Practical, Step by Step, Amazing course

Amazing course. I am very impressed with the step by step videos and guidelines along with quizzes to validate and reinforce my understanding.

I had purchased another course 3 days earlier but returned it and i did not find it that engaging and was not to my liking.

I will update my review once i complete all the modules ( 200+ ). I have already submitted to create my LLC using bizee.com's easy to use step by step interface.

I am able to put to good use, the information provided in this course. I would give 10 stars if i can

Keep up the excellent work - HonestFBA team.

Comprehensive course with great support - recommend!

I first signed up to Janson's course in late 2022, where I worked through the huge amount of content/guides to bring myself up to speed with Amazon FBA and the strategies recommended. Hands down one of the best choices I have made, my business wouldn't be where it is today without the knowledge gained from the course - which was a daunting step when I first began.

The support received from Janson is briliant, quick and helpful responses via email but also a facebook group full of like-minded sellers/trainers who can assist with any quieries/issues you have.

Have been selling for a year and a half now and still revert back to the training video's/content where needed, given there is so much to learn and remember!

Highly recommend to anyone starting out!

Different gravy to any other online…

Different gravy to any other online course/mentorship. I have been with Honest FBA for just over a year now. I started selling in September last year. I hit 10k in sales within my first 2 months of selling. The level of support is unmatched with Honest FBA. Live calls, coaching, 1-1's they go above and beyond to ensure success. Haven't looked back since I began and I'm excited to continue to grow on Amazon over the coming years. Take the leap, you won't regret it.

Honest FBA... DO IT!! Changed my life for the better!

Joined Honest FBA just over a year ago now with absolutely no experience in selling on Amazon, but thought let's give it a go! Roll on 1 year and I've just hit £100k revenue with nearly £30k profit!! Cannot recommend these guys enough. The course is fantastic! Loads and loads of quality material to take you step by step to becoming an Amazon seller. The guys always there to offer support and guidance with no BS like you see other gurus saying.

Honestly, if you're thinking of joining or on the fence, do it!! It's changed my life and I cannot recommend Honest FBA enough!

A genuine feedback

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot of feedback, but this one deserves it.

I've seen many Amazon gurus showing off their Lamborghinis and luxury lifestyles, and I never felt like signing up for their courses because they just didn't seem like the right fit for me. I almost gave up until I saw a random video on Instagram from HonestFBA, which talked about Amazon FBA without showing off fancy cars and it seemed genuine to me. The message was clear: selling on Amazon is not as easy as many gurus claim, but it's also not as hard as you might think.

The course provides a lot of tools, and if you feel like it's not enough, you have access to a diverse and constantly improving community with different levels of experience and backgrounds.

I believe everything happens for a reason, and after 6 months, I still believe it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my professional life.

You won't regret it if you join Honest FBA!

I hesitated for a long time about whether to start an Amazon FBA business or not, and luckily, I came across the Honest FBA guys who convinced me that with their help, anything is possible. And it's really true, they are really helpful, and a special thanks to Joe who has been with me from the beginning, and without him and his words of support, I wouldn't have come this far.

HonestFBA is brilliant. Janson provides clear explanations in a user-friendly manner, and the support network within the course is exceptional. Janson is consistently available, making this the ultimate resource for anyone seeking guidance to embark on their Amazon journey.

Don't put it off - Join a great FBA course & community!

I started my FBA business just under 1 year ago. But only joined Honest FBA around 2 months ago…

When I researched into the FBA private label business model, I realised that a lot of people online were offering courses to train you “how to make $5k / $10k each month” – I always thought why are these people running courses and not actually making thousands each month through the process they’re claiming works? It always put me off thinking all these courses were a scam!

So, I started my FBA journey on a solo basis; researching online, watching YouTube, reading forums… And then I came across Honest FBA on YouTube –

Wait… another couple of gurus telling me I can quit my job in 1 month? No! Their content on social media is so transparent, realistic, genuine and they have their own successful FBA business that they constantly post and update their followers on.

Watching their YouTube content, I followed their process for product research, working out what makes a good product opportunity etc – Then I realised once I had my product ordered, there’s a lot more to learn – Logistics, Quality Assurance, PPC, Product launch strategies, the list goes on.

At this point I knew I needed guidance, so I joined Honest FBA… and within a couple of days I regretted the fact that I held off so long.

The course material great – Everything is covered from setting up a company to scaling your business.

The course videos are great quality, and easy to follow. The weekly live calls are a great resource to keep up to date with product research methods, changes in Amazon etc.

Along with the course material & calls, you become part of the Discord group. This is a great resource to ask questions and see each members results. Everyone in the community is eager to help each other.

It has opened my eyes to the possibilities of FBA, and being part of the course & community is keeping me focused to ensure the business is a success. If you want genuine mentors (Tom, Alex & Janson) and a great course to make your business a success, Honest FBA is for you.

I’ve only been a member for a month and I have already learned loads.

I’ve enrolled in courses in the past and after completing Honest FBA’s I’ve felt like the key factors of the business have been drummed into me hopefully increasing my probability of success.

Having a product submission feature to get their feedback on a product idea is a great addition and can save a seller thousands and hours of wasted time.

They also have a great community on discord where can ask questions and gain advice from like minded people.

The weekly training calls are great too.

Great community and well worth the investment!

Cheers, Andy G.

The single best Amazon FBA course

The single best Amazon FBA course

If you are planning on doing private label on Amazon FBA, this is the single best course for you.

It includes absolutely everything from A-Z, plus the interaction and support from Alex, Tom and Janson, which are real FBA Sellers.

Cant stress this enough. If you will be launching a PL Brand on Amazon, this an INSANELY great investment

If you want fully transparent training without the cringe, these guys are for you!

I had been considering doing FBA for quite some time, with absolutely no clue where to start. I spoke with so so many FBA mentors but the fit just didn't feel right. There seemed to be so much gatekeeping with each and every company I spoke with. They wouldn't say too much unless I'd paid up. I had been quoted anything up to £8,000 to be taught how to build an FBA business. That was before investing a single penny in a product!
I came across Honest FBA while watching FBA videos one night on youtube and was immediately drawn to the way Alex,Tom and Janson presented FBA. No BS or cheesy videos of Lamborghini's (very cringe...especially to a mum of 3 who would rather sit with a pile of crystals in a tent than drive one of those things).
The lads have their sales figures out there for all to see and I really loved how they call a spade a spade. Theres no cloak and dagger BS. In fact, their videos give away SO much training for free, that other 'gurus' are charging an arm and a leg to access. This to me screams integrity and for sure the type of people I want to learn from and be around on the daily.
I've been part of the Honest FBA community for little over a month now and am seriously over the moon with the quality of training and support Ive experienced so far...it just keeps getting better and better.
The community that Alex, Tom & Janson have built on Discord is fantastic. Everyone is so respectful and also incredibly supportive towards oneanother, regardless of where each of us are on our journey. We have 7 figure FBA business owners alongside complete beginners like myself. We have regular live training sessions on top of over 240 training videos in the course resource section and an accountability coach. I know for sure I will keep referring to the training material even when my brand has grown as there is just so much useful content.
If you want to learn from real FBA business owners who do a serious amount of personal business both individually and collectively, then Honest FBA is for you. They do accept students who want to own a Lamborghini btw😉 ... but they will be 1000% realistic with you about how to get there...minus the cringe factor.
Best money Ive ever spent and seriously excited for my future in FBA.

Honest FBA - a Great supportive community.

Really good course and community which helps guide you through the world of Amazon FBA and Private Label.

I have not launched anything yet but am in the process, and believe this course is the only course I would have purchased as they really put effort into both the course, with detailed videos for each step of the journey, and also the community - where I'm sure other Amazon FBA courses, sell you the course and you won't hear from them again - or very little. That is the most valuable part, in my opinion.

If you are thinking of starting up then I couldn't recommend any other course than this one.

The course is Amazing, easy to follow and the facebook group and Janson are so friendly and supportive

This course has taken me from knowing absolutely nothing about FBA selling, to achieving 10k in revenue in just 7 weeks of launching my first product. Literally I can not praise Janson and the easy to follow course with such an amazing facebook group of supportive FBA sellers.

Janson is really approachable, always willing to give advice, the fb group can answer any questions you have throughout the course, and I have loved every minute of the journey, there is absolutely no way I could have done this without the course and Janson, FACT. You need to be committed and do the work but the ROI is mind blowing.

Unfortunately, not worth investing in the course

The course in itself was alright, but you won't have much support outside of the course. If you want to schedule a call-back, it will take a long time to get connected. When you email the founder, somebody else responds on their behalf. While it may not be a surprise, the experience was cold and you are not seen as students genuinely wanting to succeed but as cash cows. If you are a beginner and are unsure and have limited funds, I would obtain Amazon FBA material on Youtube for absolutely free. Because apart from the course material, the team don't really have your back.

Reply from HonestBrands

Hi Mashal - sorry to hear you are not happy with the Academy, however your review has a lot of inaccuracies in it and misses out some key information:

- You enrolled in January 2023. Despite me emailing you after a few days to see how things were going (as well as sending the weekly Acceleration Programme emails), I did not receive a reply or hear from you once.

- The first time we ever had contact was this week (Nov 2023), where you told me you had faced issues with your product and therefore wanted a refund.

- I immediately offered my support & said I'd be happy to look over your listing to hel turn things around & see what may have gone wrong. You declined this and said you'd already withdrawn your stock from Amazon.

- Upon checking your Academy Progress Report, I noted that you had completed less than half of the materials, and NONE of the product research verification & selection modules. This would explain why you chose to launch a product on Amazon that had no demand whatsoever (in your words it was a 'new product'). The course explicitly advises against this, and if you had watched it you would have known not to order a product with zero demand. Furthermore, if you had utilised my support and experience, I would have immediately advised you not to proceed.

- I don't understand your first comment - the course's support does not come with a callback option, but ignoring that, you never tried to schedule one with me. We have never had contact before this week.

- I do not have a team. Support is provided to members by me, and you can see from my 300+ other 5-star reviews that I respond to all messagesquickly and personally. I replied to all of your emails this week very quickly (some of which were at 5am when I was up with my newborn).

It's quite ironic that you say 'I would obtain Amazno FBA material for Youtube for absolutely free', yet the reason your product did not succeed is because you did not watch the materials in the course (most importantly, none of the product research verification + research modules), nor did you ever reach out to me for help at ANY point.

I hope others reading this can see from my reviews that I absolutely do have all of my members' backs should they ever need it, and the course uses my 5 years of experience to provide a high level of value that cannot be gleaned from Youtube.

Despite your aggression to me via email, I STILL offered to review your listing AND help you with any support that you might require with your e-commerce ventures off of Amazon, something beyond my remit but offered by me as I simply want things to work out for you.

I pride myself on providing all of my members with the best learning experience possible, so I hope Mashal's comments are taken by other readers with a pinch of salt, as they are not true whatsoever.
