Yes, PL is a successful business model.

When your product becomes live on Amazon, do not run PPC. Instead start focusing on taking 10 to 15, five star reviews and rating, otherwise some competitor may give you fake negatives reviews and you will lose your sales and ranking.

One Bad review will ruin your whole listing.
