Selling on the largest online market can be pretty competitive, but the huge amount of customers can make up for it If you know how to get their attention. As a seller, you need to look for ways to offer something other sellers can't offer, so take note and pay attention:
Know the demand and supply.
I don't mean learn about demand and supply, here I mean that you should know what the customers are looking for and if those products are available, if they are buy them and sell them at a higher price, if they aren't, consider producing them yourself, who knows, you might even and up having your own well known brand. It's not hard to find out What the customers are looking for these days, it's as simple as using a search engine and searching "Trending/popular Amazon products" or "Trending products", it's good to sell what customers are looking for, but also try to find out products that are needed but dont have much competition.
Search for information.
Even if you have been in the online business for a very long time, there are many things you do not know because things are changing and customer needs are changing, you can learn more about how to improve your sales through education, it is also best to talk to other Amazon sellers so that you can learn new strategies. So much information out there, there are paid services available for you to know more, free Ebooks that can help you and many posts on websites giving you free tips.
Know what is motivating you.
If your only motivator is money, then it will be easier for you to quit when you get disapointed, so try to get motivated by something better such as other reasons you could be selling online. This is important for you because it changed your whole perspective.
Don't do anything illegal.
Remember, you are selling on a platform, which means you need to follow some rules and pay some fees, and if you don't, they can ban you at any time, so do clean business so that you don't encounter problems in the long run. Doing good business is also good for your client base, because if they liked the way you treated them, then they might come back for more. If you follow the rules, you will not have any problems whatsoever, even with your customers.
Communicate with and respond to customers.
Interacting with your customers is the best way to increase your sales, you need to ask them for feedback which would help improve the quality of your services and products. Responding to customers is a great way of showing them that you want to have a good relationship with them. The whole reason you are selling products is because customers are buying from you, so give them good reasons to buy from you and trust you.
Do things on time.
As a seller, you know that time is money, the more sales you make the more money you make, but you also need to keep track of your time and not be late, your delivery should be on time to avoid problems with Amazon or customers. Always try to be able earlier for the things you do, this will not only positively impact the people around you, but it will also have a good impact on you aswel.
Decrease your costs thereby increasing your profit.
For you to produce or get a product you can sell to customers, you need to spend some money first, so look for ways to decrease your costs because it will help you keep up with the fees in Amazon and your income will increase. If you are producing the products yourself, find cheaper raw materials and if you are buying the products, you should try to negotiate with your suppliers or look for more suppliers.
Do some advertising.
This is a great option for sellers, you can either advertise on places like AdSense or Facebook for a certain price or you could advertise your products for free, both methods have proven good results, but it depends on how you promote your products and if you actually sell them.
