Selling online, you don\u2019t have the luxury of months or even years of research before you launch. You need to be able to make a decision quickly before your competitors make it for you, so sometimes it\u2019s easy to ask yourself questions and make your choice from there. If you\u2019re wondering if you\u2019re on the right path to finding the right product to source for selling on Amazon, RepricerExpress<\/a> has got the guide for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. On a Scale of 1-10, How Well Do You Understand the Product?<\/h2>\n

If tying up your shoelaces is a 10 on the familiarity scale and black hole thermal radiation is a 1, rank how well you know the product you\u2019re sourcing. The better you understand a product, the better you\u2019ll be able to sell it to your buyers. After all, you\u2019ll need to be able to write amazing product descriptions and answer questions buyers might have.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. How Much Does the Product Cost?<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve mentioned in other blog posts that cost is a big contributing factor when it comes to sourcing the right product, and the magic range is between $12-50. Less than $10 and your buyers might see your products as cheap (not inexpensive), and more than $50 and you\u2019ll lose a lot of buyers looking for an affordable deal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. How Popular are the Keywords?<\/h2>\n

If a product doesn\u2019t have many keywords, that tends to mean not many people search for it. Think of it like trying to find a camping spot. The more detailed the directions, the easier it\u2019ll be to find it before sundown.<\/p>\n

When it comes to sourcing products for Amazon specifically, here\u2019s what you should be looking for:<\/p>\n
