One of the most common questions I hear from aspiring entrepreneurs is whether the Amazon marketplace is too saturated. Bry addresses this head-on, explaining that while competition is fierce, the opportunity to build a real, multimillion-dollar brand is as good as it has ever been. The key, he emphasizes, is to focus on building a legitimate business with high-quality products. It is not about finding a cheap product to sell.

So, what is the secret to finding a winning product on Amazon? For Bry, it all comes down to product research. He considers this the single most important factor in his business. He learned early on that skipping the due diligence process can lead to costly mistakes. In our conversation, Bry shares how a Voltage Coaching call sparked the idea for his top-selling product. We identified a gap in the market where a product was being sold with a note saying it “does not include” certain accessories. By simply including those accessories, Bry created a more valuable product that quickly took off. This is a perfect example of how to add value and differentiate yourself from the competition.
