It's another good Monday 👍 👌 😌 👏 ☺️

Quick check-in for everyone working on a product right now. Some sellers discover issues early because they tested their product first. Others wish they had done it before launching. And some avoid sampling altogether because they are not sure how to approach it. Product sampling often becomes the moment things click. It brings clarity on quality, positioning, and what customers actually care about. No pressure to explain. Comment YES if sampling has helped you before, or NOT YET if you have not tried it. Seeing where others are can make the next step clearer.

Most failed products don’t fail because the seller was “unlucky.” They fail because the seller never slowed down to understand what buyers actually want. Here’s a simple exercise that can change your next launch: - Open the reviews of the top products in your niche. - Read the 1–3 star reviews only. - Circle every complaint that repeats. Those repeating complaints? That’s your roadmap. Fix even ONE of those problems better than everyone else… and you’re no longer guessing. Now tell me this: 👉 When you check reviews, what do you usually discover first? A) Buyers hate the quality B) Buyers say it’s overpriced C) Buyers want features that aren’t there Drop your answer in the comments. I’m curious what you’re seeing.

It’s only the second day of the year and if you’re a new Amazon seller, product research probably already feels like chaos. You open different tools, check the numbers, and suddenly every product looks like it could either be a winner or a total disaster. This is totally normal, especially when you want to start strong. Instead of rushing to pick something fast, enjoy figuring out why some products work and others don’t. Learning to evaluate demand, competition, and margins now will save you from bigger mistakes later. Stuck in this stage? Drop a comment and tell us which part of product research has you scratching your head. We’ll figure it out together!

As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to celebrate all of you. Whether you launched your first product, optimized a listing, or just took the first step toward your Amazon FBA journey, 2025 was full of progress. Every action you took, no matter how small, brought you closer to your goals. Even if some things didn’t go perfectly, that’s part of the journey. Growth comes from learning, adjusting, and moving forward. This year, let’s focus on momentum, consistency, and action. Pick one small thing today that will set the tone for the first week of 2026. One step forward now compounds into meaningful results later. Your future self will thank you for starting today instead of waiting for tomorrow. Here’s to a year of growth, smart decisions, and unstoppable momentum. Let’s make 2026 our best year yet!
