Well yes and no. I mean Johnson has to say that, right? It’s his baby after all. But there’s a whole cottage industry of agencies and advisors making a livelihood as Amazon experts for their clients. Not to mention all the ecommerce specialists that offer expertise on Amazon and a lot more. Google agencies specializing in Amazon and you’ll come up with a pretty comprehensive list.
