The Genius Series Survey

On our quest to build the perfect “how to sell on Amazon” series, we surveyed over 1,000 Amazon sellers. Some were experienced sellers, others were new sellers, and many were just getting started. With this valuable information, we learned what some of the biggest challenges that old and new Amazon sellers alike face in the fast evolving marketplace.
