Is Amazon.com good for you?

I’m sure Amazon.com is not a stranger to all of you. Amazon.com is one of the biggest online shops in the world. Yes, it is that big. So, does it big enough for us to make money signing under it? Well, you might want to think about it. There are a few things that you need to consider before trying out Amazon.com.

The basic things about selling Amazon product in your site is try to find the same product category that matches you blog. Most of us have this part done correctly. Before that we actually need to consider the demand and supply. When we check on Amazon.com, we can see that there are only several countries with Amazon international site. These countries are USA, UK, Canada, German, Japan, France and China. So if you’re staying at these countries, then you have better access of Amazon.com services. This means that your customers will have faster delivery and not much problem on the transaction.

When we look at the business side, if Amazon.com set up an international site at one country, it means that there is a market there. There are enough customers from that country to allow them to open up a new international site.

If you’re staying at one of the country stated above and most of your blog readers are from your country side, then it’s not a bad idea to promote Amazon.com. You have a good supplier and a confirm market there, all you need to do is just set up your e-shop. As for the rest of us that are from other country, it would be better to sign off Amazon.com, unless you can pull enough blog readers from the listed country above.

P/S: I’m not saying that you can’t success with Amazon.com. Just that you have a better chances if you’re staying in the listed country above.
