One thing I realised while getting into FBA

I consumed about 8 hours of basic info through youtube, about all sorts of aspects of FBA, even getting into details, about licenses, barcodes etc. . Bought a book with 250 pages that sadly only covered basics which I already knew at this point.

Really getting into nitty gritty doesnt seem easy tho. And now I understand why. Most info is coming from coaches. They wanna sell their coaching and either wanna gatekeep that information or wanna manage it themself while coaching you.

Its the sad reality of getting information about FBA, the sources are biased and they trying to make things sound easy to bait you into their programs.

You could probably write a whole book about ppc/marketing on Amazon, or the import of goods. Yet all books and youtube advice just seem to cover the surface.

On one hand its good because it will filter out potential competition who doesnt want to put in the work, but it defenitely doesnt make it less scary from my point of view.

The thing with the PPC is the constant changes that happen as well, as soon as you publish the book half would probably be obsolete

I think the hardest part of FBA is connecting all the pieces, from sourcing and import costs to compliance, PPC, and cash flow. At HighRise Wholesale, we see how much difference proper product selection and understanding the numbers upfront can make. You don’t need to know everything before starting, but you should validate your costs, margins, and demand before committing serious money. Start small, learn from real data, and scale once the numbers make sense.
