In this episode, Isaac sheds light on the inner workings of the Amazon ecosystem and how DTC brands can leverage it as a profitable channel for their business. We have all seen the Facebook and YouTube ads saying “Start a successful Amazon business with $500”. Many of us might even know someone who is running a successful Amazon business. But how much does it truly cost to get going and make money on Amazon? How do you pick the right product and keyword? How long does it take to start ranking? In this episode, we will cover all this and much more about selling on Amazon and FBA. ----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
