About Us
Is this site for you?
This site is for all people selling Private Label products on Amazon.
That splits into two sets of people: those doing under $100K a year in turnover, and those doing over $100K/year.
“Can you help if I'm just starting out?
My original mission at Amazing FBA was for the needs of those just starting out in this sphere.
If that's you, I recommend you start with our free guide "10 Steps to Building a Private Label Business" to give you an overview of how to get started.

“What if I’m making over £100,000 a year”?
If you’re a more advanced seller, ie, doing over $10k/month, we are launching a new Mastermind in the Autumn of 2022.
If you're interested, just click this link to email me.
Depending on the build-out of the structures, I'll send you a link to any pages we have about the mastermind and to any application form.
“What if I’m making over £500,000 a year”?
If you’re a full-time, we got you. We've been running our flagship Mastermind since the Autumn of 2017.
If you sell over £40,000/month ($53K USD/€47,000 EUR) online in ecommerce, and can get to London regularly, you should check out the 10K Collective Mastermind, whose members have been experiencing some astonishing leaps forward in their businesses.
More than one member experienced a doubling of turnover between joining in autumn 2017 and the onset of COVID.
One seller went from low 7 figures to 8 figures a year in under 4 years!
Despite COVID, we've had some amazing results. Under COVID, some members have tripled their businesses.
These are not subtle improvements! But they take time and work to show up.
Granted, we are now in more challenging times, but if anything, that's even more reason to hone your game and keep your morale up.

I should be clear that all masterminds are application only and require a paid commitment. They are for the serious seller and committed member.
While it’s not for the fly-by-night, for those who commit to the experience fully, membership has brought deep rewards to its members.

Welcome Home!
If your're British or live in the UK, welcome home! This site is especially for you. If you’re from the USA (like about half of the podcast listeners), you’re very welcome and you will still have a lot to learn here.
I often have several international coaching clients at any time, and that does include Americans! I have sold on Amazon USA, UK and all of Europe, so I’m familiar with the demands of all of those Amazon marketplaces.
More significantly, these days, I’m the convenor of the 10K Collective Mastermind. This is an intentionally small but mighty collection of and women who collectively turn over at least £20-25 million ($25-30 million/€27 million approx) a year on Amazon and other ecommerce platforms. This has given my ability to help others a massive rocket boost as the intensive work, and learnings from those groups permeate all of my work with clients.
How can we help you?
If you need help to choose better products and get sales and profit on Amazon Europe and Amazon USA, it’s our mission to help you.

Free Podcast Guidance
The podcast is a treasure-trove of insights, information and insiration. We now have over 3 years’ content, with over 300 episodes.
We also write detailed show notes. You can access both here
The podcast is a blend of my personal insights reflections and guidance, and Expert interviews.
We have over 145 expert episodes live, with more to come (see below for the list of guests to date – a real Who’s Who of Amazon).
Experts interviewed to date include:
- Greg Mercer, creator of Jungle Scout
- Will Tjernlund (over $6million in Amazon sales in one year)
- Adam Hudson of Reliable Education
- Kevin King
- Anthony Lee of Zonblast
- Danny McMillan of Seller Sessions
- Manuel Becvar of Import Dojo
- Brad Moss (former head of Seller Central itself!)
- Jeremy Biron of Forecastly
I also simplify and apply general economic and internet marketing principles to Amazon. Again, much of this being based on the reality of the masterminds; the rest is based on my own experiences as a seller, all blended with the insights of general business experts.
I am not anti-theoretical frameworks – indeed, many of us rush around like headless chickens. It turns out that insight has financial value, .
That said, I believe in experimental method.A pretty idea (aka hypothesis) is all fine. But before I’m willing to hand it out as a principle or formula, it has to prove itself in a test in the cauldron of the Amazon marketplace.
That’s one of several guiding principles we try to live by here.
Paid Help
If you have a bigger need or bigger budget, the gold standard of help is one-to-one consulting
I deliver this online to clients in video calls via the “Zoom” system. Because it's purely online, we can work with sellers anywhere in the world. Many clients are and have been British based; but I’ve also had clients as far apart as Colorado, USA; Melbourne, Australia; Ireland; Poland; and Germany.
With many hundred hours of mentoring under my belt now, I’ve probably seen (and often solved) your issue many times! So I can draw on very substantial experience to help clarify, guide and support you in your business-building work.
The mentoring programme is application-only and I obviously have very limited capacity for the number of clients I can work with at any time.If that sounds relevant, you can find out more and apply here.
One-off (one time) consultations
I do offer 1-off consults to all comers, ie, no application or interview needed.
These are particularly geared to the three critical points in your private label building process:
- Product research check (just before you spend months sourcing products)
- Pre-Sourcing check (just before you spend $1000s on your first private label order)
- Pre-Launch Plan (just before you waste those $1000s with a lame launch!)
Who am I to help you?
I’m a UK based (London) Amazon Entrepreneur myself as well as working as an Amazon Coach and Amazon mastermind convenor.
I’ve been selling on Amazon USA since December 2014 and started selling in the UK in July 2015, branching out into other European marketplaces in late 2016.
Between my own brands and those of business partners, we have made around $250,000 in sales on Amazon since starting business.
However, I want to be clear: I'm NOT power seller. Nor do I pretend to be. That isn't the unique value I bring.
What I do bring is a synthesis of insights from power sellers I work with intimately; power seller guests; and client work. I've blended those into principles & strategies that are as evergreen as it is possible to be in this ever-changing environment of modern Amazon.
What experiences do I draw on to help you?
Insights come from four main sources:
- the intensive work hour-after-hour with thriving 10K Collective mastermind members;
- from countless private meetings with my UK & American power seller contacts(many of whom are quietly making £1-4 million a year away from the spotlight);
- from my own Amazon selling experiences;
- and from my many expert guests on the podcast (with over 145 interview episodes to date).
Last, and not least, I’ve had massive insight from mentoring for several hundred hours since April 2016 in intensive one-to-one work.
I’ve worked with a range from total inaction-takers* to those doing over £1.5 million a year. It’s fascinating to experience – and reflect deeply on- the difference between the also-rans and the winners. I’ve honed my coaching approach in response to that personal reality.
*(sadly more than a couple! – you can’t escape the 80/20 rule)
I’ve worked with clients in the UK, but also Ireland, Germany and Poland. Recently that has extended to as far as Virginia, USA; and Melbourne, Australia.
Some fascinating learnings come when you work intensively with entrepreneurs from different backgrounds.
My own Brands
I want to be clear. Many (if not all) Amazon “gurus” have made – and are making – much more significant turnover than I have.
I’m cool with that. What I offer is a blend of experiences. I hesitate to use the word unique, but you can judge for yourself that it’s at least hard to replicate or find elsewhere.
That said, it’s important that I’ve been in the trenches and know what it feels like to risk my own money and experience the highs and frustrations of online selling.
I’ve run out of inventory three times, had Amazon keep products in “Hazmat” for two weeks, I’ve ignored the business for 2 weeks at a time, I’ve had products held at customs for two weeks… – you name the mistake, I’ve done it.
Also, I’ve had my products that sold 30 units a day a nice profit…while doing pretty much nothing. Or hit highs like 103 unit Cyber Mondays.
Through the highs and the lows, I’ve made some good money and, despite the odd stressful days, have had a good time.
Nothing beats selling while you sleep. It’s a lot of work to get there and more work to grow from there, but if you enjoy the journey, it’s all good.
