Selling textbooks on Amazon is nothing but lucrative and rewarding! But like most profitable ventures, it is no easy feat. Here is your guide to cracking the success code!
Getting Started
Textbooks are distinct from everyday books. For one, they are a crowd-favorite and attract high seasonal demand year in and year out. Millions of college students rely on textbooks to pass exams and accomplish academic/career goals. Hence, the demand for these books is at an all-time high.
In the same vein, books are one of the most sought-after categories on Amazon, with textbooks ranking high on the list. They are extremely easy to source and require minimal financial resources to sell. Though Amazon.com canceled its Amazon textbook buyback program in early 2020 for logical reasons, you can still sell textbooks on Amazon and make a good profit.
