Step 3: Open AMZScout PRO Extension
Once you have a set of search results open, click on the AMZScout icon in the top right corner of your browser.
The PRO Extension will open and reveal a wealth of data on all the items you’re currently looking at, including sales, price, reviews, trending products, and more, meaning you have all the data you need to choose the right niche and products.
Using these insights is the best way to stay ahead of your competitors.
Step 4: Analyze the Niche
1. Click “Niche Score”. The PRO Extension will list all of the reasons why that Amazon niche is a profitable one to enter, as well as any negative reasons that might prevent it from being the right choice. A score of 7 or higher means the niche is likely a solid option to start selling in.
2. Check the Visibility Score, which is displayed right next to the Niche Score. This number indicates the level of competition among sellers is in the niche. A score of 3 or lower means that not many sellers have noticed this niche during the research process.
AMZScout’s innovative niche score is the easiest way to analyze a niche. The PRO Extension does all the work for you so you can quickly find popular items and the hottest niches that will help you grow a successful business.
Step 5: Check Niche History
1. Click “Niche History” on the PRO Extension’s main screen, where you can see sales data from the niche over the last two years.
2. Look for niches that sell consistently all year long, rather than those that see highs during some months of the year and lows during others.
If you can find a niche that has a high niche score and consistent historical sales there’s a very good chance the niche will be profitable.
Step 6: Identify Suitable Products to Sell
Just because a niche is strong doesn’t mean all the items within it are good choices to sell. Luckily, the PRO Extension can help you find the best products within a niche.
1. Review the list of items in the PRO Extension.
2. Identify any products with a Product Score of 7 or higher, as these will be the best ones for private label or reselling.
Using the product score feature is the quickest way to identify top products to sell. Make a list of all the products with potential and pick the ones you’re most interested in selling.
Step 7: Evaluate How Profitable a Product Is
1. Hover over each product you identified in step 6.
2. Click on “Profit Calculator”.
3. Look at the Net Margin and Monthly Profit for each item.
Remember, it’s not enough for an item to have high demand and low competition, it also needs to be able to make money.
The profit calculator will estimate what your margins will be so you can decide whether or not a product is worth selling.
Step 8: Try Different Searches and Keywords
If the first niche or keyword you try doesn’t seem very promising try other searches.
Here are a couple of suggestions that can help:
1. Click “Get Keywords”. To see new product keywords, click the arrow to the left of a product.
2. Click “Niche Keywords” at the bottom of the screen to get new Amazon niche keywords.
Be patient and keep trying different keywords. The PRO Extension will give you endless lists of suggested niches. Eventually, you’ll find one that’s a winner.
