The ​Problem
​The big retail store put new toys on clearance last week, but all the good stuff is gone.

You want to make money from major & minor holidays, but don’t know how.

The “Summer Slowdown” halted your sales to next to nothing.

You just got charged a huge storage fee and have no idea why it was so big.

Cyber Monday sales seem to be good for other sellers, but yours were just OK.

You wish you bought more of the right items to sell during Q4.

You’re missing out on a lot of profitable opportunities simply because you’re not prepared.

​​​Stephen has done it again! His Year in FBA book is jam packed with tons of FBA money making and time saving tips for every month of the year! Not only does he walk the seller through all of the relevant events, sales, and holidays for each month, but also provides dozens of resources in each chapter to maximize your sourcing dollars. I highly recommend reading it from cover to cover and then revisiting each month’s chapter to be fully prepared for what lies ahead on the calendar. This comprehensive guide will come in handy no matter how you source your inventory – thrift stores, clearance sales, garage sales, online arbitrage..and even trade shows!
​ Jay Bayne
​​​The Reseller’s guide to a Year of FBA is a perfect addition to your FBA education. The best part is reading it a chapter at a time. It is perfect for the time starved Amazon business owner who is trying to run a business and a family. Read one chapter, put it into practice and move on! Another great book to add to the FBA collection. Thanks, Stephen.
​​​Kristin Ostrander
​​​​Stephen Smotherman has put together a year’s worth of advice for selling on Amazon, all of which is cleverly broken down by month. His book is full of useful, actionable information on a huge range of topics…from Halloween bundles to dealing with long term storage; from learning what Amazon reports you must download to effective ways to bundling basics. Finding it hard to get motivated after the huge holiday sales period is over? Flip to January and you’ll learn about the Q4 Detox. Want to know what to expect in the summer months as you build your business? Flip to the July chapter and you’ll learn that you should be working on reducing your long term storage fees. While especially valuable for sellers who have not been though an entire year on Amazon, I bet a seller of any experience level will find useful hints and tips in The Reseller’s Guide to a Year in FBA. I know I did.
​Charlene Anderson
​​​​I’m so glad I purchased this book! The Reseller’s Guide gives month by month detail of what you should be working on in your FBA business. It also tells you what to be planning ahead for. I also loved the tips about which stores have the best sales during the year. Full of valuable information and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend to anyone starting an Amazon resale business.
​Sandy Tooker
​I have devoured The Reseller’s Guide to a Year in FBA and I have to say this was a very well thought out, very organized, very true to life book about the experiences that every reseller deals with. Stephen’s book is an honest look into the life of a reselling entrepreneur and a must read for anybody in the e-commerce world. I am going to recommend that my Amazon clients read this book, over & over again as there is a lot of wisdom in these pages! Great job, Stephen Smotherman!
​Sam E. Cohen
​​​​I can say from personal experience, this book and the support it comes with is excellent! The monthly training videos, paired with the ebook’s content helped me have a heads up about things coming up. A lot of times there were things I didn’t even consider! I also love the secret Facebook group because all the people in there have some of the same goals and are so willing to help others out when anyone has questions. In the end, I doubled my sales from 2016 to 2017 with a lot of help coming from the information in The Reseller’s Guide to a Year in FBA and the Facebook group as well.
​Diane Mashburn
​​Wow! Where was this book when I started Amazon FBA? This book reads like a monthly encyclopedia of what to expect in a year selling Amazon FBA. Stephen does an excellent job of summarizing each month of selling and breaking it down into easy to read and understand segments. Each month provides helpful tips, important dates and recommendations based upon the author’s own personal selling experience. A Year in FBA provides an honest depiction of selling Amazon FBA and the content covered in this book would be perfect for a new seller or as reference guide for a seasoned seller. This is a must read for every Amazon seller!
​Amanda Moak
​A man that can write a full chapter about February gets much respect from me. Seriously though, I really enjoyed this innovative book idea. Full of great and timely tips. Specifically I found the bundle discussions great and the tip to not judge a yardsale from the curb. This is a great book if you want to even out your sales and not have a feast in December and famine in June. By using the tips you can be sure to have steadier sales all year long.
​Brian Vienneau
​​​The Resellers Guide to a Year in FBA should be required reading for every new FBA seller. The profits I could have made with Retail Arbitrage my first year with this guide would have been amazing. Here comes a list of reasons why I love this book and will be recommending it to anyone doing Amazon FBA. First, I love the detailed suggestions on how to use the book especially since no one learns the same way. I love how every month’s events are itemized giving sourcing suggestions for specific topics along with important dates and valuable resources. Did I mention I love this guide? New resellers will find this book will serve as a compliment to any FBA training and coaching they are receiving. Even though I have sold on Amazon as an FBA seller since the end of 2013 this book is going to be my new Amazon FBA Bible. With this guide I am finally going to be prepared to rock my Amazon sales.
