I am a new seller and I have brought about 1000 products for 4 asins to Amazon warehouse. In the past month, I have only sold 10 products, including 8 Vine Free products for users, the remaining 2 products with revenue of $ 17.98 and spent $ 65 on PPC advertising.
Of course, with the above revenue and advertising costs, it is very small compared to the long-time sellers with millions of dollars in revenue here.
I noticed that my product was not indexed for any keywords other than its asin. I copied the entire title and searched on Amazon but my product still did not appear, while many Top products always appeared regardless of the keywords and had nothing to do with that product.
I have done A+ content, added product videos, added reviews for the product but the traffic has almost not improved.
It seems like Amazon just wants new sellers to spend more money on advertising to get traffic from them and there is no other way to do it organically.
Anyone have any suggestions to help me get my new products indexed for keywords? I would appreciate the help.
And now I want to reduce my inventory or liquidate it, do you know of any solutions? I am just hoping to recoup about 50% of my costs.
Amazon FBA costs are so expensive and selling a product with no orders for a month would be horrible. My products are under $20 and if you add all the costs up Amazon charges around 60-70% of revenue/order, including PPC costs and storage costs for unsold products. And the longer the inventory is in stock, the more it costs. Almost zero profit.
You put a bag of money in and hope to get more profit from it but have to struggle to try to get back every penny you put in.
I think after this time I will only sell FBM and never go back to FBA again.
