Why I quit Amazon FBA After 30 Days - Retail Arbitrage

I tried retail arbitrage on Amazon FBA for 30 days. I was able to make over $4,000 in revenue. I break down what went into getting to that number, from getting unrestricted in categories to how much time I spent to make that money.

In the end, you can see that I ended up making a pretty underwhelming dollar amount per hour, I also talk about the big issue with FBA retail arbitrage, and that's scalability.

When I got started with Online and Retail Arbitrage, I was confused with some of the different apps and software needed to start, so I made a list to try and help you start.

Something that I forgot to mention is the usefulness of in my journey doing Amazon FBA and Retail Arbitrage a barcode scanner. I was on the edge of buying one, but when I did it increased my items scanned, and in turn, items were found tenfold. I was so shocked that I left a review for it on amazon. This is the one I used, and I recommend buying one when the budget allows. It will pay itself off.

Thanks for having me be a part of this GREAT dive into what selling on Amazon actually is like! I know R.A. isn't for everyone, and I'm glad you figured out what works best for you!!! Can't wait to see your success on this channel, too!!!

[LifewithSharm]

This kid just explained the whole idea straight to the point. You did a better job more than these adults trying to explain this topic. Keep the videos coming kiddo!

[pathtobillions]

Such a realistic deep dive into retail arbitrage. For me retail arbitrage is a stepping stone that teaches you how to run a small business and build capital to invest in something more scalable. Keep the videos coming!

[kilis]

this is the most useful, succinct video i have ever watched on any topic in my life lol. no fluff no prolonged unnecessary filler content, continuously informative/helpful. thank you

[andreeatalpos]

Honestly, thank you for being so straightforward. learned more from you than from previous 5 videos ive watched combined.

[colincarreiro]

I’ve learned more from this video then any of these other YouTuber. Straight to the point. Told all the details and didn’t leave anybring out.

[SkipLOU]

Yea, this kid is goin to be on Forbes 30, under 30. This is a business man in a kids body lol. Keep going King! 👑

[tourofthanh]

love how you got straight to the point bro. such a realistic video of RA, keep up the good work

[MrJLew]

Defiantly one of the best youtube videos ive scene in a while. Great content, great presentation, great delivery.

[akaMilo]

bro is gonna be crazy rich, great finance YouTuber with high CPM and creating online businesses. You’re a legend

[sheenachen]

Thanks for being honest and breaking down the numbers! I always had an interest but suspicion in how much it was worth my time to try RA and this confirms for me it's not a hobby or lifestyle that I want

[onceinawhile]

Kid, you are going places. I totally respect the transparency and detail

[lovelyk]

Glad you covered this so many people try and sell you there programs and e books on Amazon FBA but they leave out so many restrictions and limitations. It's just not as easy as they say. Kudos to you.

[antoinepindrys]

Honestly the best video regarding this subject on YouTube! You literally showed everything, unlike other fake gurus who hide everything (prob cause they’re faking it) and just try to sell you some course... Not only is your content and video high quality production but the information is incredibly valuable! Like you said, retail arbitrage is not really sustainable/scalable (I’ve experienced this myself). It can make you a little extra cash as a side hustle but that’s about it. Your idea of buying wholesale and becoming a retailer for certain products and brands on Amazon or even selling on your own website (E-commerce) is a much better business model that can be turned into a more passive income. Thank you for this video! New subscriber here!

[cbourque]

Wow I was blow away. Your first video and it's the most honest, no bs video I found on this whole selling scene. You're one smart kid . Dont stop.

[HoustonRocket]

Ayy lil brother I want to thank you for taking the time to share that video bc for someone like myself, the info was incredibly valuable. I was seriously considering doing this & it would’ve been another one of these ideas I found on the internet that ended up making me look foolish. I really don’t want to look stupid anymore for being fooled by people on the internet selling “business models” that turn out like this. You’re going to be successful bro. Don’t lose sight of how important it is to be sincere in life. I appreciate your time. ✌️

[mamallama]

Wow, I have been researching Amazon fba for months and wish I came across your videos sooner! I HIGHLY appreciate the transparency. Going to check out your other vids now! Thanks!

[EnablingEcom]

Wow great video; RA is a tough gig when you factor in the time involved. You broke things down perfectly. And your video editing is on point! Keep it up.

[KaptainUpYours]

One of the best produced and well structured videos I have watched in a long time. Keep up the great work. You're hustle, determination and vision is admirable and no doubt in my mind you're going to be a top YouTuber in the finance space if you keep going. Subbed liked and shared!

[egyptian_thoth]

It took a 15-year-old to make an amazing and truthful video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and watched the entire video. I usually get bored and can see through the bullcrap others try to pull and leave the videos early on. This was amazing.
