In a previous post, I discussed Dan Lok’s High Ticket Closer Program, where I hinted at my plan to venture into Amazon FBA as an additional income stream.
Today, I’m excited to reveal how I embarked on this journey, guided by Youngjoon Sun’s Amazon FBA Mastermind.
He is the one who gave me insights into mastering the wholesale method for Amazon FBA selling.
However, it’s important to note that while Amazon FBA offers a fantastic business opportunity, it might not be the right fit for everyone.
If you’re under the impression that it’s a simple, effortless endeavor requiring minimal time and effort, I must clarify – this business demands a comprehensive grasp of the process, unwavering perseverance, and a proactive approach.
In fact, for those without prior experience, it can feel quite challenging and perplexing.
But fear not, as long as you’re genuinely committed and willing to put in the effort, learning, and consistent action, success is attainable.
Young’s coaching can be your guiding light, propelling you towards accomplishment.
The beauty is that your geographical location holds no sway over your potential to thrive in this endeavor.
Whether you’re situated halfway around the world or in your hometown, the possibilities are within reach…
How it all started…
So, before I got contacted on Facebook messenger by Young, I was just getting my Shopify business off the ground.
Things were going decently at that point.
The screenshot you see below shows that I have been making sales for just over a month since I started.
To be honest with you, Shopify Dropshipping is a great business model that I personally like.
The main issue I had with it is that the advertisement fees can become quite expensive, especially in the beginning.
So let me break down how it works for you in a nutshell:
Basically what I was doing was setting up a store, uploading images/inventory using the Shopify Oberlo app, and advertising the store on Facebook…
Then whenever someone makes a purchase I would go to Aliexpress, purchase that same product at a lower cost, have it shipped out to the customer, and then keep the difference in profit.
It’s quite a simple process once you have the proper education and guidance, and have money to advertise and buy those products from Aliexpress.
And just so you know, I learned most of what I know about selling on Shopify by following a guy called Kevin David.
So having said all that, let us now get back to YoungJoon Sun’s Amazon FBA wholesale coaching…
First of all, it’s good for you to know that there are other ways besides Young’s method for you to sell on Amazon…
Private Labeling
You can choose to do private labeling – this is where you buy a product directly from a manufacturer and have them place your own logo/label on it.
This method is also more widely taught by many Gurus out there, and I can tell you that this is the most expensive method of selling on Amazon, with some courses on the market selling for almost $4000 US dollars, and inventory costing at least $2K + shipping.
Retail Arbitrage and Online Arbitrage
You can choose to do retail arbitrage – this is where you find low-priced items in retail stores such as Walmart, then flip them for a profit on Amazon.com
Then you have online arbitrage, which is basically retail arbitrage – but strictly online.
Both these two arbitrage methods are less expensive to get into, however, it is not a long-term business strategy, plus there are many risks associated with it that can get your account suspended by Amazon.

Is Youngjoon providing support?
Yes, YoungJoon does provide support.
Whenever time I have a question and reach out to him, he has never failed to provide an answer.
He is available on Facebook Messenger and Skype and we have also spoken on the phone.
It is encouraging and reassuring to know he is there whenever support is needed.
He also ensures that he provides me with the right tools and resources needed to succeed with this method of selling on Amazon.
What I like/don’t like about YoungJoon’s Coaching.
In this section, I will discuss the things that I like and also the things that I dislike about Youngjoon’s coaching.
First I will list what I like:
- His teaching is clear, to the point, and simple to understand
- He provides real-time one-on-one support via FB messenger, Skype, or phone
- He provides over 4 methods on how to find legitimate and authorized brand name suppliers
- He provides expert advice on how to un-gate certain brands on Amazon which result in less competition.
Now, here are some of the things that I do not necessarily like.
This is not a fault of YoungJoon, but just a real truth about this FBA model of selling on Amazon.
It is not a fast method to start earning money online.
For me, it took over two months before I got my first winning product shipped over to Amazon’s Warehouse.
It takes a lot of time to research, find, and create a list of authorized distributors/suppliers to contact. (Young recommends a list of 200 supplies to start)
What’s also important to understand is that you are building relationships with these companies/people so that you can potentially get the best and lowest price deal possible.
This is by far the most frustrating part for me so far in this business.
That is why I will be outsourcing this part of the business and making sure to maintain a positive mindset along with patience.
This is key to the success that I am projecting for the coming months and years ahead.
And one other thing…
Youngjoon Sun’s mother tongue isn’t English, so in the beginning, I found his grammar a bit difficult to understand as well as his spelling.
I had to call him on several occasions to clarify what he was saying in a particular video.
Just giving you a heads-up here so that you will know what to expect if you were to let him coach you personally.
Do I Recommend Youngjoon’s Coaching?
I do recommend Youngjoons’s coaching to anyone who wants to be successful with the Amazon FBA business using the wholesale method.

Young is a patient, honest, and detailed coach who provides in-depth training, resources, and support.
I am happy that he reached out to help.

He has never left me alone since I started my journey and I would encourage you to follow his advice, especially if you want to earn real profits as an Amazon seller.
Conclusion
If you have been through Youngjoon’s coaching like myself, It would be helpful if you also shared your experience so that others will be able to learn about your journey and see if it is for them or not.

I am currently enrolled in his course and although I haven’t discovered a winning product just yet, I’ve been exploring alternative methods that complement his teachings to enhance my chances of finding a successful product. I’m optimistic that I’m nearing a breakthrough in identifying a promising product, and I appreciate the valuable information and advice he has provided during the course. Additionally, I’ve been supplementing my learning with resources from YouTube, recognizing the importance of putting in extra effort beyond the course to stay updated with current trends.
Hello Jason,
Thanks to you and all those who have commented on this blog. I learned a lot from it. I am a new Amazon seller haven’t sold anything yet though. I joined many amazon related facebook groups as part of my research. As a result,
I was contacted by one of Youngjoon Sun’s students and she introduced me to Youngjoon Sun’s wholesale brandname products on Amazon FBA course. The price for which is $3000 US for 1 year support. Can you tell what is your opinion on pricing? Do you think its worth it? Is there any other way I should build up some capital and then join his coaching course?
Hi Huma, thank you for reaching out here.
The $3000 price is substantial.
However, if you do have the funds to invest, then go for it because Young provides one on one mentorship to all his students.
Keep in mind that you also need funds to purchase products from the suppliers.
Jason
Hey thanks for sharing your experience, Hyunah. The Amazon FBA model is getting more and more challenging each and every year but is still very profitable.
You can also look into other online business models if it’s not for you.
All the best.
Hello, and I apologize in advance if you covered this somewhere, but what do you think of Kevin David’s courses. I know you mentioned the Shopify store but I am looking at the Amazon course. Do you have any thoughts?
Hi Dan,
Kevin’s courses have been found to be fake and the FTC has clamped down on his business.
He has basically lost all his credibility.
In the past he used to focus on the private labels model which is not the method that YoungJoon teaches.
Hello, Jason,
Thanks for writing this blog. Are you still progressing in this selling project?
I was approached by a student of Young Sun. Nice guy. After a pleasant conversation, he got my attention with this resale online business model.
After watching Young Sun videos, I thought if that is something I could do while living outside USA and being a non-citizen?
Another concern – How to validate if the suppliers are authorized to sell the branded products on Amazon. As well as how to validate, if the product I will buy from them won’t trigger a counterfeit reaction to pull down my listing from Amazon, if anyone would send a complaint?
The third concern is how to validate if the supplier’s are not selling damaged packages or obsolete (out of shelves) products?
My last question is how different this business is from buying the stock from liquidation auction, sorting, fixing and reselling it? Don’t you think some of the suppliers might be using this method to get their supplies at cheaper costs?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Marius
Hi Marius,
Thanks for your message, and I appreciate your patience.
Currently, I’ve diversified my focus to include the Affiliate Marketing business model while maintaining a presence in the Amazon selling model.
To address your questions:
1. Yes, you can engage in this business regardless of your location. Young’s course comprehensively covers how to navigate this.
2. Young’s course delves into the details of your concerns, and he also offers private assistance.
It’s a lucrative venture, and one of the main challenges I’ve encountered is sourcing reliable suppliers.
Feel free to explore both models for a more diversified income stream.
Best regards,
Jason
Thanks Jason. No worries. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.
Kind regards,
Marius
Thank you, Marius.
We are all doing great and being grateful for that.
All the best to you and your loved ones.
Jason
Great advice. I agree, and dropshipping is definitely the way forward to the future.
Yes, thats correct. Also along with my favorite affiliate marketing.
Just wanted to say your review & your replies to the comments/questions have been insightful, professional, and helpful in making my decision to join Youngjoon Sun coaching program. Thank you for taking the time to write this. It is appreciated.
Hi Jasmin,
I appreciate your comment here.
I think you have made a good decision to join Youngjoon Sun. Just take action on what you learn and you will be successful with this business model.
Feel free to reach out if you need to.
Kindest regards,
Jason
Hey JV,
Thanks for stopping by to ask your question.
Since you’re not new to selling on Amazon and is already earning a consistent income, I don’t think Youngjoon will be the coach to help you.
Beau Crabill’s course goes into more advanced selling using the online retail method.
See if it’s right for you. He covers topics such as Selling in international Markets and Multi-Channel Fulfillment which will help you to scale.
Young is charging $950 for his course and coaching.
I hope this helps you and let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Jason
Hello Jason,
I appreciate your honest review and insight into Youngjoon Sun and his coaching. Like you and a few others who have left comments on here, I too was contacted by Young Sun via Facebook messenger after joining an Amazon FBA group. I’ve been doing my research and due diligence on several different coaching/courses for a little over a month now. I was just watching a 1 hour video of his about making money with Amazon FBA and I was pretty hyped about the few nuggets of information I learned just watching that video (looking up the ranking of a product & finding out how many units a month that product is is selling in said category) and I think I’m ready to take the plunge, and finding your review of the coaching/course just reaffirmed my thinking. Thank you for posting this review, very helpful information. I wish you continued success on your Amazon FBA journey and many blessings along the way.
Hi Luis,
You’re welcome. I’m happy to know that you’ve decided to start your FBA business. The method is really a good model and many successful sellers are using this strategy.
All the very best to you as we get ready for 2019!
Hi Sukar,
Thank you for dropping by to ask your question.
Since I did not personally go through the Udemy course that you mentioned, I am not able to give you any comments on it.
If I enroll in the course I would be happy to share my experience.
Thanks.
I would appreciate if you could enroll and provide your feedback. As you have already done couple of Amazon FBA courses, you can easily complete this course within a day. Moreover the price is almost negligible
Sukar, I appreciate your suggestion, however, I won’t be enrolling with that course at this time – it is not on my list of things to do.
As I said, if I enroll in the future, I will review it on this blog.
Thanks.
-Jason
Hi Sukar, I am not sure if you have already enrolled in the Udemy course you speak of but I thought I’d let you know that I have done this course last year, around November.
If you have any questions I’m happy to help. I will say this, however, after this course, I also purchased the course by JT Franco & Nicholas Bosch – Amazon FBA Empire Academy, and I’m still here looking around for something that hits home with me.
Both courses, both teach Private Labelling business model & like all, offer access to an exclusive members Facebook page. The Empire Academy course offers email support too.
As I live in Australia, the time delay between responses can be really frustrating, not to their fault, just a logistical thing really.
I am after more consistent and convenient mentoring, like Skype or phone option. Email assistance is a good idea if you have time, but if your’e like me…time is of the essence…always!
Hi Carrie,
I’m so glad to have come across your comment. I’ve been thinking about purchasing JT Franco and Nicholas Bosch’s FBA course, but I still have not quite made up my mind just yet. Would you mind sharing your review on the course (is it the same to what they refer to as the ‘boot camp’ as well?)? How useful has the course been for you? How much success have you had since you received the course and joined in the Empire Academy? Thank you much and hope I’ll be hearing from you.
Hey Jason, Young Joon wrote me on Facebook and wanted to know how my previous experience in FBA and whether I’m interested in a functioning system. But I am always curious about why someone like him is communicating with someone like me or us. He is saying there are Products which has a potential of a 9K Profit per month. So he could just do his thing and get fkn rich but instead, he is teaching his methods and maybe “losing” some kind of products and money through that.
So does anybody could explain to me the reason for that?
Kind regards
Hey Moritz,
Thank you for reaching out with your question and point of view.
I used to wonder the same thing you are wondering so I can understand what you mean.
The thing is that this is what any entrepreneur or business person will do when they find a method which works for them. They will then share that same method with others and usually charge a fee for their services which adds to their income stream.
It’s quite normal in this industry.
The method which he teaches is legitimate and is the oldest form of selling online or offline.
You don’t need to take his coaching, however, I am just letting you know that the method which he teaches does work and he is not the only one who teaches it.
I hope I have helped to answer your question. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
-Jason
hello, are you being paid as an affilite for promoting this guy here ?
Cameron, thanks for your question.
No, I am not being paid to promote Youngjoon Sun.
This is an honest review of his course, based on my personal experience.
Hey Jason,
I share a similar story to you. I first started off with Shopify drop-shipping, but Facebook ads and advertising in general just became super expensive and I ended up selling both of my stores.
The effort I was investing nowhere equaled the effort that I constantly put in, so it no longer became worth the loss of money I was starting to experience.
I ran across an ad for Amazon FBA and it quickly caught my attention. After further research, I started a seller account.
In my first month, I have already generated over $300 via the private labeling method from only purchasing a small order of products from Alibaba. Yesterday, I joined a sellers Facebook group and Young Sun reached out to me.
I have watched multiple of his videos, and I see how wholesale brand name products is a very effective way to sell products through Amazon.
I am struggling with this though: I have already built on knowledge of how private labeling works and have garnered a small amount of success, but am also interested in investing my time and money into brand name selling on Amazon.
Do you have advice on which one to do? Do I continue to build on my private labeling success, or do I just drop that and jump onto selling brand name products on Amazon?
Best regards,
Alexander
Hi Alexander,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your story.
Both private labeling and selling wholesale brand name products are proven ways of selling on Amazon.
I wouldn’t suggest you just drop PL abruptly…you may want to put one foot into the wholesale method and compare to see if it is the best option for you before switching over.
Personally, I see the online retail method as a less risky method of selling on Amazon and following a good mentor like Youngjoon who knows this business model inside-out is a smart move.
When I do the comparison between both, my recommendation is going with the retail/wholesale method as a more long-term, sustainable business strategy.
Furthermore, you won’t be emotionally attached to the products that you sell because they are not your personal brand. Also, no need to spend money on Ads, waiting weeks for your products to be shipped from China, PL certificate, barcodes, etc.
Honestly, I see it as a better model but you decide what’s best for you.
-Jason
I really appreciate your sharing and i will very happy if i can follow you on facebook
No problem Tony. Yes, you can follow me on facebook. I will do whatever I can to help you out in business.
Hi Jason,
After reading all this and having tried everything in every way to start an online business, you can imagine just like all the rest of the stories here where I stand.
I too am looking for an online business to start and have been duped several times. Not only that like you mentioned above some are thousands of dollars to start.
I just want to know since you started, where do you stand now and how successful have you been since then? How are your sales? do you still connect with Young Sun? How many hours a day did you put in when you started and how many do you put in now?
I can’t just quit my day job and start expecting to make an income right away. this will help give me an idea of what to expect to accomplish in a said period of time.
Hey Gus,
I do understand where you stand and I was in the very same position when I started my online business back in 2014. Didn’t know where to go nor who to trust.
It can be really frustrating, but once you find the right ethical people online who knows about business, then this will set you up for success.
As it relates to my Amazon FBA business – it is coming along quite steady.
The products which I have sourced are making multiple sales each day and the good thing is that I know before I buy the product that it will make profits.
I still do connect with Young Sun. In fact, we have a phone call set up for today.
When I just got started in this Amazon FBA business, it took many many hours to get it all set up properly.
The hardest part for me was creating the list of suppliers, sending out emails and making phone calls to develop business relationships.
However, I find that the more I did these things, the easier it becomes.
Still…I am not an expert as yet and have a lot more to learn in this biz.
I do still put in as much time as is required to do what I have to do to make this a success. It is not like I say that I will do 2 hours and stop…I have to keep going to get more results.
As it relates to your last point about quitting your day job. I would not suggest you do that at all!
You will not make income right away. That would be naive to think.
What you have to do is make sure that you have the capital to invest in products and training.
But most important of all, you have to have the right positive mindset.
You have to expect that it is not easy. That there is a lot of work to be done before you will be able to get your first profitable product that fits the right criteria.
And I would also suggest that you not only depend on one source of income.
I have multiple sources of income because I never know which income stream can dry up at any time, plus it just makes life much better for me.
Consider doing affiliate marketing following a legit training or do some Shopify Dropshipping, but expect to pay the high cost of Facebook ads if choose to do the second option.
Feel free to contact me via email here if you need my help.
I wish you all the very best as you start your online business.
Hi Jason,
I actually was approached by YoungJoon as well. From your reviews, I find that his coaching could be very useful to me. But before I march ahead into the sunset, I would love to know how much he charged you for his coaching. As well, what is the start up capital you needed to get the first winning product over on Amazon?
Thanks,
Jay
Hi Jay,
Thank you for reaching out…
I initially secured YoungJoon’s private coaching at a discounted rate; however, the price has been adjusted over the years to reflect the increased value provided.
For startup capital, it depends…I would say you want to have at least $500 and then reinvest as you start making profits.
Most important thing is that you treat this as a business which it is.
I hope this helps you out.
-Jason
How much money does he actually make from his FBA business? I have watched his YouTube video’s and he’s very vague. Is he making $3k/mo, $30k/mo or $300k/mo? He doesn’t really show any screen shots of his Seller account or any real stats. He seems like people should just take his word?? Really??
Hey Tony, thanks for stopping by to ask your question.
I have no way of knowing how much money Young Sun earns from his FBA business and this is quite frankly none of my business.
However, I can tell you is that I have been able to leverage his knowledge and experience to now propel my business.
I am working on my second shipment as we speak 🙂
The point is that what he earns or doesn’t earn, does not affect what my business earns – I am using his personal coaching & support to my advantage.
