“When I launched my first Amazon product, it wasn’t perfect."

(My first month selling on AmazonFBA years ago, in early Q4)
I didn’t have the best photos.

I didn’t know every strategy.

But I launched before Q4, and that decision gave me my first taste of freedom.

Not success overnight, but momentum.

And that momentum changed my life.

If you're sitting on your product idea, overthinking the timing, or waiting until everything feels “ready”, let me stop you right there.

The absolute best time to launch your first Amazon FBA product is NOW, during Q3, right before Q4.

Here’s why:

1. Q4 Is Amazon’s Biggest Shopping Season (And You Want In Early)

We’re talking Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and New Year’s resolution shopping.
Millions of customers are hunting for gifts, solutions, and last-minute buys, and they’re not as picky as usual.

If your product is live and ranked by the time the Q4 madness hits, you can ride the wave of demand and see sales come in faster than any other time of the year.

But here’s the catch: If you wait too long, you’ll be stuck watching everyone else make money while you’re still “planning.”

2. You’ll Learn 10x Faster Than in a Slow Season

You don’t need the perfect listing. You need a live product with data.
Launching in Q3 lets you test:

• Your pricing

• Your images

• Your ad performance

• Your customer feedback

You’ll gather insights in 1 month of Q4 that could take 6 months to figure out in Q1 or Q2.

Faster lessons = faster growth.

3. Most New Sellers Procrastinate Until January, You’ll Have a Head Start

(my sales # in Jan when I first started)

Here’s the truth most won’t tell you:
January is full of new sellers jumping in with their New Year’s resolutions… and Amazon gets crowded.

By launching before Q4, you beat the rush. You’ll already have sales, reviews, and ranking power while others are still stuck watching YouTube videos.

Be the seller they wish they started becoming three months earlier.

4. The Cash Flow Advantage: Earn During the Holidays

Most new sellers get stuck because they’re afraid to spend.
But when you launch in Q3 and build momentum into Q4:

• You get cash flow from actual sales

• You can reinvest faster

• You can negotiate better terms with suppliers

You’re not “spending money to launch”…
You’re building a cash machine before everyone else wakes up.

5. It Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect, Just Profitable

Let go of perfection.
Customers during the holidays are in buying mode, not researching mode.

If your product solves their problem or makes a great gift, they don’t care if your brand only has 5 reviews.
They care about getting what they need, now.

That gives new sellers a rare window to compete without having to be the most polished brand on the shelf.

6. Set Yourself Up for a Breakthrough 2026

Want to go into next year with:

• Momentum

• Real reviews

• Proven ads

• A customer base

• A brand that’s already making sales?

Then the time to act is Q3, not next year.

What the Data Says: Why Now Is the Time to Launch

If you're still on the fence, let’s look at what the numbers say:

Third-Party Sellers Drive Amazon’s Growth

• In 2023, over 60% of all Amazon product sales came from independent third-party sellers

• Those sellers generated over $450 billion in total sales across all Amazon marketplaces

• During Q4 alone, many sellers make up 40–60% of their annual revenue

Q4 isn’t just another quarter.
It’s make-or-break season for millions of brands—and the easiest time for new sellers to break into the market.

Who Are These Amazon Sellers?

Amazon’s latest data reveals:

• 89% of Amazon sellers are solo-preneurs or small teams

• 52% started with less than $5,000 in inventory

• Over 60% had no prior e-commerce experience

• Many come from all walks of life: nurses, teachers, accountants, moms, immigrants, college grads, and 9-to-5ers

The ones who win aren’t always the ones with the most money or experience.
They’re the ones who just started—and kept learning.

Bottom Line?

If you’ve ever looked at someone crushing it on Amazon and thought:

“They probably had a head start…”

Odds are, they were just one of the few who chose to launch before Q4.

✅ What You Should Do Right Now (Before Q4 Hits)

If you're serious about launching your first Amazon product and taking full advantage of the Q4 wave, here's what you need to do:

1. Prepare Your Finances

• Open a dedicated business bank account

• Apply for a 0% interest credit card or small business credit line

• Set a realistic launch budget (you don’t need $10K, even $2K–$5K can work)

Pro tip: Many of my students launched their first product using credit cards wisely—and flipped their inventory into cash flow before interest ever kicked in.

Our Mission:

After I failed following bad advice from so-called gurus, I was lucky to find the right mentor who gave me the blueprint to succeed. I used it to build multiple million-dollar Amazon brands and change my life. Along the way, other sellers who had also failed started reaching out.

I shared the same process that helped me and it didn’t just pull them out of debt, it helped them build freedom. Some now work from anywhere and have more time with their families. That’s why we created AMZSHIFU to pass down the knowledge that actually works.
