And is his strategy the best way to make an Amazon FBA business work? Or, is local lead generation a better way to use a "rank and bank" method to achieve passive income online?

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.

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%.

Singapore: Work safety trainer jailed 10 months for forging certificates, safety passes

A 52-year-old workplace safety trainer has been jailed for 10 months for forging certificates and safety passes for the Building Construction Supervisor Safety (BCSS) course.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Wednesday that Ramanathan Thamilselvan, who was a trainer with Work Safe Consultants, had sold the forged documents to workers without conducting any training and assessments. The safety training course is compulsory for all the construction workers who are assigned to a supervisory role at a work site.

MOM said that Thamilselvan was charged under the Workplace Safety and Health Act, for the fraudulent practices that took place between January and March 2016. Under this ACT, the maximum penalty for the forgery of certificates, false entries and false declarations is a fine of up to S$5,000 and up to six months' jail for each charge.

According to the ministry, the two directors from two other workplace safety and health training providers were also sentenced to 10 months' jail each for similar offences in August and September last year.

Between August and December 2015, Sellachamy Somasundaran from Maha Safety Training Centre and Md Abu Zahin Mostafizur from Pioneer Skill Training Centre had forged certificates and safety passes for the same course.

Since then, MOM has cancelled all fraudulent BCSS certificates that were issued by the three training providers. The authorities have also revoked their statuses as accredited training providers.

"Foreign workers who bought the fraudulent BCSS certificates were barred from performing supervisory roles. They will not be allowed to renew their work pass upon expiry and are banned from working in Singapore," the ministry said in a press release. "MOM takes a very serious view of any breach to the Workplace Safety and Health Act as workplace safety and health issues directly affects workers' lives, safety and health."

"Regular audits on the training providers are conducted to ensure full compliance and competency of the training providers," MOM added.
