Build an e-commerce business on Amazon with Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA)

One night Neil Twa decided he needed to buy a product he had seen on a TV. But instead of being a consumer he decided to be a producer and create an improved version of that product. He then had to get his product in front of customers and eventually to them. The answer was a listing on Amazon and fulfilment by Amazon (FBA).

Now Neil is an entrepreneur with a stable of brands and products that are all sold and orders fulfilled by Amazon.

He is the founder of Voltage and a partner in Patriot Growth Capital.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds Neil explains to host Michael Millward why selling on and fulfilling with Amazon is a great way to launch a business.

They discuss all things Fulfilment by Amazon, and

• How to identify existing demand
• The importance of research the market
• Why data is so important
• The three-year life cycle of an e-commerce business
• Expanding sales channels
• Exit strategies
