You can get your questions answered by Scott - maybe they're answered in this episode!

Another powerful Q & A session is coming your way on this episode of the Amazing Seller, with Scott Voelker. Scott’s got 5 great questions today, ranging from an inquiry about optimizing sponsored ads for a product, all the way to avoid losing the seller box for a trademarked listing. It’s all over the board today, but well worth your time. You might even get the exact answer to a question that’s been rattling around in your head for some time!

How can I get my sponsored ads onto page #1?

That’s the great question Leo asked this week and Scott’s response goes into a lot of detail about keyword research, the difference between long-tail and short-tail keywords, and how you can use the interface to position your ads in a way that they have a greater likelihood of landing on page 1.

Running out of inventory? How do you regain your position?

Jordan has hit a few situations where he’s run out of inventory and by the time he’s replenished his product supply his seller ranking and position has plummeted. What do you do then? Scott’s got some great advice for him on this episode that has to do with how to keep your inventory from running out, as well as what you can do to regain your momentum if you do happen to run out of inventory.

Naming private-label products: Is there a good system to optimize the name?

Julie’s creating her own private label products and wants to maximize the name she chooses to take advantage of keywords, search algorithms, and stuff like that. Is there a formula or system Scott uses to make sure he’s choosing the best name for his products? His answer might surprise you, so be sure you listen to this helpful section of the show.

Can you use HTML in product descriptions? If so, how much impact does it have on the listing?

Paul wants to know if Amazon allows html coding in product descriptions - you know, stuff like bold, italics, headings, and other things to make the text and descriptions “pop” for the reader. Scott’s answer outlines the basic html he uses in his product descriptions and why he only uses a few minor things. You’ll learn a lot from his answer.

My trademarked product listing is being outranked by other sellers!

Tommy’s got a question about a product listing he created that’s got Scott a bit stumped! Tommy branded his own product, listed it on Amazon as a trademarked product, yet he keeps getting bumped from the buy box by other sellers of the same product! Scott answers his question with a lot of questions of his own. You won’t want to miss this one!

You’ll learn all of that and much more on this episode of The Amazing Seller with Scott Voelker. Be sure to check out the outline and links mentioned in this episode below!
