Hello, everyone!
I’m new to the world of Amazon FBA and have had an account for about a year now. I’m really interested in learning the ins and outs of the business to start selling successfully.
I’d appreciate tips on everything from product research to listing optimization and managing ads, along with any useful courses, tools, or communities to join.
Thank you so much for your help!
Starting Amazon FBA can feel overwhelming at first, but the best approach is to build a solid foundation step by step by first understanding costs, fees, and profitability before even choosing a product, then learning product research using demand, competition, and pricing data rather than hype.
Focus on finding simple products with consistent demand, manageable competition, and enough margin to absorb fees, ads, and mistakes, and validate ideas using tools like Keepa-style price and sales history logic rather than relying only on estimated numbers.
When listing, prioritize clear titles, keyword-relevant bullet points, honest images, and a competitive initial price to generate early sales velocity, and don’t over-optimize before you have data.
For ads, start small with automatic campaigns to collect search term data, then gradually move into manual campaigns while closely monitoring spend, as ads should support profitable products rather than try to save weak ones.
Avoid expensive courses early on and instead learn from free resources, seller forums, and real seller discussions, because practical experience and small test buys will teach you more than theory.
Most importantly, start small, track every cost, be patient with mistakes, and treat Amazon as a data-driven business rather than a get-rich-quick opportunity, because consistency and discipline matter far more than shortcuts.
