Your first task to complete in this Amazon FBA Canada course so you can get into the habit of taking action. Please introduce yourselves - let me know your name, where you are from and why you took this course.

In this video, I go over each item of what you will need to successfully complete this course and why you will need it to start seeing results from selling on Amazon FBA.

In this video, I encourage you to always ask questions if you are confused or don't understand something. This course is your go-to resource for all things related to selling on Amazon FBA in Canada so please make the most of your time here. I am grateful you chose me as your instructor and am always willing to help!

In this video, I will give you an Amazon FBA Canada course breakdown - an outline of how this course is going to work. I will be starting from the very beginning and will take you along each step in the process of how to sell on Amazon FBA.

What is Amazon FBA? This is a detailed explanation that will help you understand how the Amazon FBA system actually works.

Watch over my shoulder as I show you step by step how to create your very own Amazon Seller Account from scratch in this video. I also mention some things you should avoid doing to prevent your account from getting flagged.

In this video, I show how to connect your bank account to your Amazon Seller Account so you can get paid when you start selling on Amazon FBA.

In this video, I talk about how to contact Amazon Seller Support when you need help. My experience with Amazon Seller Support is that they are there to help you and they want you to succeed so don't be afraid to get in touch with them if you need to.

In this video, I show you where to go to download the Amazon Seller App, how to install it and how to link it up with your Amazon Seller Account dashboard.

This is how to use the Amazon Seller App to scan your items for FBA selling. In this video, I scan a couple of items using the Amazon Seller app to show you how easy it is to use and make decisions on which items are best to sell on Amazon for profits.

This video is your first checkpoint in this Amazon FBA Canada guide. Have you followed the steps so far by creating an Amazon Seller Account, linking to your bank account, downloading and setting up the Amazon Seller App?

In this video I talk about what you need to consider and some preparation tips before we go scanning to find profitable items for selling on Amazon FBA.

Here is a full of things to watch out for, to keep in mind when you are out scanning for items to sell on Amazon FBA Canada. I encourage you to write this stuff down so you can take this with you and refer to these tips when you are out scanning for profitable items to sell on Amazon FBA.

Come with me on a live shopping trip at Walmart! In this video, you can see what it looks like when you're in the store shopping for items to sell on Amazon and send to the fulfillment centers. I show you how I use the Amazon Seller app to discover items at Walmart that would be profitable to buy.

In this video, I go over all of the products for FBA selling that we purchased in store and I will show you the potential profits on each one.

Once you have your products for FBA selling, the next step is to ship them off to Amazon Canada fulfillment services. There are multiple Amazon Fulfillment Centers across Canada so you need to know which ones to send your products to. In this video, I show you the best way on how to create a shipping plan for your shipment of items.

Here I show you how to print the two different kinds of labels you'll need for FBA selling:

1) Your Amazon Shipping Label, which includes the address of the fulfillment center - this goes outside of the box you'll be shipping

2) Your Sticker Labels, which includes Amazon product barcodes - these stickers will go on the items themselves - the products you'll be shipping to Amazon Canada fulfillment services

In this video, I show you how to properly label the items you are selling on Amazon FBA with the sticker labels that you just printed out. This is so that Amazon can accurately identify your product when it arrives at the appropriate Amazon Fulfillment Center.

In this video, I'll show you exactly what packaging materials you will need for preparing your shipment. I also talk about how you can get your packaging materials for free or little cost, so you can reduce costs and not cut into your FBA selling profits.

Watch me as I show you how to prepare and package a shipment to Amazon Canada fulfillment services. We will go through how to place the items and how to properly secure the shipment so your Amazon FBA Canada products don't get damaged.

In this video, I will share which Canada Post Membership Card you should get to save you some extra money on your shipments. This is a free membership card that will allow you to keep more profits in your pocket. Sweeeet!

I literally take you with me as I go to Canada Post to ship off my box of items selling on Amazon FBA. I wanted to take you with me in this video to show you how simple and easy it is. The bulk of the work is done after this step - now just watch the money come in! :)

In this video, I will show you how and where you need to enter in your tracking info in your Amazon Seller Account dashboard. This is a step that should be done after you ship out your products to the Amazon Canada fulfillment services.

This video is your second checkpoint in this Amazon FBA Canada guide. Have you followed the steps so far by doing your shopping trip to find products, packaging your Amazon FBA shipment and sending it out?

In this video, I show you what happens when you make a sale from Amazon FBA Canada and how you get notified! This is the best part.

In this video, I share which stores to shop at for finding items to sell on Amazon FBA Canada. I give you my personal list of stores in Canada that I frequently shop at to buy profitable items for FBA selling.

You may have run into this before - you'll scan an item and the Amazon Seller App says "item not found". This means that the item does not exist in the Amazon.ca catalog, and so if you decide to purchase it, you'll need to create a new listing from scratch. In this video, I will discuss the pros and cons to listing a new item and I'll also show you exactly how to create this listing from scratch.

Here are my final thoughts about this Amazon FBA Canada course. Things work differently when you're selling on Amazon FBA in Canada. I wish I knew some of these FBA selling tips when I was first starting out, but I had trouble finding any useful resources for Canadians. I put a lot of work into creating this course for you and I am grateful that I get to teach you this stuff. Thank you so much for being my student!
