Is It Worth The Money?
The simple answer is YES! If you plan to start an Amazon business, or already have one, having the remarkable array of tools provided by Jungle Scout will put you way ahead of the millions of competitors all trying to get a share of the biggest marketplace in the world.
And the whole platform is designed by one of the most successful Amazon entrepreneurs in the world who has learnt the hard way how not to do it and then shared his knowledge by creating Jungle Scout.
If you try to do it without such tools you are guaranteed to lose far more in lost (or no) profit than the cost of joining the successful people.
Is it for me?
If you plan on going down the route of building a business on Amazon, the answer to this question is a resounding “yes”. Jungle Scout has to be the go to platform for everything you need to put you ahead of the competition.
However, you need to be aware that, in order to start an amazon business you will need a reasonable amount of cash to start with in order to buy inventory. Of course you can buy small amounts and re-invest the profits, which is how many successful Amazon businesses started out.
If you can’t commit much or any cash to it then maybe look at other ways to make money on line such as affiliate marketing.
Which Plan?
In my opinion the “Suite” package should give most aspiring Amazon entrepreneurs all the tools they need. And, if you get to the stage where you need “Professional” you won’t be asking this question! But you can always upgrade.
But if you really just want to dip your toe in the water and find out whether Amazon FBA is for you, then “Basic” will get you through that stage.
See for Yourself
I could list all the different tools provided by Jungle Scout but I’d recommend you head over to their site and see for yourself.
And check out some of the introduction videos Greg has on the site, they’re inspirational without trying to promise instant riches if you “Buy Now!”.
And when you’re the next Greg Mercer…..remember who sent you there!!

Hi Adrian,
Amazon is the number one internet e-shop. It is also the most popular among affiliate marketers for many reasons. However, for the novice affiliate marketer Amazon could be a headache. I think the Jungle Scout program could offer the solutions needed to those who want to set-up a successful online business. I also happen to agree with you, the suite program is worth joining as it gives more than enough.
Thanks for the review.
Nektarios
Hi Nektarios, thanks for checking out my review and I agree with your comments about Amazon for affiliate marketers. There’s no doubt it’s the best place to set out a business on-line selling actual products, and Jungle Scout is undoubtedly the best toolkit on the market for anyone looking to sell with Amazon.
I agree, building a business does take time, tools, but it also takes a lot of hard work above all else. I’ve been trying very hard to succeed with Amazon lately and I’ve come across many “top” tools that promise to skyrocket my conversion rates.
Thank you for creating this amazing review because I finally think I found the one I needed…
Hi Gorjan
Thanks for checking out my review, and I’m really pleased you found it helpful.
The main reason people fail in on-line business is that they think it’s instant riches! As you say, it takes hard work, but the rewards can be large and long-lasting.
The other reason they fail is not doing the research…and that’s where a tool such as Jungle Scout is essential.
I wish you every success my friend!
Adrian
