Serious Sellers Podcast: Learn How To Sell On Amazon

Every Amazon seller wants more reviews for their products, but many of the traditional “hacks” for early reviews at or before a product launch are now against Amazon’s Terms of Service. However, many sellers, like today’s guest, have found remarkable opportunities to drum up early demand for their products on channels outside of Amazon. Social media plays a big part in this process, but nothing gets customers on your side faster than actually talking with them through messages, open forums, and valuable content. Steven Black is an Amazon seller who has worked out a near perfect system for establishing his brand as a trusted authority in an appropriate niche on social channels and other selling platforms. In doing so, he is able to funnel his new “fans” to his Amazon listings for more sales and a higher likelihood for reviews.

Find out how meticulously studying competitor Amazon reviews, both good AND bad, can uncover significant customer insights that you can use to create a listing that engages potential buyers and develop a product that is better than your competition’s product! In the competitive Amazon landscape, sellers need every edge they can get to attract customers in their niche. Doing product research and keyword research can definitely get you going, but they do not always address another critical piece of the puzzle: how do customers interact with products, and what do they actually want from specific products? A FREE and underutilized resource for valuable competitor product information is the competitor Amazon reviews in a listing. Here, you find many eye-opening nuggets such as issues customers had with the product, features they liked, and the ways in which they used the product to great effect. Since studying customer reviews is a traditionally a very time-consuming task, not many sellers have used this technique. And honestly, who has the time (or patience) to go through a listing that has hundreds or even thousands of reviews? Fortunately, Helium 10 has created Review Downloader, a FREE tool in the Helium 10 Chrome Extension that allows you to download, parse, and quickly analyze customer feedback from competing ASINs. With this time-saving tool, you can learn from your competitor’s mistakes, proactively address customer dissatisfaction, and improve upon your own product.
