Is AZ Code A Scam Or Will You Earn $500K?

The AZ Code, which is an obvious abbreviation for The Amazon Code, founded in March 2018 is a 80 page eBook teaching you how to get the best out of Amazon's FBA Program and sell successfully on amazon while sourcing your products from China.

The overall process of Amazon FBA (Fulfilment By Amazon) can be described as dropshipping using Amazon as you are taking full advantage of Amazon's supply chain management. 

The whole process is pretty simple to understand:

1. Research and select a product for selling on amazon
2. Source your suppliers from manufacturers in China using Alibaba
3. Bulk Order your products at the wholesale manufacturer's price
4. Ship your product to your nearest Amazon FBA Fulfilment Center
5. List your product on your site, Amazon an eBay if you wish
6. Integrate your site and eBay to amazon FBA so all orders and managed by Amazon's FBA service. 
7. Market and promote your product
8. Let Amazon handle and manage the rest of the process of packing, shipping, returns and customer service.

The video below (by Amazon) explains clearly what Amazon FBA is. 

Amazon Affiliate Vs Amazon FBA

When you watch the sales video on the website, the voice over person is telling you that the AZ Code is a push button system that helps you to earn US$40,000 per month as an affiliate with amazon. 

But, 

The product when you buy it is teaching something completely different that has nothing to do with being an amazon affiliate whatsoever!. 

The actual product is about amazon FBA, which couldn't be more different. With Amazon FBA you are the product seller, the merchant, the vendor selling your products on amazon's marketplace. 

As an amazon affiliate (actually know as amazon associate) you are the salesman (or woman) promoting and selling other peoples products in exchange for a commission. 

Thus the question arises...

Does the creator of The AZ Code know what they are doing? 

clearly they are mistaking the two and as they say in my country ..."Don't know their backside from their elbow!"

Let's have a sneeky look at what you get with The AZ Code ebook. Unlucky for some let's have a look at the first 13 of 22 chapters: 

• Chapter 1: Ideas And Strategies
• Chapter 2: The Validation Of your idea
• Chapter 3: Creating Your Brand
• Chapter 4: VIP Elements Of Creating a Brand
• Chapter 5: Packaging Branding and Design
• Chapter 6: Your Minimum Viable Product
• Chapter 7: The Technical Flow Of Your Own Amazon Product
• Chapter 8: Connecting with Your Suppliers In China
• Chapter 9: Deciding On A Single Supplier
• Chapter 10: Terminology And Technicalities Of Private Labeling
• Chapter 11: Communicating with Your Suppliers
• Chapter 12: Fine Tuning Your Company For Success
• Chapter 13: Determining Your MOQ (Minimum Order Quote)

As you can see this pretty complicated stuff which brings about 2 main points: 

1. You are NOT going to be "up and running in half an hour" like claimed in the sales video
2. Have a good look at the chapter titles - do you think they are going to be covered in any detail in only 4 pages on average?. 

This is really surface level information at best! Chapter 3 Creating a brand. I wrote a 10,000 word+ article on the topic and did not even come close to covering everything and have plans for further articles of similar lengths to cover more technical aspects of Personal branding and so on. 

How Much Can You Earn With Amazon FBA?

Ok, I'll be as honest as the day is long. There is a LOT of money to be made as an amazon seller and using FBA, that is if you get the right training and proper training course, not some US$37 info product.

Proper Amazon FBA Training products that dive deep into the subject and really teach it like Amazing Selling Machines is required. 

Then there are cost involved - a lot of costs, expect US$3,000 for minimum for merchandise and your Pay Per Click marketing campaigns. 

Get it right, find and sell winning product and scale up you can in reality generate the US$40,000 mentioned in revenue. 

Note that I am talking about revenue and not profit as there are a lot of costs involved. 

Also, right out the gate you won't be hitting that figure, you will be lucky to hit that in your first 2 years while you test, adjust, scale and everything else. 

How Much Can You Earn As An Amazon Affiliate?

Since the sales video talks about Amazon Affiliate and mentions US$40,000 being possible to earn. Let's see how possible that is. 

To find out how likely US$40,000 is we need to look at the amazon affiliate program and how much they pay out in commissions.

As you can see most product categories for products sold falls in the 4% band. To earn US$40,000 you would need to generate US$1,000,000 in product sales per month to earn US$40,000 per month. 

That, how to build a million dollar per month in gross revenue is not going to happen nor be taught in a US$37 eBook. 

Even if we take high commission rate of 10%, we are still talking about a US$5,000,000 business per year in gross sales. 

Now you can see just how misleading this product is either way Affiliate Marketing with amazon or Amazon FBA!.

This is something that I always check as it only takes a moment and you just never know what you can or will find. 

I have seen scams listed on the BBB website with warnings to alert the public. 

Unfortunately, there is no listing for The AZ Code, probably due to being a new site and a new scam. 

The official rating of The AZ Code would be unaccredited and not rated. 

This is a trick used by many scammers to have you believe that the product is real and works. While photos can be bought from stock image companies and video testimonials are all that bit more convincing but they are still just as fake!. 

These despicable actors are selling their souls on Fiverr!. 

Caught red handed!. Fake bought and paid for video testimonials from amazon!. 

This product will set you back US$37 as a one off fee, but if you try to leave the site you will be offered a downsell to US$27. 

There is a series of much more expensive upsells costing over US$400!. 

AZ Code is aimed for people who are interested in getting started as a seller on amazon FBA and want to run their own full on eCommerce store and have amazon manage the delivery, customer service and inventory while they focus on the management and marketing of their online store. 

In reality...

This product is for nobody due to the low quality!. 

Only two groups of people are making money with The AZ code. 

The owner for selling and the affiliates that are promoting the product. This is why you will see a lot of reviews singing the products praises from the rooftops - these are unscrupulous and unethical affiliates who will sell you anything just to make a commission.

The positive points about this product I will point out, as there were two that I could think of: 

1. It has made you aware of the possibility of making money with amazon in two distinctly different ways. 
2. ...The marketplace that sells the product comes with a 60 Day Money-Back guarantee!.

There are some things that I don't like about this product, which are: 

• Unsubstantiated and grossly exaggerated income claims
• Talks about two completely different methods - the sales video is unrelated to the actual product. 
• False testimonials!
• Unknown product owner. 
• Full of hype and hyperbole!

You can make money as an amazon affiliate and with amazon FBA, I doubt that you will make any money with what is taught in The AZ Code. 

In my opinion the AZ code is a scam. 

Some independent bloggers and reviewers are claiming that this product is not a scam. I would be happy to say that also "well you get what you paid for" or "you got something for your money";

But, 

A scam by definition of the law is when an intentional act of deception that causes a financial loss has occurred. 

Let's examine this a little closer. 

Deception: 

1. Unsubstantiated and exaggerated income claims
2. Fake video testimonials. 

Financial Loss: 

1. The purchase price of the product.

You are free to form your own opinion, scam or legit, I do believe I have presented a strong enough of a case to back up my own opinion that this indeed is a scam and even so in the eyes of the law. 

The AZ Code is without doubt a waste of your time and money. 

Both you and know that you will not learn how to build an online store or affiliate marketing in an 80+ page ebook!. 

You can make money in the digital world with Amazon, I know - because I do have some Amazon affiliate sites up an running. 

I personally reassure you that with my years of experience as an affiliate marketer you are not going to learn or earn much with The AZ Code. 

Since 2015, affiliate marketing has been my preferred way of making money and for a number of reasons: 

1. Easy to get started and very low cost!. You can get started with a FREE Website and great step-by-step training.
2. No need to create products or run an online store. 
3. No stock to manage or any suppliers either. 
4. You can work from anywhere in the world, at any time you wish.
5. You can take your business with you as your travel!. 
6. Unlimited earning - over US$5trillion is expected to be spent online per year!
7. There are approximately 4.5Bn potential clients
8. You can end up having a passive income!.

The video below explains clearly what affiliate marketing is, click play to watch. 

Affiliate marketing is fun and enjoyable. It is very satisfying for me in many different ways and not just because I get to live and travel to where I want to and when I want. 

It is also intellectually stimulating and satisfies my thirst for knowledge and curiosity as when I am curious about something I research it and build a detailed site around the topic!.

...and make make money!

Affiliate Marketing is my Number 1 recommended way for making money in the digital world both for those just starting out and those that are semi experienced. 

The reasons are pretty simple:

• No huge startup costs!
  
• No Selling face to face!
• No Stock to keep or manage!
• No huge investment involved - (Get started with a FREE TRIAL!)
• No networking or recruiting required. 
• You can operate in any market you wish! - even your hobbies & passions!
• Earn a full time income & more!. No limit to your earning potential!. 
  

In fact...

I have created and built a regular mid 4 figure passive monthly income and fully enjoy a life of travel to where I want and when I want. With no boss to answer to and zero annoying co-workers I completely enjoy life and work when I choose to.

This is all thanks to Affiliate Marketing!
