5 Steps to Become an Amazon Seller

Think you don't have what it takes to be an Amazon Seller? Think again.

While selling your products or brand on Amazon may seem impossible for a stay-at-home mom (or dad), the truth is that the process is short and easy. Here are the steps you need to take to become an Amazon Seller today.

If you want to sell products online on Amazon but don’t know where to start, these tips can help! Click To Tweet

1. Register for Amazon Seller Central and Consider Amazon Seller Fees



There is a subscription fee that you will have to pay monthly, along with some other selling fees. 

The Amazon Seller Central subscription gives you the ability to list your products for sale on Amazon. Registering is easy, and it only takes a few minutes.

Before signing up for this, make sure you know your product will make enough money to offset the subscription cost. 

Keep in mind that your product may not sell very well at first. Consider setting up your own online shop to bring in more business.

2. Have a Product Ready to Sell with the Right ASIN

Whether you already have an online store or you just came up with a brilliant product, Amazon is the place to sell it. 

Once you register, have the product ready to sell. It doesn't matter if you start with multiple products or just one, as long as you have something to sell.

Every Amazon product has a unique ASIN that makes it easy to manage your catalog of items on the platform. With tools such as Helium 10, you can get multiple ASINs and export them to a spreadsheet for inventory management. 

You can try the Helium 10 Chrome Extension for free before buying it to see if it works for you. 

3. List Your First Product and Officially Become an Amazon Seller


To sell products on Amazon, you have to create a listing for each one. 

You can either match an existing listing that someone has already made or create your own for your unique product. Creating a new listing can be challenging, but it can be just as easy with the right tools.

Most products must have an ISBN, GTIN, UPC, or an EAN. These codes are different from the ASIN, which is specific to Amazon. 

If you have a new product that does not match any of these, you may have to purchase one or request an exemption. 

Following the product ID is other information, including SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), product title, images, descriptions and search terms.

4. Get the Right Marketing Tools to Succeed as an Amazon Individual Seller

Many Amazon Sellers pay for extra tools to help them in their marketing techniques. One such tool is RepricerExpress. It enables the sellers to customize their pricing strategies and set up margins for price ranges.

Another tool that is very useful for Amazon Sellers is the Helium 10 Chrome Extension. This extension can help with product research, listings, review management, and more.

These tools are game-changers for many Amazon Sellers.

5. Advertise Your Product


There are many ways to get your product out to the general population, but a few work better than the others. One strategy is to run a deal or a coupon, which will attract customers who wouldn't usually pay full price.

Another strategy is to try to have the lowest price available. Many Amazon customers look for the lowest price when searching for a specific product, which could be an easy way to get more products sold. 

After you've sold some of your products, encourage customers to leave reviews. It will boost your rating and assure future customers of the quality of your product.

Conclusion

If you have an innovative product or an online store, why not become an Amazon Seller? 

If you already have an online store, you could potentially double your profits by having two selling platforms at once. If this is your first product, Amazon is a great platform to get you started.

    I have sold items on Ebay in the past, but never thought about selling on Amazon! If I go back to selling, I will probably consider Amazon too.
