Podcast Episode 291 – How FBA Helps You Make Way More Money Than FBM

May 2, 2025 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

When you’re just starting out as a seller on Amazon, it might seem like Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) is the cheaper and  smarter way to go. But today, we’re pulling back the curtain and showing you why Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) is the real game-changer if you’re serious about maximizing your income while reducing the amount of effort required from you as the business owner. (Unless your dream was to become a one-person warehouse…then hey, live the dream.)

Listen to today’s episode as we break down why FBA is the key to scaling faster, selling smarter, and actually making more money with your Amazon business!

Listen on the podcast player below.

Key points from Episode 291:

  • 📦 The real difference between FBA and FBM (and why it’s not just about fees)
  • 🚀 How FBA skyrockets your sales — sometimes 30x more — compared to FBM
  • 🛒 Why Prime-eligible inventory wins the buy box (and why that matters way more than you think)
  • 🗺️ How Amazon spreads your inventory across the U.S. — boosting regional sales without you lifting a finger
  • 💰 How FBA leads to higher profits, not just more sales
  • 🛠️ Why outsourcing fulfillment (via FBA) is critical if you actually want to scale, not just hustle harder

THE FULL-TIME FBA
COACHING PROGRAM

Selling on Amazon might sound easy… but it’s not. Too many Amazon reseller “gurus” will try to get you to fall for an Amazon reseller “get rich quick” scheme, but we’re here to tell you the truth:

  • Selling on Amazon is hard, especially when you’re all by yourself… BUT it’s so much easier with a guide — and we’re here to help.
  • Selling on Amazon is not a “get rich quick” scheme… BUT it can be a “get rich slowly” plan. With commitment to working hard, combined with our expert guidance, you can start making a full-time income selling on Amazon within about a year.

That’s why you’re invited to join our 6-12-month long Full-Time FBA Coaching Program. No matter if you’re brand new to selling on Amazon or if you have a few years of experience, our coaching program will take you from where you are to making a full-time income in about 12-months.

We’ve been coaching sellers like you for over a decade and have found what it takes to help you make that full-time income dream into a reality. Find out more about The Full-Time FBA Coaching Program (including how to set up a Connect Call with me to ask your specific questions about the program).
