3. Click “Search” to view the results on Amazon.

4. Find niches that may potentially interest you. You can also browse the various categories on Amazon.

What is the best way to come up with a niche? If you’re really stuck for ideas, visit stores or eCommerce sites and just start writing down all the items you see that interest you. Then, start entering those terms into Amazon’s search bar.

For a quicker method of product research, consider the AMZScout Product Database. Check out our guide below to see how to find a niche product using this tool.

Step 3: Open AMZScout PRO AI 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 AI 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. Check the Niche Score by clicking the indicator in the upper-right section of the PRO AI Extension interface. A score of 7 or higher means the niche is likely to be a solid option from which to start selling. This data will highlight all of the reasons why a particular Amazon niche is a profitable one to enter, as well as any negative reasons that might prevent it from being the right choice.

2. Determine the level of competition among sellers in the niche. Click the Visibility Score to see if the niche is saturated. A score of 3 or lower means that not many sellers have noticed this niche during the research process.

Step 5: Check Niche History

1. Click “Niche History” on the PRO AI 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 AI Extension can help you find the best products within a niche.

1. Review the list of items in the PRO AI Extension.

2. Check the Product Score. A good number for this metric on Amazon appears to be 7 or higher, as these products will be the best options 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.
