Whether it’s because they got laid off, want to work from home, or do a side hustle, many people want to start an Amazon business. Yet, they doubt doing so because they feel like it’s an unsafe venture. After all, it’s been a long, arduous year we’ve all had. With all the crazy stuff that’s been happening, is starting an online business on Amazon still viable? And if it is, what kind of investment do you have to make to succeed? What are the challenges of running an Amazon business and how do you overcome them?
In this episode, I discuss why selling on Amazon is still a great business opportunity in 2020 and beyond. I reveal the essential changes in Amazon’s policies this year that beginners need to watch out for. I explain the steps Amazon is taking to protect both buyers and sellers and discuss brand and category restrictions. I also highlight the value of giving yourself the beginner’s learning curve when starting on Amazon and explain why you need to ask yourself why you want to start your online business.
