Selling Books on Amazon [Dan Morrill]

Many people want to work out a method on how to accomplish financial freedom, and while books might seem like a contradictory way of accomplishing financial freedom is a world where physical items are changing in favor of digital delivery, books are still popular. Books have been with us since we started recording information on clay tablets, and it is unlikely that the joy of holding a book in someone‘s hands is going to go away. There is always a compelling reason to own a book, that is a book‘s enduring quality and the reason why selling books can be profitable. 

Many people promise to help you make millions on the internet, and have the life style of the rich and famous. The good thing about pitches like this is that they are obviously too good to be true. The reality of selling books on line as an independent store is to know that you are only going to get out of this what you have the time and money to put into this. Realistically though, making money in selling books, or indeed anything, is not going to happen overnight for anyone, even with minimal work, there are still things you will need to do. Even if part time, there will be time spent on prepping, shipping, handling, buying, and selling books on Amazon. 

The good thing about selling on Amazon is that people still want books, with sales in the 14 Billion dollar range. there is plenty of room in the Amazon third party system for a new bookseller. The very real problem is getting set up, finding quality high rank books to sell, and engaging the customer. As an Amazon third party seller, you are using their system to sell you books. They have no obligation to you, yet there are major obligations that you owe them.
