I set up my Amazon FBA account a month ago and I am ready to start this journey. I have around £2,000 to launch my first product, and I am currently using AMZScout and SellerAmp for product research. However, I am honestly struggling to source the right product and find reliable suppliers.
I know many people here have experience with Amazon FBA, so I would genuinely appreciate any advice, tips, or mentorship from those already in the game.
TIA.
What’s your business model, is it Wholesale, Private label or Arbitrage? Stick to small, lightweight products with consistent demand and go only with verified Alibaba or trusted wholesalers, implement best launching strategies to gain profit.
If Amazon wholesale is something you’re planning to get into this year, now is the time to start reaching out to brands.
Once Q3 hits, distributors get buried in orders from their existing approved sellers. New applications basically sit untouched, and a lot of them stop responding to new sellers altogether until things slow back down.
Right now they’ve actually got time to review your application properly and get you approved.
Wait until later in the year and you’ll likely miss the window completely.
I think you’re already doing the right thing by researching before jumping in. Amazon FBA can definitely work, but with a £2k budget you need to be very careful with product selection, supplier reliability, shipping costs, and how much capital gets locked in inventory.
I personally ended up focusing less on Amazon and more on other opportunities. For me, I’ve been making money through platforms like mostbet mobil rather than building an FBA business. It’s a completely different approach, but it taught me a lot about managing risk and making calculated decisions.
That said, if you’re committed to FBA, I’d suggest starting small, ordering samples first, and not rushing into a large inventory purchase. Good luck with the journey!
