Archive : Stephen Smotherman – The Reseller’s Guide to A Year in FBA
Have you ever pondered what it would be like to be prepared for anything in your Amazon business? Do you ever feel annoyed because you constantly appear to be a few steps behind other Amazon sellers? If you want to be prepared at all times, this book is for you.
The Issue
I became increasingly irritated with my Amazon FBA business a few years ago. Before I even thought about sourcing for the impending holiday, I frequently heard on internet forums that other Amazon merchants were already making Christmas-related deals. Not only that, but I almost was charged a huge long-term storage fee, got trapped in an extremely poor sales drought throughout the summer, and wasn’t properly prepared for Q4. I realized I was passing up a lot of lucrative possibilities because I wasn’t prepared.
The Solution and the Outcomes
I resolved that I would not be left behind again. I promised myself that for the following year, I would diligently investigate and document every single chance to save or make money on Amazon. This small study endeavor of mine grew to be nearly 160 pages long. I was eventually able to reach six figures in sales for the year by following everything in my own Year in FBA guide. I was able to increase my business by 50% per year for the next two years. This book is updated every year, and it now contains over 225 pages of incredibly essential and relevant material.
What You Should Expect
The Reseller’s Guide to A Year in FBA is a month-by-month guide that will help you be adequately prepared for everything you need to do (and avoid doing) in order to save money and optimize earnings. Each month of the year is represented by a chapter in the book. From January through December, I’ll coach you through everything from critical deadlines to what products to source and holidays to plan for, as well as bargains to take advantage of and tools to help you become an expert in many various facets of online reselling.
Training Videos for Each Month
Each month of the year has its own hour-long training video that is included as an add-on to the Year in FBA book. During these content-rich training videos, I’ll go over exactly what I’m doing and what I believe you should be doing to make the most of your time and cash for each month. I’ll go through what to plan for, what sourcing options are available, and what you should avoid doing that month. Because these training videos were filmed live, I opened things up to some Q&A at the end of each training session, answering questions based on what was going on in the Amazon FBA market that month. Each month, you’ll receive over 12 hours of video instruction, averaging an hour of useful and lucrative information.
Every year, it is updated!
Every year, The Reseller’s Guide to A Year in FBA is updated to assist you prepare for everything the year has to offer. The book now includes over 225 pages. From January to December, The Reseller’s Guide to a Year in FBA will assist you in making this year your finest yet.

How much is being prepared worth to you?
The Reseller’s Guide to a Year in FBA is currently a one time charge of only $117 – that averages out to only $9.75 a month for a full year’s worth of valuable information, plus 12 monthly training videos and 4 bonuses! The guide is over 225 pages filled with everything I know about how to make the most of each and every month. Plus, when you get the book, you’ll be automatically enrolled into the lifetime ownership program. This means that every time we update the book (usually once a year), you’ll get the updates for free. Not only that, but I offer a 60-day 100% refund policy… so you have nothing to lose.
BONUS
Bonus Material – Not only do you get the 225-page Year in FBA ebook and monthly training videos, but you also get these 4 valuable bonuses at no extra charge.

I’ll walk you through how we use this area to keep everything organized so we don’t miss out on any opportunities to grow our Amazon FBA business.
