If you’re a millennial looking for new opportunities, starting an e-commerce business on Amazon is a great option. With low start-up costs and huge earning potential, selling products through Amazon appeals to the millennial mindset. And once you have cracked Amazon, you can expand your brand to other platforms and reach a wider audience using an omnichannel ecommerce platform that has tools such as marketplace integration and feed management.

But let’s start at the beginning. Here are nine compelling reasons to take the leap into e-commerce.

Low Barriers to Entry

You don’t need a lot of money upfront to get started selling on Amazon. With most product categories, you can launch with less than a $1,000 initial investment. This is much more affordable than opening a brick-and-mortar store! You can start small and test products before committing more money. Amazon makes it easy to scale up over time as your business grows.

Global Marketplace Access

Tap into Amazon’s vast customer base of over 300 million users worldwide. People already love shopping on Amazon, so selling there gives you an instant traffic pipeline. You gain instant credibility by selling on Amazon’s trusted marketplace. Leverage their massive existing audience to quickly scale up sales.

Free Advertising

Amazon draws tons of organic search traffic. By optimizing your listings, you can capitalize on people searching for your products without paying a dime for advertising. Use keywords and compelling listing content to get found by buyers. Drive conversions by understanding buyer intent and positioning your products strategically.

Fulfillment Services

With Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA), you can store your inventory in Amazon’s warehouses while they pick, pack and ship your orders. Less hassle for you! Outsource fulfillment and logistics so you can focus on scaling the business. FBA puts your brand and products in front of Prime members for free 2-day shipping.

Brand Building Opportunities

Create your own brand on a global platform. Use stellar customer service and smart marketing to turn one-time buyers into lifelong brand advocates. Register your brand so you own it and prevent counterfeiting. Building an authentic brand connects emotionally with consumers to drive loyalty.

Flexibility to Travel

Run your Amazon business anywhere with an internet connection! Fulfill orders at home or while adventuring abroad. E-commerce = the freedom to earn income on your schedule. Use FBA and virtual assistants so you can step away yet keep the sales engine humming. Log in from hostels along your backpacking route through Asia!

Data Insights

Dive into user trends and shopping behaviors with Amazon’s advanced analytics. Identify key opportunities to optimize conversions and maximize sales 24/7/365. Experiment with pricing, keywords, images and more using the data. Double down on what works to scale sales. 

Customer Service Network

Leverage Amazon’s Customer Service teams for issues beyond your scope (returns, A-to-Z claims, chargebacks). Less day-to-day hassle for sellers. Focus on WOWing customers instead of getting bogged down in handling issues. Outsource returns processing so you can grow your catalog and product line faster.

Passive Income Potential

Hire virtual assistants to operate your business after reaching scale. Or, take a hands-off approach by building your own brands and then licensing them to Amazon through Vendor Central. Sit back and collect royalty checks! Put systems and automation in place to remove yourself as the bottleneck. Develop multiple product lines and income streams to build a passive revenue machine. 

Selling online products aligned with Amazon’s expanding categories gives millennials a lucrative shot at freedom from 9-to-5 jobs. Before other generations catch on, jump on this e-commerce movement to control your financial destiny!
