You’re likely familiar with the saying, "Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king." Many Amazon sellers focus on building seven-, eight-, and nine-figure businesses, but the real focus should be on profits and cash flow. However, there is a blueprint for maximizing scaling.

Jeff Campbell, a top-rated marketing expert and e-commerce consultant, asserts that Amazon entrepreneurs must expand their marketplace to increase brand growth. While e-commerce channels such as Amazon B2B, Walmart, and Target provide a strategic roadmap, Jeff recommends researching the market to ensure viable verticals. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding your business's financial performance in order to achieve profit gains. To this end, he formulated a framework that includes market intelligence, profitability analysis, content optimization, advertising, and holistic management and measurement. It’s essential to track your profits and perform monthly and quarterly reviews to measure data against your KPIs. Only after you have a good understanding of your profit margins should you consider expanding channels and distribution.

In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast with Josh Hadley, Jeff Campbell, Co-founder and President of aiCommerce, talks about marketplace expansion and profitability metrics. Jeff explains why marketplace expansion is essential for brand growth, strategic marketplace roadmaps, and the five-step framework for understanding profitability metrics.
