If it seems like everyone is bragging about that one magic item that made them riches on Amazon, well, some of them are full of it. But some of those sellers also put in the time and effort of researching simple, viable products instead of guessing around. RepricerExpress<\/a> wants you to be one of those who hit the ground running, so here are some ideas and directions to help you find good products to sell on Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good Products are More of a Science Than an Art<\/h2>\n

If you look at something like Spanx<\/a>, it looks like founder Sara Blakely magically struck gold one day with a brilliant idea. One day, she cut up a pair of tights and turned that into a billion-dollar empire. But if you look more closely at the details, you\u2019ll see luck didn\u2019t play as big of a role as it seems.<\/p>\n

Blakely started generating ideas when she was just 16 and keeps a 99-page single-spaced book of ideas she\u2019s constantly coming up with. The vast majority of them won\u2019t approach the heights that Spanx did, but the core message is to be always thinking, evaluating and researching.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Figure Out if You\u2019re Going Wholesale or Private Label<\/h2>\n

Each has its benefits and is more of a matter of your personal preference and work style. Private label is better suited for sellers who want to put their own stamp of individuality on an item and can easily recognize how and when to market new features to better an existing product; wholesale<\/a> is more for sellers who\u2019d rather capitalize on an existing brand\u2019s name and reputation.<\/p>\n

Next, you\u2019ll want to settle on a fulfillment method for selling on Amazon. Fulfillment by Amazon<\/a> (FBA) is the most well-known option, making your products Prime-eligible and having Amazon take care of the entire fulfillment process. This luxury can cost the most, as you can expect to pay around 35% of the sale price on each item.<\/p>\n

Fulfillment by Merchant<\/a> (FBM) is the opposite of that, where all things fulfillment (e.g. storage, picking, packaging, shipment, etc.) are your responsibility. If you go this route, it does mean a lot more work on your part, but you\u2019ll also pay less fees.<\/p>\n

In the middle is Seller Fulfilled Prime<\/a> (SFP), which is where you\u2019re in charge of the fulfillment process but can make your products Prime-eligible. Essentially, you have to abide by the two-day shipping guarantee and work with Amazon partners, but the rest is in your hands. Costs vary based on how well you can negotiate with warehouses, couriers and the like.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Eliminate Products to Narrow Your Search<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, it\u2019s easier to immediately cross items off<\/em> the list instead of adding to them. There are time-tested criteria that tend to result in difficult sales and high costs to you, so avoid items that are:<\/p>\n
