Why Is Jungle Scout Market Closing?
As of the publication of this blog, Jungle Scout Market has not identified a reason for the sudden closure. After further questioning, their staff supplied no answers or details, only stating that "At this time, there is no plan to sell to a third party."
The recent acquisition of Downsteam by Jungle Scout, aimed at expanding Amazon advertising capabilities may lend some insight. Perhaps Jungle Scout is refocusing on their more profitable SaaS model, while reducing a revenue stream that didn't fit their core identity.
Regardless of the reasoning, the short notice has Amazon Sellers scrambling to get connected with high level Amazon Marketing Agencies and experts before October.
Where Can I Find The Best Amazon Freelancers Now?
Upwork.com
Freelancer.com
Fiverr.com
Jungle Scout market supplied a list of the above marketplaces. Interestingly enough, this is the same list of marketplaces that Jungle Market mentioned by name when launching their own product. At the time, they stated that Jungle Market would be better for Amazon Sellers because it was specific to Amazon only. This is a promise that has held true through 2021.
Places such as Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr are simply not the best options for finding Amazon Freelancers. As a result, finding quality Amazon marketing agencies will become far more difficult immediately. Many that depended on Jungle Scout Market are going to be left out in the cold on new platforms where they need to start over building relationships.
