* See for Yourself — If you go into the Amazon marketplace, you can identify the outsiders selling on Amazon easily. If they ship “FBA”, it’s likely an outside source that is selling the items by shipping them to Amazon to fulfill the orders or pack and ship the orders. Plus, you can easily identify the individuals who are self-shipping too.

* Several Ways to Earn — On Amazon you can sell and ship yourself some items like books, or you can use FBA for other items when approved. You can also develop and manufacture your own products, or you can become a private label seller. You can even sell your homemade crafts through their Handmade at Amazon program.

* From Soup to Nuts — Amazon is a one-stop shop for buying all kinds of things that you can’t find locally. People sign up with Amazon, keep their credit card information on file, and then they shop for things that they cannot find — or even everyday items if they have Amazon Prime, due to the free shipping option right from home. To most Amazon shoppers, buying from Amazon doesn’t even feel like spending money. It’s just one click and done.

* Amazon Makes It Easy — There are so many tools that Amazon provides to make it easy for sellers to make money on Amazon. They make it simple to list your inventory, pack, label and ship it to them, and let them take care of the rest. For all that they do, they have relatively low fees. If you can sell your product for three times your costs, you can make a profit.

* It’s a Real Business — This is a real, viable business for someone who likes dealing with physical products. For the most part, you don’t even have to market your store that much; Amazon takes care of most of that for you. But, of course if you do market you’ll see faster results.

* Most Work Part Time — Due to the fact that most successful FBA sellers are only working part time, you can start this without quitting your day job. You can simply work around your work schedule. The hardest part is sourcing a product, and getting it to Amazon for them to ship to people.

It’s very clear that the right person who is willing to put what it takes into it, can indeed make money selling on Amazon. Not only can you make money, you can also earn a living and eventually quit that job and spend more time doing things you enjoy.
