Have I ever told you what I did before FBA existed?

Did you know that before FBA existed, I used to sell books on Amazon? This was before iPhone apps, before 4G, and even before FBA.

I would take a database scanner (a Windows CE PDA) to book sales and thrift stores and literally scan every single book. I'd buy the good ones and list them on Amazon. I had to keep stopping by Lowe's on the way home to buy more book shelves to store them all.

And every day, I would receive dozens of orders that I'd have to pick, pack, and take to the post office.Honestly, it was fun and good money.

Then, FBA came along, and the rest is history.

But I still love books! I've repeatedly said that they are the easiest way to get into selling on Amazon and making money online.

Why? Because they are EASY!

-Easy to find AND low cost (book sales, thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales)

-Easy to identify (since they have barcodes and ISBN numbers)

-Easy to transport, store, ship, and send to FBA

In fact TO THIS DAY I still scan and buy books. There's just something about finding a $100+ book for $1 that never gets old.

If you've always wanted to learn more about making money by buying and selling books, then I have some GREAT NEWS:

The Books & Beyond Conference in coming to Las Vegas on September 13-15 and I'll be there as a speaker!

​

And I'll have something super fresh and downright amazing to share with all of those in attendance. This is an event that you don't want to miss!

Hit me up with questions.
