon.com and the Internet" by Skip McGrath ($27 value!) *Download the PDF file by right-clicking here









Strongly-suggested additional reading (purchase required):    First Book: "How to Sell at Margins Higher Than Your Competitors : Winning Every Sale at Full Price, Rate, or Fee"
This book teaches you that not all people are price-buyers and that there are other factors that go into a buyers' decision. This is important when selling on Amazon and FBA where new sellers often believe they can only compete on price.
Second Book: "The Long Tail, Revised and Updated Edition: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More"
Amazon IS the long tail that this book talks about. You can offer everything no matter how obscure. For example: Consider a book that only sells 3 copies a year. No one would carry it traditionally. No one would even sell it on eBay since they'd have to pay fees all year long, but you can put it on Amazon and get that sale.
