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.

Why Is The Police Allowing Itself To Be Used As An Instrument For The Rich & Powerful To Stifle Free Speech? Free Speech Is Enshrined In Article 10 of Federal Constitution!

It seems of late police officers are busy running around to wantonly investigate mere allegations of criminal defamation by a complaint. It must be noted that the complainant has the absolutely right to file a defamation suit in the civil court if he or she thinks that he/she had been defamed by articles in socmed. They knew too well that if they were to file defamation suit, their complaints will be fully ventilated in the court and will be reported in the press, which they are scared of.

It would appear from the current trend that the rich and powerful are hiding behind the mere allegations of “Criminal Defamation” as a form to intimidate the writer to stop writing about them. More importantly to stifle Freedom of Speech and Expression, which are guaranteed under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia.

In Mid May 2023 Elizabeth Ken, The So-Called Media Specialist Of Redberry Media, An Outfit of The Corporate Genius, Siew Ka Wei, Lodged A Report Against Me For Criminal Defamation & The Police Acted In Lighting Speed But When I Lodged A Report Against Elizabeth Ken in May 2023 Until This Date The police Had Not Recorded My Statement!

Background (TM) and his media “specialist” Elizabeth Ken Tzu Ying (Elizabeth ken) who were involved in the scandalous deal involving public fund of RM99.693 million known as the scandalous “Geeko deal”. Elizabeth Ken was the key player in Geeko Tech Sdn Bhd (Geeko) and Tourism Malaysia (under Siew Ka Wei watch) awarded the RM99.683 million contract to Geeko purportedly with the involvement.

Geeko Tech Was A Tencent’s Special Purpose Vehicle When the scandal broke out in June 2018, the corporate genius Siew Ka Wei issued a press statement, Tencent had specifically chosen Geeko, which was a newly incorporated company of a 4 month old headed by Elizabeth Ken, as its Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)! Of course, no announcement of any kind from Tencent about the so-called SPV! Later you will discover that there was another deal from BXC Traveller headed by Elizabeth Ken and Datuk Emil Rinaldi Sjaiful also using Tencent as a bait to sell a project to MAHB.

THE SCANDALOUS GEEKO DEAL WAS NEGOTIATED AND SEALED IN ONE DAY 4 APRIL 2018 The said scandalous Geeko Deal was evaluated by Tourism Malaysia, negotiated and letter of intent was issued by the then DG go TM Datuk Mirza Mohamad Taiyap to Geeko and the contract was prepared and executed in ONE DAY! This little Napoleon in TM can be very efficient when there was a need for it. Of course, Elizabeth Ken representing Geeko reply to accept the offer also on the same day too (4 April 2018)!

Some 21 days later (after 4 April) 2018, TM approved RM11,963 million to Geeko for the so-called work done according to the so-called media plan. Don’t you agree that TM can be extremely efficient when it involved “Special Payment”!.

The summary of the whole Scandalous Geek Deal can be read here: https://weechookeong.com/2018/05/31/summary-of-tourism-msias-rm99-693-million-speedy-gonzales-geeko-deal/

After May 2018 the scandalous Geeko Deal was exposed extensively in my blog and it was the talk of the town in the tourism industry, government and corporate circle.

At Least Two Known Key Players In The Approval Of Geeko Deal Are Still In TM Unfortunately a few key players involved in facilitating the scandalous Geeko Deal are still in TM today and holding high position too! Their names have been mentioned in many articles in my blog.

MACC/SPRM AND DETAINED ELIZABETH KEN AND SIEW KA WEI On 9 January 2019, the corporate genius Siew Ka Wei and the Geeko Tech’s main player and his media specialist, Elizabeth Ken, were arrested and detained by MACC/SPRM for 4 days!

Overwhelming Evidence Wondering why both Elizabeth and Siew Ka Wei are not charged yet. Of course, Siew Ka Wei had announced in his orbit that MACC had cleared him! However, MACC did not make any announcement about it.

Geeko Contract Was Terminated But TM Did Not Take Action To Recover Money Paid To Geeko Thanks God that the scandalous Geeko was terminated by TM unfortunately it didn’t pursue to recover the RM11,963 million that was paid within 20 days after signing the Geeko contract!

Recently Elizabeth Ken Appeared Prominently In Another “Deal” Using BXC Travellers Sdn Bhd With Tencent As A Bait To Sell A Project To MAHBIn May 2023 I published 2 articles in my blog:

I wrote these articles because it was very apparent that the same modus operandi was employed by Elizabeth Ken using Tencent as a bait to sell the project to MAHB.

The above 2 articles were written as a recap of the modus operandi used by Elizabeth Ken in the scandalous Geeko Deal. Both Elizabeth and Siew Ka Wei were arrested and detained by MACC/SPRM.

Elizabeth Ken was not happy with the expose because the BXC deal was also rejected by MAHB.

In mid May 2023, Elizabeth Ken saw it fit to lodge a police report for “criminal defamation” against me. However, until this date Elizabeth and/or her “boss” Siew Ka Wei dare not institute a defamation suit against me because they knew all articles published in my blog are properly researched and documented.

I HAD LODGED TWO POLICE REPORTS AGAINST ELIZABETH KEN FOR MAKING A FALSE REPORT& GIVING FALSE INFORMATION TO TH EPOLICE

After the IO Ahmad Faidz had recorded by statement on the allegation of criminal defamation, on 31.5.2023 I immediately lodged a police report under Seapark Report No: 003549/23 against Elizabeth Ken for making a false report against me and Seapark Report No: 003588/23 for giving false information to the police.

No News On My 2 Police Reports Against Elizabeth Ken - Why?

Until this date, after a good 5 months have elapsed, I have not been called by the police for statement. I have not heard anything from the police. I have written two letters of official complaints to the top management of the police in Bukit Aman, so far no news. I have also hand delivered a copy of the said letter of complaints to YB Saifuddin Nasution

In contrast, based onElizabeth Ken’s false report the IO Ahmad Faidz sprung into action in lightning speed and saw it fit to confiscate my notebook computer under the pretext of investigation. After a good 6 months have elapsed, I have yet to be charged and/or my notebook computer has yet to be retuned. Is this not an act of intimidation to stifle free speech?

Criminal Defamation Under Section 500 Penal Code Is An Archaic Law. So far there was only one case reported where YB Mat Sabu was charged for criminal defamation for uttering in a ceramah on 21.8.2011, where he said:

“ Recognition was only given to UMNO police officer aligned to the British”.

Prosecution failed to secure a conviction and YB Mat Sabu was discharged. Please see: Pendakwaraya v Mohamad Sabu [2017] 10 MLJ 273
