Getting started

In short

  • The account setup decisions are the hardest ones to undo later.
  • A small catalogue done properly beats the whole range done quickly.
  • Most of the work happens before anything is listed.

What has to happen before the first listing?

Brand Registry, the account structure, and a decision about which products go first.

Everything you skip at the start comes back as a support ticket.

Which products should go first?

The ones that can carry the advertising and survive a review. Not the whole catalogue.

Three more on the same problem

Fees and margin

Where your Amazon margin actually goes

Every deduction between the price a buyer pays and the money that reaches you, in the order it comes out.

Fulfilment

FBA or your own warehouse?

The questions to answer before you move a single pallet, and the ones that only matter once you are already at scale.

Advertising

How much should you spend on Amazon ads?

There is no universal number. There is a way to work out yours, and it starts with the margin rather than the budget.
