If you’ve been around the TAS community for very long you know that Scott is passionate about helping sellers like you diversify your ecommerce business. The reason is, Scott has seen way too many businesses go under because they were dependent on one product in their brand or one platform to sell on. Don’t fall for that same mistake! Get your business off the ground and running using Amazon as a well-resourced partner then quickly look for ways to grow your brand independent of Amazon. To hear more about this vital strategy, make sure to listen to this engaging episode of The Amazing Seller! What does the future of ecommerce look like? As Amazon continues its march toward world domination, what will the future of the ecommerce industry evolve into? Will we see Amazon gobble up more retail chains as they did with Whole Foods? Will Walmart and others start to give Amazon some serious competition? According to Chris, you should expect to see more categories like groceries continue to open up as Amazon challenges the way we’ve always thought about what nicely “Fits” into the box of ecommerce. Make sure to listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller as Scott and Chris expand on this topic and much more! Don’t be afraid of change! Let’s face it, we’ve been conditioned to reflexively fear change whenever it rears its ugly head. Is that the best approach when Amazon rolls out a new policy change or an update to their TOS? While it can be helpful to be skeptical of changes that come down the road, it’s a good idea to remain open and ready to adapt. The changes that Amazon has rolled out over the years have, for the most part, been changes that have forced sellers to become more engaged with their business and that’s a positive!
