Amazon has over 9.7 million registered sellers globally, but the majority never reach $10,000 in monthly revenue. The sellers who succeed in their first year share a common trait: they start with better information.

This guide compiles the best Amazon seller resources for new sellers in 2026 — combining Amazon’s own tools with Enso Brands’ free library at ensobrands.com/amazon-seller-resources. Enso manages 200+ Amazon brands and has built these resources from $250M+ in real sales data. They are free, practical, and directly applicable to your first 90 days.

Creating a Professional seller account requires a business name, address, credit card, bank account, tax ID, and government ID. Professional accounts cost $39.99/month and are required for advertising and Brand Registry access. Start with Professional.
