About our review processHow does Amazon Bootcamp help you make money?

The Amazon Boot Camp 4.0 by The Selling Family is an online course that aims to teach you how to build an ecommerce business with Amazon FBA.

There are multiple strategies you can use for selling on Amazon, and the Amazon Bootcamp focuses exclusively on Retail Arbitrage (buying products locally) and Online Arbitrage (buying from retailers online) for sourcing products.

Retail and Online Arbitrage seem to have the lowest barrier to entry when it comes to the initial investment and experience needed, compared to other strategies for Amazon FBA.

Please note that this course seems to be mainly focused on Retail Arbitrage which requires offline work. You will be going to brick and mortar retailers to find products you want to resell on Amazon.

Amazon Bootcamp has multiple pricing options. You can get access to the course materials by paying $495 or 3 payments of $195. There is also an “extra support” option for $995 which will give you access to the Facebook community, Q&A sessions and a 30-minute one-on-one call with Jessica, and more (details here).

Keep in mind that you’ll also need some money to buy inventory and possibly spend on advertising. The total amount you need depends on the product you’re planning to sell. But generally speaking, you’ll need at least a few thousand dollars extra.

Affiliate Lab Reviews

We’ve already collected and published 20+ reviews of The Affiliate Lab.

That’s now ranked #2 on our list of the best affiliate marketing courses

$250,000/year Online Trivia Business

Collin Waldoch started Water Cooler Trivia back in 2018 and has grown it to more than $20,000/month in recurring revenue

As Collin explained in a recent podcast interview, the business is pretty simple. He started out emailing weekly trivia questions to colleagues at his old 9-to-5, then did it via Mailchimp for his friends’ workplaces. He partnered with a developer to build the current version of it, and reckons the business could grow another 10-20x as is.

Companies like Nike, Lyft and Amazon avail of the service, using it for “asynchronous team building.”

I like that concept: team building exercises that don’t require everyone to be in one place or on a scheduled call. Ideal for a remote working world

How else could you help companies practice asynchronous team building?

Start a Bridge Business

Here’s something that took me years to figure out. If I had known this earlier, I would have saved a ton of time and earned way more money in my early years of working online.

It’s generally a BAD idea for your first online business to be something like affiliate marketing, ecommerce, or SaaS.

Those types of businesses are pretty complex and usually take months or years of effort before they become profitable.

(For example, it took me 20 months working full-time on my affiliate marketing business before I had my first $10,000 month. And that was with 8 years of prior experience working online.)

A better way to start earning online is with a bridge business: something that gives you a decent income relatively quick, while also letting you develop skills and know-how that you can leverage later.

Say you want to get into ecommerce. It’s tempting to spend a few thousand dollars on a fancy Amazon FBA course and believe you’ll be earning $20k/month by November.

But that almost never happens

More likely, you end up spending $10k on the course + inventory + ads… and a year later you’ve barely earned anything back.

If you really want to get into ecommerce, a better way to do it is via a bridge business. That’s where you try find freelance work or a remote job helping out an established ecommerce business. Maybe you learn some copywriting and offer to beef up their ad copy. Way easier and faster to earn a living that way than trying to build an entire ecommerce business from scratch.

Working with an established business also gives you valuable insight. You get a good sense of what skills and resources you’ll need to build something similar. You gain an appreciation for how much time and effort goes into it, and what the day-to-day of a successful business looks like. And you can develop valuable contacts and maybe even find a mentor or two.

Check out this article for a breakdown of the different types of online business, and how they compare to each other. Understanding that framework will save you a lot of time, money, and frustration

$100,000 ebook sales in 8 months

That’s Steph Smith’s book, Doing Content Right.

Lots of great insight in Steph’s recent AMA on Indie Hackers.

My favorite part is her response to a question about how she managed to write the book while holding down a full-time job:

I always like to remind people that the book was actually 5+ years in the making (learning and distilling the expertise) when I answer this question. I think I originally heard of the Jack Kerouac’s book written in three weeks and an interview where he’s asked “How long did it take you to write ‘On The Road’”, to which Jack replies, “Three weeks”. But when Allen asks, “How long were you on the road for?”, Jack says, “Seven years”. In other words, Kerouac spent seven years and three weeks writing that book.

90-Minute Reminder

A few weeks back I shared this free challenge that gives you several 2-minute movement routines that you can do every 90 minutes during your work day.

It’s great for preventing issues that can result from sitting at your laptop all day. (Eg. back or neck pain.)

My only issue was remembering to take a break every 90 minutes

Problem solved with this free Mac app. And here’s an alternative that works on Window and Mac.

He turned $300k into $2 billion

Garry Tan invested $300k in Coinbase back in 2012.

When the company went public earlier this month, his stake was worth $2 billion

(And yeah, not everyone has $300k sitting around to invest. But even a $1000 investment back then would have resulted in a $6.7 million return.)

Garry tells the story in this YouTube video, explaining why he said yes to the “crazy idea” of Coinbase when so many others said no.

But that video exists mainly to grab your attention. This one will give you the practical info on how to get rich.

This stat blew my mind

Apparently more than 40% of the money the USA has ever printed was printed last year

With all that money floating around, it’s no surprise that more than 10 million brokerage accounts were opened in the US in 2020 (a new record).

So it seems an unprecedented number of people are eager to invest these days.

Now might be a good time to remember the words of one of the most successful investors of all-time:

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” – Warren Buffett

Elbow Grease and Darts

This is a concept from the aforementioned interview with Collin Waldoch (the trivia guy).

He boils success down to two things: elbow grease and darts

Elbow grease is getting your hands dirty, putting in the work consistently.

Combine that with regularly throwing darts – ie. trying different things, seeing what hits the mark – and success becomes inevitable.

Are you putting enough elbow grease into your business?Are you throwing enough darts?What course do you want to review?

The cool thing about Salesforce in particular is that there seems to be a severe shortage of qualified consultants, so there’s lots of opportunity there if you’re willing to study up for a couple of months.

Alternatively, if you’re already familiar with some other popular software, you could hang out your shingle for that right away. For example, I see several Airtable freelancers charging $100-200 per hour on Upwork

Deal of the Week: Keyword Hero

Keyword Hero is an SEO tool that lets you see all of your organic keywords and their specific performance metrics inside Google Analytics.

It has solid reviews and at only $49 for lifetime access, it’s a steal compared to major keyword tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs.

Terrifically Tedious

I absolutely this article from Jacob Kaplan-Moss.

He starts off explaining how the best magic tricks work, and shows how the same principle applies in pretty much any field.

In short: what often appears to be magic or genius is usually the result of putting more time and effort into something than most people would consider reasonable.

Facebook ads vs YouTube ads

Over at UAC, Darko reports that YouTube’s social media market share has grown from 73% to 81% in the last two years, while Facebook’s share has remained flat at 69%.

Opportunity: There’s an obvious supply/demand gap between YouTube and Facebook. Go to Google and type “Facebook ads”. Now do the same for “Youtube ads”. The ecosystem around small businesses advertising on Facebook is HUGE. YouTube? Not so much.

2021 might have created a gap in supply/demand that you can exploit if you can find how to use YouTube ads in an efficient way.

I did a little more digging and Facebook collected about 4x more advertising revenue than YouTube in 2020 Q4, and it looks like ad spend is still trending upwards on both platforms

So you can do well offering ad services on either, but there’s still a lot more money being pumped into Facebook ads right now.

Weapons for Rebels

A famous quote from the CEO of Shopify:

“Amazon is trying to build an empire. Shopify is trying to arm the rebels.”

The rebels are the Shopify store owners. And developers are earning an increasing amount of money selling them weapons (aka apps).

“Our app partner earnings for 2020 reached a record height of $233.7M – that’s more than 2018 and 2019 combined!” – @ShopifyDevs

Do go chasing waterfalls

Paraphrasing from Shaan Puri’s newsletter…

You can try to find water in a dessert. Or you can go to a waterfall and get wet.

Choosing what to work on is way more important than how good you are at it.

You can try to be a hero, trying to create demand in a dry market. But it’s better to just go where there’s a ton of demand and offer something (anything) to them. Walk near a waterfall, and just get wet.
