My Amazon FBA Journey: $0 – $1,000,000 in 12 months
Starting a business and making a million dollars in a year may seem like an unattainable goal for many people. However, with the rise of e-commerce and platforms like Amazon, the opportunity for rapid growth and success is more accessible than ever before.
My journey to achieving $1,000,000 in sales on Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) in just 12 months is a testament to the potential that this business model offers. It was a rollercoaster ride of learning, hustling, and adapting to the ever-changing landscape of e-commerce, but the results were beyond my wildest expectations.
I started with a simple idea and a small investment. I researched different product options, studied market trends, and carefully selected a niche that I felt had great potential. Once I had my product in mind, I set up my Amazon seller account and got to work on sourcing suppliers, creating my inventory, and preparing for my launch.
The first few months were tough. I encountered challenges with logistics, inventory management, and marketing. It was a steep learning curve, and I made my fair share of mistakes along the way. However, I was determined to succeed, and I continued to educate myself, seek advice from successful entrepreneurs, and refine my strategies.
One of the key factors in my success was the power of Amazon’s platform. With millions of active customers and a sophisticated algorithm that prioritizes high-quality products, I was able to gain visibility and attract sales relatively quickly. Additionally, the FBA program allowed me to outsource the storage, packaging, and shipping of my products, freeing up my time to focus on growing my business.
As my sales began to pick up, I reinvested my profits into expanding my product line, improving my branding, and scaling my advertising efforts. I also leveraged Amazon’s sponsored product ads and utilized social media to drive traffic to my product listings. Slowly but surely, I saw my sales climb, and my monthly revenue reached impressive figures.
The turning point came around the 9-month mark, when one of my products gained traction and started to generate significant sales. This momentum fueled further growth, and I was able to capitalize on the holiday season to drive even more sales. By the end of my first year selling on Amazon FBA, I had surpassed the $1,000,000 mark in total sales.
Looking back on my journey, I am grateful for the opportunities that Amazon FBA has provided me. It has allowed me to build a thriving business from scratch and achieve a level of success that I never imagined possible. Of course, it hasn’t been easy, and there have been numerous challenges and setbacks along the way. However, the rewards have been well worth the effort.
For anyone considering venturing into e-commerce or starting a business on Amazon FBA, my advice is to do your research, be prepared to work hard, and never be afraid to adapt and evolve. The potential for growth and success in this space is tremendous, and with dedication and perseverance, you too can achieve remarkable results.

I absolutely love your story and I know it took a lot of hard work. Do you do mentoring? I could use some guidance. I’m technically a single parent struggling and only making 3600k a month in my job. Any advice to start up would be so much appreciated.
Off the top of your head what % of your students would you say are successful with your class? I’m looking for a mentor but there are a ton of people out there.
You make it sound easy the part about finding the winning product. Do you have a video of more in detail how you found them? I started my business in may 2023 and when I first started I got all the softwares thinking it was going to be easy like keepa, scan I limited , arbitrage hero, smart scout , seller amp and all the extensions so help read the data but I quickly learned it’s not as easy as people make it seem also I have little experience so I stopped after working from morning till night and working a full time job and I was getting no where. I finally started to find products when I started putting in the left work going to Walmart, Sam’s , Costco, local stores. But no winning product I have stopped again but keep telling my self to get back in and don’t stop. I take full accountability. For anyone first starting I would say finding a winning product is hard it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. That’s just my opinion, I hope everyone reaches their goals in this Amazon journey. ✌️
Can’t wait to have KT as my mentor!
Hey I loved your video great content and information but the one question I am stuck on is how do you actually ship the product ? Like when you say you were buying it n storing it in your living room where you shipping it to Amazon or were you actually shipping to the buyer ?
