Are you wondering whether selling Halloween-related stuff is even worth it this year? Well, Stephen and Rebecca are here to tell you that not only is it worth it, but it can also be a profitable opportunity! In today's episode, Stephen and Rebecca talk about some spooky, exciting, and awesome things you can do to grow your Amazon FBA business in the days leading up to Halloween.

In today's episode, they discuss the three main categories that are the most profitable and help you navigate pricing both before and after Halloween sales. With Halloween being a holiday that rakes in over 8.8 billion dollars a year, make sure you're listening to find out ways you can get a slice of that pie!

To remain competitive in the Amazon marketplace, it is imperative that you are constantly reassessing the pricing of your inventory. While some Amazon sellers choose to adjust their prices manually from time to time, Amazon sellers who are focused on achieving long-term success would rather rely on an automatic repricer to update their prices to remain competitive. The success of an automatic repricer depends solely on correctly setting up the right repricing rules.

In this episode, Stephen and Rebecca weigh the pros and cons of a free repricing option like Amazon's Automate Pricing tool, and Stephen shares why the tool he recommends is a paid tool called BQool. He also has some great tips and tricks for optimizing prices and has a free podcast perk for listeners, so make sure not to miss this episode!

In this episode, we dive into the buy and hold strategy, which is basically buying products now in order to hold them to sell at a point in the near or distant future. Sometimes a reseller will find an item that is not profitable now (or that could be even more profitable in the future) and might be tempted to buy the items now to sell them some time down the road.

Maybe you found an out-of-season item that might be profitable when it comes in season, or maybe you found a product you know will be harder to find 9 months from now (and therefore might be worth more to sell later)... so is buying and holding the best strategy to maximize your profits? We'll discuss all the pros and cons of this buy and hold strategy today on The Full-Time FBA Show.

Today, Stephen interviews Dylan Frost from The Wholesale Formula. Dylan, together with his business partner Dan Meadors, has achieved impressive results and is now teaching others the secrets to his success. Dylan shares how Dan first introduced him to wholesale on Amazon and how he soon felt confident enough to leave his day job, which was becoming increasingly unfulfilling. Dylan discusses how their formula differs from the traditional approach, the steps newcomers should take to get started, what kind of time you should be prepared to invest in the early days, and why it can be as simple as finding one good wholesale account to potentially change your life!
