    Money-Chasing Burns Bestselling Author...*Poof!* His pen name is gone.

    MINDSET 
    Imagine yourself a bestselling author on Amazon, raking in fame and fortune as a top romance novelist. Now, imagine your brand is gone in an instant, and why? Because you dedicated your energy to cheating, money-chasing, and skirting the rules rather than building a long-term brand. Just this...

    Navigating the changes at Amazon since we started

    NOTABLE! 
    A lot of the eCommerce focus on the forum was a group of several that started around the same time. Dozens of us were doing eCommerce, with several different products but the same basic strategies. Amazon has changed a TON since @biophase, @AllenCrawley, @LightHouse, @JAJT, @Kak and several...

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    To commemorate my 50th thread on the Fastlane Forum, I wanted to share a topic that is very core to my business. It’s a simple concept. If you sell on Amazon, but not wholesale to other retailers, you’re throwing away millions of dollars. Let’s look at this. On this pallet is 900 units...

    I've sold over $1,000,000 in products - Cool right?

    INTRO 
    Hey guys! I joined this forum a few years ago and have never contributed or even stuck around for more than 5 minutes to make a post. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. First things first I'm not a guru, I despise them and I can only assume I chose that username in 2015 because I was drunk or a...

    MEETUPS 
    As you may know, Amazon started Amazon Boost last year, their annual conference for FBA sellers. They're holding it in New Orleans this year, $299 for early bird pricing. Is anyone considering going to this? Or has anyone gone last year? What was your experience? Was it worth it...

    $200 for 5 Desks

    EXECUTION 
    Many years back, I bought an office suite. I had several employees, but in my own private office, I had the old school mahogany desk with a credenza and all of the accessories. I spent a few thousand dollars on it. It was nice. Big chair, fat guest chairs, fake rubber plant, everything...

    Running Away From Alibaba and Amazon

    RANT 
    If you have read Unscripted, you'll understand why sourcing from Alibaba and then selling on Amazon is such a slow-lane idea. On page 249, MJ talks about how this idea violated the commandment of entry. I tried doing the same (sourcing from Alibaba and selling on Amazon) but stopped halfway. I...
