The Amazon Files, hosted by Kristin Ostrander, Amazon business strategist and one of the founders of Mommy Income, hits the airwaves every Tuesday with the real truth about selling on Amazon.

Focus and confidence are two things every entrepreneur needs to successfully manage an online business. But with the variety of products and services marketers aggressively pressure business owners into buying, Amazon sellers either fear choosing the wrong tools to expand their business or get distracted by the next shiny thing. No wonder a lot of us are bogged down by analysis paralysis.

 

How do you choose the best tools for your online business?

 

How do you overcome overthinking and expand your Amazon store?

 

In this week’s episode, we discuss how to be a better decision-maker for your online business to help you overcome overthinking. We explain how confidence can affect your decision making when buying products and reveal how FOMO (the fear of missing out) can pressure you into purchasing items and services that aren’t a priority. We share the tools and apps that we use in our businesses and explain why we use them. We also share some of the most important questions to ask yourself before you invest in a tool or service to expand your Amazon store.

 

“You don’t need more information; you just need the right information and ask yourself the right questions.” - Kristin Ostrander
