What is Amazon FBA?
Fulfillment by Amazon, or Amazon FBA, is a strategy for selling products in the Amazon marketplace, drawing on their large customer base and trustworthy reputation while using their warehouses for product packaging, storage, and shipment. There are many Amazon FBA business models. Different business models include wholesale Amazon FBA, where you buy items in bulk and sell them at a higher price, Amazon private label, where you buy a brandless product and put your brand on it, and retail/online arbitrage, where you buy products at a store or on a website and sell them on Amazon. Other models include the passion product, liquidations, Amazon Handmade, Merch by Amazon, Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and dropshipping. Each model requires a specific skill set to become an Amazon expert. That’s why it's so important to find a coach with experience in the specific Amazon FBA you are doing.

What Does an Amazon FBA Coach Do?
