What I’d do differently if I started on Amazon again

I first started selling on Amazon around nine years ago, and while I did a lot right, there’s plenty I’d do differently if I was starting today.

In this episode, I’m sharing both the wins and the lessons learned – so you can avoid the costly mistakes I made and benefit from what’s working for my clients right now.

We’ll cover:

• The things I’d repeat – from having an established product to creating a great listing
• Why I’d skip Amazon’s A+ templates in favour of custom layouts
• How I’d approach stock differently to save on storage fees
• The importance of having FBM as a backup to FBA
• Why I’d use Vine to get early reviews (and avoid my early review struggles!)
• How I’d approach ads with more patience and focus
• What I’d change about my launch and expansion plans

If you’re just starting out – or thinking about a relaunch – this is a chance to learn from my experience and start strong.
