The best way to discover what not to do is to read the forum every day. As for what you should do -- start off with going through ALL of Seller University (although if you have no interest in FBA you can skip that class).
All caps for this...
DO NOT DROP SHIP

Do:
1. take 4-5 weeks and watch and UNDERSTAND the videos in seller university:

2. Read the answers in this forum daily. That will show you the most frequent pitfalls
Don't:
ask friends and familiy to buy your product and to leave reviews or ratings / Click other sellers ads / give bad or good ratings to other sellers / hijack listings of other brands / try to sell big brands like NIKE, Adidas, etc. / buy from Alibaba etc. etc.
There are thousand Don'ts, these are just a few.

Hi @Seller_Q26BlvJUosDEI,
Steve from Amazon here. First, welcome to selling with Amazon and to the Forums! I understand that starting and scaling your business can be intimidating, I am dropping a super helpful thread below for your review.
Top nine tips for new sellers on Amazon
Below you can find helpful resources for creating listings and offers. If a product you are trying to sell is already listed, you will create an offer on the existing detail page. However, if it is a brand new product to the store, you will create a listing.
Below you can find helpful resources with getting started in the Fulfill by Amazon (FBA) program as well as how to send inventory to Amazon.
Get Started with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Create shipments with Send to Amazon
Once you have your listings/offers created, and inventory sent in, there are several factors/actions to consider as you are starting to scale your business. To start, you will want to ensure that you have a strong detail page with effective search keywords. If you have not tried advertising yet that is also something you can consider. Take a look below.
