Newbie on amazon.Its been three months now and no sales.Please advise.
So i launched my handmade product in July and there are no sales yet.The amazon recommendations say the product is low competition and I should enroll in amazon FBA.I have an ad campaign going on for $30/daily budget. Should i still consider amazon fba since i have not seen any sales for the past three months? How long does it take to see some activity?

Honestly, I didn't start getting any sales until I started using FBA. I started off small, sending in 5 each of my top ten selling designs (I'd been doing art fairs for years and already knew what my customers liked). From there I slowly built up my FBA inventory over the past 6 years and sales have kept pace. When I do sell out of something, I notice that I'm lucky if I sell 1 FBM for every 10 I would sell via FBA. It's not that much of a risk to try, so send in a few and see how it works for you!
