How to start an Amazon FBA business in 2026

This is by far the only Amazon FBA video you need to watch. This is literally information that people charge $8,000 for. 99% of you guys won't watch this video, but for the 1% of you guys that actually make it through this video, you can build a profitable Amazon business in the next four to eight weeks. This is what allowed me to go from selling out of my house to shipping out thousands of units on pallets to Amazon every single month. In this complete guide, I'm going to tell you what business model to start with, how much money you need, how to set up an Amazon seller account, the tools that you're going to need. I'm going to cover ungating and different brands. How to find profitable inventory, but more importantly, how to read the analytics so that you understand if the product will actually sell. What business model to start with? Number one, let's cover what business model to even start with. If you guys are familiar with my content, you already know retail arbitrage is out the window. It is a garbage business model and if you're someone running into stores scanning products to find inventory, you are wasting your time. You will not build a long-term profitable Amazon business. The way you find your method of finding things to sell is you getting lucky scanning something and wasting hours out of store. You will not build a long-term profitable Amazon business. What you should be doing is starting with online arbitrage. Sitting down at a computer or a laptop, understanding how to find inventory, understanding how to read analytics so that you don't waste money when buying inventory. When you master that skill, you will make 10 times more money than any person running to a store. Later on down the line, when you're at 50, 100, 150, $100,000 a month, you can consider transitioning into wholesale, but I don't recommend you start with wholesale from the start. How much money needed to start? Everybody's favorite question. You cannot start selling on Amazon with less than $100 or less than $500. That is a fallacy. It's the quickest way to actually lose your money. I'll tell you the absolute bare minimum, $1,000 bucks, but even that's pushing it. I would say $2,000 to $3,000 is a great start. That will cover supplies that you need. Tools. How to set up seller account? So how do we actually set up the Amazon account? First thing you want to do is go on bizzy.com to set up your LLC and get your EIN number. I always recommend anybody getting into Amazon, set this up first because it's easier to go into Amazon with all this information rather than applying all that information on the back end. You do not need an LLC to start Amazon, but eventually, if you plan on making money, you probably want to have an LLC on your account. Once you have the LLC and EIN information, you want to run to any bank of your choice and open up a business bank account. Once you have all that information, you want to head over to sellercentral.amazon.com and create your account. This is a very straightforward process. You're going to put in all the information from the previous steps. And then of course, you're going to show who you are and your identity. And then from there, it's going to take a couple days for them to verify you and then boom, you have the account open and you're good to go. Which brings us to step number four, what tools do you actually need? We use Seller Amp and Keepa. Seller Amp is a profit calculator. You plug in how much you're buying a product for, it will tell you exactly what you will make after all expenses and fees. How many people are on the listing, how the competition is, and if it even makes sense for you to buy the product and actually get sales. You cannot sell on Amazon without Seller Amp. But eventually, if everything checks out of what I'm about to talk about, you can have the account open. Part 2 in comment Section!!
