February 27, 2026 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

If you’ve felt like selling on Amazon has gotten more demanding lately, you’re not imagining it. In this episode, we’re breaking down a major shift happening right now in the Amazon marketplace…and why it’s actually good news for serious sellers.

New data shows a sharp drop in brand-new Amazon sellers, signaling the end of the “dabble and see what happens” era. What’s replacing it? A more stable, professional marketplace that rewards consistency, systems, and sellers who treat Amazon like a real business.

If you’re ready to move from side hustle thinking to full-time momentum, this episode will help you understand exactly what’s changed…and how to position yourself to win.
