Simple process to scaling on Amazon:

1. Buy stuff
2. Sell stuff
3. Use profits to buy more stuff
4. Sell more stuff

It IS that simple - but here are 4 tips that will help you 👇 1. Be an ROI Snob

When you are first starting out, flip the hot items, the big ROI winners.

Those are for when you have more capital and risk tolerance.
