Is Amazon right for your brand in 2026?

As 2025 comes to a close, you might be wondering if 2026 is finally the year to start selling on Amazon. In this episode, I share an honest look at when Amazon is a brilliant opportunity and when it might not be the right move just yet.

We talk about the pressure many brands feel to be on Amazon, why timing matters more than most people realise, and what you really need in place before taking the leap. I also explore when waiting is the smartest strategy and how that can actually set you up for success later.

This episode is for anyone weighing up their next step, whether you’re brand new to Amazon or still sitting on the fence.

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.

Amazon Made Easy is now open

My membership, Amazon Made Easy is now open. It’s a membership for people who are selling on Amazon (or planning to) and want regular access to support, somewhere to ask questions and talk things through, and a bit of structure and accountability as they grow. Inside, there are live Q&A calls, optional co-working sessions and a small, supportive community. Find out more: https://vickiweinberg.com/membership
