Jim decided to start a Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) business. I’ve been hearing about FBA since I started online in 2013. A few of my friends started by launching products off of their niche sites. (Jim Horner is from the starting from scratch case study.) http://nichesiteproject.com/2kgoal/

I sat down with Jim and we talked about his new project. I was surprised and wanted to hear about it. Jim knew seasonality would kick in for his first niche site and started a second site. The thing is I don’t really agree with his approach. http://nichesiteproject.com/when-to-scale-your-amazon-affiliate-niche-site-business/

It’s all about opportunity costs.

Is Starting an FBA Business a Mistake?

I’ll get right to it. Yes, it can be.

Conclusion

It’s not that the FBA business model is bad. It’s that working on too many things usually screws things up and you feel like you can never catch up with what you need to do. I know because I’ve done it many times. (Here is an example…http://nichesiteproject.com/failed-projects-1-expired-domain-case-study/) I’ll probably do it again even when I try to NOT do it.

On paper, it looks like maybe the FBA business could be more profitable in the long term. It’s impossible to say with any degree of certainty.

However, I do see that niche sites can be BIG revenue streams once they mature. Look at Rob or Dave. (http://nichesiteproject.com/success-story-rob-hits-15000-per-month-net-profit-using-the-niche-site-process-system/)
