		Insights, Tips, and Strategies to Help You Stand Out and Succeed on AmazonIn this session, we'll explore the nuances of choosing a winning product on Amazon. Whether you're already exploring the platform or honing in on your options, let these 11 rules guide you in selecting a product set for triumph.Rule #1: The #1 seller on Amazon is selling at least $100,000/month minimumThis indicates a strong demand for the product and signifies potential opportunities for you to make an impact.Rule #2: The Number Ten Seller's PerformanceSimilarly, the number ten seller on Amazon should be selling at least thirty thousand dollars per month for your specific category. This shows that there is enough demand in the specific category that even the tenth seller has strong monthly sales. Rule #3: The #10 seller on Amazon has less than 500 reviewsIts standing is a result of a consistent commitment to delivering exceptional value and ensuring customer satisfaction. Rule #4: You can find at least 1 way to make your version of the product unique and significantly better than 99% of your competitors (longer battery life, durability, user-friendliness, etc..)Differentiation is the key. Your product should offer a unique and superior feature compared to 90-99% of your competitors. It could be a distinct design, improved functionality, or enhanced quality.Rule #5: The Price Point is at least $9.99 - $150This range allows for flexibility in promotions, advertising, and maintaining healthy profit margins.Rule #6: Repeat Purchase Product capability Consider products that have repeat purchase potential. Items like coffee, supplements, and vitamins can encourage customers to become repeat buyers, contributing to long-term revenue growth.Rule #7: You can clearly define and imagine who your ideal customer avatar is that would be proud to share your brand’s products on social media or at a party for exampleClearly define your ideal customer avatar. Understand their needs, preferences, and pain points. Your product should resonate with them, making them proud to share it with others.Rule #8: Smaller and Lighter (ping pong balls) is better than big and heavy (like a ping pong table) because of cheaper storage and shipping costs.When choosing a product, prioritize smaller and lighter options. Amazon fees can be significant, and reducing size and weight helps optimize profitability.Rule #9: You can think of at least 5 other products that compliment this product and would serve the same customer and fit under your brand.Choose a product that can be complemented by at least five other related items. By offering a range of products that cater to the same customer base, you can increase the lifetime value of each customer.Rule #10: Avoid Low-Price CommoditiesSteer clear of low-price commodities like paperclips or easily sourced items with narrow profit margins. Aim for products with at least 50% profit margins to ensure a sustainable business model.Rule #11: Low legal liability or infringement issues (patents/trademarks)Lastly, ensure your product selection has minimal legal liability, including issues related to patents and trademarks. Avoid products with potential infringement complications.Selecting the right product is crucial for the success of any business. By following these rules, you can increase your chances of choosing a profitable and sustainable product.

With thorough research and strategic decision-making, you can find a product that will not only attract customers but also bring in long-term profits.

			5 Proven Ways to Get More Amazon Product Reviews		
		Product reviews make or break products on Amazon. Just glance at a listing with 50+ ratings averaging 4.5 stars, and you’ll be hooked. A listing with zero reviews? Not so tempting. As an Amazon seller, getting reviews is crucial for driving conversions and establishing credibility. But where do you start when your product is still unknown?
In this podcast, Amazon expert Mary goes over some proven tactics for collecting more reviews in a compliant way. Use these strategies to give your product the social proof it needs to succeed on Amazon.
Key Takeaways: 



* 
Use Amazon Vine when launching new products. This program lets you enroll products to receive up to 30 free reviews from vetted Amazon reviewers. It costs $200 per parent SKU but can give you a major boost out the gate.







* 
After the Vine reviews come in, tap your friends and family network (in a careful way). Have them organically purchase and leave honest reviews. Space these out over time and avoid reviewers who share your IP address.







* 
Send review requests to customers. Amazon allows this directly from the orders page. Use browser extensions like Jungle Scout to streamline the process. Wait at least 2-3 weeks so customers have time to try the product.







* 
Check the review dashboard for any 1-3 star reviews and reach out to dissatisfied customers. Offer assistance or refunds, but never ask for reviews to be changed or deleted.







* 
Create a review funnel using marketing inserts. Drive traffic to a landing page that rewards customers and nudges them to leave Amazon reviews before redirecting to your product page. This builds your email list too.




Getting reviews requires patience and persistence, but it's essential for every Amazon seller early on. Use these proven strategies to kickstart your product’s credibility and social proof. Don’t take shortcuts that violate Amazon’s terms of service. Maintain a long-term, customer-focused mindset with reviews.
