Hi gang,

Newbie here with some questions on selecting the right product. I am having a tough time selecting a product to sell on an Ecommerce platform like Amazon. Ive narrowed it down to a few selections but I am still unsure. Is there a way of finding out more specific data on products? Like how many are sold on amazon vs listed, or something? Id like to be able to pull some stats on the products I have in mind before purchasing.

Additional information would be much appreciated.


Thanks

      However you can get a 'proxy' of its selling power relative to competitor products by noting the BSR (best selling ranking).

      Good luck with your venture.

      Thank you, this is the method Ive used to select my niche and product. Obv as a first time player in this game im just having a hard time with knowing if it'll be profitable or how to gather additional info.

    I would suggest you to find any report about consumer spendings. It will give you information about what do people buy and what's trending. You;d also start selling any product or service you like and you know. This will help you a lot to grow your business.
