One Simple Trick to Save Money on Books on Amazon

Do you ever buy books from Amazon? If you do, you’ll definitely want to check out this tip!

One Simple Trick to Save a Lot of Money on Books on Amazon

Did you know that you can save a lot of money by not buying books directly from Amazon, but instead buying them from sellers on Amazon?

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to Amazon and search for whatever book you’re interested in buying. I used my book Money-Making Mom as an example (it comes out in paperback next week!).

2. Once you’re pulled up the book on Amazon, look underneath the Hardcover or Paperback options for New & Used options that are less expensive. These are from companies and individuals who sell books and other products through Amazon. (You can read more about how the Fulfillment By Amazon program works and how you can become a seller here.)

3. Click on the New & Used options and it will pull up a page with a list of other pricing options from individual sellers on Amazon. In most cases — except for obscure or out-of-print books — there are usually at least 5-7 options here. Often, the pricing starts as low as $0.99.

4. Choose whichever seller you want to buy from and add it to your cart and go to checkout. By taking this simple extra step, you’ll usually save at least $5-$8 per book!

A Few Things to Note:

Look at the Seller’s Reviews — Make sure that whichever seller you’re planning to buy from has great reviews. I try to stick with sellers with at least a 95% positive rating or more.

Calculate Shipping Costs — While a book might be just $0.99, it may cost $3.99 to ship it to you. Be sure that the cost of the book + shipping is less than buying it new from Amazon directly. Also, because it’s not being shipping directly by Amazon, it may take up to a few weeks to receive it. Look at how long the estimated shipping time will be before buying to make sure you’re okay with the timeframe.

Check the Condition of the Book — Some of the books are used, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Each book says the condition in the description. I’ve purchased this way and gotten books that are definitely gently used. If you’re planning to give the book as a gift, this might not be a risk you want to take.

Overall, I’ve had a very good experience with ordering books this way. It’s a great way to make your Swagbucks credit go further and for me to support my love of books while not spending much money on them!

As you probably could tell from my Income Report Post yesterday, building a thriving blog that earns a part-time or full-time income is no simple task. It requires a lot of work, a lot of experimentation, and a lot of failure.

So many aspiring bloggers struggle to turn their blog into a thriving, successful business because they try to do it alone.

Here's the thing: You can be successful all by yourself, but it will be a lot harder and a lot lonelier.

Early on, I discovered that the best way for me to grow my blog was to sit at the feet of those who were ahead of me and soak up their wisdom. To this day, one of the most effective ways for me to learn anything is to find someone who has already done it and learn from their mistakes and successes.

I Want to Be Your Mentor & Cheerleader!

More than anything, I want to see you succeed. I want to teach you the lessons I've learned from failure and success, share secrets I've uncovered for building traffic and monetizing your blog, give you encouragement and motivation for when you're feeling exhausted and burnt out, and provide accountability and cheerleading to help you live out the purpose for which you were created.

That is why — for the first time ever — I'm inviting you to join me and a group of other bloggers for a private 4-Week Blog Coaching Program. This program is for you if you are:

  • A newbie blogger who wants to learn how to monetize your blog, produce consistent and inspiring content, and grow your readership.
  • An intermediate blogger who wants real, actionable advice to help you increase your income and develop a more effective social media strategy, all while having a great work-life balance.
  • Any blogger who is stuck in a blogging rut and paralyzed by the overwhelming noise of advice from "online experts" — who wants clarity and tangible steps to move forward and reach their blogging goals.

This is NOT another blogging eCourse where you absorb tons of information, but have no way to actually turn the information into real, applicable steps.

This is an opportunity to interact with me and a network of like-minded bloggers and get answers to the pressing questions that matter to you and your business.

In this coaching group, you'll…

  • Get direct access to me via our weekly LIVE 1-hour online workshop where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the topics you are struggling with the most.
  • Interact with me and other bloggers in the daily discussion threads designed to help you set and meet your goals, find accountability, develop friendships, and network with other bloggers.
  • Learn how to increase your income through affiliate marketing, advertising, sponsored posts, brand partnerships, and digital & physical product creation.
  • Develop an intentional social media strategy that boosts your traffic, generates revenue, and builds long-term momentum.
  • Discover proven techniques for planning and writing successful blog posts that are engaging and compelling for your audience.
  • Design an effective overall plan for significant email list growth and long-lasting relationships and trust with your subscriber base.
  • Create a manageable and realistic system for daily blogging tasks and to-do's that allows you to have sustainable work-life balance.

Are you ready to break out of your blogging funk and create a lucrative blogging business?

Don't waste any more time trying to reinvent the wheel! I want to hand you the tools you need to build a thriving, successful blog without the frustration of trying to figure it all out on your own.

Hurry! Registration ends TONIGHT at midnight!
