An Amazon FBA seller regrets repeatedly hiring external agencies to grow his business. Each time they promised higher profits and easier operations, but delivered only higher costs and headaches. He says the FBA system is already built for scaling without them.
As a business owner, there's always been one regret I do over and over and over again. I guess I never learned my lesson and that's hiring an agency. You see, I'm an Amazon FBA brand owner. I own multiple brands and I always make this mistake because I've been taught that you always want to work on your business, not in your business. But the truth of the matter is when you have like Amazon FBA or e-commerce as a whole, everything's kind of already set up for you to start scaling your business, right? Like, it's not like I'm over here creating my product, right? I get my stuff manufactured in China, ship it right into an Amazon warehouse, do a little bit of advertising, and then once the customer orders my actual item, an Amazon warehouse worker picks that, you know, item from their warehouse, gives it to UPS, USPS, FedEx, whatever it might be, and they go ahead and deliver it to an Amazon FBA customer. And you see, whenever I do hire an agency, they always promise you X, Y, and Z, right? Like how I'm gonna go ahead and make your life so much easier, how I'm gonna go ahead and make your, You know, product's profitable, you're gonna make way more money than I invest. But every single damn time I hire an agency, it ends up costing me more headaches, more money, and I ultimately regret it every single time.
