Choose a plan
Amazon offers two selling plans, Individual and Professional, depending on how many Cajun products a business owner or entrepreneur is wanting to sell - one or many!
When you first sign up as a new seller on Amazon, the Individual plan is perfect for beginners who want to get comfortable with selling before upgrading. The Individual plan costs $0.99 per sale.
Sellers using the Professional option pay $39.99 per month, no matter how many items they sell. However, if you find yourself making more than 40 sales each month, then this will be an obvious choice for your business!

Advertising with ROI in mind
While Amazon has experienced exponential growth, its market position is by no means guaranteed for its sellers. As such, it's crucial to have a plan that will get you ROI and flexible enough so as not hinder any future plans.
Amazon Advertising (formerly AMS or Amazon Marketing Services) is a pay-per-click model (PPC) that entails sellers to pay when shoppers click on ads, regardless of whether or not the item sells.
