Breaking past your first few thousand dollars in revenue on Amazon is one thing — but scaling to consistent, profitable growth is a whole different game. At Peakhawks, we’ve worked with sellers across Home & Kitchen, Beauty, Nutrition, and more, and we’ve seen a pattern: most sellers hit a wall around the $10K–$25K/month mark.

In this blog, let’s uncover why so many Amazon sellers struggle to scale and what you can do differently to go from stuck… to soaring.

1. They Treat Amazon Like a “Set It and Forget It” Platform

Many sellers launch a product, run a few ads, and expect the momentum to keep going forever. But Amazon rewards activity — constant optimization, refreshed creatives, and ongoing strategy.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Treat your Amazon business like a living system. Run weekly performance reviews, refresh your listing visuals every 6–8 weeks, and update your backend keywords regularly.

2. They Don’t Truly Understand Their Numbers

If you’re not tracking your true profit after ad spend, fees, and COGS, you might think you’re scaling… when you’re really just burning cash.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Use tools like Sellerboard, Shopkeeper, or a custom spreadsheet to track real profitability — including ACoS, TACoS, and blended margins. Make decisions based on data, not guesses.

3. They Underestimate the Power of Creatives

In saturated niches like Home & Kitchen or Beauty, your product photos, A+ content, and video ads can make or break your brand. Yet many sellers use basic or outdated visuals.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Invest in scroll-stopping creatives. Use comparison charts, lifestyle images, and mobile-optimized visuals. Test your main image — it’s your click magnet.

4. They Only Focus on Sponsored Products

Sponsored Products are great — but they’re just the beginning. High-growth sellers dominate Sponsored Brands, Display, and Video Ads to own more real estate on search pages.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Build full-funnel PPC campaigns. Retarget with Sponsored Display. Showcase brand authority with Sponsored Brand Video. The more visible you are, the more you convert.

5. They Don’t Build a Brand

People don’t just buy products — they buy trust. If your listing feels like a “random seller” with no personality, it’s hard to build loyalty or charge premium prices.

✅ What to Do Instead:
Build a real brand presence:

• Use branded packaging

• Maintain consistent tone and visuals

• Create a Storefront

• Collect reviews actively
