MONEY SHIPPING: How To Start A Profitable Amazon FBA Business In 11 Weeks: Optimize Your Profits and Go From Side Hustle to Passive Income With Minimal Effort (MONEY MAKING SERIES)

This is not the book I was expecting it gives you all the basics basically about how to open an account it doesn’t have much in depth descriptions in certain bits but it was useless .

Review from family lawyer: While I think the publication has value in starting an e-commerce business with the largest platform in the world, there is some incomplete and downright erroneous information early on in the book. The author suggests that the merchant (you) create an entity such as an LLC or Corporation (S Corp) in order to shield your personal assets in case you get sued in your sales endeavor. Please note that it is very possible that a buyer could claim he or she was injured due to your product. Given the fact the venue and jurisdiction is literally hundreds of places, and subject to their laws, the bare suggestion is extremely careless. The author does not discuss getting liability insurance to cover any such claims as well as legal defense of these in court if if comes to that. Simply creating an LLC or corporation as a 'shell' without being adequately insured, would almost always allow the plaintiff injured party to "pierce the corporate veil" and go after the seller's personal and individual assets. One element of this 'piercing' is being "inadequately insured" against losses. I cannot speak for all states' respective laws but 'piercing the corporate veil', subjecting risk of personal assets to satisfy a judgment, is available in most if not all states and other jurisdictions. I am not officially giving legal advice to the readers, but only strongly suggest obtaining liability insurance from a reputable agent explaining to them what you will be doing. I'm pretty sure that when one starts an e-commerce sales business from scratch and sales are expected to be below say $100k the first year or so, the insurance premium should not be too high depending upon the product being sold. So, this is an additional expense to consider. Overall, I learned a great deal from this book and author. I would have given it four stars. I do suggest a future edit by the author after consultation with a good attorney. After all, the seller should want to protect their personal assets, personal bank accounts and equity in their home in the event of a lawsuit - frivolous or not. Even if you win, you will have to pay a lawyer out of your pocket to defend you. With good and adequate liability insurance, the legal defense will be included in your policy as well as any judgment reducing worry and stress. My $.02.

This book is an easy read and was helpful, but for what you get, I think is overpriced. There is good information provided, but I am still not sure it explains where one would source profitable products to sell.

To me there are some valuable things in this book that not even those social media influencers talk about. But also there is a portion that could have been left out in my opinion. The part about having an LLC could have been left out as it really has nothing to do with or should have nothing to do with learning Amazon FBA. I think the book should have mentioned you don’t have to have one if you are just starting out as a sole proprietor then if you want to take it serious and expand and scale your FBA business then (per your city, county, and state regulations) get an LLC if you don’t already have one so you are stay compliant with tax laws. I just feel it takes away from truly learning more about how to Amazon FBA. Other than that the book was okay. I highlighted what was useful for future reference and set it aside as you’ll need capital to start. Nothing in this world is free and you’ll need some cash to start in some way.

My wife already has a lot of experience with Amazon, but to learn this book is to learn about the fundamentals. There was some things we didnt know in the path to open your store and we filled some gaps in our knowledge. This book doesnt give you how to create a successful store, but it teaches you some of the pillars of open one.
