Amazon is still the #1 marketplace in the US with over 200 million Prime members. But if you’re a beginner, it can feel overwhelming. Where do you even start?
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about starting an Amazon business in 2025, including the best shortcuts to success.
Why Selling on Amazon in 2025 Is Still a Massive Opportunity
- Amazon’s US marketplace makes up ~40% of all e-commerce sales.
- More customers are shopping online post-2020 shift.
