tldr; Someone is trying to pimp an affiliate link. ASM sells a "dream" and an "opportunity" and you can learn everything you need by either doing or by googling or by buying far cheaper, albeit less slicker, courses. It itself is great marketing and you should watch and learn from their execution, their price points, their production values, and their army of affiliates which gives them scale and magnitude.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it, and I'll tell you why:
If you strongly believed in it, then you would post a link without your bonuses. Posting an affiliate link with a commission potential of four figures = "Something rotten in the Kingdom of Denmark".
In terms of getting things to FBA from china, let me save everyone $4k in 6 easy steps:
  1. Buy a UPC - Vigilante mentions how, or just use google. Cost $10.
  2. Have your graphics designer incorporate the UPC into your packaging design. Cost $50-200.
  3. Make sure your supplier in China users your design. My cost was $0.
  4. Go into FBA and select the option that allows for commingled inventory. Since you are selling your own private label product, this is not a big deal.
  5. Create a new shipment to Amazon. They will provide you with the address of the fulfillment center.
  6. Have your supplier ship to the distribution center, providing them with links to Amazon packing instructions. They will also need to add the shipping manifest and labels provided by Amazon. Again, my cost was $0 on this.
BTW - do you know why I know this? Before I Realized that I could not be working on 30 projects at once, I did exactly this. I did it because I got so many emails about ASM and thought it was ridiculous. So I put a lot less $$ down to test.

Anyway, let me continue to save everyone $4k. Here's how you market an Amazon listing:
1. The same way you market any other product or service. ASM specifically will talk about SEO and FB. If you are a non competitive keyword you can rank the page itself with some easy black hat seo techniques, if competitive it will be more difficult and you will have a lot more success with parasite pages.

Here's how you determine if something is worth selling:
1. Go into Amazon, drill down into categories and sort by top sellers. You can also use the AZON software ( I need to find a link) that does this automagically for you.

There is a great course called Proven Amazon Course by a guy named Jim Cockrum that covers pretty much all this, I think it's $99, so about 1/40th of the price.

With $4000 you can pretty much start an online business in almost any vertical. Why would you spend it on Gurus? This stuff is antithetical to everything MJ espouses.

The only reason I posted anything about asm here was because someone asked about the results from the angel investors.

Like any product, some people will succeed, some people won't do a darn thing with it... even if it is given to you for free... even if they pay $4k for a course. The angel investor results prove this.

Sure anyone can buy products on Alibaba then slap them up on Amazon to sell them. You don't need a course to do that. There is plenty of free advice here and other places. If you don't have much money to get started, you can roll the dice to see if it works.

zend***phin and I agree that it is worth paying for information to learn how to know which products have the highest chance of succeeding, the best way to get them from China to FBA, and how to market them to get maximum sales results both initially and ongoing. This also reduces your learning curve

Some are opposed to paying for any course and prefer to learn things the hard way even it takes twice as long and you lose money along the way.

It is against the TOS for members to review each other's products.

MARS, I would not recommend borrowing the money for the course. It would be better for you to get started with some wholesale real estate deals so you can make some money. ASM will probably be available again next year. Even with a wholesale business, you will learn a lot about negotiating which will help with any other businesses you start.
