Should you hire an Amazon agency or do it yourself?
You can run Amazon yourself. The question is whether it is worth your time. Here is an honest look at when to do it yourself, when to get help, and what to watch out for so you do not waste money on the wrong agency.
When doing it yourself works
If you have the time, a small catalog, and you enjoy the details, you can run it yourself. Many sellers start this way. Amazon gives you the tools.
When it stops working
As your sales grow, Amazon becomes a full-time job. Fees, ads, listings, inventory, and policy changes all need attention at once. Most owners would rather spend that time on their product and their brand.
What to watch out for
Not every agency improves your profit. Some only run ads. Others sell strategy with no operational depth. Most ask for $3,000 to $4,000 a month. Before you sign, ask what they actually do and how they measure it.
