Work From Home: The Amazon FBA MasterPlan (Udemy.com)

Build an online business fast and easily selling ridiculously simple products on Amazon

Created by: Tim Godfrey

Last updated January 2021

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,723 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2021. No course pays to be reviewed.

Tim Godfrey's course is a 4.7 hour tour of the Amazon private label process. It runs through 42 lectures: finding a product, contacting suppliers, building a brand and packaging, ordering inventory, making a listing, and driving traffic. Most lessons are short, and reviewers say the real substance sits in the downloadable PDF manuals. It is pitched at beginners, though one reviewer who already knew Amazon selling still found the brand building strategies useful. The sales copy promises a lot, so treat it as an overview, not a full business plan.

About 82 percent of the 2,723 ratings are four or five stars. Students like the notes on almost every topic, the brand building ideas, and the Q4 launch bonus. Reviewers say the instructor speaks clearly and draws on real experience. The complaints are consistent, though. Some links are dead, some websites have changed, the microphone audio is poor, and the product research section feels behind modern tools. One person disliked the amount of Facebook marketing, and another says support took over four days to reply.

The last update was January 2021, so expect some drift. The syllabus has no quizzes or exercises, and one reviewer says it can read like a theory course if you lack business sense. Another expected to need very little startup capital and was surprised. With 136,576 students, it is clearly popular as a first look. Use it as a primer, then check current research tools before you order any inventory.

Best forBeginners who want a quick, PDF-heavy overview of the Amazon private label process before spending real money.
Skip it ifYou want current product research tools or a deep, hands-on build with fresh examples.

Pros

  • Downloadable PDF notes for almost every topic, so there is something to keep and reuse
  • Covers the whole path from product research and suppliers to branding, listing and traffic
  • Reviewers like the brand building ideas and the Q4 launch bonus lecture
  • Short 4.7 hour runtime that a beginner can finish in a weekend

Cons

  • Dead links and changed websites, and the last update was January 2021
  • Poor microphone audio, and lectures mostly walk through the PDFs
  • Product research section lags current tools, and there are no quizzes or exercises
Rich in content! I like that He provided for notes for almost every topic. Definitely recommended for people wanting to know more about selling on Amazon.

Suits beginners with basic web and Excel skills. One reviewer says some business sense helps.

Course Description

"My Private MasterPlan Takes Selling Physical Products On Amazon Into An Entirely Different Dimension!"

  • Already Selling On Amazon? I'll show you how to boost your rankings traffic and sales literally OVERNIGHT.
  • Not Selling on Amazon? I'll show you how to quickly build a massively profitable Amazon business following a fine-tuned roadmap containing EVERYTHING you need to know!

"Every last detail of building a huge physical product business on Amazon is covered... from product research... to supplier search and inventory ordering, marketing and promotion, packaging and premium branding... list building, external traffic sources and much much more..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the past 9 years I've done dropshipping, Forex, MLM, Adsense, affiliate marketing, apps, selling Clickbank products (both as a vendor and affiliate) and that's just a start.

You name it. I've likely done it.

I've had some big successes, such as:

  • Building two 6-figure/year health businesses selling products on Amazon.
  • One 7-figure per year software business.
  • 3 successful apps, two in the health market, one in the gaming market.

I even once bought a one word dictionary .com domain name for $32,000 in cash and sold it 15 days later for $125,000 (making almost $100K in profit for doing NO work whatsoever).

Other good things have happened too.

So yes, some of my ventures have worked out well.

The journey, however, has not always been easy...

I've also had my fair share of disasters, some of which have been truly COLOSSAL.

For instance:

I wasted 2 years of my life (along with $150K cash) on a project that fell at the FINAL hurdle, when just before launching, Apple brought out an exact version of the app I was building, available for free and as default on iOS 7.

and:

A few years back, I bought a one word .com finance related domain name for $64,000, invested an additional $60K in development and SEO, spent 18 months getting onto the first page of Google US for the term 'credit cards', did so successfully, started making around $1000 in commissions per day...

...and then BAM! Google's Penguin update hit the site literally 7 days after I got there, obliterating the rankings and causing the business to die overnight.

Ouch... (x 2)

I've had other disasters too, but the above are particularly depressing examples!

The point of me telling you all this is that due to the successes I've had, along with the (frankly unwanted) opportunities to learn from my failures, I have been able to develop a complete understanding of the following when it comes to making money online:

What NEVER works

What SOMETIMES works

What ALWAYS works

...And most importantly, which online business types and markets are realistic to compete in, but are still scalable into 6, 7 or even 8 figure operations that would continue to be manageable working from home.

One of those business types is SELLING ON AMAZON.

...and I'm here to help you take selling on Amazon into a WHOLE New Dimension.

There are many courses out there on building Amazon businesses... some cheap, some hugely expensive, but this is different.

My Amazon MasterPlan contains ALL the information you need.

But... why should it matter to you?

Well, let me ask...

  • Are you already selling on Amazon?
  • or looking for a way to make a great living online?
  • or do you want to add a bow to an existing online business?
  • Maybe you have an eCommerce or dropshipping website?

If any of the above apply, my Amazon Masterplan MATTERS.

Not only does it consist of EVERYTHING you need to know about how to make money selling physical products on Amazon...

...it shows you how to capitalize on the exposure that Amazon can bring, enabling you to expand and build out into additional platforms quickly,

creating high value (and if you wish, sellable) brands, as well as multiple income streams ...in a very short period of time.

And one thing I must add...

The great thing about Amazon is this:

The Traffic and Buyers Are ALREADY There.

You don't need to grind to get them...

You simply need to get in front of them.

In other words...

X - You don't need to do traditional SEO

X - You don't need to do link building

X - You don't need to pay sky high costs for Google ads

...and you don't need that whole list of other time consuming and frustrating stuff either.

There is, however, one important thing to remember....and this is relevant no matter what type of business you are in or want to pursue...

The success (or failure) of any business is usually down to one thing: EXECUTION

Take it from me...Good ideas and effort are simply NOT enough.

In my view most people fail to make a living online, not because of lack of effort, but because they don't know how to execute their plan properly. (which mostly tends to be unstructured, if there is a plan at all).

And even those who have done it all before and know how to run and scale a business, STILL need a structured plan in place in order for their execution to be efficient, seamless and successful.

And that is exactly what this course is...

It is the private Masterplan originally for MY use, *remastered* for YOUR use...

...with NOTHING left out.

It really is everything you need to know about making money on Amazon and beyond, condensed into detailed manuals and videos with, zero-fluff, direct to the point step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow.

However, you genuinely have to be prepared...

It is BRUTALLY comprehensive and not for the faint hearted.

It is a full-on A – Z, militarily precise course.

No waffle. No filler. No BS.

Even if you have no experience selling on Amazon, or indeed any experience doing anything at all online, that is A-ok.

...Because this course is so step-by-step and uber-focused, all you need to have is the ability to follow very clear instructions.

I already had much knowledge of selling on Amazon, but still, I was amazed by the brand building strategies that this course taught. Also, the bonus lecture of Q4 launch strategy in 2020 had its own level. One thing that I think could be improved in this course is product research section. Product research is now on a next level with the introduction of tools that tell you the sales histories of products, review velocities, and much more.

great, thank you

By Bree o on 10/8/2020

I've taken some courses here on Udemy but this is the only one that I personally found to be difficult to navigate in terms of comprehending the material and putting it into practice. This is actually my 2nd time attempting to go through this course and I find myself at the same place where the information is a bit too overwhelming and not as straightforward as I would like, hence my review. it's solely based on my very own personal experience with the course

By Waqas Ejaz on 10/6/2020

Its a very nice course with a good resource.
