Amazon: Expectation vs. Reality

Thinking about starting an eCommerce business with Amazon? Amazon is a great platform to sell on.

We're going over expectations versus reality when it comes to having a business on Amazon.

Expectation 1: Signing up is easy peasy!

Reality 1: It may be simple to sign up, but there's a lot of necessary steps and documentation needed. What most people don't realize is that all your documents need to match when you are signing up. You'll also need to get verified by an Amazon rep.

Expectation 2: You need thousands of running capital.

Expectation 3: You can start making money ASAP!

Reality 3: It really comes down to your work ethic....
