AmazonFba was kind of successful to a degree, issue was the price point in that particular niche was just to small so advertising ate up a lot of profits.


Good suggestion and point here. I am currently looking into becoming a subject matter expert on a particular topic of interest, as of now, I feel like I'm not on any topic. Rather I know a little bit about various topics.


Any resource suggestions that I can look at?


Well here's how I did it.

Read everything on r/getdisciplined sorted by top all time. There are some good posts in there like No More Zero Days.

Read Atomic Habits. Great book about discipline.

And don't just read these resources, you have to apply them as well.


Thanks this is a valid point, ill try this out!


Love it, thanks for sharing!


Wow, had a feeling something was coming down the pipeline. Didn't they submit some legal challenge about being closed due to covid?


Thanks for your response here, I like the quick launches of products, however, my coding skills are a hinderance here as im still learning. I understand your point however. I like the community advice, however I feel like this step takes time, the very things we are trying to cut out. Perhaps, by choosing a specific niche and always tailoring products around that niche may help build the community faster than switching niches often.


First off thanks for your post, its been a great read and very helpful.

Most important the lessons learned you shared are great and I hope you don't mind i've made a copy to reference as the going gets tough.


I think time is the one thing I definitely disregard. Disregard in the sense I move too quickly, its just how my brain operates. Learn, push things out, rinse and repeat. That's typically my approach to things. I am going to try and slow down, let things marinate and see what happens.


Thanks for the quote! Definitely resonates.
