Amazon FBA is an extremely popular way to make serious money online. One of the reasons is that literally anyone can do it… you don’t have to be a big multinational to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.
But there are many other reasons.
I’ve asked experienced Amazon FBA sellers why they sell on Amazon and why it is so popular. Here’s what they had to say…
*** Why Amazon FBA? We love it! ***
“We sell our dog treats on Amazon FBA. We love it for a number of reasons;
- Another revenue channel
- Easy to do once you’re set up
- Use FBA for our fulfilment
- Our number one channel
- Reach new customers”
Lucas Walker – Treats Happen
*** Why is Amazon FBA so popular? Quality Control ***
“Why is Amazon FBA so popular? (quality control):
“Selling products through the Amazon affiliate programme has been popular amongst internet marketers for years, but there are several drawbacks to the affiliate programme that have led many of these marketers to start using Amazon FBA instead.
“One of the main concerns is the lack of control that you have over the quality of the products that you’re selling, as you never actually see them in person. Many marketers have been on the receiving end of complaints and even abuse from buyers about the quality of the products that they’re selling, when really this should be directed at the seller on Amazon or the company who manufacture the product.
“With Amazon FBA, you can inspect every item that you sell before you ship it, so you can rest safe in the knowledge that you’re selling quality products and that your reputation will remain intact.”

*** Reasons to use Amazon FBA ***
“My Name is Noah Bleich, I am the owner of The TeaBook, a small startup company. We use FBA for several reasons;
- It is cheaper to ship our product to Amazon, and have them ship it to our customers by more than 50%.
- Orders received on our site, can be shipped even when our offices are closed or we are out travelling.
- The cost to warehouse at Amazon is cheaper than renting in Los Angeles.
- They handle the customer service/returns process.”
My Opinion
Why Amazon FBA? Here’s why I think it is so popular;
- You’re leveraging the massive reach of Amazon.com (10th most used website in the world)
- You can start off without needing to have any inventory
- It’s going to be around for a long time to come
- You can outsource a lot of the business
