Introduction

Before I tell you about you can easily build a five-figure monthly (over
$10,000-$20,000 a month) business on Amazon I need to tell you a bit
about myself so that you know…and trust that what I am about to tell you
in this book has the potential to change your world forever.

First and foremost, thank you for buying this book – I can guarantee you
that you will enjoy it and get a tremendous amount of value from it.

This book truly has the power to change your life, starting right now.

Why, because it is not full of hype and not full of junk info that you cannot
take action with immediately. This book will give you everything that you
need to know to begin to create a real and sustainable business on
Amazon.

It is full of information that you can start to implement right now to begin
the journey to creating a real online business and long-term wealth for
yourself.

I view this as the beginning of a relationship that you and I are starting.
To put it bluntly – I really want to help you make money (and, I am willing
to show you how to do it – if you will let me).
My Background
In 2000, I started an online automotive parts company. This is a business
that I created from scratch from the ground up. I ultimately sold this
company in 2009 (more on this later).

In the 14 years that I owned and ran my online company we sold over
$100 Million in products via just about every channel imaginable on the
Internet. We sold directly via over 14 websites, we had 2 different
branded eBay stores, we sold via Amazon (we sold our Private Labeled
Products and we sold auto parts retail as well), and we sold via other
channels such as Overstock.com as well.

I started my online company specifically to sell automotive trailer hitches
(yes, you read that right – I said trailer hitches).

For those of you not familiar with what a trailer hitch is – it is the huge
piece of steel underneath the back of your vehicle that you would use to
haul a trailer, haul boats, etc.

And, if you bought a trailer hitch between the years 2000 – 2009 here in
the United States, and if you bought that trailer hitch via the Internet then
the odds are over 85% that you bought it from me through one of my
websites, or one of the other channels we sold through.

I do not say this to brag, only to give you some perspective into how
something that can start relatively small can grow into something beyond
even your wildest dreams.

And, isn’t that really the point? We all want to own our own business. We
all want financial stability in our lives. We all want to be our own bosses
and be in charge of our own lives – don’t we? If you answered yes, then
you are in the right place and you need to keep reading.

I owned this business with my father. We started the business out of a
retail Truck Accessories / Trailer Hitch Installation shop in Charlotte, North
Carolina. The name of the retail business was A & B Truck And Trailer (we
sold it in early 2001 so I do not know if it is still in business).
When we launched our first website in 2000 to sell trailer hitches our
original goal was to sell only 9 hitches a day.

We had figured that if we sold this many per month then we would
generate an extra $45,000+ a month in sales and a large percentage of
that would be pure profit. This profit margin would help us grow all of our
businesses.

In fact, funny story – my dad set up his computer to “ding” every time we
got an email telling us we had a new order.

At the time, we were working out of a space that was about 10 x 10 feet
wide (it had both of our desks in that space so were wedged in there to
say the least). This working space was a small shed that was out in back
of our retail business.

And, it quickly got to the point that the “dinging” from my dad’s computer
got real obnoxious and we had to turn off the “ding” sound because we
could not get anything done because his computer was making too much
noise.

One day we just looked at each other and we “knew” - we knew we were
going to be successful. We had passed our goal of selling only 9 hitches a
day so quickly we were both shocked.

We knew we were on to something with this new Internet business we had
started. We started to make plans to expand the online business.

In the next 6-8 months we sold the retail stores and we focused solely on
the online business.

By the end of 2000 & the beginning of 2001, we were easily selling over
100 hitches and trailer hitch accessories each and every day.

We were growing exponentially. We moved offices twice in the next few
years. We quickly passed $1, $2, $3, and even $5 million in sales.

By 2003 and 2004 we were shipping over 300-400 hitches and other auto
parts each and every day. We were growing by leaps and bounds.
I spent time focusing on how I could improve our operations by putting in
customer service systems and shipping systems so that we could stay on
top of all of the orders that were coming in via our websites.

We also scaled our business by branding our sites. We had over 5 sites
that were branded differently depending on what type of trailer hitch
somebody wanted to buy. If they wanted a Draw-Tite hitch or Reese
trailer hitch we sent them to sites that were branded as such.

This was one of our websites:

We also scaled our business by moving into new and different lines of
automotive parts. We ultimately ended up selling brake parts and brake
pads, bike racks, car alarms, truck accessories, RV towing products, cargo
carriers, car side mirrors and a whole bunch of other automotive related
products.
In 2005 we moved the entire operation to Texas to be closer to our biggest
supplier. We did this to improve our shipping times to our customers and
improve the overall buying experience that our customers had with us.

Doing just this dramatically and positively impacted our business – the
orders flooded in even more.

When we moved into our new facility we moved into a 14,000 square foot
full-service customer-oriented warehouse. We put in a huge call center to
work with all of our customers with a high-end phone system to handle all
of the calls we were getting. We started stocking even more inventory so
that we could ship all of our orders even faster.

The picture above was taken in our call center – I believe this picture was
taken at a birthday party that my staff threw for me (I am the guy in the
blue shirt).
You can see that the call center was rather large. We had seating to
handle up to 50 customer service representatives at any one time.

We were a seasonal business – so, we scaled the business up and down
with the seasons. Spring and summer was our busiest season and fall and
winter were our slowest seasons for sales.

When we were at our biggest we had over 45 employees.

The picture above is what a fairly normal shipping day looked like for us.

These are orders getting ready to be packaged and ship in our warehouse.

Actually, those are brake parts (we expanded into braking systems as
well). You can see hitches on the ground in the background getting ready
to be boxed up and shipped out.
