I dive into topics like: • the biggest mistakes new sellers make • choosing between FBA and FBM • how to improve visibility and reach page one • knowing if your pricing is truly competitive • whether Amazon is still worth it in 2026 Even if you’ve been selling for a while, these are still the questions that shape better decisions, stronger foundations and more confident growth.

    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.
