Hey guys and gals,
Just recently I came back from an Asia trip feeling refreshed and ready to buckle down.
Heres the rub: Being an all-over-the-place kind of person I decided to dive into Amazon FBA. Too many people are making steady profits after just a few months starting. I got 5 months to set it all up before I'm back in Europe/Asia for a complete Expat experience. That's the deadline.
This is a two fold question:
PRIMARY: What do you look for when qualifying a product or a niche? Is there a method of research you follow?
What I have so far:
- First product less than 500 Bestseller Rank, 2nd & 3rd less than 1500, 4th - 6th less than 5000
- Reviews on the top 6 are less than 500
- $15-$60 range
- No more than 5 lbs. Ideally less than 2 lbs
SECONDARY: Any good resources/threads that I have not found that you can point me to on the similar topic. I have already checked out "Ask me anything about e-commerce 2015" and "Sharing my lifetime experience in import/export". Both were invaluable and had amazing knowledge.
Looking forward to hearing back from everyone and thank you for any feedback/advice. Will report how it all goes after I validate and start selling.
