Make Money With Amazon Marketplace

If you're looking to start a business from home then you don't need to look any further that Amazon. That's right, the world's favourite ecommerce store can help you make money as well as spend it. How? Through the Amazon Marketplace.

The Amazon Marketplace allows individuals and businesses of all sizes to sell their products alongside Amazon's own. Sellers thus get the benefit of being able to put their products in front of millions of potential customers without ever having to build their own website.

Sounds too good to be true? Actually it isn't. Amazon is a legitimate company that really does let you use their site to make money. The only difficulty is finding quality products that are cheap enough to let you undercut the competition whilst still making a tidy profit yourself.

There are literally thousands of wholesale suppliers out there, claiming to offer products at heavy discounts. Unfortunately, when you take into account shipping costs, the vast majority of them turn out to actually be more expensive than Amazon (and certainly more expensive than some of the other sellers on the Amazon marketplace). They sound good, they make big promises, but the figures don't add up.

I spent weeks searching and testing dozens of wholesalers. Most of the ones I came across were out and out scams; the ones that weren't didn't discount the products enough or charged a fortune for shipping. Finally, however, I came across one that actually seems to be working.

Wholesale-Portal is a wholesale solution with a difference: it actually works. When you sign up, you gain access to a high quality directory of branded goods that you can then sell on for a profit on Amazon (or eBay or your own website for that matter). You don't even need to carry stock. Simply pass your customer's details on to the wholesaler and they will ship the product direct.

Signing up also gives you access to some informative training videos, which really helped me to start out as an entrepreneur. I had very little business knowledge when I started, but with wholesale-portal there to hold my hand I actually managed to make a decent amount of money. It's unlikely to turn you into the next Richard Branson overnight, but it can definitely give you the tools you need to set up your own business that more than pays the bills. The sense of autonomy you get from being your own boss is great too. Highly recommended.
