I’m an Amazon FBA seller who has done a number of courses, and this review covers Amazing Selling Machine 10 aka ASMX. I was once a beginner too, so I understand that there is some skepticism towards these courses, and I hope this review can give you a better understanding of this course in detail.
Further more, just for reading, there’s a free PDF guide ‘101 Products to Sell on Amazon’ which is available below. There’s no opt-in, you can read this guide at any time. It’s my way of saying thank you! More on that later.
Let’s begin….
Background from an Amazon seller
Since 2009 I’ve done many, many courses on how to make money offline and online, some have been great, and some not so great. I’ve spent upwards of $40,000 on my personal and business development, and the payoff has been excellent.
Amazon, when using their FBA platform, let’s you easily build and scale a business like nothing before. There no need to invest into warehouses, forklifts, staff, payment systems and the like. Your business can start with 1 product, 10 products or 100. It’s really up to you.
That’s the thing – every course I’ve taken, I’ve put into action and I’ve made money from. That is, I always take action, not a buy-this-and-do-nothing sort of person. Some strategies have been easier than others. Certainly eCommerce has been the easiest, and selling on Amazon particular has been my favorite. I’ll explain in the next paragraph.
How Amazon FBA works
Your buyer traffic is right there on the platform, ready and waiting for the right product that most sellers just aren’t up to scratch with. And China now offers high quality products for a fraction of the retail price-point. Plus, the ability to work from anywhere worldwide with an internet connection.
The laptop lifestyle is my personal favorite and the one thing I worked towards for many years. I personally wished I had started on Amazon long ago. Then, at the same time, understand that this opportunity is very still fresh and unsaturated.
Why I wrote this ASM10 review
Mind you, selling on Amazon isn’t an easy process to begin with. Learning the processes, systems and caveats takes experience. So you can either learn the hard way, or find a course that teaches you how to sell on Amazon. In my opinion, Amazing Selling Machine 11 is one of the best courses to take and hence why I felt this review was necessary.
ASMX is easily the best course available on the market in the US, and the one I most recommend to my readers in the United States and Canada. Those from the UK, Europe, Africa and South America are likely to benefit from this one too. Australians may find that the Reliable Education course to be better suited, since there are local conferences and local support.
Yet as an Australian, I’ve just booked tickets to their annual SellerCon conference for ASM students in Vegas. Once you start earning decent income through Amazon, the investment to attend these overseas conferences becomes smaller. It’s simply incredible to be in a room full of 6 and 7 figure sellers, those sharing the same journey as you.
Why I chose Amazon as my vehicle
My experience with selling on Amazon FBA has been excellent and with minimal downside, to where I’m now at a full time income. Some people are able to quit their job and live off their Amazon income (i.e. me!) whilst others who are already successful, and have multiple streams of income, simply redirect that stream towards their investment portfolios such as real estate.
That point was shared for emphasis since I see it both as an income source for those who wish to quit their job / business, or also an opportunity established business owners to leverage the extra income towards further investments. So beginners and experienced business owners will both benefit from the Amazon FBA opportunity.
My personal journey on Amazon
I started selling on Amazon in early 2017 on FBA in the US. At this stage, I’m still only selling in the United States and my products are going well, and I’ll be looking to expand towards the European and Australian markets by late 2019. Exciting times ahead!
I have no doubt that had I tried to go on this journey alone without having bought a course, then I’d be left confused, frustrated and could have even lost tens of thousands of dollars. I’d rather buy the knowledge from people such as Matt Clark who have been in the trenches for a long longer, and I felt the price for the course is extremely minimal. I mean, where else can you build a business with such little investment that brings you a full time income in 2 years? Not many that I know of, and I’ve been around for 10 years now!
Who is the Amazing Selling Machine program for?
Personally, I feel that the Amazing Selling Machine 10 course only suits a certain group of people. If you typically buy courses and do nothing or want to call this a scam, then please don’t buy Amazing Selling Machine. For those with no capital to start, then please don’t buy Amazing Selling Machine. If you need money to pay rent, then please don’t buy Amazing Selling Machine. Actually, these points can be applicable to any course on how to sell on Amazon, it’s better to wait until you get your life in order first.
See folks, I tell things as they are. No sugar coating here, 10 years experience with these sorts of courses has taught me a thing or two. I can smell BS a mile away. If you’ve got a winning mindset, you know that this opportunity will require work, capital, patience and perseverance, then ASM10 is for you. Unlike MLM distributors, I won’t tout this as a get-rich-quick scheme, as it isn’t. But potentially a get-rich-eventually scheme, provided you can put in the work as I have.
Amazing Selling Machine does work for those in Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, London, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Hong Kong, India and even China. There’s numerous countries that I’ve missed. As long as your country is on Amazon’s supported-country list, then you’ll be totally fine. The Amazing Selling Machine training is applicable to your country. I earn a full time income and travel to different countries.
Define your reason why Amazing Selling Machine is for you
It is my hope that this Amazing Selling Machine (ASM10) review has helped you get to a clearer decision on whether to take the course or not. I’m personally forever grateful for the Amazon FBA opportunity, which has allowed me to quit my job and spend significantly more time with my son especially in his younger years.
I feel it’s best, when making these decisions, to define why you’re embarking on this journey. Perhaps it’s more family time, perhaps it’s the Ferrari, perhaps to help your parents retire, or perhaps you just want to do good in the world. Either way, define what you want and decide whether selling on Amazon is the vehicle to get you there.

Quite simply, they receive a little referral fee if you join the course through their cleverly disguised link. With me – I’m upfront, open and honest. You can sign up to Amazing Selling Machine through anyone’s link if you feel this course is right for you, or if you feel that I’ve been of value, then please utilize my referral link I am providing below.
A friendly disclaimer
And of course, I need to mention this one too. Members of Amazing Selling Machine and their results may not be typical. ASM members joining between 2013-2016 who completed the program and launched a new brand had median annual revenue of $60,750.00. Those figures I personally find impressive, especially coming from an MLM background where these numbers were significantly less.
I am an Amazing affiliate and may be compensated for promoting these products and services, and you can use my referral link or go directly back to Amazing Selling Machine’s website. The choice is yours, and the course cost is exactly the same. To say it another way, it does not increase at all if you use my link. I’m a go-giving type of guy, I give first and don’t expect anything in return. It’s just my nature, one core skill I learned from Gary Vaynerchuck. I like to share my experiences, provide value and hope that it’s of use to a lot of people.
…and another disclaimer!
Then the team at Amazing Selling Machine wanted me to add in this additional disclaimer given that numerous people decided to join the course through what they read here on my blog: The claims presented on my blog are not represented as predictions or forecasts that anyone who joins will experience success. Concerning future performance or results, no guarantee of any kind is implied. Individual results will vary depending on many factors outside our control, including the degree of effort made by each individual and the time, skill and ability they can devote to the business. Although these claims are truthful statements about results obtained by our customers, the results obtained by our customers are not necessarily typical. Some customers have little to no profit. That’s the thing guys: I cannot control how much income you might make in this, it’s really up to you.
The truth about being an ASM10 affiliate
I didn’t quite write this one for those little commissions that might come my way either. I genuinely am passionate about helping people start their Amazon journeys, and feel that this course is ideal for a certain group of people. Plus, I already earn a great income selling on Amazon FBA and love when others join the party too!

You’ll notice that I only mentioned my link once, and with no hype. I welcome you to go directly back to ASM to join the party if you feel that this course is right for you. Or through my affiliate link, either is cool.

Onwards and upwards!
ASM is currently not taking any new applications. I live in Arizona USA. Who do you recommend? Cheers! Holly
Hi Holly! They will be open again in a few weeks I think. Sit tight! Otherwise, Freedom Ticket is a great alternative.
This is a on the surface review of ASM. You’ve not gone into great detail such as course content and their structure.
I am with ASM now, and think it is difficult without their support.
Considering going over to Sophie’s training.
I’ve purposely kept this review mild because for beginner, there are multiple better choices than ASM for total beginners. Sophie is one of the better choices.
Hey man thanks for being honest and sharing all that information
