I learned the hard way that the fundamentals of selling books on Amazon are the most important lesson that you can learn. When I first started, I winged it. I would haphazardly list books that I had around the house, textbooks that friends would give me, and just about any other kind of book you can think of. I even listed some for a penny and lost my shirt on some books!
These are ways that I personally want to learn. I will be happy to lose a little money upfront and chalk it up to the training if it will teach me something but you do not need it. I will explain the five fundamental principles that I have finally come to see after a few months of flailing around not knowing which direction to go when selling books on Amazon.
