Amazon is the largest online retailer. For a successful start on this platform, your own efforts are enough, without hiring additional staff. The main part of the work consists of the ability to find profitable goods.

In this article, we will talk about the secrets of working with Amazon FBA and the most popular and best-selling products on this platform in 2022.

What is Amazon FBA

Amazon is a global leader in trading platforms. It is constantly evolving and increasing sales. FBA means Fulfillment by Amazon. In short, this is the sale of goods from Amazon warehouses. The seller ships their goods to Amazon's warehouses where they are stored, packaged and shipped to the customer in the event of a sale. The scheme of work is as follows:

1. You register on the site as a seller.
2. Next, you need to choose the product that is planned to be sold through this platform.
3. Then the site automatically assigns a warehouse where you ship your goods.
4. Sales can begin as soon as a shipment arrives at the Amazon Order Center.
5. At this stage, your work ends because your participation is not required for packaging, shipping, and customer service.

Amazon FBA Sales Options

You can sell new and used goods. You can also resell the goods you bought, but they are still in the original packaging. Below are the main sales options:

• Personal trademarked products. You find a manufacturer and release his product with your own brand.
• Resale of existing goods. Buy cheaper — sell more expensive on Amazon. This sales method is easier than personal-branded products and less risky.
• Sale of used or returned goods. For example, it can be books and textbooks. You can make a deal with major retailers to resell their returned goods.
• Wholesale goods. You find a brand that is not yet represented on the Amazon platform and conclude an agreement that you will sell their products on your own. It is better to start with local manufacturers who have recently appeared but are making a unique product. The advantages of this sale method are the almost complete absence of competition.

Amazon FBA Benefits

The main advantages of using the Amazon FBA program compared to sending goods yourself:

• Availability of warehouses. No need to think about where to store the goods.
• Delivery. Amazon has taken care of logistics and provides the entire infrastructure, which significantly reduces the risks for us, third-party sellers.
• Communication with customers. Amazon does everything on its own, so all issues, including returns, are decided by its employees.
• Access to Amazon Prime customers. Amazon Prime is a fast delivery program. The customers buy, and, accordingly, spend money, twice as much. This means that you will get more sales. Only FBA sellers have access to Amazon Prime customers.

New Amazon sellers are earning between $26 000 — $810 000 per year in profits. According to JungleScout, more than half of Amazon’s $280 billion revenue in 2019 was fueled by its third-party sellers.

How to choose products

When choosing a product to sell through Amazon, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Price. The cost of goods should be such that when selling no more than thirty units per day, the seller makes a profit. Usually this is a price in the range of 15 to 30 dollars.
• The size. The delivery price depends on the dimensions of the selected product. In addition, small items take up little storage space. Therefore, the smaller the product — the better.
• Resistance to damage. Any product is delivered twice: from the supplier to the warehouse and from the warehouse to the buyer. So that the client does not receive a broken or low-quality product, try to choose simple products, without removable parts, batteries, and fragile elements. Otherwise, the seller will have to make a replacement or refund.
• Cost price. If all the same the goods will be damaged upon delivery, the seller loses the cost of one unit of production. Therefore, choose products at the best price. In addition, such products are easier to announce promotions and discounts.

The ideal product for Amazon must be in demand; the level of competition allows a beginner to break through; the product must be of good quality; this product complies with all Amazon policies.

Try to choose a product that does not depend on the season, especially if you are just starting to work with Amazon. This will simplify product planning and logistics. You can make good money on trending products, but it’s enough to make a mistake with the choice or be late with the purchase for a month and the audience’s interest will drop, and your product will remain in stock.
