Attention ☣ Product Categories to Avoid as A Beginner on AmazonFBA:
Products To Avoid Selling on Amazon FBA:
- Fragile products, simply for a question of transport, you will most of the time, 97% of the time take your products in China to send them to Europe, America or Australia. The transport is really a critical moment for fragile products and you can have a lot of loss when you arrive on Amazon.
- Electronic products are quite complicated when you start on AmazonFBA, because the only way to know if the product is good is when the customer is delivered and satisfied with his purchase. If you don’t have a VERY GOOD SUPPLIER, I don’t recommend this category even though it is a very, very profitable category.
Indeed, you have a very high risk of defective products and subsequently a significant risk of bad reviews that can ruin your business on Amazon.
- Cosmetic and edible products, for the simple reason of the regulations around these types of products. These are products that are really to be avoided as a beginner, because you don’t have any knowledge of current regulations to respect, unless you are a Specialized Lawyer and you certainly don’t have specific certificates since you are importing your products from another country with other regulations…
- Seasonal products, that is to say anything that will be sold periodically, such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day… The point that can slow down this activity is the complex management of stocks, because from the moment you have a stock shortage, it can really affect your ranking on Amazon.
Trending products are the type of product that can ruin you financially, especially if you buy a lot of inventory. The trending product is like a Buzz video, it makes a huge buzz but it disappears right away! It’s a product category that will fade over time, so avoid it.
How to Find Products That Are Profitable to Sell on AmazonFBA
You need to go to Helium 10 and select the black box, you have the option to search by product, keywords, competitor, niche or product targeting. So, it’s really up to you.
For our demonstration we will choose the search by product, first you have to choose the category, scroll down your list and make your choice. Then you have the revenue per month that the product makes on Amazon, I advise you to start quite low $2000, so you can see the products that start to sell quite well on Amazon but it will depend on what you want to do and your search strategy.
Then you have the price, the price at which the product is sold on Amazon. Avoid selling products with prices that are too low. You need to sell a lot of units to make a lot of money, so if you sell expensive products, you will make a lot of money with few units sold on Amazon.
Most importantly, you really need to be profitable in the end on your products with a minimum of 25 euros and a maximum of 55 euros, because you don’t have an unlimited budget as a beginner. So, we don’t want to have a product that costs too much to buy, because you must not forget that you have to buy stock. The recommended stock on Amazon is 200 units. Do your calculations.
Then we have the number of reviews on the product sheet. What I advise you is to put a low number of reviews between 80 and 200. Simply, for a beginner you cannot compete with older sellers and with more important customer reviews 600, 700 or even +1000 reviews, it will be very difficult for you to get sales for the same products.
Indeed, social proof is what you should aim for to develop your business on Amazon or on other marketplaces. As you can see, I encourage you to compete with sellers with less reviews as possible, so that you can actually hope to make it to the first page and get sales.
Regarding the review rating, it will help you specially to have an idea about the product sheets or simply the products that are not appreciated by the customers. Having a rating below 4 stars is to be considered as a bad product sheet and thanks to the experiences gained from this analysis of Helium 10 you will be able to learn from the mistakes of other sellers on Amazon.
For competing sellers, I advise you to reduce the number of sellers to the minimum to have less competition. Again, it depends on how you want to sell on AmazonFBA because of course other strategies are possible.
For product variations avoid selling multiple variations, focus on one product variation. For example, a desk lamp, black. Don’t start having other variations such as, White Lamp with 12 CM lengths, Blue Lamp with 17 CM lengths … you risk getting lost because of the higher inventory costs!
Here you are, click on search 🔎 now is thanks to Helium 10 you have the possibility to find your niche or your product to sell on AmazonFBA while following the criteria I just mentioned above.
