One of the biggest myths about building an Amazon business is that you need a large amount of capital to start. ❌ 💰
In reality, success comes down to product selection and positioning.
Amazon operates as a search engine.
Customers use different keywords to find the same product, and each keyword represents its own competitive landscape.
This creates both complexity and opportunity.
If you’re starting with $5,000 to $10,000, the objective isn’t to dominate an entire category.
It’s to identify sub-niches and keyword segments where you can realistically compete with the top sellers.
That means analyzing:
Search volume
Keyword distribution
Sales velocity of current competitors
And where demand exists without overwhelming competition
This approach reduces risk and increases your probability of success.
Jennifer and I have applied this methodology across multiple brands, and it’s the foundation of how we evaluate every product opportunity.
💭 Question: When evaluating a new product, do you analyze keyword-level demand or just overall category size?
