Cheap college/high school books that sell well at the beginning of semesters are Romeo and Juliet, etc...especially ones that have some crib notes in them....like Shakespeare made easy. Students order them on Prime which pays you more and they put them on Daddy's credit card as well. Even when I couldn't sell anything else, all the cheap Shakespeare paperbacks always sold right away. I wish I had made that my entire business model.

If you are the kind of person who likes the thrill of the hunt for bargains, then by all means do as she does. However, you can actually sell FBA without ever touching your product AND sell in volume. You can have items sent straight from the factory directly to Amazon. More volume and higher profit margin as well. No label printing, no visiting UPS store, etc. An alternative, if you don't want to deal with a manufacturer, is having items sent straight from a wholesaler to Amazon. However, you do lose some of the profit since they get a cut. Even if you have to set up an LLC to accomplish it, that's something that can be done totally online AND set up in the choice State of Delaware even. It will cost you around $90 a year to pay for a registered agent there to represent your company. Actually simple to do. :)

That is not "drop shipping" it's still FBA. Drop shipping is when you list something on a sales platform without ever actually owning the item, then when you get an order for said Item (and paid), you turn around and buy/order it from a fulfillment source (as a customer) and put person you sold it to as the ship to address. Some people actually use amazon as source but they usually use AliExpress. Not a big fan of this, the margin of profit is often very slim, no room for error, upside is you don't need a lot a capital outlay. Some people use cash back credit cards and make an extra couple percent. Another tactic is to buy gift cards at a discount and use those to purchase with when you order. Like at Christmas when people get gift cards but want cash, another good source to get discount gift cards is off college kids. Parents think if they send kids gift cards instead of cash their kid won't blow the cash(party), not knowing kids sell cards for fraction of value to get cash to blow.Actually will work for any reselling business, buy cards at discount, use them to buy stuff to resale on ebay or wherever. Just be careful, stay armed and let it be known, Once word gets out you deal in cash..well ..bad things can happen. I didn't deal with a lot of different people, basically had one kid I dealt with. I gave him 50-75% of face value which left him some room to buy them from other kids, he was bringing me $100s worth per week. I got away from it though, now I've noticed gold/pawn shops have signs "cash for gift Cards". There are some online exchanges to buy/sell them but I haven't really checked into those much.

I wasn't sure which one to reply to so I'll make a new reply. I stopped Amazon FBA When changes were pretty consistent and frequent and I was working a full-time job, being an executor of an estate and my health issues were just starting to really coming to full play, so I just couldn't do it anymore. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to stay up on the changes and end up losing money instead of making money. I can absolutely understand why this would be great on the road and if I can ever get my health back together I would consider it again 👍

I think it's also important to let everyone know that you can't sell everything on Amazon. Some categories you have to be approved by Amazon to sell for example grocery items. There is a learning curve to FBA so please take the time to learn about how fast an item sells (programs like keepa or camelcamelcamel) otherwise you can be spending a lot of money on inventory that doesn't sell or doesn't sell fast enough.

The Amazon site you use in the store is really a scanning app on your phone. You scan the bar code (takes a picture) on the item and up comes all the info about the current selling price on Amazon, the ranking, how many of that item are listed, the fees and the net profit you will make. When preparing the item for shipping, you must cover the bar code with a new bar code from the listing. A black only small laser printer is about $99 at Office Max.

Someone commented that this is way to much and the return is better with a paycheck working 9-5 is better, I agree because you get to fight traffic, see the same people everyday and many you don’t like, you have to pay monthly rent/mortgage for a home you don’t get to enjoy (160 hrs work + another 240 hours you sleep, that’s if you sleep 8 hrs a night) , cut the grass, watch the same tv program, dictated to by a boss that showers you with so much “love” it hurts, and the list goes on. Lisa and the rest of you nomads you are missing out on the “normal” life. Why are wasting your time seeing different mountains, rivers, experiencing cultures of the states you visit. BORING! I would hate to be in your shoes. 😀

For anybody wondering about FBA: You can very easily create a FBA business much more easily than Lisa did. While that might be fun for some people, a much easier way is to buy bulk wholesale items from suppliers like Alibaba and ship them DIRECTLY to Amazon. For example, you could buy 100 iPhone cases for .50 each and sell them on Amazon for $6. Not having to handle the items yourself is a huge key to making wider margins on FBA. You can also open your own Shopify store and sell your wholesale inventory that way!

This is great info. I always wondered why more full timers don't do Amazon FBA but instead of treasure hunting, doing drop shipping with it like Arthur mentioned. (It is more money to invest at the beginning of course).That way you don't have to put items in your RV. So many ways to make money without keeping inventory. Shopify stores with printing items like the t shirts (printful). Of course it's that illusive Internet Connection you have to find also. :) Thanks to Lisa for all the details on FBA. I'm enjoying all your videos Robin.

I tried this out a year ago, and I know it as "retail arbitrage", but it was too hard for me. I think the thrift stores around me were wise to this, and they increased their prices to where I can't imagine making a x3 profit. I tried like 10+ thrift stores, spent 10+ hours looking around for niche items I was familiar with, but I could barely find any profitable items (found 1 that I never bothered to sell - 10 hours for 5 dollars?). It seems like this skill takes a little more knowledge than I have, and you have to be good with knowing prices/deals. Maybe it takes practice, and I learned about shipping and more, but this seemed like hard money to me. It can be fun to explore stores though.

I thought that part was confusing also. And it's being sold to Amazon Prime members. I would be very upset receiving used items when I order something. I've seen people do unboxings on KZbin and have seen some reviews where people receive used items and they could tell that it was used when they received them. Now I know where those items must have come from instead of coming from companies that have manufactured those items coming from people out shopping and sending them into Amazon.

so true Carol. I know several people that have tried eBay or Etsy and they lose money. I think that you really have to have a strict process to make this work. One thing Lisa did tell me is that in the beginning she made some purchases that didn't work out because she didn't do her research. Now she researches the order in depth in the store before making the purchase to make sure that Amazon has an appetite for it and that it has the right profit margin. I think you are smart for understanding the pros and cons and thank you for the comment. I wish you the best, happy travels!

Noreen N Is this taking into consideration greatly diminished muscle strength, flexibility, arthritis, varicose veins, bad knees, needing to pee frequently during night, etc? Are you old yourself & have been able to successfully RV yourself? I need to hear from someone who has experienced it. Thank you 👍😁🌻

I will be heading out at that age. I suggest you find an exercise program now to help like BodyBoss2 and yoga. Take CBD oil for your arthritis discomfort, however, movement helps that with join issues. Buy a composting toilet for your rig to help in that area - check out the videos from other people on youtube, lots of seniors. Do all your research now so you are ready to go and why so long - today is all you have, tomorrow is a mystery... so plan

Interesting - this answers the question of why you sometimes see comments on Amazon that an item they bought was dirty or missing something....always wondered about that. So, if you wanted to, how can you know on Amazon if you are potentially buying a thrift store find that could be used vs a new item from the manufacturer..are these sellers that Amazon calls “third party”?
@CherryKelln

Sellers should be noting that and items should only show up when you click to "Buy used for $x" via the Amazon product page.

I think I missed something: It's $40 a month to be part of Amazon FBA. Then she buys an item for $5. Then she pays to package, label, and ship. The she sells it om Amazon for $15. Then she says she makes $5 on it. I need a little clarification: Does that mean she makes her initial investment of $5 back PLUS a $5 profit? : Does Amazon take a cut of each sale or do they just make their money from the $40 a month fee? Interesting video. Thanks.

Hi Robin, Boy what a great video .Great information I am sure there are a lot of folks on the road that will be able to use .Wasn't aware how Amazon worked . I would think that someone not on the road could do the same thing to supplement their Social Security. Needed a pick me up today and was so glad to see you posted this, brightened my day as I love to watch your videos ,and I learned something along with it. Take care , be safe on the road and BE FREE!!

The idea is that Amazon charges market price, Lisa hints for the bargain. Just giving an option for those that want to make a living on the road-- not making judgements about people's shopping choices.

Actually I've changed my opinion, since i left my last comment!! My mother was a wiz with a pc etc and internet and so was my Grandmother, as waa needed in both their jobs. My Grandmother often referred to me as a Luddite!! Lol as i didn't like technology at all, and thought that if i had my way, we would all be living in mud huts... BUT recently I've discovered just HOW AMAZING the internet can be!!! I've realised, just like most things in life, it How We Use It !!! In fact it's the very people we are watching and discussing in this post, such as Robin and her rv pals. It has all lead me on an AMAZING NEW JOURNEY (Start of) and now I'm getting ready to have my own van and work through the internet. I also, through wanting to reasearch ready, have bought things via the internet and WOW it's actually GREAT !!! Really a Fantastic shopping experience wirh excellent customer service. Personally i think Robyn( please excuse me Robyn, if I've spelt your bame incorrectly, as i can't flick back to check the spelling or it will wipe my wroting off!! Lol) But as i was saying, i feel I've found an AMAZING group of people through RV, VAN LIFE AND INTERNET BUSINESS ADVICE and TRANSFORMATIONAL GURU'S for want of a better word!!!! Robyn lost family and do have i and there is Nothing that makes a person REALISE WHAT REALLY MATTERS THAN THAT !!!!!! Maybe that's one of the reasons they're such good soul's. Really Not Worth Sweating The Small Stuff and Knowing that Today Could Just Be Our Last. Be good and Kind and Laugh !!!!! Mimi

August 2, 2018: I'm glad this is helping you and your dogs! Ideally, it would be nice if you could spend more time with your dogs. Maybe there is a philanthropist, etc., out there in You Tube land who might be willing to pay you at least $20 per hour to work as a reading therapist with your dog as emotional support. You could 'pick and choose' which clients to work with to match your dog's limits (gentle). You could help people of all ages who can benefit from a friendly dog visit. CEO's should pay dog owners like you at least $100 per hour, to have planned, scheduled 'dog chats.' Many libraries have dogs helping children learn how to read. This is priceless, and will last a lifetime of reading every day, for each child involved. Priceless happy memories. Amazon should pay you a million for making this video. Please read Arthur Leslie below, he might save everyone a lot of time and money. Another idea: parents with calm but introverted children, might pay you, or at least allow you to park over night on their flat driveway, in exchange for you doing a 'meet and greet' with your dog, say at least one hour per day. Ideally, the child might want to cuddle with the dog while quietly reading, writing, math, art work. This might be an ideal arrangement for CEO women with 'nerdy' children.

You forgot to deduct the Amazon fees which can be from 20 to 35%. So you may not get to keep $5 as suggested.
