Recommended Resources

recommended online business tools

I promise not to be stingy… when it comes to recommending the best tools – resources – free information for your Amazon Business

I have been frustrated over the years with “over hyped – non-essential – make everything simple” tools.

I think I’ve purchased most of them… and have been disappointed with most.

Time tested  tools – software – and applications are the best. Stay away from the hype and stick with solid – well known companies that provide excellent customer service and a fair product for a fair price.

Plus – I’ve been scouring the web for free information and low-cost memberships. I’m sharing the one’s I’m involved in right now.

These are just some of my favorites:

Forums

FBA Forum – Chris Greens (The FBA Power Guy) Forum – sharing info on Amazon FBA and also lot’s of help for FBA Scout and FBA Power users (like me).

Thrift Shopper Forum – I use this forum to learn more about coupons for FBA products.

Amazon’s FBA Forum – Amazon Seller Community – lot’s of good info and FAQ’s

ToySellersFBA – I just joined this group – 9/15/2011  They are a feisty group and very protective (so far – this is what I’m seeing)… but it’s free to join so I’m going to spend some time checking out “how they share” and “how they treat newbies”.

FBAFinds.com – This is a paid membership – the Forum is why I stay! I’ve found some really good deals to purchase through this forum… but the “insight” you get from Jordan (who is a Amazon Top Seller) is priceless.
