Amazon - What To Do

Fun Jaws Quilted Pocket Clutch

I have been reading and thinking about Amazon, and how to use it to help my little personal business.

First, I should say, I am one of Amazon's best customers. I use them for many, if not most of my purchases. I find them so very convenient.

But for my business, which option is best? Advertise, actually sell on Amazon as an individual seller or become one of their 'Handmade Artisans' and like an individual seller, list my products on Amazon?

So many things to consider. First and foremost, I have a very limited inventory. It's just me, and what I can produce by hand. As an individual artisan, I can make one bag a day, sometimes two bags in a long day...

Maybe I am moving to fast. Maybe I need to wait, and see how the Google advertising affects my business. I will give it two weeks. If it's not working, then I will revisit the Amazon options. And when I do, I should probably start slow. Try advertising first, and then, after a set period, try selling on Amazon. Then, when the dust settles, I will know which options are best for my little business.

In the meantime, there's lots of other work that needs doing, and I don't mean creating new bags. I need to start learning about the nitty gritty stuff, like how taxes will affect me, and building my business plan. There's always so much more to do.
