Today, Alfred joins me to share his journey in creating his card game business and why he chose to start selling on Amazon instead of his own site. He reveals some of the pros and cons of selling through Amazon and explains why it’s important to do your own marketing when trading on the platform. He offers tips on driving traffic to your Amazon listing and promoting products without buying ads. Alfred also outlines the best practices for creating an Amazon listing and getting reviews from buyers.
