HOW TO SELL ON
AMAZON
SUCCESSFULLY

2. 2
1 |UNDERSTAND AMAZON’S
SEARCH ALGORITHM

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

4. PRODUCTS WITH A LOW BSR SHOW
HIGHER IN THE SEARCH RESULTS
4
Product 1:
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

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

POPULAR PRODUCT

7. 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.
7
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.

PRODUCT LISTING

9. TWO FACTORS IN OPTIMIZING
YOUR LISTING
1 | GETTING FOUND

2 | GETTING THE SALE
● Use strategic keywords in your
product name, description, and
back-end
● Boost your BSR by increasing the
‘velocity’ of sales in a short period
● Running Amazon Product Listing
Ads
● The better your product listing
converts browsers into buyers,
the higher they will rank you in
search results
● Having lots of genuine product
reviews to build trust
● Compelling, benefits-focused
descriptions, bullet points, and
product title
● Product photos and images
that tell your product’s story

10. A COMPELLING PRODUCT LISTING
10
Turn browsers into buyers: tell the story of how your
product solves the customer’s problem
The right mix:
features tell,
benefits sell
Attractive product
images, and
lifestyle photos
that tell a story
Copywriting: headlines,
bullet points and product
descriptions
Trustworthiness and
social proof from
genuine reviews

11. THE SALES/REVIEWS PARADOX

reviews
To get reviews, you

4 |PRIORITIZE
& COMMIT

13. AMAZON IS NOT A ‘SET AND
FORGET’ PLATFORM
CONDUCT A DAILY ACCOUNT REVIEW
Your Seller Rating is impacted by your responsiveness to buyer questions,
returns, shipping delays, and other metrics. Don’t wait more than 24 hours
between checking your key account metrics
BE AWARE OF POLICY VIOLATIONS
Amazon is known for a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach with
policy violations. Policies change over time, so follow updates and
announcements to avoid potential restrictions and suspensions
CHECK COMPETITOR ACTIVITY
Unauthorized resellers may ‘squat’ on your product listing and erode your
good reputation; new competition may appear and bring new challenges
RESPOND TO REVIEWS & FEEDBACK
Especially in the case of negative feedback and reviews, its imperative to
respond quickly and do damage control. Other potential customers will
judge your company & product based on the speed and thoughtfulness of
your response
