Do you have some tough questions about selling on Amazon? Are you skeptical about the opportunity to build a business on the Amazon platform? Many people have the same concerns you do, so you aren't alone. Recently, in a discussion inside our free Facebook group I asked for some "skeptics" to step forward. I wanted to have a conversation with them about their concerns, the rumors they'd heard and the tough questions that were keeping them from moving forward in launching a business as an Amazon seller. We recorded the conversation for you- and that is the gist of this episode! They DIDN'T HOLD BACK! They asked about dropshipping and "done for you" models, saturation concerns, who are the customers who pay more than retail when shopping on Amazon, the confusing amazon rules, the limitations of category approval, why we don't let students start with private label selling, the time requirements to learn and launch the business and other hot topic issues that are a concern for many new Amazon sellers. I think you'll enjoy our chat as I answered with transparency and plenty of facts and data to back up my responses.
