The Opportunity Ep.8: How to Launch Your Way into a Million Dollars in FBA Sales

In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, we will be speaking with Rick Baxter, an Amazon FBA and Amazon Merch buyer who owns a diverse portfolio of online businesses.

Rick got his start in entrepreneurship in the brick and mortar world and was looking for location-independent opportunities that built off his skillsets. He stumbled into the online space and felt like he could jump in knowing he’d be trained by the seller. He found an FBA business that ended up being a gem – it had the right problems he knew how to fix and had a great seller willing to train him properly. With the help of the seller, he went from excitement over making $500 in sales a day to getting comfortable with an average of $4-5K a day. Rick reaped his ROI in six months and this year he will cross a million in sales – something he never anticipated when he got started.

As Rick’s grown into his FBA expertise he’s learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. He shares the importance of just getting started when launching products, letting the market give you the feedback you need on what works, and how to have a team of VA’s do most of the work on your business. He also shares his journey in buying an Amazon Merch business and how he’s integrated that asset into his portfolio.

Sit back, grab a coffee, and get ready to discover how you can “just launch” your way to a million dollars in sales.
