In this blog post, we will outline 8 different methods for finding a profitable product to sell.
1) Research popular products by typing in keywords into Amazon's search bar. The results will show you what products are popular and selling well on Amazon.
2) Look for trends on Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest to find hot topics and products that people are interested in.
3) Use software and an extension like Helium10 to research keywords for profitable products. This tool can help you uncover profitable keywords that you may not have thought of before.
4) Pick a category that sells year round and is stable like Pets, Home, Fitness, Office, Health. You want to avoid categories that have a lot of seasonality or are too trendy, as these may not be as stable or profitable in the long run.
5) Look for the Best Seller Rank (BSR). You want 3 or more BSR in your product category so you know that one seller is not dominating the market.
6) Find keyword opportunities - a search for 'trash can' may bring up a lot of products, but a search for 'pink trash can' could be a lot less products with high volume searches, leaving potential to win those keywords.
7) Get a mentor! Find someone who has achieved the success you want and learn from them. Ask questions and get advice on how to find and sell products on Amazon.
8) Take Action and move quickly! Once you've found a product that you're interested in, don't wait too long to start selling it. The sooner you get started, the more successful you could be.
