8 Great Amazon Product Research Tips For Success - EP126

Most Amazon sellers struggle with product research and choosing either their first product or their next product. Perhaps they have had a few products fail in the past and they are hesitant now and don't want to fail. We've all been there. In this podcast episode I put together 8 Amazon product research tips and strategies that you can use to help you find great products to sell on Amazon FBA. 

I always recommend that you use a great Amazon product research tool like Jungle Scout to help aid you in this process. You need a good tool to help discover product opportunities as well as help you validate and verify critical data on Amazon. 

AMAZON PRODUCT RESEARCH TIPS

  • Pick boring products
    • There will be less competition selling products that aren't exciting 
      • Focus on Arts and Crafts, Office Supplies and Storage
  • Think Sub Niches
    • Most sellers don't dig deep enough to find odd or unique categories that you need to drill deep down into. This is where the gold is. 
  • Sell products that are easily gift-able
    • You can charge more and stand out when your product is gift-able
      • Explore selling gift-able products for retirement, weddings, bachelor parties, mothers day, fathers day, etc...
  • Use Google Trends
    • Use the filters and search bar to dig to find what ideas, topics and products are currently trending
    • Pay attention to pop culture and what's happening in the news
      • Gender reveal products, re-usable straws and bags
  • Facebook Groups are pure gold
    • Join lots of Facebook groups for niches that you are interested in
      • Be a fly on the wall and observe what people are talking about
      • What products are other sellers trying to promote in these groups?
  • Join deal sites and groups that other Amazon sellers are using to launch products
    • Pay attention to products that are being launched and avoid commonly launched products 
  • Use Pinterest and Etsy for Amazon product research ideas
    • Use the filters to find popular topics and products
    • You will find unique items with these platforms
  • Use niche websites
    • Get off of Amazon and use Google to find leading niche websites 
      • Explore their best sellers, featured products and unique items they are selling

8 Great Amazon Product Research Tips For Success - EP126

Welcome To Episode #125 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I share my opinions and thoughts on some of the recent Amazon seller account suspensions and the use of Amazon launch services.

My Thoughts on the Amazon Account Suspensions and Launch Services - EP125

Recently you may have heard of some reports going around about sellers getting their Amazon accounts suspended by Amazon. It appears that some of these violations were from rank manipulation from the use of Amazon launch services. In this podcast I share my thoughts and opinions on the subject and I also share my advice on launching products on Amazon in the current climate. 

WHAT I THINK: I think Amazon is looking to detect larger scale manipulation and sometimes smaller sellers get caught up in the web. I would however make sure you aren't doing anything at scale to show up on Amazon's radar. If your product has tons of deeply discounted sales attached to it now I think that sends up red flags to Amazon. It's best if things appear natural to Amazon so suddenly getting 100 reviews on a brand new product may not look natural to Amazon and could lead to issues with your ASIN and account. 

If you are using an Amazon launch service and are still having great results with getting your product rank then proceed with caution going forward. Ultimately just be safe so you can protect your account from any issues. 

IF YOU WANT TO USE AMAZON LAUNCH SERVICES: 

  • Contact the site or service and ask them about their process for launching products
    • Who are their buyers?
    • How do they distribute your links?
    • How do they distribute your codes?
  • If the Amazon launch service says they are within Amazon TOS then take that with a grain of salt. 
    • They may have been compliant in the past but not anymore as Amazon changes their system and guidelines. 
    • Try to avoid launching to professional freebie deal seekers.
    • Ultimately you are responsible for your account activity 

MY ADVICE: 

I think the best route forward for any Amazon seller is to build your own audience that you can launch product to. That way you control everything and you are building a real asset that you can keep using again and again. 

You should either be building your own e-mail list or ManyChat list. Both are great and have their advantages. 

 

If you haven't yet please check out Episode 122 where Michelle Barnum Smith breaks down ManyChat for Amazon sellers. It's a must listen.

Welcome To Episode #124 of the Amazon FBA Private Label Show Podcast!

In this episode I talk about the dark sides and negative aspects of being an online entrepreneur that nobody talks about in our community.

The Dark-sides of Entrepreneurship and Selling on Amazon FBA - EP124

Quitting your job to start your on online business can be a very exciting thing. Selling on Amazon FBA can be very financially rewarding and can literally change your life. There are a lot of positives to being your own boss and working from home. While the freedom to travel and live the laptop lifestyle often appears glamorous for many reasons there are actually a lot of drawbacks and negatives that you need to be aware of.

In this podcast I share some of the dark sides of becoming an online entrepreneur. Most people in our community don't often talk about these things so I figured I would share my point of view on the topic. 

TOPICS DISCUSSED: 

 

ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS LONELY 

  • Lack of daily human interaction
  • Traditional employment offers more daily interaction and socializing 
  • Depression is high for entrepreneurs
  • Work in coffee shops, co-working spaces and attend meetups 

 WORK LIFE BALANCE IS HARD

  • Being a business owner requires lots of time commitment 
  • Work to build a schedule that allows for free time as needed
  • Have designated work areas and non work areas in your house 

BEING YOUR OWN BOSS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

  • You need to create your own structure and plan your time wisely 
  • Holding yourself accountable can be challenging 
  • Working for a traditional employer creates automatic structure and accountability 

MISC ISSUES

  • You need to buy your own healthcare coverage which can be expensive 
  • Poor eyesight and poor health from sitting and staring at a screen all day
  • It's important to schedule time to exercise weekly 
  • Your health is your wealth
