Myth: Making Money on Amazon Requires You to Hold Inventory

Many assume that earning money through Amazon means holding large amounts of inventory, like in a traditional retail business, which deters some people from starting.

Amazon offers several ways to make money without holding inventory. Options like Amazon’s FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) program allow sellers to send products to Amazon’s warehouses, where Amazon manages storage, packaging, and shipping. Additionally, Amazon’s KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) enables authors to publish books without inventory, and affiliate marketing allows people to earn commissions by recommending products. Amazon Merch provides another option, enabling users to sell print-on-demand items without holding stock. These methods make Amazon accessible for people who want to avoid inventory risks.
