Chapter 1: Is it still viable to start an Amazon business in 2026?
is it still viable to be an amazon seller or start an amazon business in 2026 i get this question all the time it's something that i think every single person who has ever thought about selling a product online or currently sells a product online is wondering all the time is amazon over saturated is it dying is it something that a new seller a new brand or even a current seller or brand can't scale and grow within because there's just too much out there
Chapter 2: Did you miss the Amazon gold rush and its implications?
And I think it's a pretty complicated answer.
Chapter 3: What recent announcements did Amazon make at the Accelerate event?
I don't think it's necessarily a yes or a no.
Chapter 4: How is Amazon addressing fulfillment growth and logistics challenges?
I think there's a lot to dive into here. My name is Noah.
Chapter 5: Is Amazon still worth it despite rising competition and fees?
I'm VP of sales and marketing here at my Amazon guy. And I thought this would be a great time to explore this because we're at the beginning of the year and what better time to think about whether or not you should be starting a Amazon business this year.
Chapter 6: What strategies work for Amazon sellers in 2026?
There are a couple of commonalities that I tend to see with people when they're looking at whether or not Amazon is going to continue being the business and the giant in e-commerce that is. And I think the most common one is people thinking that they missed the ship in 2020 times.
Chapter 7: Should you diversify your e-commerce strategy beyond Amazon?
So many new sellers at the platform, so many new brands at the platform. And a lot of people have seen the growth from that, but also saw the stagnation from that as well, because as a whole, Amazon has gotten more complicated. In the past year, we've seen a lot of changes on Amazon and
Most recently, we had Amazon accelerate last fall, where Amazon actually talked about the aspect of, you know, their 25 years of partnership with independent sellers generating over 2.5 trillion in sales and over 2 million jobs. And they talked about making selling easier.
So if you are somebody who's getting on the platform, trying to make it easier to sell on the platform as a whole, things like their new product and opportunity explorer and how it's built with A.I. to help you find new products to sell, whether you're a brand new brand or a brand that's already established. They also have all sorts of things such as unmet demand insights, right?
They're not seeing that sellers are getting all of the different insights that they want and that sellers want more and more insights at the end of the day. With this as well, I think it's most important to talk about how they are making new partnerships, right? New partnerships with Walmart, Shopify and Sheen and through their multichannel fulfillment.
So Amazon isn't just focused on just the selling platform that is Amazon Marketplace. They're also focused on all of the fulfillment capabilities that they have. the ability to send inventory globally around the entire planet and how much it's actually growing. They're seeing that people who use MCF have a 19% sales increase on average.
They even talked about how by the end of 2026, Amazon Global Logistics will provide shopping services that cover more than 95% of all FBA volume worldwide. It's a huge, huge stack. And so you look at things like this and you see, and you're seeing that Amazon is growing.
And in fact, one of the major things to see is that in 2024, for instance, we saw a record 1.35 million new sellers onto the platform, 839,000 2024 and 1.35 million in 2025. This is huge, right? Like that's a ton of new people on the platform. It's a ton of new potential competition as well.
And currently speaking, there's about 1.9 million active Amazon sellers on the platform just in the US alone. And so looking at that, there's tons and tons of competition. But I think the biggest thing to think about whenever there is competition, any niche doesn't have to just be Amazon or a specific category on Amazon.
It's the idea of product and brand and differentiation, whether or not what you are going to be selling is going to be differentiated enough to make that difference, whether you're going to be reinvesting your profits into scaling your company or whether you're trying to just make a quick buck. And I think those are the primary differentiators when we're looking as to whether or not Amazon is
