Selling on Amazon comes down to three things: picking the right product, writing a strong listing, and fulfilling orders smoothly. Most beginners fail at step one — product choice. Use data (SellerSprite) to pick, don't guess.
1. Open your Amazon Seller account
Choose Individual (no monthly fee, $0.99 per sale) to test, or Professional ($39.99/month) once you sell steadily. Have your ID/passport, a bank account that receives USD, and tax info ready.
2. Choose the right product
Look for high demand + low competition + a healthy margin after FBA fees. Use SellerSprite's Product Research to filter by demand, competition and estimated revenue instead of copying whatever's already hot.

3. Understand FBA vs FBM
FBA: Amazon stores, packs, ships and handles customer service for a fee — and you win the Buy Box + Prime easier. FBM: you do it all, full control, more effort. Beginners usually do better starting on FBA.
4. Build an optimized listing
A keyword-rich title, 5 benefit bullets, a detailed description and high-quality images. SellerSprite's AI Listing generates SEO-ready titles/bullets/descriptions in seconds from real keywords.
5. Price competitively + run PPC
Start slightly lower to collect reviews, then raise gradually. Run Sponsored Products for early traction; use reverse ASIN to find the keywords competitors convert on.
6. Manage inventory + avoid common mistakes
Watch stock closely — never run out (you lose ranking). Avoid: ignoring FBA fees, sloppy product research, ignoring bad reviews, blindly copying generic advice.
