Ever since Jessica and Cliff Larrew joined me for Smart Passive Income Podcast Episode 99, I’ve received so many questions from curious entrepreneurs about selling on Amazon. Here today to answer those questions and offer some seriously actionable strategies are Amazon experts Ryan and Nick from Online Selling Experiment.
Ryan and Nick have built a thriving, passive income business selling products with the help of the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program. This program allows online entrepreneurs to send merchandise to Amazon’s warehouses and sell it through the Amazon marketplace to a vast audience. What started as a two-man operation has grown into a booming source of passive income, thanks to Ryan and Nick’s smart scaling.
In this episode, Ryan and Nick walk through each step of building a Fulfillment by Amazon-based business, including how to scale up your operation when the time is right. They’ll cover everything from shopping hacks, to starting costs, to Amazon’s rules and restrictions, to working with buyers, and more. You’ll finish this episode armed with the resources you’ll need to start selling on Amazon yourself.
An FBA-based business can be a great entry point into earning passive income online—I’ve even started trying it myself with some pretty neat results, which I’ll tell you all about in the episode. Listen in for more tips and strategies for getting started as a seller!
