3 things to check before deciding to sell on Amazon

Amazon can be a brilliant place to sell — but that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone.

In this episode, I’ll help you work out whether Amazon is the right platform for your products and business. We’ll go through three simple checks that can save you time, money, and frustration before you even get started.

You’ll learn:

• How to check if your product can be sold on Amazon (including approvals, restrictions, and safety requirements)
• How to assess demand — whether people are already buying products like yours
• How to estimate costs and make sure your product can stay profitable after fees

We’ll also look at some free tools you can use, like the Jungle Scout Sales Estimator, and I’ll share practical examples to help you make informed decisions before you commit.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on the fence about Amazon for a while, this episode will give you clarity on whether it’s the right move for you.

Hosted by Captivate

If you've been inspired to start a podcast in 2024 then I recommend my podcast host, Captivate. They were my top pick when I started 4 years ago because of how easy it was for a complete novice to get started. I’ve stuck with them because it’s still simple, they keep adding great new features (like the ability to share ads like these!) and it’s been so reliable.
