Listen as Skip interviews Stephanie Inge for about 30 minutes on how she's been successfully using Amazon.com since April 2010 using the FBA program. Stephanie noticed a big boost in sales the first day she started using FBA...and recounts how much fun it was to watch the money roll in while she didn't have to touch any of the merchandise (shipping, photography, listing etc.)

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.
