Getting Started with FBA

If you are just getting started with FBA, we have a few links of blog posts and videos you should check out. FBA (or Fulfillment by Amazon) is an amazing program where you buy inventory to resell, you send that inventory to an Amazon warehouse, you sell the inventory on the Amazon website, and Amazon then ships the orders to your customers for you. Whether you are looking to make a great side income stream or looking to replace your full-time job, Amazon FBA has tremendous profit potential.

Here are a few blog posts and videos that will help you in the early stages of your FBA business:
