What's up guys? This is Andy back with another Amazon quick tip. This is a question that was asked on my weekly Q&A call with my coaching students. Enjoy.

When would you suggest we start selling on other platforms if we just launched on Amazon four months ago?

Also, how do we go about doing that?

Do you just have thousands of inventory at your house?

It sounds like a big investment and something that would be hard to juggle.

Does your agency help?

Okay.

My advice, as you guys have been hearing lately, is get on as many platforms as you can.

Like from the beginning. It used to be,

2019 was like, no, sell on Amazon. Forget everything else. Like, don't waste your time. Now it's like,

no, we need like a multi-channel strategy. We need a social commerce strategy from the get-go if you really want to be successful. So I would recommend, if you can, I would recommend

setting up a Shopify store. It's like, what, $39 a month? It's kind of like the same as

seller Central. From the inventory thing, I would not fulfill inventory from your house.

I would not. So once you make the commitment of, hey, we're going to sell on Shopify,

you have two choices.

You're going to either send everything to Amazon and use multi-channel fulfillment to fulfill

your Shopify orders.

That is the easiest way.

Right?

That's the easiest way to do this.

Just go to Amazon, go to multi-channel fulfillment, say apply, get it set up, get the app on Shopify, get it linked,

you're done. Easy. Amazon's handling all your shipping orders, returns, all that stuff for you.
