The best way to sell through amazon is by using their Fulfilled by Amazon program (FBA). This way, you send all your products to amazon and they sit in their warehouse and whenever one is sold they will package and ship it to the customer. In addition, they will deal with the customer service and any returns or exchanges. 

From your end, you have to identify the right products, do your market research and see if there is competition, decide on a price. Then you would need to attain this product and take professional pictures. Lastly, you need to ensure you market your product using web tools such as search engine optimization, social media sites such as facebook and twitter.

  1. As an individual seller Amazon charges you 15% Selling commission plus 99¢ per sale. The fee to become a professional seller is $39.95 per month, but as a pro seller you are only charged 15% --and not the extra 99¢. So if you sell 40 items per month or more, you will actually save money on fees. 
  2. As a professional seller you are allowed to create listings for products that are not currently being sold on Amazon. You can also create product bundles which we will show you how to do later as they are a great way to increase your profits. 
  3. Amazon has several categories that are restricted and you must apply to sell in these (Clothing, shoes, jewelry and Auto Accessories are just a few). You must be a pro seller to apply to sell in these categories. 
  4. If you want to private label you will want to register your brand with Amazon to protect it. You must be a professional seller to register a brand.

Hi,

As Amazon has a huge traffic as compared to some other E commerce sites, so it is essential to list the products on the amazon site for sell on priority basis in comparison to other sites. 

1. One has to make list of all products along with its MRP, selling price ( discounted rate) with their high resolution pictures or 3D/ mockup can also be used.

2. For better selling, you can promote your products on the amazon by getting it sponsored on amazon through its campaigning or the lightning deal. Products should be promoted on other platforms such as social sites like facebook and twitter through campaigns and advertising it through other sites who have a good presence or linked up with google. It will help in increasing the viewership of company and its products.

3. You can get registered for Amazon FBA, so that all you have to do is send the consignment to Amazon's warehouse and they will dispatch on your behalf. It has the benefit as the products will be now tagged as 'Fulfilled by Amazon' and prime customers of amazon will also able to buy the products, thus addition of more customers.

4. Product quality should be good and somewhat effective, so that people can give some good ratings and reviews. Of Course, it will naturally increase the sale as many buyers prefer to go for buy on the basis of ratings. 

5. Price is also an important factor in  getting some good sale. For new products, price should be competitive along with good promotion, so that more customers can come on your page and dont go bare handed. 

Thanks.
