How to Find the Perfect Product to Sell on Amazon
Are you looking to start selling on Amazon but don't know where to start? The key to success on Amazon is finding the perfect product to sell. In this article, we'll show you how to use data tools to identify high-demand, low-competition products that will help you make money on Amazon.
Understanding Amazon Search
Before we dive into product research, it's important to understand how people search for products on Amazon. Most people know what they want and will type it into the search bar. Your goal is to find a product that people are searching for frequently and then sell it to them.
Using X-Ray to Identify High-Demand Products
The first tool you'll need is X-Ray, a Chrome extension from Helium 10. X-Ray populates all the data you need into one box, making it easy to identify high-demand products. Look for products that people are searching for frequently and that have a lot of sales every month. Ideally, you want to find a product that has a lot of sales but not a lot of competition.
Analyzing the Competition
Once you've identified a high-demand product, it's time to analyze the competition. Look at the number of reviews your competitors have. If they have thousands of reviews, it may be too competitive for you to enter the market. Look for products with 10-70 reviews that are still making a lot of sales. This is proof that you can enter the market with a smaller number of reviews and still make money.
Keyword Research with Cerebro
Keyword research is essential for finding the perfect product to sell on Amazon. Use Cerebro to identify the keywords and phrases that people are using to find your product. This will help you optimize your product listing and make it easier for people to find your product.
Other Tools to Consider
In addition to X-Ray and Cerebro, there are other tools you can use to make selling on Amazon easier. Black Box is a great tool for finding random products to analyze. Follow-Up is a tool for sending emails to customers to encourage them to leave reviews. Refund Genie helps you recoup money from Amazon for refunds they may have missed. Profits is a tool for tracking your numbers and automating your accounting.
