Are you thinking of throwing in the towel on your Amazon because it’s been hard, confusing, or overwhelming? Do want to get started but don’t know where to even begin with the wealth of information out there? Or do you want to continue running your online business on Amazon but are scared because of these trying times? Whatever you’re doing on Amazon, don’t call it quits just yet. There are benefits to rolling up your sleeves and pushing through - and they’re benefits you won’t find anywhere else.

In this episode, I explain why you need to get started on Amazon and, if you already have, why you need to keep it going. I reveal the many benefits of selling and the best ways to get started on one of the world’s largest Ecommerce platforms. I share my background, how I got started on Ecommerce, and how long I have been running my Amazon store. I explain how selling on Amazon gives you freedom of time and location and underscore why it’s not an automated business or a “passive” source of income. I also reveal the best and most stable business model you can do on Amazon and highlight why you need to hold on to your goals when running an Amazon business.

 

“You have to be consistent, but you don’t have to trade dollars for hours. There’s no limit to how much you can sell and make on Amazon.” - Kristin Ostrander
