MARKETPLACE SUPERHEROES Review: Selling Physical Products on Amazon FBA

Time ago I made a decision to start an online business. I wasn’t then yet sure what exactly it would be, but I had a few different ideas in mind. After having given it some thought, I decided to go with Amazon FBA. For those of you that don’t know, Amazon FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) is about selling physical products through the Amazon platform. You can read more about my decision-making process here.

Based on previous experience, I knew it would be silly to start a new business without a coach, course or a mentor to guide me. Getting into something new, especially into something that can cost you a lot of money, without having prior experience is a recipe for failure. As a result, after spending weeks on research, I finally invested in the Marketplace SuperHeroes course (MPSH). 

Marketplace SuperHeroes Review

Getting ahead of myself, I want to say that deciding to invest in this course was the right decision. Not only does the course teach what its authors promise, but it also has prevented me from losing A LOT of money. But I will get into more details of that a little later on.

The authors

The authors of this course are two Irish entrepreneurs, Robert Rickey and Stephen Somers.

The first time I came across Stephen was about a year prior to purchasing this course. I saw an interview with him on Youtube, and I already then liked the manner in which he talked about the Amazon FBA business. It was simple and easy to understand.

Robert, the second author, has a rich history of importing and exporting goods, and he is a co-founder of multiple companies. He also was Stephen’s mentor at first.

The combined experience of this duo makes the course very rich. The fact that Marketplace SuperHeroes has two authors gives the lessons taught in the course a wider angle. You get two different people with two different backgrounds and experiences sharing two different sets of opinions. This really makes it stand out from some of the other courses that are led by only one person.

How MPSH is different from all the rest

Price

As I already mentioned, I knew that I needed someone to teach me all the details of selling online using Amazon FBA. As I searched for courses, I was surprised to find out that some of them cost thousands of dollars. At that moment it was not affordable for me, and, to be honest, was a crazy price to pay for such a course in the first place.

Apart from hearing a lot of good about Marketplace SuperHeroes, I also found it to be the cheapest Amazon FBA course out there.

The concept

If you read about what the majority of courses about Amazon FBA teach, you will find that they all talk about finding products in a competitive niche, and then building an entire brand around them. Yep, you read that right!

Apart from spending a lot of time and money on building a brand, you will need to spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on pay-per-click (PPC) advertising in order to compete against other competitive products. You would also need to create a website to advertise your products outside of Amazon. It’s a lot of work.

Having a blog of my own, I can honestly tell you that it’s not easy having a website that you care about and constantly work on. The idea of making one or more websites to promote my products sounded like nothing I would want to go through. I was more than happy with having just one single website – this blog.

However, I was curious to see some of those websites people were making to promote their products. Some I found to be decent, but the majority of them were quite ugly, to be honest.

I don’t know, I might be wrong. Maybe those types of websites do help drive traffic to Amazon, but from the perspective of a consumer and as a web developer by profession, I would say that websites like that would not motivate me into buying any of their products. On the contrary, they would drive me away.

Marketplace SuperHeroes, on the other hand, has a whole different philosophy. Robert and Stephen advise to find products that have been around for ages, that have always sold in the past and will always sell in the future. And instead of paying thousands of dollars and fighting for a spot amongst the most competitive products out there, they teach to diversify the income stream by selling through the European Amazon markets as well!!! That sounded like an interesting idea to me.

Selling through Amazon FBA in multiple countries is what Marketplace SuperHeroes is all about. No other course covers this area the way Marketplace SuperHeroes does, and that’s what makes it unique. The majority of other courses will talk only about the U.S. market, as if it is the only one out there. Selling outside America has a lot of potential, and for some reason, Marketplace SuperHeroes is the only one that really emphasizes this.

Content

Marketplace SuperHeroes has been around for many years now, so it can be said that it has withstood the test of time.

Over the years, Stephen and Robert recreated the core system videos, which include all of the latest information coming from Amazon itself. This also played a very big role in my decision when choosing which course to get. Had it not been updated, I would have probably not purchased the course. On the other hand, it makes MPSH one of the most up-to-date courses regarding the Amazon FBA business.

Marketplace SuperHeroes includes:

  • MPSH Core 2.0 Program – The entire beginner-friendly step-by-step program that will teach you how to build a global Amazon business from complete scratch.
  • 4S Product Finder Software
  • The MPSH Facebook Mastermind
  • 6 Months Weekly Coaching
  • BONUS #1: 6 Months of Access to Premium Software Suite
  • BONUS #2: 6 Months Freight Membership
  • BONUS #3: 100 Product Ideas In 7 Days
  • BONUS #4: MPSH Business Set Up Call
  • BONUS #5: MPSH Partnership Bonus
  • BONUS #6: Free Upgrade to Our Brand New Ignite Program

4S Product Gauntlet and how I avoided losing money (now called 4S Product Finder Software with improvements)

The 4S Product Gauntlet is a software that comes with the course.

In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how much I am going to use it, but after having gone into the research phase, I realized how handy this tool is.

4S Product Gauntlet is basically a tool that you use to keep track of your products. You record all of the information there, and in the end, it calculates for you your product’s profitability.

Honestly, I was really happy about the first product that I picked. I was sure it would generate a lot of income. However, right before making the first order from the chosen supplier, the product had to go through the final stage withing the 4S Product Gauntlet. As it turned out, this product not only wouldn’t bring any profit, but I could have actually lost a lot of money on it! Needless, to say, I was lucky that this tool was at hand.

This is a good example of how being too confident can hurt us. I was absolutely sure that I would make profit, but nothing could be further from the truth. I was pretty happy at that point that I invested in the course, as I would have last a lot more money on that product than what I spent on Marketplace SuperHeroes.

When it comes to business, don’t hesitate to invest. Rather safe than sorry.

Facebook Community

The last thing worth of mentioning is the Marketplace SuperHeroes Facebook community. Before I purchased the course, I read that the MPSH Facebook community wasn’t very active there. But honestly, not only I don’t see it that way, I was actually impressed by the community.

Many of the course creators out there are very passionate about selling their course to you, obviously, but when it comes to helping people on the inside after the sale, you almost never hear from them. With Stephen and Robert, it’s a different story.

They will answer any question that you might have, and they will do it within 24 hours! Personally, I see that it usually takes them a couple of hours at most to reply. I respect them immensely for this approach towards their product and their customers. I haven’t seen anyone do it better than them. You really do feel like someone is holding your hand throughout the process, something that so many of us need when getting into a new business.

Conclusion

All in all, I so far have nothing to complain when it comes to Marketplace SuperHeroes. There are still some videos I have yet to see, but everything that I have seen so far and experienced with the course, has left a very positive feeling.

I know this may sound like a review with a biased opinion, but I really don’t see the point of writing and advertising something that I am not completely satisfied with. When it comes to selling on Amazon, despite me not having any prior experience with FBA, I now know exactly what I am doing and where I am heading with my business. In the end, that’s exactly what I want.

Hopefully, this was useful to you and will help you make an educated decision with which course to go for. Feel free to ask me questions and to follow Growth Evolution Development ground on social media.

  1. Hey Victor. I’m wondering what your start-up costs were (not including MPSH). This is the one thing that I can’t seem to find an answer to. Thanks.

    • Hey Jason and thank you for the comment!
      I personally had $2500, just in case. But $1000-$1500, depending if you want to go global or not, should be more than enough. Hope that answers the question. Thanks for stopping by!

    Informative review.
    How much are you making per month through private labeling since applying what you’ve learned via the program…if I may inquire?

    • Hi Andrew, thank you! It varies and gets into the thousands easily, but I don’t yet hold that money. I put 100% of it back into growing the business. Hope that helps.
