AMZTools #13: 💀 RIP good times, Amazon PPC tools special and more

💀 RIP Good Times is around the corner

I don't want to be pessimistic, but difficult times are coming.

We have 3-5 years ahead of us, in which money will be expensive. If your Amazon business depends on loans (Amazon / bank / VCs…), you may have a hard time.

A few weeks ago I shared a report from Sequoia Capital in which they commented that access to easy / free money is dead.

Every investor I talk to jumps to the same conclusion: RIP good times. It is time to have liquidity and, above all, for your business numbers to be positive.

Expect less access to growth money and higher fees on Amazon and other marketplaces.

I’d love to know your thoughts on this topic.
