  • It’s a New Year – Hello 2025!

    Well, it’s a New Year and 2025 holds some very interesting and exciting prospects in my endeavor to become a successful Amazon FBA eCommerce seller. Before I get into that though, let me do a quick “mea culpa” (i.e. ‘my bad’) and confess that it’s been 6 weeks since my last post! Funny … my…

  • Catching Up: Nov 16, 2024

    Well, my plan to make daily posts isn’t working too well so far, I’m going to have to pick up the pace. I was concerned that daily posts would be too boring and not provide enough useful information, but I’m going to reconsider that idea and try one more time to make daily posts no…
