The 20-Step Amazon Success Blueprint<\/h1>\n

1. Research Product Opportunities<\/h3>\n

When thinking of what to sell online, it\u2019s best to look for smaller, lightweight products that are easy to sell and ship.<\/p>\n

Start by going to Amazon and clicking the down arrow under \u2018All\u2019 in the search box.<\/p>\n

You will see a list of categories.<\/p>\n

Choose one that appeals to you and look within that category.<\/p>\n

Bestsellers and popular products will show up on the category home page.<\/p>\n

\"Selling
Researching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you keep drilling down into sub-categories, you will see the bestsellers listed for each section.<\/p>\n

Click on a few products in the top 5 and scroll down to Product Information.<\/p>\n

You will see a number called \u201cBest Sellers Rank\u201d (BSR).<\/p>\n

This is the overall ranking of that item in the main category (i.e. \u2018Home & Kitchen\u2019).<\/p>\n

If the first few bestsellers in your sub-category are all below 10,000, it\u2019s a good indicator that these products sell several per day.<\/p>\n

Look at your competition as well.<\/p>\n

If there are several similar products at the top that have over 300 reviews, it may be hard to compete.<\/p>\n

However, if many have 200 or fewer reviews, there is good potential for you to squeeze in among the top in short order.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to find a good product that will give you a decent profit margin, such as $10 or more.<\/p>\n

If you see an item on Amazon selling for $29.95, you\u2019ll want to make sure that your total costs to produce and ship are less than $20.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget Amazon\u2019s cut as well!<\/p>\n

TIP: We like to be able to triple the cost price of an item. <\/em><\/p>\n

For example, if we can source an iPhone case for $5, we want to be able to sell it for $15. <\/em><\/p>\n

If we can source a magnetic photo frame for $10, we hope to sell it for $30 or more.<\/em><\/p>\n

TIP #2: The product research step can be accelerated using BlackBird.<\/em><\/p>\n

The screenshot below shows how you can filter out thousands of products in the \u2018Arts, Crafts & Sewing\u2019 category in a matter of seconds. <\/em><\/p>\n

Not only that, but you can see the estimated monthly sales volume (click the image below to enlarge it)!<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Establishing Your Product USP<\/h3>\n

Now that you have found a potential product to sell, research all your main competitors.<\/p>\n

Better yet, look at their negative reviews!<\/p>\n

By reading all the negatives about a product, you have an opportunity to find a way to solve the problem buyers are having.<\/p>\n

What can you do to make your product stand out from the competition?<\/h2>\n

\"SellingThink of reasons why a customer would choose your product over that of others.<\/p>\n

Is it better quality? Does it have a special feature that no other product has?<\/p>\n

Does it solve a problem that is common to other products in an innovative way?<\/p>\n

To cite a real-world example, there are dozens of models of garlic presses selling on Amazon.<\/p>\n

Most look the exact same (go ahead, take a look!).<\/p>\n

When viewing negative reviews, you may find a few complaints about it being hard to clean.<\/p>\n

How can you solve this problem?<\/p>\n

By adding a special tab with tiny hard rubber needles that exactly match the holes.<\/p>\n

This pushes all garlic pieces out of the unit, making it easier to clean.<\/p>\n

You have now just differentiated yourself with a built-in \u201ccleaning system\u201d for your product!<\/p>\n

When you go to look for a supplier, talk about customizing the product.<\/p>\n

Most will be happy to do everything they can for you.<\/p>\n

The per-unit cost may increase, but this will justify positioning your product as premium and with a premium price tag to match.<\/p>\n

3. Find a Supplier<\/h3>\n

Finding Suppliers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alibaba is a great place to search for suppliers.<\/p>\n

There are thousands of manufacturers waiting for your order, though there are a few things to keep in mind, as not all suppliers are created equal.<\/p>\n

First, there are special filters to weed out lower-quality suppliers in the search bar.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to make sure they are:<\/p>\n

Gold Supplier<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 these companies pay for their listing, so they likely won\u2019t be \u201cfly by night\u201d companies.<\/em><\/p>\n

Assessed Supplier<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A 3rd party assessor has toured the factory premises to make sure they really are who they say they are. An official document will be available.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trade Assurance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 If you send the supplier money, and they do not deliver, Alibaba will refund you up to the coverage available. If the coverage offered if high, this usually means they are to be trusted and are in good standing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Create a list of possible choices, and email them one by one.<\/p>\n

Note when you receive a response, as their level of communication and commitment to customers is definitely something to consider as well.<\/p>\n

Just as you want to make sure you are dealing with a reputable company, the supplier will also want to make sure they are dealing with a reputable buyer!<\/p>\n

When you initially contact a supplier, use a professional but personalized approach.<\/p>\n

Do your research and find the contact name, and talk about something unique about their company, which you can find in their \u2018About Us\u2019.<\/p>\n

Show that you have researched them and you are serious about doing business.<\/p>\n

4. Calculate Your Profit Margin<\/h3>\n

While many suppliers show their prices on Alibaba, everything is negotiable.<\/p>\n

However, the price of the product is only one factor in the profit equation. Think about the following when planning your product:<\/p>\n
