You can get started selling on Amazon very quickly and with minimal costs. There is a small monthly Amazon fee of $39.99/month to have a Professional Seller Account. You will also need to purchase inventory and the cost will vary depending on the product you want to sell. You will also need time to dedicate to getting your Amazon business started. The beauty is that the upfront work is the hardest–once you’ve launched and learned the process, the work is less time-intensive. A majority of Amazing Selling Machine students launch successful Amazon businesses while working full time.
