How to List Your Products on Amazon

Amazon is one of the largest online marketplaces, and selling on Amazon will help you get many customers. If you have products to sell, say clothes, food, gadgets, etc., you can put them on Amazon India. Don’t be overwhelmed with the complications. This guide uses simple words to explain the steps in listing your products.

Step 1: Open an Amazon Seller Account

First, you will need an Amazon Seller Account. Here’s how you will set it up:

• • Go to Amazon Seller Website:
    Visit Amazon Seller Central, India.

• • Sign Up:
    Click “Start Selling” and enter your email/phone number to create an account.

• • Provide Your Details:
    • • Fill in your business name, or your name if you don’t have a business.
    • • Enter your address and phone number.

• • Bank Account Information:
    Add your bank information so that, when the product sells, Amazon is able to move the money.

• • Verification:
    You will have to give some documents, like your PAN card or GST number, which Amazon may ask for verification.

Step 2: Study the Rules to Sell on Amazon

Amazon has rules to ensure a good shopping experience for everyone. Some things to consider include:

• • Check Your Product Category:
    Amazon allows the sale of everything from books to clothes to even food; some categories involve special approval, like groceries.

• • Avoid Selling Restricted Items:
    You are not allowed to sell fake products, hazardous items, or any unlawful products.

Step 3: Prepare Your Product Details

Before listing your product, you need to gather some key details about it:

• • Product Title:
    Write a name describing your product clearly. Example:
    “Natural Almonds 500g Pack – Fresh and Healthy.”

• • Product Pictures:
    • • Take clear photos of your product.
    • • Use a plain white background for the main image.
    • • Show off your product from every possible angle.

• • Product Description:
    Describe your product and its features, and why people should buy it.
    Use simple bullet points as below:
    • • Fresh, crunchy almonds.
    • • No added chemicals or preservatives.
    • • Packed in airtight bags to retain the freshness.

• • Set the Price:
    Check similar products on Amazon and set an appropriate price.

    Think of words people might type when searching for your product. Example for almonds: “healthy snacks,” “dry fruits,” or “natural almonds.”

Step 4: Log in to your Seller Central

Log in to Amazon Seller Central once you have set up your account.

Step 5: Add Your Product

Now, it is time to list your product.

• • Go to Inventory Section:
    Click on “Add a Product” under the Inventory tab.

• • Choose how you would like to list your product:
    • • Create a New Product: If your product isn’t on Amazon already.
    • • Match an Existing Product: If the product is already listed by another seller, you can match your details to theirs.

Step 6: Choose a Delivery Method

When anyone purchases your product, you have to deliver it. Amazon gives you two options:

• • Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA):
    • • You send your products to Amazon’s warehouse.
    • • Amazon takes care of packing, shipping, and customer service.
    • • That’s a good option if you want to save your time.

    • • You store, pack, and ship the products yourself.
    • • You are also responsible for handling customer service.

Actually, an attractive product listing attracts more buyers. Here are some tips that will make your listing stand out:

• • Use Keywords:
    Add vital keywords to the product title and description.

    Good pictures help your customers to create trust in the product.

• • Add a good description:
    Explain to customers why your product is the best choice for them.

Step 8: Product Promotion

Once your product is listed, you need to make sure it gets noticed by customers.

• • Run Ads:
    Among others, Amazon has Sponsored Products, which are the advertisements for which you pay to show your product at the top of the search results.

• • Offer Discounts:
    Lure customers with discounts or special deals.

• • Use Coupons:
    Add coupons to your product for increased sales.

Step 9: Check and Improve Your Listing

After listing your product, keep an eye on how it’s doing.

• • Check Sales Reports:
    Amazon Seller Central shows how many people are buying your product.

• • Read Customer Reviews:
    Positive reviews will help you sell more, so ask customers for reviews.
    If you get a negative review, reply politely and try to fix the issue.

    Add new keywords or refine your description to improve sales.
