Anyone seen Amazon Money Machine?

Has anyone purchased Amazon Money Machine by Matt Clark?

It appears to be mostly about doing dropshipping with Amazon. I've gotten several mailings about it, but the $995 cost seems a bit expensive.

He claims this is a "lifestyle" business with low overhead, but I've been dropshipping for over 10 years (and have sold millions of dollars worth of products). Don't know how he is doing it, but our business has taken a lot of work and can't be run from a cellphone (as he claims).

If anyone has seen the product, I would be interested in finding out more details.

    Looks like a good product but would like some feedback from someone who has bought this as well before I pull the trigger.

    The sales video is by Jason Potash - who I paid for his Article Blueprint coaching course for a similarly expensive price many years ago. Was never happy with that software nor the lack of results garnered. I therefore have serious doubts when watching this hyped video.

    That being said, I am a fan of Amazon and am sure that the course would hold some gems for those who can spare the cash.

    Remember that there will be additional money required to prepare products and outsource tasks - not to mention your own time and effort. This won't be as easy as buy the course and then using nothing but your mobile phone watch money roll into your account to the tune of $70,000 - $100,000 per month. I mention this so that those who get caught up in these hyped and heavily promoted products don't go out on a limb and borrow money to buy the course thinking they will make it back immediately.

    Peace

          robfrancis,

          Thanks for wishing me Good Luck my friend.

          I started watching the videos and in the Intro video Matt made it clear that the course is based on three Modules and they are as follows:

          1. Drop Shipping

          2. Private Labeling /Wholesaling

          3. Kindle Books


          I think we are misunderstanding one thing here is that the course is not only concentrating on Drop ship !!!

          So far it seems to me it's a Complete course. I did not know Matt but I know Jason K and Jason P very well and I believe in their products and they work.

          I would be able to give you more details as I go through the course. So, stay tune ..................

    I watched a webinar with him, explaining the course and I wasn't impressed at all. Dropshipping isn't as easy as he makes it out to be and even if you do manage to find good suppliers, you still need to beat all the amazon competition.

    He also states many times that he would rather have 85% of the sale (100% of product sale-amazon fee) rather than the 5% you get from affiliating (plus or minus) but I just find this like comparing apples to oranges.

    At $995 I wouldn't touch it whatsoever. At 19.95 I think it's a consideration, but probably a pass.

      Yup Sam England and another Warrior (who's name I have forgotten right now) do a great little Amazon course with enough to get you started - cost me about $11 - Do a search for his name and check his WSO's!

      I haven't watched/read this other course yet, but it might be of interest (esp. at $27) to all looking for an affordable intro to various Amazon channels: sevenbuckaroos.com and look for the Amazon Partnerships product. As a Colorado resident I can't take advantage of the the regular Amazon Affiliate route, so I'll be having a look at this course for alternatives.

      I believe Mr. England's course is about using drop shipping from your own website, not Amazon, however still a good way to make money. Also What this Matt Clark is doing is taking private label products and putting his own label on them. Quite different I think.

      I actually like the idea of marketing on Amazon as a vendor but when I tried to find some private label products of my own it was hard. I'm certainly not going to pay $1000 for the course. It is understandable that people need to make money, but when someone that makes that much money doesn't make it available to the masses, at a price that is affordable, I question them.

        My sentiments exactly. I was also invited to take a look at this by Mark Ling through a webinar this past week. If Matt's making 70 -100 K per month in sales (assuming 40k per month in profit) then he should make the coure available at a lower price and offer a monthly payments program stretched out over twelve (12) weeks.

        That being said, I'm not familiar with drop shipping amazon products and private labeling. It's probably not right for me as I'm already having a tough time managing a 50 hr per week job, a family life and building a web site based on one (1) amazon niche.

      I bought Sam England's original drop-shipping course (about building your own site). It was quality and comprehensive. I was looking into drop shipping at the time and the thing I realized was that with the majority of suppliers, every order will involve manual work.

      Suppliers don't live in any kind of IM dream world of automatic billing and shipping.

      So it's only possible to cut your hours with outsourcing. Dropshipping is a management and organization puzzle. That's a hurdle to climb for most people... on top of all the other stuff you'll need to learn and apply.

      So you're buying a product with high qualifications required to use it successfully. Sellers will never tell you this. Expensive products are the *worst* for being hard to use, often requiring multiple full time staff to get the results the sales page claims.

    Chrisbroholm is right. They make dropshipping sound deceptively simple,
    but I can tell you, it's not. There is a large amount of start-up capital required
    & organization with this kind of business is key from the get go or your dead
    in the water.

    My feeling is that it is pretty complicated and $70000 is only income. He said his profit margin is around 40%, that is $28,000 profit/month. What if your profit margin is even less than 40%?

    It is a good number of money but considering how much work you have to do and how much money you have to invest, I feel this course is not for me.

    Besides, I know some IMers can make even more than that by just doing affiliate marketing and everything is just online without dealing with any physical products. That's the real lifestyle that I want.

    • Profile picture of the author RhondaG
      I think the idea of what he does is a great way to make money but my only two complaints were it was made to sound too easy (most webinars don't tell how hard it is) and it should be priced no more than $100.

      Now if we look at it from his point of view.....if he can show us how to make thousands per month why would be not want to pay a thousand to learn it. The problem is most people will not be able to follow through and understand how to make thousands and those who would love to try it can't afford the price tag!

      There are plenty of marketers who will pay the money and I hope they do well with it and for the rest of us we will have to figure out how to make thousands another way. Or figure out what he did by researching it ourselves.

      ***Food for thought*** Have any of you ever thought about what would happen if we really went on a mission to learn how to do something that would make us rich. If we did all the work and and had all the trials and errors that those rich people had to do to get where they are. I'm saying this because instead of having everything spoon-fed to us, I wonder how successful we would be with just hard work and determination.

      This does not mean we should not by courses, etc, I mean maybe some of us (myself included) should do more digging on our own. Think about this. All those making it good online didn't know how when they first started either. Aren't we just as smart as they? (hmm, in my case will have to think about that one). Okay, just ranting a little, but bottom line is that I will keep on keeping on no matter what it takes. I have made money online by working hard, so I'll just work even harder. See you guys at the top!

    I received an email from Matt offering 4 installments of payment plan. I thought those who are interested and thinking a little difficult to pay in full in one shot, it's a great opportunity for them. And those who are in fence I would like to suggest them, rather listening to others why not give a try yourself. What I believe is every individual is different. Something I might not make it work for me but you might. So, always it's wise and worthy it to try for yourself, since they are offering Money Back Guarantee. In my opinion eventually you are not loosing anything but you might find yourself something that you are waiting for a long period of time."


    Find the exact email I have received bellow and also let me make it clear that I did not insert any affiliate link in here:


    I've been getting A LOT of heat about this over at
    my help desk. I had no clue how big of a deal
    this was...

    What's all the fuss about?

    All kinds of people are asking me:

    "Matt, why aren't you offering a payment plan for
    Amazon Money Machine???"

    In fact, many of you said you would order right
    away if I cut you some slack on the price.

    Well, GOOD NEWS!

    I just got the green light and am pleased to
    let you know that a 4-pay plan is now available
    here Money Machine.

    This makes Amazon Money Machine a lot more
    affordable.

    Now you can sign up and your first payment is
    72% off the full purchase price.

    >>> BUT (BAD NEWS) I MUST WARN YOU...

    Once people get this same email your are reading
    right now and see this new 4-payment option... it's
    going to get nutty around here.

    I just know it.

    Because MANY of you have been asking for this.

    And as it is...

    >>> Group Coaching Bonus Is Already 71% GONE!

    This email may push things over the top.

    When that happens (and we hit 400 sign ups), the 8-weeks
    of *live* Q&A Group Coaching will be off the table.

    I *can't* handle anymore than 400 people on
    these live calls.

    I'm not trying to push you here or use the old
    "You must order now" line that you see
    everywhere.

    But, this is real.

    I'd really hate for you to miss out on this
    bonus because it is worth more than what I'm
    asking for the entire AMM course to begin with.

    I am totally serious here.

    Especially when you consider that people are happy
    to pay me upwards of $5,000 for consulting,
    one-on-one time and to ask me specific questions.

    Because that $5,000 can often save them from
    losing $21,000 (like I did on Amazon when I didn't
    know any better)... and boost their sales so
    much that $5K is really a drop in the bucket.

    I'm not saying this to brag or anything. But,
    that is my rate. People do pay it.

    So, I hope you can see that this bonus *is* an
    EASY $1,000-$2,000 value here.

    That's not some number that I pulled out of a hat.

    Anyway, the new 4-pay option is available right
    now here on the websitehttp://azmoneymachine.com/indexnep.php

    (Note: the 4-pay button doesn't appear under the
    video right away though. It's several minutes later)

    I hope this helps make your decision a little
    easier to join Amazon Money Machine.

    Looking forward to working with you.

    Talk soon.

    Matt

    On product pricing, I guess it depends on what the owner considers the product to be worth. We could argue all day about what the price range should be etc, but that's just our opinion.

    I listened to the webinar, and my impression was that this guy doesn't do webinars and coaching to make a living. He lacked the flow, recording quality was iffy and took an effort to get out. ( On the other hand, it could just be a cleverly contrived strategy to make him look amatuerish and therefore more appealing???)

    From what I understand, he was one of the underground presenters at Yanik's last event and they (Yaniks special group, I forget their name) are helping him promote this. At least Yanik, Jeff Johnson and Mike Filsaime are.

    Spoke to someone who does about $50k monthly selling on Amazon who also listened to the webinar. He said this guy knows what he's talking about.

    To be fair, I think Matt does mention that it takes some effort and also how he had challenges running it when he started, he actually got banned by Amazon. Very few of the Gurus ever share that kind of information.

    Anyhow, Jury's out. Let hear what the reviews say in a short while

    I hope the juice is worth the squeeze. They certainly gave some valuable information in the webinar. Glad I caught it.

    I had a nightmare with the customer service side of things with amazon. When I had a look at a few high price ticket items. Plenty of scammers trying it on.

    The kindle angle looks excellent though. Be good to spend some time on that.

    I have seen a replay of a webinar promoting this product

    About the pricing
    1) He has a $10,000 challenge.
    The actual cost of the product is $1997, you pay $997 now, then if you make $10,000 profit within the next 3 months... you pay the other $1000.

    2) 60 Days no questions asked money-back guarantee, so of course you can ask for a refund.

    3) (he says specifically for this webinar offer, therefore I do not know if this 3rd offer is present in other promotions of the same product)
    - If you don't make at least £3000 profit in the next 60 days he will give you a 100% refund and $200 Amazon Gift Card

    4) when you click through the buy link you will indeed see two buy options
    - 1x $997 (of course remember about the $10,000 profit / pay another $1,000)
    - 4x $277 (which is $1108... plus I guess the additional $1,000 if you make a profit of $10K within 3 months)

    I assume the $10,000 challenge is on a trust-based agreement


    One of the posts above mentioned something about... if he makes so much per month why charge $997 to teach/train you. Well, I think pricing strategies/politics are baed on a variety of factors. But in general if you have a successful person/team/Company and you want to learn from successful/experienced people ticket prices are high doesn't matter which sector you are in; be that learning violin from a top concert-player/recording artist or business guru, even if the teacher may be already rich and famous

    I am not saying the author/owner of Amazon Money Machine is charging the right price, it is up to the potential customer to establish VALUE. But there are two sides to establishing value, one is the value of what he offers and how he delivers, the other half is how well you can make use of what he his selling/teaching to you. If you do not act on it and have the mindset/resources to put in practice his or any other system no matter how little or how much you spend it will all be a waste

    He his making so much money per month why sell for such a high ticket price... well
    let's assume he does sell 1000 memberships in a month = 1000x$997 = $997,000. That is almost $1MIL in a month, much more than what he makes per month with Amazon-Selling. Let's say he only sells 500 signups 500 x $997 = $498,500 (Half a $Mil) and let's say he only pocket half of that when you take out refunds and JV commissions, it would still net him (roughly) $250,000 in a month... AGAIN much more than he makes in a month with his Amazon business

    Also, if he sells it for $1997 now... or $997... he could re-release access later on at $497 or $197 or $97 realistically promoting it as a $1997 Product you can now buy for a fraction of the cost (others have indeed paid $1997-if any or at least $997 when the product was first launched)

    The high ticket price with a successful number of sales will also give his IM profile a boost

    On top of that his product is not a WSO where marketers are supposed to offer their products at heavily discounted price, so he can try any price he thinks will give him the best overall profit

    What he didn't mention in the webinar was if he actually provides a list of suppliers he tested/uses with good track records so at least you won't be wasting time and money working out new suppliers by yourself.
    You also need to keep in mind that yes making Kindle eBooks can be free/cheap (so that's ok)... and yes you do keep more money if you sell you own physical products instead limiting yourself to the 4% affiliate commissions.. but with your own physical products you do need to invest money to actually buy from suppliers, you need to buy your stock upfront, you need capital.

    Do not expect to buy on 30/60/90 days credit from suppliers if you have no track record, also some supplier may only deal with pro-forma orders, as in you pay upfront and they never give credit.

      Sorry to reply a little late.

      As I mentioned earlier I am going through the course thoroughly and I am super excited trying to figure out which strategy I should start with !!!.

      I planed to start with the Drop-ship to see how it works for the products I have selected and to find the most profitable one and then take it to the next level which means make it Private Level.


      Regarding the price, well to me the price is worth it, I wish if I would had gotten the installments option when I signed up !!!!!

      I have been doing online business since 2008. I have done PPC, PPV, and SEO. I can tell you one thing as per my knowledge that If you intent to make money online NOW-A-DAYS, the best way to make money is to go with or under Authority Sites, like Amazon or eBay. Since Google is giving the top most priority to the Authority sites for ranking and these authority sites already have ready buyers with the wallet in hand.



      Now how you perceived any course, what is your desire level, how serious you are to implement, it's completely will depend person to person. I can suggest one thing from my experience is that whichever course you follow you have to have believe in it and take action accordingly. Only then you will find the success.


      If you believe someone and have faith in someone just follow him/her and take action. Like I have on Jason K and Jason P (though I did not know Matt) but I know if this was not something valuable, both JK and JP wouldn't be partnering with Matt. So, I signed up without reading any WF post or anything like that. And I believe I made the Right decision.

      Let me give you an example here, suppose you bought a gun with the instruction.If you study the instruction and don't use it or don't read the instruction properly and don't take action then it's a Piece of a Iron not a weapon. It will be a gun only if you know how to use it properly. I am sorry that I had to give you a bad example using the gun word. But I thought it would be a good example to explain.



      Finally, whichever course you follow I strongly believe that it is much easier to make money going with the Authority sites these days rather than trying yourself to become a SEO master or mastering on any other form of traffic. Be an Action Taker other than gossiping and listening to others who did not even try.

        Modern PPC, have you gone through enough of the course to tell me if this seems to be a viable option for someone living in Asia? I mean can you get the products that you want to sell without being physically present?

          Yes, you can !!!

          Depends on which country in Asia you are from?

          I would like to mention here that Matt is closing the door tomorrow.

          Best of Luck.

        Regarding the price, well to me the price is worth it, I wish if I would had gotten the installments option when I signed up !!!!!

        I have been doing online business since 2008. I have done PPC, PPV, and SEO. I can tell you one thing as per my knowledge that If you intent to make money online NOW-A-DAYS, the best way to make money is to go with or under Authority Sites, like Amazon or eBay. Since Google is giving the top most priority to the Authority sites for ranking and these authority sites already have ready buyers with the wallet in hand.



        Now how you perceived any course, what is your desire level, how serious you are to implement, it's completely will depend person to person. I can suggest one thing from my experience is that whichever course you follow you have to have believe in it and take action accordingly. Only then you will find the success.

          Was it purchased using Clickbank? If so, do a google search on 'how to return a Clickbank product'. It's very easy to do. You should have a receipt for your purchase in your email and you should be able to get a refund through CB using their refund method. Clickbank has a 30 or 60 day no questions return policy on all digital products.

          If it was purchased directly through PayPal, log on to your PP account and click on the transaction. You should see an area you can click on to file a refund or dispute. Once you file a dispute 99% of the time you will get a refund within a week through PayPal. I have never had an issue getting a refund this way when the owner refuses to respond to my emails. I think PP gives you 30 days to file a dispute/refund.

          Finally, go direct to your credit card if the above fails. Opening a CC dispute can take a long time. You will get refunded faster if you can get it through CB or PP. Good Luck!
          I had an online chat with CB this morning, I gave them my USPS tracking number and they contacted these folks directly. I returned the DVD...I think I tossed the membership certificate. If that's holding up my return, I will contact the Attorney General in Illinois. Having to return a 15 cent piece of paper is a joke. This is the second time I have ordered a high ticket course through a certain PPC guru. I had to file a complaint with the California Attorney General the last time. I did get a refund.

    Hi everyone!

    I had this course through a group buy and I am still currently going through it.

    If you're interested in dropshipping and selling in Amazon.com (US), you can set up a US bank account. Now, at all countries can do this, but there are quite a few.

    A couple of group buy members of mine are from India (India is NOT included in the list of countries which can set up US bank accounts - as per Matt Clark's email), and they said they should just utilize the strategies they'll learn from the course to sell on Amazon India.

      To anyone who purchased this course:

      Does he supply the actual drop ship sources and suppliers for physical products, OR is he simply giving you the resources to find them yourself?

      Also, he mentions that he is able to send merchandise directly from his supplier to Amazon.com for them to fulfill orders-FBA. I work FBA myself and I have to get merchandise to my office first...then process the merchandise and re-ship it to AMAZON for fulfillment. I am curious if he actually has a system to by pass receiving the merchandise yourself first?

      I know with the FBA program, you can opt to have them label the merchandise for you, but there are several warehouses to ship to and they do require a special barcoded shipping label on the box, and a special barcoded packing list in the box...If he has a way to send merchandise directly from the supplier to AMAZON without ever having to touch it, I would buy this in a heart-beat!!!

      Anyone know???

        Scott Casey and davidyair,

        Yes, you can send merchandise directly from your supplier to Amazon.com for them to fulfill orders by FBA. Matt taught about it in the course how you do this.

        I would like to mention that Matt is closing the door tomorrow.

        Best of Luck.

      Hi , i went to the MM webinar last night and even if the infos are Ok the price is way to expensive for me. Not because i don't have the money but because you can find this infos , especially if you are just starting out on Amazon , much cheaper , and with the 1000$ you can invest in your biz to start and not buying a course . Beside i notice that after a few months they replay the course but they made some change according to peoples complain ,NOT EVERYTHING IS SO EASY AS GURUS TELL YOU ...!Start little and don't get broke !You can buy the software they give as a bonus and it will not cost you a fortune.Go to amazon and get all the infos you need for free, just take your time to search or ask them !

    Matt Clark claims to make 100K/month with this program...I wonder how much is actual profit? I ordered the system, received my DVD in the mail, went through the materials, and shipped the DVD back for a refund. It's all basic information that can be found elsewhere. No, it's not worth the $977 price tag.

    Just want to mention, in reply to earlier thread comments, that Ecommerce Arbitrage is a course Sam and I did together. It goes over selling inventory on Amazon and Ebay, including Fullfillment by Amazon. For an in-depth FBA course, a really hiqh-quality course is the Proven Amazon Course run by Jim Cockrum.
    I purchased the course and here is my honest review:

    First, I will mention I am returning it. I do think they are tricky by sending you the DVD software along with the certiicate and requiring that you return that to get a refund. when i received the mail items, I felt like that was a "gotcha gotcha" to keep the refund rate low as a lot of people will toss those items. We will see how the refund process goes. I am not returning it due to the quality of the product, but rather some issues going on with my amazon account that makes the education/software useless at the moment.

    I've been an existing amazon seller so I pretty much purchased this for the software. However, once I started using the software, it was lacking a lot of basic features. After looking at the WF again, I do think that AMASuite is better executed, though it is not specifically intended for this purpose. The features that are missing are really simple, like once you get your product list from the research, you can export to excel, but the export doesn't include the URL or the ASIN/UPC so it makes the excel export pretty much useless when tying them back to a product. I tried to post several times asking when they might change that and no response. So that, in combination with my account issues, is what's causing me to request a refund. I'd be willing to purchase again if the software improved.

    The "knowledge" part you can get from Sam England or Jim Cockrum's products for less. They also do not cover one very very crucial aspect of selling on Amazon and that is the strategic importance of using Amazon Fulfillment. They talk about it, but not how important it is. I think both England and Cockrum cover this. So you get all this info on selling on Amazon, but the smoking gun is not covered at all. Now considering the strategic importance of using FBA (amazon fulfillment), it kind of negates the whole drop shipping thing.

    I am such an advocate of selling on Amazon, though not really as an IM strategy. it's great for people who are already in a product industry, are manufacturers, or can be. Amazon seller support is horrible, literally the worst ever, worse than eBay. To the point where I'm contacting their legal department to find a resolution for my issues. Having said that, this is not something you can rely on because literally, my account has nothing wrong with it, no unethical behavior, no dodgy products, 5 star ratings for the past year, and yet I'm stuck in a bounce-around nightmare with half my listings suppressed/restricted, so know what you're getting into. You HAVE to diversify even if you figure Amazon out FOR YOU.

    Having said that, I think the course is good. The price tag... you know, that's a relative value thing. I'm already making money on amazon (though the amount has decreased due to the above issue) which is different than investing to START something. If I weren't making money on Amazon, I would get something cheaper just to get started and then move forward. once something is producing money, the price tag becomes less of an issue than it is if it MIGHT end up in your "bought it but never did it" pile of info products.

    I also don't find the Kindle bit to be... I mean... People talk all this hype about Kindle but so few really can make it work. Even the guy that is the spokesperson for the software makes most his Amazon money from good old fashioned tangible products.

    I wholeheartedly recommend selling on Amazon. I was selling years ago before FBA and it was such a hassle because you had to integrate into your systems and ship and put it back in Amazon's sustem. It was one of these info products that got me to reconsider last fall, right before holiday season, so I did the work and sent the inventory and Amazon's system is ridiculously complicated and tedious (again, with horrible support) but I still made >$10K listing inventory that was slow moving. I felt like selling on amazon was/is just stupid money because you literally do almost nothing and get deposits twice a week. I swear, there are products I order by the case, don't unpack, open the box and put in my amazon packing slips, ship to FBA and get a deposit twice a month. It really is like that.

    The hard part is finding enough products that you can acquire at a profitable price to make it consistent and that's why I bought the software.

    And no you can't make it work as well with drop shipping. Part of it is that drop shipping puts you at a disadvantage, and the other part is who you're competing with when you drop ship. The best way is to import/private label, etc.. And THAT is the hard part. If there was an info product on that, that had real hardcore information and not just basic "I could have found that with an hour and google" I would get that in a heartbeat.

    But again, this is for someone who is comfortable with the tangible products market.

    If you just want to get started, try something really low cost, with a high markup, that sells in enough volume where you only have to spend a few hundred dollars. Just until you get comfortable with the process. Then you can move your way up from there. But you really need software to be able to find those opportunities.

      I agree with you. I just received my refund confirmation from Clickbank. This will be the last big ticket item that I purchase through a guru link. I understand that these gurus are also affiliates, and their large mailing lists makes them attractive promoters for the big ticket items. You will not see a big time guru promoting a $37 eBook.

    I am glad that you got your refund.. I liked the idea. But they never demostrated how the software worked even after they launched the item. Thats seems really weired to me.. Before i buy any products I always try to see if I can fine a review in wf before I purchase.. Less than 20.00 products I will take a chance... Any 100 products and up products I do a thero research..

    They make this sound like it is a "paint by numbers" system but it can be tough. Ive been looking into the Amazon FBA selling and the issue is consistently finding high profit margin products to sell. This is an art that some people do better than others.

    I heard from another source(not verified) that the new rehashsed course would run about $3500. Folks, if they can figure it out so can you. I believe that not everything has to be handed to us in a silver spoon. Yes, it's nice to research and of course buy some information, but anytime you pay $1000 or more it's not for me.

    Basically if you want to make lots of money like these guys are (and they are) you need to "private label" some products and get them directly from the source. If you don't want to do that you can still make good money just finding wholesale products that are hot on the market. This does NOT mean your normal dropshippers that have 3000 products that everyone is selling.

    Do the work, do the research, and the income will be there. Making the kind of money these guys are talking about means getting a distributor to allow you to purchase at their wholesale prices.

    **just my opinion so take it how it was intended.....to help**

    seems like it will be release on monday or 1 day later the new course ...price will be about 3.350 $ . I look the videos myself but a fewQ. - if you make that kind of money to go in holiday in France you can rent a better house ( this balcony is cheap and the appartement are cheap too in france , i have a travel site myself..)- NOT everything is so easy as they show...if you get white label , get a lawyer because you will be respoinsible for anything that may happen with your product...- To make that money with products of 6 /8 $ is not easy . Read in Azon all the fees you are paying to them .. plus all the cost you get extra-I guess you can make more money by selling course on amazon then to sell there, maybe-AMAZON SELLING MACHINE ? Safe your money and invest in your biz!Evrybody makes thing so simple even a child can do BUT reality is different!And all the gurus make a lot of hype to get them share of the launch , that's it ! Next week another launch ......Just my opinion Frank Moreno

    I cannot use Amazon Money Machine now. I was able to use it a few days ago but for no reason, search results does not show (bottom section appears: processing: and when search fields are posted, it appears as: started hunting) Had been wating for the result for more than 10 hours, but nothing shows.

    Also, my Amazon account had been disconnected or closed somewhy.

    I had never sold an item yet, but this is what is happening to me right now.

      I have no idea what you are talking about, can you please explain? Amazon money machine has been taken off the market and rebranded to Amazing money machine, which is a course and tools included. When you say search, what does that mean?

      Sounds to me you have the wrong thread my friend
