Summary
Over the years we've seen literally thousands of people using a couple dozen different strategies to try to earn a great income from the world's largest e-commerce platform.
Today we explore several of the options you have and then explain why we feel so strongly about one particular strategy. It's the foundational strategy taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com new seller modules.
The strategy we are most excited to start all new students with is called Replens, and right now is arguably the best time ever to get started based on obvious trends, software that is now available as well as Amazon's own efforts to smooth the process of being a reseller.
Several other opportunities are discussed today as well including building a brand, KDP books, selling used books, drop shipping and others.
