5 things nobody tells you about selling on Amazon (that I will!)
Manage episode 379704738 series 2798978
Today I'm going to share with you five things that you might not know about selling on Amazon that other people may be a bit reluctant to tell you.
When I collaborate with a new client, I believe in complete transparency throughout the process. This means I'll highlight all the compelling reasons for them to consider selling on Amazon and the potential benefits they can reap from it. Undoubtedly, Amazon remains an excellent platform for many businesses, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. As with everything there are some less favourable aspects, and this is what I will be sharing with you today/.
Listen in to hear me share:
- Amazon isn’t right for everyone and every product (01:03)
- Why you won’t be on page one straight away (02:57)
- It can take a lot longer than you might think to get set up (06:36)
- Seller Central is really hard to navigate (09:13)
- Amazon Seller Support isn’t very good (11:14)
- How I may be able to help you (14:26)

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
