HOW TO SELL ON AMAZON SUCCESSFULLY 1

1 |UNDERSTAND AMAZON’S SEARCH ALGORITHM 2

AMAZON’S BEST SELLER RANK v Every product page on Amazon displays its Best Seller Rank or ‘BSR’ BSR indicates how well an item is selling within its product category. Example: this product is the 1,047th best selling product in the Grocery category The lower the BSR, the more units are selling for that product. 3

PRODUCTS WITH A LOW BSR SHOW HIGHER IN THE SEARCH RESULTS BSR of 1,047 Product 2: BSR of 7,862 Search term: xylitol sweetener Result: Product 1 shows up first Your goal: ensure your product has a LOW BSR 4

WHAT DRIVES BSR? 5 Amazon’s ranking algorithm prioritizes 3 factors: 1. 2. 3. Volume of Sales over time or ‘sales velocity’ Conversion Rate. Amazon asks, “What product is the searcher most likely to buy?” Product Reviews by customers. Reviews indirectly affect BSR by increasing trust (and conversions) 5

2 |SELL A POPULAR PRODUCT 6

IS THERE ENOUGH DEMAND FOR YOUR PRODUCT? If you’re investing time, money and effort in launching products on Amazon, you’ll want to ensure there is existing demand first. GET A QUICK & DIRTY SALES ESTIMATE One way to gauge the demand for a product: look at the number of recent product reviews. We know that less than 10% of Amazon customers actually leave product reviews, so you can get a rough estimate of the monthly sales by multiplying the number of product reviews left in the last 30 days by 10. This product had 11 reviews left in the past 30 days, so is potentially selling around 110 units per month. 7
