**Finding the Perfect First Product to Sell on Amazon in 2024** 🔑 As the founder and CEO of Jungle Scout, I’ve been selling on Amazon for over 10 years. If I had to start all over today, I’m going to be discussing exactly how I would go about finding that perfect first product and making my first $10,000 on Amazon.
Choosing the Right Product Category
When choosing a product category, a few tips I have for you are: 1. Try to find a product that’s relatively simple. Products that are more complex or complicated are more likely to have issues and be a larger headache for you. 2. It’s nice to sell inside a category that you at least know a little bit about. This makes it easier to find ways to improve on existing products.
Filtering for Profitable Products
When searching for products, I’m going to apply a few key filters: 1. **Standard Product Tier Size**: I want products that can fit in a shoe box, as oversized items have more complexities and higher fees. 2. **Good ROI**: I only want products that have at least $15 in net revenue after Amazon fees. 3. **Healthy Demand**: I’ll only look at products selling at least 100 units per month.
Using the Product Database
The Jungle Scout product database allows me to search through millions of Amazon products using these filters. As I browse, I’m looking for: – Simple, non-complex products – “Weird” or obscure products that may have less competition I’ll add any promising product ideas to my “Product Tracker” to further research later.
Improving on Existing Products
Another strategy is to find products that are selling well, even though they have poor reviews. This indicates there is demand, but room for improvement. I can use Jungle Scout’s “Review Analysis” tool to understand the common customer complaints and how to make the product better than the competition.
Leveraging the Opportunity Finder
The Jungle Scout Opportunity Finder allows me to analyze entire product niches, not just individual SKUs. I can filter for niches with: – High average monthly sales (at least 200 units) – Minimum $20 average price – Medium or lower seasonality This helps me identify broader opportunities beyond just individual products.
Calculating Profitability
Once I’ve identified some promising product ideas, I use Jungle Scout’s tools to estimate the landed cost and overall profitability. I aim for at least a 100% ROI on the landed cost. Factors like product weight, shipping costs, and Amazon advertising fees all impact profitability, so I carefully analyze these to ensure I’m selecting a highly profitable product. Remember, finding the perfect first product takes time and effort. But by using the powerful tools in Jungle Scout, you can uncover hidden gems and set yourself up for success on Amazon in 2024.
