Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to my final review topic, this time, we have a great course that has changed the world of e-commerce since 2013; The Amazing Selling Machine.
Matt Clark; the guy who is known as “The Amazon Master” and his Amazing.com team; Jason Katzenback, Mike McClary, and Rich Henderson are back with a new version of the ASM course, which is considered to be the best ASM version ever.
What is this system? Why is it regarded as one of the best?
Anyway, could this be a big scam? Is it easy for a new person to use it and start a legitimate business?
This is what you are about to discover, keep reading my review …
As you have probably heard on the news, many stores are closing across the country, and the reason is that so many people are buying things online. And the biggest absolute store where people buy and trust is Amazon.

Now You May Be Thinking, “Isn’t Amazon Very Competitive Now?”
Amazon increased by more than 40 billion dollars in revenue last year. It will easily reach 40 billion this year again. Amazon is growing like crazy!
If you look at its growth chart over the past few years, it not only increases a lot more, it also increases the rate.
So the curve grows like an almost straight hockey stick, which is crazy if you already think about its size!
The number of sellers to keep up with this pace would be insane. HundrView Posteds of thousands of new sellers are expected to be added each year, which is not the case.
So yes, Amazon is competitive, but its growth is also massive!
Should You Sell on Amazon?
You better believe you should sell on Amazon! Here are some reasons why:
You need next to no money to begin trading on Amazon. Particularly now, because it’s a holiday sales season and the amount of profit you can get is crazy pants!
You can start earning money quickly! Imagine if you took the $4,500 – 5,000 you were going to invest in ASM and doubled or tripled during this holiday season.
Amazon handles the entirety of the customer support, so you don’t need to, they don’t need you to contact customers. Or, trying to get your customers out of Amazon to get the FREE PDF that you offer on your private label that lives on Amazon, so you can get the customer’s email address so you can sell them other products that don’t live on Amazon.
You Don’t Have To Private Label Your Products To Sell Them on Amazon
Remember: you can start with retail arbitrage, there are a great many items accessible on Amazon at present, a significant number of them you can sell.
There are items in your general vicinity and online that you can purchase inexpensively, turn around and sell on Amazon at a profit. Liquidation stores, clearance aisles, thrift stores, and many retail outlets have discounted products that sell for a higher price on Amazon.
Walk later, after mastering retail arbitration. You will be able to access wholesale and more. There are usually several ways to the skinning of a cat!
You see, there has never been a better time to start your own business by selling on Amazon than now.
Even if it is the start of the incredible fourth-quarter selling season, you can still reach your goals. Selling on Amazon FBA has made it easy and affordable to start a profitable business under your roof, I am currently doing it.
All I’m saying is that you don’t have to go into debt to get a piece of the Amazon pie. If you’re looking for a business you can manage from the comfort of your home, selling on Amazon FBA may be just what you’re looking for!
Who Is it For?
If you are new to Amazon and have no experience in e-commerce, or if you are a struggling Amazon FBA entrepreneur, this program is PERFECT for you.
However, the Amazing Selling Machine costs a lot of money, so it’s not for everyone.
The program only makes sense for those who are SERIOUS about success through an Amazon FBA business.
Fantastic Selling Machine Review – Overview
The Amazing Selling Machine is a program that will guide you every step of the way to building a successful physical products business on Amazon.
That is true. You can start an entire business on the same platform where you do most of your shopping online.
Let me give you a statistical context so that you can see the limitless opportunities to build a profitable business on Amazon.
First, the average Amazon Prime member spends about $1,000 a year on Amazon. Worldwide, there are 100 million Prime members.
Yes, that means Prime members spend more than $100 billion a year shopping on Amazon.
This does not include the countless millions of non-prime members who contribute to hundreds of millions of Amazon sales every year.
Here’s another: Amazon will earn over $5,000 in the time it took you to type “Amazon” in the Google search bar.
Hmm, the FBA looks like the business opportunity of a lifetime.
How Does It Work?
Any entrepreneur who runs a business with a sophisticated service process will say that service can sometimes be a headache.
At one point in the explosive growth, Amazon realized that it could leverage its efficient service process to attract online entrepreneurs who wanted to start physical product businesses without worrying too much about the logistics side.
Amazon, therefore, created its Fulfillment By Amazon program, or FBA for short.
FBA agreements can be easier to manage than a non-FBA deal because you only have to worry about everything until you ship your products to Amazon. They take care of the rest.
Here Is The Short Version of Its Operation
First, you register for an FBA account. If you already own a regular Amazon account, adding the FBA takes only a minute.
Then you choose your products, order samples for testing/photography, then list them on Amazon.
Once you are done with your listings, you package your items and send them to Amazon centers.
From there, Amazon takes care of the rest. When a buyer for your product, the employees of the fulfillment pick, pack, and ship your items as if they were “normal” items ordered off Amazon.
Amazon also manages customer service for its products, helping you save time and money to keep your customers happy.
Now, This Entire Process is Much Easier Said Than Done
The hard part is really to be successful with your FBA business. It’s not as simple as choosing a product, viewing an Amazon list, and watching the money come.
You should still manage the rest of the FBA’s activities as a serious business.
You need to know how to choose the products, what marketing methods to use, and how to grow your business when the time comes.
This is where the Amazing Selling Machine comes in.
Jason Katzenback and Matt Clark want to take you by hand and guide you through the process using proven strategies and tactics with which they and their students have been successful.
What is an Amazing Selling Machine?
The Amazing Selling Machine is a step-by-step training program that teaches you everything you need to start, grow, and develop a physical product business on Amazon through its FBA program.
Most of the Amazing selling machine is an 8-week online course, with a total of 132 lessons accessible from anywhere with a computer and wifi connection. You take the courses at your convenience, providing the flexibility you need if you keep a job while starting your own business.
Matt and Jason created a learning method in which they dubbed the “Momentum learning method” on which they built each lesson. In the learning method, each experience is hugely focused on one thing, so you can learn it and apply it to your business after the lesson is over.
In other words, it is a “apply as you go” learning method.
That way, you don’t have to go through several times referencing a lesson when setting up your business.
Just Do The Lesson, Apply The Information, Rinse, and Repeat
The course is divided into nine modules, including a “Welcome” module. Each week, you will cover a different module of the course.
The welcome module provides a lot of contexts. You discover the many features of your purchase of Amazing Selling Machine offers, and also why the FBA is an incredible opportunity.
Also, you will get a tutorial on all the features of your Amazon FBA account and some lessons on the principles of success.
Module 1 does not waste time, teaching you everything you need to know about choosing products: which products to choose, which to avoid, and tools/methods to speed up the process are all covered here.
You will also discover the power of branding.
Module 2 is Where Things Happen
Matt and Jason show you how to get products, communicate with suppliers, and calculate products and costs.
Module 3 diverts attention from a pure product and places a strong emphasis on the brand.
However, you also learn how to order product samples and possibly your inventory.
Module 4 continues the theme of marketing module 3 started by explaining how to build your brand through social media and viral content, as well as teaching how to create anticipation for the product launch.
You are About To Launch When You Get To Module 5
Now it’s time to know how to research keywords to get the most traffic to your products. Module 5 will cover pricing, email marketing, product images, and concepts basis of the description of the copyright of the products.
Finally, it’s time to launch your products in module 6.
Matt and Jason include a detailed procedure of the shipping creation process in this module, but you will also learn growth strategies before launching, during launching, and after the launch.
The end of the module lets you know how to capture your first product reviews.
After The Launch, It’s Time To Improve Your Marketing with The Content of Module 7
This module will explain how to maximize the various advanced marketing tools in the Amazon, as well as transform your former customers into passionate fans using other advanced marketing tactics.
Your business is finally running well, but don’t feel comfortable.
The sky is the limit in terms of income, so it’s time to climb! The primary exercise tells you the best way to decide when it’s an excellent opportunity to arrange more inventory.
The remainder of the module centers around launching the following items and expanding your business so you can make more money while still spending less time on your business.
And If You Plan To Retire from FBA Activity, You Will Also Learn Exit Strategies
These modules offer everything you need to become the next FBA success story, but all of this can be overwhelming if you want to do it yourself. In business, having an active mentor or two can go a long way to your success.
Amazing Selling Machine goes further with its second component, the Mentor program.
Other mentoring programs may provide you with a general business coach, but not the Amazing selling machine.
They recruited real students of the Amazing selling machine who killed it using the methods of the Amazing selling machine and were already showing others how to mentor current and future students successfully.
So even if you are not sure that you can successfully apply the course content, you have real success stories that can answer your questions and guide you through uncertain nuances that the course may have missed.
Probably The Best Use of Material Evidence I Have Ever Seen
Ah, but the good things don’t stop there.
Any course worth its salt must have some kind of private online community for networking, support, and discussion. After all, entrepreneurship can somewhat be a lonely path.
ASM has its online community called the Amazing Alliance, and it doesn’t disappoint.
The Amazing Alliance is full of Amazon sellers from all walks of life.
The whole world, from beginners to sellers making millions, can meet to discuss issues specific to businesses, make/answer the questions, and share experiences and goals.
Also, you get a whole network of people to hold you for staying on track with your business.
Oh, and The AMS Mentors are Part of The Amazing Alliance, So You Have Even More Access To Them
In addition to the sense of camaraderie you get in the Amazing Selling Machine online community, you also get the first details and the best cash prices at Amazing Selling Machine live events. One of them is a big seller event.
These live events are great for connecting with other Amazon sellers and learning new things that you can apply to your own business.
So far, the Amazing selling machine has filled you with almost everything you could need to be successful in FBA.
But if after you’ve had a helping hand from start to finish and have worked with living examples of the success of Amazing Selling Machine wasn’t enough, Matt and Jason have launched their Private Resource Vault, which covers every detail of the business.
For example, they provide contact information for any professional services they use in their own Amazon business, such as freight forwarders or professional photographers.
They Even Include Product Evaluation and Templates for Contracts
These are not just recommendations. Matt, Jason, and their students use all the features of this vault to date to manage their business on Amazon.
Finally, just for good measure, the Amazing Selling Machine offers a set of advanced automation tools that will help you monitor and grow your business at the right time.
The tools consist of a “brand launchpad” that helps you get traffic, an analysis tool to track several important business metrics, a dashboard that quickly shows you many of those metrics and a set of search tools to identify the best products and the most effective keywords to rank your products highly.
Wow. That’s a lot of things they keep there.
Rightfully So, Given The Price, We Will Enter Later
Now to resolve some minor confusion.
If you search Google for Amazing Selling Machine, you sometimes find a program known as “Amazing Selling Machine X”
See, Jason and Matt update the course with new content from time to time to stay abreast of FBA trends and strategies, in addition to following Amazon’s ever-changing terms and conditions.
The Amazing Selling Machine 11 is just the 11th iteration of the Amazing Selling Machine.
After purchasing access to the course, you get free, lifetime access to all of these updates when they occur.
Unfortunately, the Amazing selling machine is not open all year round. It seems that Matt and Jason prefer to open registrations at the end of each year, most likely to “start over” with their new students in the new year.
Amazing Selling Machine Review
It’s time to reveal the reality of Amazing Selling Machine 11 and what is the difference between it and previous versions…
The ASM 11 package is divided into five parts:
Part 1: 8-Week Web Course
It is an 8-week online training or eight modules, which teaches everything about the process of selling products on Amazon.
I think you know the skeleton or the main idea of this free video series system if you don’t already know it. You will get great value.
The idea is again to sell private label products made by wholesale suppliers. This means that you don’t have to create products, manipulate them, or anything else, as suppliers do all of this, and Amazon FBA does all other sales processes.
All you must do is select the right product, create the Amazon list on your product, get the best rankings for the chosen keywords, and generate more traffic.
In This Web Class, You Will Learn How To Perform All Steps of The Process in Detail
You don’t have to guess because the whole course is a detailed or step-by-step action plan that begins on day 1 of the course and ends on the last day of the 8th week.
You can start with a small budget and increase everything as you go. This training is suitable for residents of the United States and outside the United States (international sellers), even in restricted Amazon states.
All training materials are added to the member’s area in the form of a module per week, in the form of short videos with PDF and downloadable guides (there are more than 120 training videos in the member area).
You, Will, Receive Updates for Free Updates With Each New Version of The ASM Web Base Class
Also, there will be eight weekly group training calls from Matt, Jason, and other successful mentors and students.
Part 2: Suite of automation tools
This is a new addition to ASM 11, as Matt and Jason have finally realized that to effectively manage this business, you need a few tools …
Next, they created software and, at the same time, arranged for ASM members to have free access to other tools for a specified period.
Here is The Software Package You Will Have Access To:
Tool 1: Manage by a stat toolset – 12 months of FREE access
This includes a variety of tools, such as
- Email automation to send personalized emails to all of your Amazon customers to increase product reviews and provide excellent customer service
- Detailed traffic and conversion statistics for all your products
- Sales and profit tracking for your entire business
- Keyword tracking to see your ranking among your competitors
- Inventory tracking and alerts that allow you to take timely action to keep your products in stock.
Tool 2: Brand Launchpad and Continuous Sales System – 12 Months FREE
It is Amazing.com’s platform, not only to help you launch your products and get immediate sales but also to provide continuous and profitable traffic when your products are going up.
Tool 3: The ASM Business Panel – Lifetime Access
This is synchronized with Manage by Stats. The ASM team has created a dashboard integrated directly into your ASM subscription so that you can get all your vital business statistics in one place.
You have access to it for life.
Tool 4: The Ultimate Set of Product and Keyword Research Tools – 90 Days of FREE Access
The ASM guys have an exclusive deal with Helium 10, used by every successful Amazon seller I know.
This set of tools will allow you to:
- Quickly identify the 500 million Amazon products that meet ASM’s unique criteria.
- Validate precisely how much your competitors are selling each day to validate which products are the best opportunities.
- Determine how to improve your product compared to your competitors, by seeing exactly what other customers are doing and dislike about them
- Find out precisely what are the right keywords to create a product list and plan the product launch
- Optimize your product lists to make sure they convert and rank in the best possible way
- Determine exactly what keywords your competitors are offering, to discover low hanging fruit to facilitate sales opportunities
Of course, to be honest, I don’t like that you have limited access to these tools, but the advantage is that you don’t have to invest in these tools when you first get started.
For Example, Helium 10 Alone Costs $197, So Those Three Months Cost $591.
And the ManageByStats tool costs $600/year. Therefore, only these two tools cost US $1,191, which you save with your ASM11 subscription.
Part 3: Lifetime Membership in An Exclusive Community
It is an elite community for people like you. People who take their business seriously.
The ASM team will also be available in this community to share knowledge and opportunities with members.
Members of the Amazing Selling Machine community also share ideas. There will also be motivational strategies.
And the best part that I see in this community is that anyone who needs help, many other members, and mentors come and offer this help quickly.
Part 4: ASM Mentorship Program
The mentors are former ASM students who have had incredible success with their business in the Amazon …
According to a recent survey, these guys have an average of $1.8 million selling on Amazon, so you can be sure they know something about this business.
Their role here is to help you when you need help. No matter how stuck you are, ask for help, and one of the mentors will respond.
And on rare occasions, if the mentor does not know the answer, he or she will have access to a group of mentors, where they share unresolved problems, and the most experienced mentors will respond.
Part 5: The Private Resources Vault
Anyone in this business will say it’s gold!
If you fly solo, you will need to look for excellent services for different parts of the business, such as product inspection, shipping, customs brokers, dispatchers, to name a few…
These services are required to ensure that your products reach Amazon FBA in the best possible way. And, unless you already have relationships with these services, you don’t want to risk wasting all of your effort and money on unreliable services.
ASM members will receive an exclusive collection of resources with their contact details …
You will also benefit from discounts and extended trial periods because you are an ASM member.
Amazing Selling Machine Cons
The only downside I can find is the high price of the amazing selling machine 11. This ASM system costs payment of $ 4997 US or six-monthly fees of $997. However, with the profit potential you have with this business methodology, this price is a good deal.
And you also have a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t like what you get (which I highly doubt!)
I have seen dozens, if not hundreds of success stories since I joined ASM2.
All you have to do is believe the system and do your homework (that’s what these successful members have in common.)
Upsell
Amazing Selling Machine has no upsell. It’s an expensive course that offers a lot of value, so I don’t even think there is anything it doesn’t cover that’s worth an utterly new information product.
Matt and Jason also don’t need upsells.
Maybe this idea crossed their minds, but they are making so much money from Amazon FBA and Amazing Selling Machine course sales that they probably decided it was not worth it.
The Prices
Amazing Selling Machine costs $4,997 upfront. You can also decide to pay for six months for $997 if you don’t have all of the $ 4,997 upfronts. However, this method costs almost $ 6,000.
Either way, you pay a lot of money for a course.
However, seeing the absurd amount of useful content they have brought to the Amazing Selling Machine, I don’t think the price is unfair or unreal.
I mean, you will get that $4,997 or $5,982 over time if you follow the guidelines very well and make the most of the many other features of Amazing Selling Machine.
Consider The Price As a Qualifier
Without this, they can have a lot of price-shopping students who want to call anything that does not instantly create immense wealth to be a scam.
Even the most valuable and non- fraudulent courses by many buyers can lose out, only with the word “scam” associated with the class.
The price of $ 4,997 eliminates everyone except the most serious of aspiring FBA entrepreneurs to keep accusers of fraud at bay, as well as to maintain a high-quality community and support from the Amazing Alliance.
Another Way To Analyze The Price Would Be To Compare it With Tuition Fees
Only a 12 to 15 credit semester in some of the cheapest public schools can cost almost the same intuition and course fees.
So when you finally graduate, you will have to spend years working for a profitable position if you follow the path of the employees.
Compare that to the profit you could make with Amazing Selling Machine methods.
What if you failed?
In College, You Have To Pay To Resume Classes
With Amazing Selling Machine, there is no “failure” unless your business breaks down. Even so, you will have lifetime access to the course and all of the bonuses to learn from your mistakes and retry without repurchasing the course.
Affiliate Program
Amazing Selling Machine has a very profitable affiliate program. According to the affiliate registration page, each person who buys through the affiliate link earns nearly $2,000 per sale, with the potential to make even more revenue.
At this rate, making just two affiliate sales a month can bring in almost $50,000 a year!
You should not expect a high sales volume, because the course costs as much as renting a chic apartment in New York.
But given the quantity and quality of the course content, a little decent copywriting will go a long way toward banning the affiliate program.
Speaking of copyright, the Amazing Selling Machine does most of the hard work for affiliates for you. They provide proven email and social media models to promote the course and drive traffic to the free monthly webinar.
All You Must Do is Have An Appropriate Audience To Sell
An excellent affiliate program is naturally selective about its affiliates.
In the affiliate application, the Amazing Selling Machine asks you for your affiliate marketing experience, mailing list size, and promotion methods.
They even ask questions about your most recent affiliate promotion and sales volume.
These requirements seem strict, but limiting access to the affiliate program protects your reputation. If they attract the non-targetted audience (people who are not severely aspiring entrepreneurs), they could be hit by several rumors of fraud when these students fail.
So they want affiliates who will bring them high-quality customers who will appreciate and apply the incredible hardware overhead of the Amazing selling machine.

Final Verdict
This is the end of my Amazing Selling Machine review. But, before I finish the review, I want to quickly summarize my thoughts for those who do not wish to read the full, in-depth analysis (although I would recommend doing so when you have time).
In general, the course is very well designed. All aspects of the course, from the videos, are easy to use and full of useful information. The entry price can be high, but I think those who are ready to dive will have an invaluable resource that will more than pay when their Amazon business takes off.
I have no problem recommending the Amazing Selling Machine for those who are seriously interested in trying to build a successful business from Amazon.
So, I hope this ASM review has been useful to you, and I wish you only success.
You know you may be skeptical about it. It’s all good!
You don’t have to do it, nobody forces you to do anything, but I’m telling you there is a great opportunity here, and I want you to meet people who have internet access, no matter where you are in the world. It’s a great business opportunity, so I hope to see you there.
