Let\u2019s face it.  Amazon is the future of e-commerce.  So you might as well work with them rather than against them, right?  The trick is in knowing what kind of books bring the greatest margins and then buying them for as cheap as possible.  Those who do well in this industry buy their books for no more than $1 \u2013 $2 and sell them for anywhere from $10 for standard books to $300 for rare or out-of-print books.  They repeat this process for over 1,000 books per month, creating for themselves a six-figure income with Amazon, working from home.  You don\u2019t need to be some kind of marketing genius.  All you have to do to make money online is do what Amazon did 25 years ago: get into the book business.  Here\u2019s An Example of How This Works Check out the book below.  It\u2019s called Disney\u2019s Haunted Mansion: Pop-Up Book.  Notice the price.  I bet you were shocked to learn that some children\u2019s book from the 90s could fetch that kind of dough.  Imagine you bought that book for $2 and sold it for that price.  Easy money, yeah?  You could do that a few times a day on the side, couldn\u2019t you?  And with so many people willing to part with old books like this for pennies, you can see how you can start to make some serious money selling used books like this.  Why Isn\u2019t Everybody Doing This? So if selling books on Amazon FBA is so profitable, why isn\u2019t everyone doing this?  Well, for one thing, they don\u2019t know how to get started because they lack knowledge.  See, most people don\u2019t know the value of used books.  They don\u2019t know how to evaluate a book to determine its Amazon FBA potential.  Remember that Disney book I mentioned above?  Most people would see that at a garage sale and walk right on by.  But with the right training, you can learn how to pick high-margin books and how to get them for a fraction of what you\u2019ll be able to sell them for.  How to Start Selling Books on Amazon FBA If selling books on Amazon FBA sounds like a side hustle or even full-time business that you\u2019d like to start, you\u2019ll need a teacher.  Every year, there are tons of people who try to start this kind of business and fail.  And they fail because they didn\u2019t know what they were doing.  They didn\u2019t invest in their education.  Probably the best education we\u2019ve seen on Amazon FBA is Jim Pickens\u2019 Book Selling 101 (Updated for 2018).  Unlike many online \u201cgurus,\u201d Jim is actually making money selling used books on Amazon FBA.  Jim\u2019s course isn\u2019t some lame collection of outdated PDFs.  Last time I checked it has over 35 training videos that go over everything you need to know about selling books on Amazon FBA.","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Money-Done-Right-Personal-Finance-and-Investing-Blog.png","name":"Money Done Right Logo","height":"488","width":"60","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/#ImageObject"},"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","name":"Money Done Right Address","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"Valencia","addressRegion":"California","postalCode":"91354","streetAddress":"23890 Copper Hill Dr Ste 139","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/#PostalAddress"},"url":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/","publishingPrinciples":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/methodology\/","additionalType":"Blog","name":"Money Done Right","email":"support@moneydoneright.com","sameAs":["https:\/\/twitter.com\/moneydoneright","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/moneydoneright\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/moneydoneright\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/money-done-right\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/moneydoneright\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/MoneyDoneRight"],"foundingLocation":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Santa_Clarita,_California","legalName":"Allec Media LLC","naics":"519130","parentOrganization":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/#ParentOrganization","founder":{"@type":"Person","hasCredential":["https:\/\/cslainstitute.org\/","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Certified_Public_Accountant"],"url":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/author\/logan-allec\/","spouse":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/author\/caroline-allec\/","image":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Logan-Allec-Money-Done-Right.jpg","name":"Logan Allec","description":"Logan Allec is a practicing Certified Public Accountant, Certified Student Loan Professional, and the founder of personal finance blog Money Done Right.
