If the product is already available on Amazon, Listing it is a simple matter of adding your products to the existing Catalog listing.<\/p>\n
For example, I am at a local home improvement store, and I find something on sale. I scan it, and find it qualifies for my parameters. I decide to buy a dozen of them (2 for me) and right there on the app is a “Sell Yours” button.<\/p>\n
I do it. Now, just gather my dozen and checkout at the cash register. (I’m a Vietnam Vet, so I get an additional 10% discount. WooHoo!)<\/p>\n
If you don’t have a Professional Selling Account, you can’t create a listing, regardless of how wonderful it is.<\/p>\n
With a Professional Selling Plan, you can create listings for single items, bundles, or multi-packs.<\/p>\n
\n- Create a Compelling Title. Most Buyers search for what they want. This is the most valuable “real estate” on the Amazon page. I’ve seen awful titles. Don’t make yours one of them.<\/li>\n
- Take Outstanding Photos. You have 9 slots available for photos. Use as many as you can. Show it in use. Shown it front, back, assembled, and all the parts.<\/li>\n
- Make “meaningful” bullet points. You get 5 of them. Use them all. Tell how it gets used. Describe all the details of the product. Ask for the sale. (I use “Click the [Add to Cart] Button to Get Yours!” as my last bullet.<\/li>\n
- Enter accurate and “longtail” Keywords. Longtail is all the words someone might use to find this product.<\/li>\n
- Make your main Description in the form of a story. Tell how it gets used. Use some basic HTML tags. <p> starts a new paragraph. <b> and <\/b> starts and ends some Bold text.<\/li>\n
- If there is no UPC code, use one you can buy on eBay.<\/li>\n
- Fill in as many of the blanks on the Amazon pages as apply.<\/li>\n
- Assign a meaningful SKU. If you don’t, Amazon assigns some random one that means nothing to you. I use: Vendor-Order#-Description. Don’t put spaces in this SKU.<\/li>\n
- Price it right.<\/li>\n
- Click the button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Once in hand, it won’t sell unless it’s “on the shelf”, listed under your User ID.<\/p>\n
You can’t Ship It until it is listed.<\/p>\n
Inventory isn’t profit, nor is it cash.<\/p>\n
Get it “On the Shelf” by listing it.<\/p>\n
