Working in any business can be a lonely experience, especially if you’re working from home. This type of lifestyle can also be particularly isolating as an Amazon seller, since you don’t have on-site colleagues or team members to collaborate with. It can be difficult to stay motivated when you don’t have anyone to hold yourself accountable.
Thankfully though, there are plenty of ways to cope with the feeling of isolation and it all starts by actively seeking ways to connect and engage with other people who share similar interests. If you feel like your social network isn’t doing enough for you, then look for communities, forums or Facebook groups that are dedicated to folks within the Amazon space. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself and start building relationships! Your peers can give you invaluable advice and be a great source of support when times get tough.
