I think I won't be wrong if I say that 100% of OA and Wholesale sellers on Amazon searched for their first forks themselves. Some continue to do it themselves, others prefer to buy profitable deals, and others have hired entire teams of researchers.
In this article, we will analyze the main mistakes that make entrepreneurs lose time and money, and researchers also lose their reputation.
Mistake #1: Relying on intuition
Every entrepreneur sometimes gets ideas that make fireworks go off in their heads and butterflies fly in their stomachs. “Yes, this is it! I’m absolutely sure! This is brilliant, the product will sell like hotcakes.”
And this really happens. But only for experienced sellers who have tested many forks, wasted a lot of money and gained experience of painful failures.
So if you're just starting out and you come up with an idea like this, you need to check it especially carefully, much more carefully than other options. Because in the heat of the moment it's very easy to ignore the details that turn a carriage into a pumpkin.
Mistake #2: Not using special software
No one doubts that for tightening three on page seo service hundred screws it is better to take a screwdriver than a manual screwdriver. So, for analyzing products on Amazon it is better to use specialized tools, especially since there are hundreds of them. It is easy to find a tool that optimizes any stage of the process, from a quick analysis of the issue to a detailed analysis of promising options.
The most popular software used by all Amazon users without exception is Keepa , which shows data on the history of product sales.
Another valuable tool is the Seller Assistant App family of plugins , which display all important information about the product directly on Amazon pages. These plugins speed up the analysis several times.
Mistake #3: Not knowing Amazon's rules
Some Amazon rules are common knowledge, others you only learn about when you encounter them personally. And it may turn out that a seemingly perfect product is not suitable for sale.
What should you always remember?
Closed categories. These are the product groups for which you must first obtain permission from the site. The current list of closed categories can be found in Seller Central .
Items that are prohibited or restricted for sale. Some items cannot be sold, even if you have permission to trade in this category. Luckily, there is an official list of such items .
Products with special delivery or storage conditions: large, fragile, flammable, melting. To sell such products, it is better to assess your strengths and possible risks in advance. For most beginners, these are not very profitable options.
Mistake #4: Ignoring Brand Requirements
In addition to Amazon's rules, many brands may have their own requirements. In addition to the obvious story with Private label, some brands may impose restrictions on those who want to sell them.
For example, a manufacturer may have exclusive distribution agreements with other sellers or have pricing policy restrictions.
Selling certain products without permission from the manufacturer can result in a so-called "Intellectual Property Complaint." Such complaints are a common reason for listings and accounts to be blocked.
Luckily, most potentially problematic brands are easy to spot. Just install the free Seller Assistant App / Warning plugin , which will display a notification about possible complaints.
