Amazon FBA: How to Optimize Your (Global) Product Listing and Get More Sales

As someone that has been selling on Amazon for some time now, I understand just how important it is to have a listing that converts. The title, bullet points, product images, the description – are all separate pieces of one whole. These pieces must tell a story about the product in such a way that it seduces the passing visitor into purchasing your product. These pieces must clearly convey why your product deserves to be picked over the thousands of others.

That being said, I see an infinite amount of product pages on Amazon that are just horrible. They clearly abuse keywords, also known as “keyword stuffing”, and they violate a ton of other Amazon FBA rules and policies. It’s really a matter of time before Amazon will take those listings down and get those sellers in trouble.

Amazon FBA: How to Find Manufacturers in China and Order Private Label Products

In my previous post, I talked about the importance of PPC advertising on the Amazon FBA platform. I discussed the effects of negative keywords on your business and profit margins, something that not many sellers take into consideration.

Amazon FBA: How to Use NEGATIVE KEYWORDS In Your PPC Ads

If you sell on the Amazon FBA platform, then you know just how important it is to run PPC campaigns, especially at the early stages of the product launch. They make your product visible to potential customers even when there are no product reviews and the ranking is low. Using ads is simply a must for every seller.

People spend a lot of time analyzing and tweaking their ads, but what I have noticed is that not many talk about negative keywords, which are just as important to a profitable campaign as the normal keywords are. Negative keywords are those keywords that you do not want in your campaign. They are the keywords that do not generate sales for you.

Not only negative keywords do not generate sales, but they cost you money. Therefore, in order to save money and to maximize your profits, find out what your negative keywords are and make sure that you have included them in your campaigns.

Working Hard vs Working Smart: Learn to Make Real Progress

For every entrepreneur out there, it is common knowledge that in order to achieve something, you must work your ass off! Of course, this could be said more softly, but it wouldn’t get across the image of how much work your dreams really require. Any “entrepreneur” that tells you that you can make big money without much work is lying to you.

That being said, people often get caught up in the idea that if they work hard enough or long enough, they will become successful. I also used to think this way, and unfortunately, it’s not true, at least not entirely. Why? Because there exists the concept of working hard vs working smart.

Shipping Products to Amazon FBA: How to Choose a Freight Forwarder

In this post, I want to talk about shipping products to Amazon and how to choose a freight forwarder that’s worth your money.

I always say that selling with Amazon FBA is a great business model if done correctly. It’s fairly easy to do, it’s profitable and you can quickly scale the business if you have the means to do so. But what I love most about Amazon FBA is that it’s a passive business. 

Most of the actual work happens only when I research products and get my listing up. Other than that, I put in the minimum amount of effort. I can check the Amazon seller account every couple of hours and see my products being sold and money coming in, while I didn’t lift a finger to make it happen. A truly incredible time we live in…

That being said, just like with any other business out there, difficulties and problems may arise at any given moment.
