If you're looking to become an Amazon FBA seller, this article will introduce you to the significant differences between an individual and a professional account. Both seller plans have their preferable differences and features.
Where to start first: the individual or the business account?
Individual Amazon Account
The account you choose will reflect the size of your business. For example, the Amazon Individual Seller's account is perfect if you:

You want to just sell the items in your home
Benefits of an Individual Amazon Account
It is a Free Account (no monthly subscription of $39.99)
You are selling under 40 items per month, and that means 40 units in total, not 40 different items.
There is an $0.99 per item fee with each item you sell (if you do not sell an item you do not get charged that fee)

Amazon Selling Plan: A comparison
The following table summarizes the differences between Individual and Professional selling plans.

Consider this: the Amazon Store Brand Registry
If, as a seller, you would like to stand out among your competitors and not waste time selling and ranking on Amazon, consider Amazon's Brand Registry Program.
The benefits of registering a trademark and using the Brand Registry include:
You are building and protecting a brand you worked hard for. The products you sell, go through your own quality testing, meaning you stand behind what you sell.
You have more power in reporting a violation such as that of intellectual property infringements, and addressing counterfeit products and listings.
In the eyes of Amazon, your brand becomes a priority. A Brand Registry Seller gains access to unlimited, store enhancing tools which include the ability to create enriched content allowing a seller to stand out. Amazon's A+ content offers more transparency about your brand and the how your story resulted in what you sell today.

Featured Amazon Seller: Birch Boys Chaga
This is a series of product pages where I have created the content and SEO. The content has to be very specific and pass Amazon's strict rules and regulations. This particular product line required thorough research and #factchecks to navigate through information regulated by the FDA. Amazon sellers go through a rigorous accuracy check that challenges and prevents a product of making false claims regarding health benefits and cures.

Live Longer. Lose Weight. Clear Your Mind.
Why Birch Boys' Reishi Tea ?
Birch Boys' Reishi & Rose Hips Tea is made from high quality Red Reishi not Black Reishi Mushrooms.
Most products on the market today are made from the inferior Black Reishi mushroom.
The Red Reishi Mushroom is highest in potency of the three available varieties.
Do you want to live a healthier life ?
Reishi contains polysaccharides - molecules that promote longevity by boosting our immune system. The same molecules are responsible for the skin’s ability to hydrate and retain water, making it more youthful and wrinkle free.
Do you have trouble losing weight? Reduce your cravings for that unhealthy, late night snack.
Reishi combats cravings by targetting fat and sugar metabolism, helps in preventing obesity, diabetes and regulates sugar levels. In addition to prevention, Reishi assists in the decline of bad bacteria in the gut thus making weightloss more effective.
Reishi Facts:
Reishi has been used in China for over 2,000 years
Monks and spiritual seekers named Reishi "The Mushroom of Spiritual Potency"
Red Reishi is more potent than Black Reishi.
Indigenous cultures have brewed and enjoyed Reishi tea for thousands of years for its therapeutic benefits and calming qualities.

Birch Boys of the Adirondacks
Family Origins
One hot summer day a few years ago,l helped myself toa glM< of what lthought wasi<edtea inmy grandmother's refrigerator Thatmar.:ed the lleginning of our chaga hunting adventures. We made a great team. One day, my grandmother encouraged me to come with her to a festival at the Adirondack Museum to try selling chunks of chaga. ln about four hours, l had made around $200 dollars and completely sold out.
The people that we have met, our customers, use chaga to gain more energy, clear up their skin, and even alleviate chronic pain associated with ailments such arthritis. l realized that l had an extreme opportunity to help people. l wanted everybody to try chaga and experience its healing benefits. From day one, my mission has always been to make chaga a household name.
Chaga brings people together.
The experiences and retationships l have built resulting from this journey have been more incredible than any weird-kid trying-to-sell mushrooms could have ever dreamed of. And as much as I wish I could thank my Grandma, if she could see what Birch Boys has become, l know she'd be incredibly proud.
