Book arbitrage can be a great way to make extra income with Amazon FBA but it's not for everybody. While I don't have specific experience with the program you posted, I looked at the web page to see what they are all about. First, the link opened 10 identical browser tabs which is pretty suspect and feels spammy.
Their program is specifically geared to finding cheap books on Amazon that have few or no FBA sellers. You buy the books and relist them as an FBA seller at a higher price then pocket the difference.
I don't have any experience with this type of arbitrage so I can't say if it's a profitable method. If you're just starting out, I would go to places like library book sales and Goodwill to find cheap books.
There is a big movement right now for college students to find alternative sources for textbooks since they can be extremely expensive. This is an excellent opportunity to find cheap textbooks locally and sell them on Amazon. You make money and the buyer saves money vs. buying from a bookstore.
If you're considering buying this program, I would strongly recommend doing more research as there is a wealth of free information out there on book arbitrage.
A personal favourite of mine is Principle by Ray Dalio. For social media growth, this list includes a few book books to help you jumpstart your project: https://www.growthboost.co/blog/the-best-social-media-marketing-books/

If you were given a product to sell on Amazon for a traditional retail company, what percentage of sales would you charge?
You have to see how much gross profit and net profit is there in the product sale. Let's assume the net profit is X then you could ask around 15% to 20% of the net profit. It also depends on how much efforts you are doing and who is paying for the paid ads. It also depends on how much efforts client is doing to build his brand on social media and other channels because if he is doing efforts, there will be more sale of goods.Muhammad AliMA

What are the key techniques to have a successful FBA Amazon business?
Besides being trained in the best keyword ranking techniques, you need to have just the right product. Easy to manufacture but not too easy to knock off. Otherwise you will find yourself ranking and then immediately getting chased by others willing to go leaner on margins. Product sourcing and design/development can be the differentiator that allows you to stay in a product category for much longer and really get a good ROI.Tracy HazzardTH

How much is my Amazon FBA business worth?
A good starting point for determining valuation is 3x your annual profits. That said, you may find a 1 - 2X variance up or down depending on the type of product(s), the category or categories you sell in, your total number of SKUs, etc.Tyler C BeatyTC

Does reverse proxy create a slower page speed and navigation?
I host 100s of high traffic, high speed, WordPress sites. If a client asked me this question... I'd say... This type of spaghetti setup is okay for a hobby site. Not for a real + money generating + pay your bills type of project. For real (money generating) projects. Keep tech simple. I run straight up Apache + FPM PHP + sites I host load test at roughly 1.1M request/minute throughput. You read that right. There's all sorts of myths about what's required for fast sites. My guess, 99.999% of everything written about fast sites is written by people who've never run a high traffic site or don't understand how to setup sites to isolation + fix slow points. Do yourself a favor + hire someone smart to host your site. In the long run, you'll save a truckload of money.David FavorDF

Where can I get a barcode for new products that I'm going to sell on Amazon and my future E-commerce?
First, avoid UPC codes. They're expensive + cumbersome + Amazon no longer uses them... or rather... even if you have a UPC code, you'll require replacing these with the Amazon AISN number assigned you. https://www.gs1us.org - UPC Mafia, where you purchase UPC codes. More important is a high throughput multicolor printer (to print ad-hoc labels) + a barcode reader device, to ensure your barcodes are accurate (can be read by Amazon barcode scanners).David FavorDF
