Amazon FBA is The Perfect Online Business for Seniors

Posted Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Learn How To Sell on Amazon

According to Comscore Amazon is now the number one shopping destination on the web with over 20-million visitors a month.  eBay is a distant second with 15-million. If you are not selling on Amazon you are missing a huge market.  But Amazon works differently than eBay and some training is in order. The Proven Amazon Course is your ticket to that training –and the price has just been reduced by $100.

This is a very temporary price cut.

The Proven Amazon Course has easily been our most successful training course to date.  Its called the “proven” course because it really works.  And, it comes with a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied for any reason.

Why is Amazon FBA the Perfect Online Business Opportunity for Seniors?

The trouble with a normal online business whether it be selling on eBay, or from a website or from Amazon is all the hassle of packing and shipping.  Well Amazon FBA fixes that. FBA stands for Fulfillment By Amazon. With FBA you send your merchandise to Amazon.  Amazon sells it for you, collects the money and ships it for you.  Then they send you a check.

I recently attended the annual Amazon sellers conference in Seattle and I have to tell you that about 35% of the sellers who were there were fellow seniors.  One fellow was 72 and in a wheelchair.  He has a $10,000 a month Amazon business using FBA.

Here are some great reasons to learn how to sell on Amazon:

o  Mashable.com recently reported that one in five people were on Amazon.com in the month of June 2011. Amazon is the MOST shopped website ever.

o  You can send virtually ANY item with a barcode on it to Amazon and they’ll list, sell and ship it for you…and send you a check every two weeks. You can even put barcodes on your own stuff and send it to them.

o  You can visit the “discount” aisle (or closeout section of a website) of virtually any chain store (Wal-mart, Target, Big Lots, Meijer, Toys-R-Us etc.)  and find profitable (200-300% is easy) inventory. Box it all up in one box, and send it to Amazon. They do the rest.
For example:  Just last week I found Rachel Ray Cooler Totes at Costco for $11.95 each.  No one had them on Amazon.  I bought a dozen and sold all of them for $39 each.  I also found Cars2 Sticker sets for kids for $9.90 at Costco and am getting $24.95 for them on Amazon –and Amazon is doing all the work.

Why is our training so good?

o  We include videos, eBooks to read and tons of step by step screenshots to show you how it all works.  And there is a forum where you can get help from experts:  A handful of world class experts monitor the forum to assist students as they build an Amazon biz and make it as hands free as possible.

These incredible experts are people like Chris Green, Bob Willey, Suzanne Wells, Skip McGrath (me), Julie Anna Schultz, Nathan Holmquist, Steve Lindhorst, JB Malik, and Stephanie Inge.  These are THE Amazon selling POWER PLAYERS and they are hanging out with hundreds of excited Amazon sellers on the discussion forums of the  Proven Amazon Course.

o  The training we’ve put together is by far the best you’ll find on the subject and has been endorsed and promoted by nearly EVERY major expert in the Amazon selling arena.

This highly discounted price will not last long. So don’t wait.

Need Extra Money – Get Summertime Jobs for Seniors in Alaska

Posted Saturday, August 13th, 2011

I got an interesting email from one of my readers this week alerting me to a great opportunity for seniors. Summer Jobs in Alaska working for Cruise lines, lodges and as tour guides.  This is the real deal –nothing to buy – just apply.

One of the employers is Princess cruises who operate several wilderness lodges in Alaska.  Even though you are a seasonal employee, when you are not working your get steeply discounted crusises on Princess. Here is what it says about that:

Under the Employee Space Available Program, eligible employees are afforded the chance to travel at a reduced rate for an inside cabin on a space-available basis.  Cabin upgrades may be available for an additional fee.  To be eligible for this program, employees must complete two consecutive seasonal contracts, working a minimum of 600 hours total.  With every consecutive season worked, you gain higher seasonal seniority, which means a greater chance of being confirmed on your selected cruise!

The Friends and Family Program offers select cruises for Princess seasonal employees at discounted rates not available to the general public.  You are eligible for this program after one seasonal contract and remain eligible until one year from the date your seasonal employment ends.  You may book as many cruises as you like under this program!

Employees traveling on either program are eligible for onboard Captain’s Circle privileges at the applicable level (depending on how many Princess cruises you have taken in the past), as well as a variety of discounts on items including bar purchases, boutiques purchases, photo purchases, and more.  As a Princess employee, you are also eligible to purchase industry travel protection insurance at a deeply discounted rate.

 

One of the other employers is the Alaska Tour Division.  Here is what the website says about them:

A summer job in Alaskaat one of our many tour divisions offers a wide range of exciting opportunities. Positions range from Server and Chef on our award winning train cars to Driver Guides, Tour Directors and Guest Service support staff.
