I'll walk you step-by-step through the entire process of building a highly successful Amazon business.
I've been selling on Amazon since 2014 and turned it into my full-time income.
But I didn't stop there.
I built a community of over 10,000 Canadian Amazon entrepreneurs to support each others success.
I'm also an expert an all things Amazon FBA and a Best Selling Author on the subject too (Here's my best selling ebook)
I've coached thousands of people over the years and have been instrumental in generating millions of dollars in sales.
In this course, I show you step-by-step how to turn part time hours into a full time income as a Canadian selling on Amazon.
The Seller Academy Masterclass teaches you everything you need to build a highly successful Amazon FBA business.
Let's Talk Dreams
Back in 2014, I was struggling to support my family of four. The business I'd started was failing and I needed a way to make money....FAST.
After spending days searching for opportunities, I became discouraged as most were obvious scams and snake oil pushed by slick marketers and fake gurus.
Until one day, when I received an email about selling on Amazon.
I wasn't even aware a person could do that. Especially in Canada.
I researched further, registered for an account and sent in a few used textbooks to "test" the concept. When I turned those old books into a few hundred dollars profit, I knew I'd found gold.
So I went all in. And just six short months later, made Amazon my full-time income.
FUN GOALS: I love Teslas. So does the rest of my family. We all drive Teslas! We even charge them FREE using solar power. How cool is that?
Lifestyle Goals: Amazon allowed my family to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world (Vancouver Island). It's also EXPENSIVE here and I couldn't have done it without my Amazon business. Just look at that view (and see the baby deer in the background next to my sons tent as he camped in the back yard)
Look at that sunset!
Disclaimer
If you're one of the 5% who only cares about easy ways to make money on Amazon without effort, or is lookig for a way to get rich quickly, I do not want to help you and I refuse to do so, because the fact of the matter is you're not an entrepreneur. If you're not willing to put forth risk and effort into your Amazon business, you're not really an entrepreneur. By sheer definition, an entrepreneur is someone who takes risk. There's no risk in opening an Amazon account and watching free YouTube videos. Basically what you are is a freeloader. The fact of the matter is, I don't want to help you and I ask that you don't purchase my course.
We just had our best month ever with $15,000 USD in sales...

Why Amazon FBA?
Amazon allows you to work from anywhere with an internet connection and you can build business that can be scaled as large as you like.
They handle all of the customer support, shipments, returns and warehousing for you. You never have to see or touch packing tape or drive to the post office yourself. This can be a 100% hands off semi-passive income.
You can literally start with zero experience and build a massively successful Amazon business with my help.
While selling on Amazon isn't a get rich quick scheme and there are no guarantees of success (as in any business), with my step-by-step guidance and proven strategies you WILL get results.
VALUE
You don't need to endure the costly mistakes, frustrations and wasted time because I've already gone through it for you.
Your life could change dramatically
Just visualize with me for a moment.
What would your day look like if you didn't have to drive to and from a job every day?
Would you buy a new house? A new car? Take your friends/family on a luxury vacation while your Amazon business continues to make money?
How would it feel waking up each day and not having to rush out the door?
What kind of a difference could you make if you had the money to allow you to pursue your dreams and support causes that are important to you?
Imagine the relationship you could have with your partner and your family if you were able to be there for them, and never have to worry about money again?
You've already paid your dues in life, and it's time to get the payback!
But....
If You Do Nothing....
Nothing Happens.
Time Is Of The Essence.
If you've made it this far, you've already taken a massive step forward.
The next step?
Action.
Action is the key to success in a world full of dreamers and armchair observers.
Success Stories:
I registered my business and joined Amazon in June of this year. Had my first and only sale with FBM in June to test out the market while I’m waiting for my FBA items to become active. Had my first FBA sale in July mainly doing OA and RA while I was waiting for wholesale suppliers to give me approval to sell their products. FYI, I’m not approved to sell any products on gated categories. The rest is history. I just hit 100k and sales yesterday and just got ungated to sell toys today and still waiting to get ungated on grocery and topicals. - Empoy L.
I call this day and also this weekend the happiest and best being an Amazon seller....even when I'm tired after my full time job.... I'm learning how to automize my business
"Hope you are doing well. I know you dont know every single student but I am a part of your seller academy. Ive been selling FBA for the past 4 months doing just RA/OA and I hit my first 5k in September. I sell only on .ca" -Rakhee M.

Testimonials:
Teren Chan I'm also selling in US and found this helpful, lots of information.
And Duncan, thanks for creating this.....
Renee Els Buys I’ve been wanting to start selling on Amazon.ca for a couple of months now but can’t seem to find the courage to just take the leap. Joined.... to hopefully find the some inspiration to stop procrastinating and just get going😬
Tayyaab Tanveer I've been following now for the better part of this quarter. I've started with the basics such as RA and now I'm moving on to sourcing - bigger and better just got one of my largest shipments today :)
Megan Christina Everyone is so kind in responses to questions. Great learning.....
Fari Faran This .... is awesome with very helpful knowledgeable people where I am learning each day.... thanks Duncan
Rebecca Horman I love how quickly questions get answered!
Lori Kristen Miller Hey! first, welcome everyone!!
What I like .....is Duncan's involvement helping out and pitching in as well as everyone else. It's so supportive with even the smallest beginning questions!
Nick Vlismas The knowledge .... is priceless
Andrew Moorey Always great to see the answers to unique Amazon challenges. No one else really understands the business so it's great to be part of the community.
Ana G. Robillard Congrats! I found you by searching! And thank God because i have so many quesrions.....I can have my answers. Really good vibe too!
Evelyn Townsend I was trying to find a Canadian version of everything I was reading online about Amazon sellers. Duncan was the first and so far only one to give a Canadian perspective – and more than that accurate information. I also appreciate how the group will help when someone has an issue. Thanks Duncan!
Sanson Paul Found you on YouTube. So good to find a fellow Canadian. Thanks for all you do.
Jill Conyers It great that’s it’s for Canadians, but the best thing is the positive nature of the group. You don’t need to be afraid of asking “dumb” questions, as you’re not going to get torn apart (as can happen on some other groups).
Rebbecca Madge I love your story and ideally that’s my goal, leave my salary job and do FBA full time!
Frequently Asked Questions
"I can’t thank you enough. I was worried about launching my business in Q1 but it turned out to be a smashing success! Your course was the best money ever spent. When I last emailed you a couple weeks ago my sales were just over $1,500/week. Not bad for just starting out. Now not even 2 weeks into February my sales have skyrocketed to $5K per week with Valentines Day sales leading the way. This is building way faster than I could ever expected and I’m truly struggling to balance this with my day job. Thanks so much once again!!" -Chuck
"Duncan and his group have been instrumental in my success in selling on .CA. So much useful information from everyone. Just starting with some wholesale accounts." - Bruno B
