Paid traffic to your own store VS Amazon for eCommerce

[LPPC]

Hi all,

Now that I've graduated, I have time again to resume my journey in eCommerce. Currently I'm trying to find a product to sell on my shopify store. The plan is to start off with sending paid Facebook traffic to my store to make sales. I'm testing different products to see which one sells well. I am pretty familiar now with Facebook ads, creating my own shopify store and making landing pages. I've had 2 sales now doing this, and it's the only 2 sales I've gotten in my life doing eCommerce.

I'm doubting my decision to go this path though. I'm wondering, is focusing on selling on Amazon a better idea for me (at this stage)? With selling on Amazon you get free organic traffic. I think that may make it much easier. But I think with paid traffic you might make more sales faster.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? What is the better way to continue? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
