FBA Academy Review

What is the FBA Academy?

The FBA Academy is David Zalenski’s Amazon private label training course and a part of EcomHub. The best feature of this FBA course is product validation. David’s team will look into your product idea and let you know if it’s the right path to take. This is incredibly valuable, especially for a beginner. You will also learn EcomHub’s trademarked Rank and Bank system, which teaches you how to launch a product and rank it to the front page of Amazon.

The training includes 7 hours of videos spread across 20 modules. Purchase of the course gets you lifetime access. Bonus materials include spreadsheets, templates, and David’s copyrighted strategy for creating paid traffic- the PPC Spyder Launch. You’ll also get 3 live coaching calls per week with the team/David, and access to a private Facebook group for the rest of your life.

Who is David Zaleski, Creator of FBA Academy?

David Zaleski is a 7-figure ecommerce seller who built a $5 million Amazon business in 5 years with only $4800 of Amazon start-up costs .

David started selling products online just before high school when he was 14. He flipped Alibaba products on eBay. 4 years later, at 18, he started his first Amazon business. Within 6 years, David grew that business to $9 million in sales.

Besides selling on Amazon, David had a podcast and YouTube channel. He has not updated either of these outlets lately. Currently, he is developing EcomHub into an Amazon “studio” where any level of Amazon seller can come for specific services. He also closely runs his Amazon automation agency, the FBA Academy Done-For-You program, closely with this private label course.

The FBA Academy Business Model: What is Amazon Private Label?

Amazon private label involves ordering a generic, brandless product and putting your own logo on it. You may add other variations to stand out from competitors, like upgrades, color options, or bundled products. Then, Amazon handles the shipping and handling and takes a cut off your profits. Therefore, it is one of the most expensive Amazon FBA business models to start. Besides FBA fees, you will also have to pay for brand and logo design, sourcing products, testing products, and running Amazon PPC campaigns to drive traffic.

But, private label also has higher profit margins- often up to 40%. Other business models, like Amazon dropshipping , have much smaller margins around 10-30%.

If you decide to follow an Amazon FBA private label business model, plan to spend $15K-$20K in startup costs alone, besides any course you decide to take.

What is the Difference Between Amazon FBA and Amazon Dropshipping?

With Amazon FBA private label, you sell your own products. But, Amazon dropshipping involves selling other brands’ products in your store. It’s also FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant). This means your supplier ships the product directly to the customer instead of an Amazon warehouse. You can also dropship off of Amazon, using other platforms like Shopify and/or eBay. Amazon dropshipping has the lowest of all Amazon business model profit margins- between 10-30%, while private label earns around 40%.

When Does the FBA Academy Start and Finish?

The FBA Academy is self-paced and starts at the time of your purchase. You have lifetime access to all its features, including weekly coach support calls, and can revisit course content.

20: Coaching Calls David’s coaching team downloads weekly coaching calls. They’re updated each week, and you can go back and watch them in this module.

Summary

Its’ essential to find valid reviews of a course away from its salespage. There are not many reviews of this FBA course online outside of David’s website. There are a number of professionally handled complaints listed on the BBB website, which look impressive at first. However, after reviewing the messages, they may not be real. Each complaint uses very similar wording, which makes me wonder where they came from.

Is FBA Academy a Scam?

No, David Zaleski’s FBA Academy is not a scam. You will learn his unique system for ranking your private label product, and have the peace of mind of product validation.

Some people believe that expensive courses (and coaches) are scams just because of their higher ticket price. They say that you can find the same information for free on YouTube. While you can find great information there, without a course, you will miss out on some amazing benefits. For instance, paid courses include extra services, ongoing coaching, active communities of like-minded people, and more. Plus, you will learn from the mistakes others have made, and be able to work through a structured course rather than sift through a disorganized heap of YouTube videos.

“Koronavirüse Çare Buldum” Dedi, Lise Mezunu Çıktı: Mucit Görünümlü Dolandırıcılık Davası!

Dolandırıcılık davası açıldı! 'Koronavirüse çare buldum' dedi, lise mezunu çıktı. Elinde 800 milyon lira değerinde 422 ilaç patenti bulunduğunu ve koronavirüse karşı ilaç geliştirdiğini öne süren Erdal Can Alkoçlar’a dolandırıcılık suçlaması ile dava açıldı.

Türkiye, bir dönemin “mucit” olarak lanse edilen ismi Erdal Can Alkoçlar’ın yargılandığı şaşırtıcı bir dava ile çalkalanıyor. Alkoçlar, pandeminin en karanlık günlerinde koronavirüse karşı ilaç geliştirdiğini öne sürdü, 422 adet ilaç patenti olduğunu ve bu buluşların toplam değerinin 800 milyon TL’yi aştığını iddia etti. Ancak gerçekler çok daha farklı çıktı.

⚖️ İstanbul’da Dolandırıcılık Davası Açıldı Savcılık tarafından hazırlanan iddianamede, Alkoçlar hakkında “nitelikli dolandırıcılık” suçlamasıyla 1 yıldan 5 yıla kadar hapis cezası istendi. İstanbul 17. Asliye Ceza Mahkemesi’nde görülecek olan davada, Alkoçlar’ın yüksek kira bedeliyle lüks bir daire kiraladığı ancak ödemediği ve kendisini profesör, mucit gibi sıfatlarla tanıttığı belirtildi.

🎓 Eğitim Durumu: Harvard Değil, Lise Mezunu Alkoçlar, kendisini bilim insanı ve “ilaç mucidi” olarak tanıtmış olsa da, yapılan araştırmalarda yalnızca lise mezunu olduğu ortaya çıktı. “Harvard mezunu” olduğu yönündeki söylemlerin gerçeği yansıtmadığı, kamuoyunu ve potansiyel yatırımcıları bu şekilde yanılttığı iddialar arasında.

🧬 Patentler Gerçek Mi? Kamuoyunun merak ettiği en önemli sorulardan biri: "Gerçekten 422 ilaç patenti var mı?" İddianamede, patentlerin bilimsel geçerliliği ya da uluslararası onaylı olup olmadığına dair ciddi şüpheler olduğu vurgulanıyor. İlaçların herhangi bir klinik testten geçip geçmediği de belirsiz.

🧑‍⚖️ Ne Diyor Avukatları? Alkoçlar’ın avukatı ise tüm suçlamaları reddediyor. İddiaların gerçeği yansıtmadığını, olayın bir dolandırıcılık değil, tamamen hukuki bir ihtilaf olduğunu ve müvekkilinin hedef alındığını savunuyor. Dava sürecinde “iftira” davası açılabileceği de belirtiliyor.

📌 Kamuoyunun Tepkisi: Gerçek Mucit mi, Sahte Kahraman mı? Bir kesim, Alkoçlar’ın Türkiye’deki AR-GE ve buluş kültürüne katkı sağladığını savunuyor.

Bir diğer kesim ise, pandemi korkusunu fırsata çeviren bir dolandırıcılık vakası ile karşı karşıya olunduğunu düşünüyor.

🔍 Süreç Ne Olacak? Mahkeme, iddiaları ve savunmaları deliller ışığında değerlendirecek. Ödemesi yapılmayan kira sözleşmeleri, patent belgeleri, akademik unvan iddiaları ve kamuoyuna yönelik açıklamalar incelemeye alınacak. İlk duruşmanın ardından sürecin nasıl ilerleyeceği netlik kazanacak.

Woman charged with sending city lawyer death threat SMS

A woman was on Monday charged with threatening to kill a city lawyer in a text message.

Ms Zainabu Hussein is accused of telling Mr Ishmael Tinega Nyaribo that she would kill him.

According to the charge sheet, she allegedly committed the offence at an unknown place on May 2, 2019.

Prosecution said the message was sent from Ms Hussein’s phone number to Mr Nyaribo’s phone number.

“You willfully and without reasonable excuse sent a threatening message to one Ishmael Tinega Nyaribo,” the charge stated.

She denied the charge before Milimani Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku and pleaded to be released on bail, indicating that she is willing to reconcile with the lawyer.

“The accused is willing to seek reconciliation with the complainant and is therefore asking to be released on reasonable cash bail,” a lawyer told the court.

The magistrate noted that the prosecution did not oppose the application and released her on Sh100,000 cash bail.

The case will be heard on June 6 this year.
