If you are thinking of starting on Amazon, go for it! Do your homework first!

The "overnight, get-rich, ship from China directly to AMZ and collect the $$ for two hours of work a week" schemes are fantasies pushed by consultants on YouTube for clicks and ad $.

Most sellers use FBA Fulfillment by Amazon....meaning you ship your stuff to AMZ warehouses, you pay them to store, ship, and customer service. Ain't cheap, but there are good reasons why you should consider FBA.

We make gourmet food products. We make, ship, and support everything ourselves. We are called Fulfillment By Merchant (FBM). Our products have a very short shelf life. AMZ expects wants for FBA products with shelve life greater than 6 months. No can do.

I have a saying "Its easy to sell on Amazon, its hard to make money on Amazon". You just try and try until you create/find the right products.

After a year of watching 100s of hours of YouTube, learning, planning, and launching, we are going to make over 6 figures with a profit. We got lucky. Had no clue if AMZ would work.

If you make arts and crafts, ETSY is a better listing site.
EBAY is great for stuff also. Known for selling used stuff.

If you are already selling stuff, have any advice or comments to share?
