Amazon Product Hunting Methods

THE METHOD OF PRODUCT HUNTING

? A product should have as minimal weight as possible, no much than half a KG (0.50kg) per unit.

? A product which is going to sell should be checked that how much people are selling the product , and the people selling that specific product whether have good social profile or not.

#social profile?

? social profile means an account seller ratings and reviews .

? The reviews of that product of the following account should be somewhere between 700 - 800 or more.

? The ratings of the product of your competitor should be 4.5+.

? If a product has 4.5+ ratings and 700 - 800 reviews , the risk of return & refund is very low. If a product has less than 3 rating and less than 500 reviews, then the risk of return and refund is very high.

? A product that is going to be sold on amazon should not be fragile , brittle , glass like product or dangerous and battery operated, in which the risk of damage to the product is very high or it may cause problems while shipping or in warehouse like catching fire, or chemicals that may cause damage to surrounding while shipping like fire catching chemicals.

? A product should have a value of around 11$ to 40$ per unit & the profit margin should be 20% to 30%.

? A product may require certain types of #certifications like health related category. The amazon requires some sort of certificates in certain products like health related products, which makes complex situation for a new amazon seller to fulfill all those requirements. Such products are called gated category products. Such products should be avoided to save time and energy.

? a product should have low competition, high demand in a market place and a good profit margin.

? A product should not be trendy or seasonal. if a product you are going to launch is trendy like a fashion related product, then it would cause problems for the new sellers. For example a shirt which is trending on amazon may stop selling after that season or trend, in that condition the seller with a big stock may go in loss and the seller may be compelled to liquidate that inventory. In the same way a seasonal product may have some profit for sometime, but the demand of that product will become low after that specific season, in such situation the seller will have a big amount of stock without any demand.

? A product should not be patent of other sellers. If you are going to sell a product which is the patent of other sellers, it may cause problems and your account may be suspended by amazon.

? A product should not be expiry date related , if you are required to show the expiry date on a certain product, you should avoid such product, it may be a beauty product or it may be a food product. if the product having expiry date is stocked in the warehouse for sometime and the expiry date becomes near than the demand of such product will become low and the seller may go in loss.
