$0 - $28k, How long it take this Physical Therapist to Build his Amazon FBA Autopilot brand while working fulltime

May 28, 20253 min read

“How long does it actually take to launch your first product on Amazon?”

This is one of the most common questions I get.

And if you’ve been stuck wondering when you’ll finally make that first sale…
Or whether you can even do this with a full-time job...

Let’s break it down with real timelines from our mentee Engel — not fluff.

🛑 Quick heads-up:
Angel’s story is inspiring, but it’s not magic.
He still worked full-time as a physical therapist — but he made the time after hours to study, research, and execute.
His results came from consistent effort, following the process, and trusting the system step by step.

Success doesn’t happen overnight.
But if you stay committed, it can happen over time.


⏳ Month 1: Learn & Research

You commit 30–60 minutes a day.
That’s it.
You learn how to research high-potential products, analyze the market, and avoid common beginner traps.

One of our students, Engel, did exactly that. He was a full-time physical therapist with zero background in eCommerce.
He spent just an hour a day — usually after work — going through our system.

🔍 Month 2: Product Selection & Business Funding

This is where things get exciting.
Engel found his first winning product by the end of the first month.
We then helped him apply for 0% interest business credit, so he didn’t have to dip into his savings.

Why is that important?
Because if an emergency comes up, you still have cash on hand — peace of mind is everything.

🛠️ Month 3–4: Product Development & Sourcing

Now it’s time to differentiate your product — better packaging, bundling, improved quality, guarantees.
Engel worked with our team to finalize his custom product and placed a bulk order by month 3.

This part feels real. It’s no longer just an idea — it’s becoming a brand.

🚀 Month 5–6: Launch & Sales

Engel’s product landed in Amazon’s warehouse by month 5.
By month 6, he launched and made $20,000 in sales in his first month.

Was it all profit? No. Like any business, the first batch is about establishing credibility and reinvesting.

But here’s the part most people don’t see:

By month 7, he was already restocking.
By month 9, he scaled past $50K/month and booked a trip to Japan with his family.
All while keeping his 9-5.

⚠️ A quick reality check:

Your first batch might not make you rich.
Most people reinvest profits from their first round back into marketing and restocking.
The real breakthrough usually comes in Batch 2 or 3, once Amazon starts favoring your listing and your product gains momentum.


💡 Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to quit your job.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need a proven system, a mentor, and 30 minutes a day.

The first launch is the hardest. But once it clicks, you’ll never forget the feeling of making money in your sleep.
