Can you still make money on Amazon?  That's the question I asked Lesley Hensell, co-founder of Riverbend Consulting, Amazon, once characterized as the Wild West of online selling, has undergone significant evolution. Success on this platform now necessitates a more strategic and disciplined approach. However, with proper guidance, achieving success is possible. So, you have a product ready to debut on Amazon. An organized is approach is required. Gone are the days of haphazardly listing products; today, approaching Amazon as a bona fide business entity with comprehensive records, invoices, and refined marketing strategies is mandatory.  Lesley had some great tips for marketing your products.  Start with a comprehensive product detail page which  serves as your digital shopfront on Amazon. Craft compelling copy and captivating visuals to attract the shopper. Lifestyle imagery featuring infants, pets, and even models can significantly enhance your product's appeal. But the journey doesn't conclude there! Video content holds immense sway on Amazon. Even with modest resources, you can produce engaging videos showcasing your product's features and benefits, effectively capturing potential buyers' attention. Now, onto a critical yet often overlooked facet—advertising. While advertising on Amazon can yield substantial returns, it necessitates meticulous planning and continual monitoring. Leverage tools such as Jungle Scout or Helium 10 to conduct keyword research and optimize your ad campaigns for optimal visibility. Here's a noteworthy tip: prioritize long-tail keywords to establish a unique niche for your product and avoid direct competition with industry behemoths. One common mistake Leslie frequently encounters? The fallacy of the "set it and forget it" mindset. Achieving success on Amazon requires monitoring adjustments.

Leslie is the co-founder and co-owner of Riverbend Consulting.

Leslie leverages two decades as a small business consultant advising clients on profitability and operational performance. She's aimed at improving both with practical and real-world solutions. She has been on Amazon for more than a decade and has seen a lot of trends on the platform.

Specialty products are the bomb on Amazon, and people that are successful have solved problems in their own lives. Lesley suggests looking for a business park with manufacturers in a town or city nearby. Many of them only sell to wholesalers or large retailers but they might not be online because they've never thought about it. Finding just a few of those small businesses in your area will give you unique products to sell online.

For people who own a Shopify store, there's a new option where Amazon will fulfill the orders for your Shopify store. You ship all of the inventory to an Amazon fulfillment center with a checkout option that is for Prime on the Shopify store, called Buy With Prime, and in that case, you own the customer list and get the benefit of all the fulfillment and customer service being done by Amazon for you. For a new product launch on Amazon, you have the option of doing paid ads and pay-per-click advertising. Ad campaigns on Amazon are their own animal and can be challenging. For organic listings, you can optimize your listing with great SEO as well as copywriting, headline writing for item descriptions, and great images.
