$400K a Year on Amazon in a Few Hours a Week

Matthew Borger sells on Amazon around his full-time job as a mortgage broker in Houston. In a recent interview, he broke down how it’s gone since he started in early 2024 👇

My first year I did $157,000 in sales. Then in 2025, I did a little over $400,000 in sales.

And he never touches a single product 👀

I utilize a prep center, so I don’t touch any of my inventory. I don’t see any of my inventory.

Suppliers ship straight to the prep center, which preps and forwards everything to Amazon. Matthew just picks what to buy – now down to 2-3 hours a week 💪

His trick is finding products where every seller ships slowly, then swooping in with fast Prime delivery…

So I can jump on as a FBA seller and sell 10-20% higher than what’s on the listing.

At ~12% net margin, that $400K works out to around $48K profit 🤑

Want in? Open accounts with a few wholesale distributors, then hunt for listings where nobody’s offering fast shipping – there’s your gap 😎
