FBA (FULFILLED BY AMAZON) OR FBM (FULFILLED BY MERCHANT)?
Are you planning to ship your products yourself or have Amazon handle it for you?
FBA comes with additional storage fees but you’ll be completely hands-free on the shipping process.
FBM is a viable option if you have storage space for your stock and a reliable fulfillment method. You can have this option if you’re into paying extra fees unless you have a professional operation ready in place because doing your own fulfillment can be costly.

PRODUCTS THAT REQUIRE A CERTIFICATION
When you’re looking for a product, always think of the category each product falls under on Amazon. There are a number of product categories that require extra certifications and approvals. There will be restrictions to surpass in Amazon, but some products may simply require specific labels and packaging to comply with particular requirements.
Amazon will tell you what they need, so make sure you stay on top of any requests.
BRAND REGISTRY
Every seller has an opportunity to apply for the Amazon Brand Registry. This will protect your brand and trademarks. It is your best defense against hijackers. Just consider the following to protect and secure your brand.
- Registered Trademark. This can take a minimum of six months to process and requires additional costs.
- Official Website. No need to be fancy, just keep it simple and detailed.
- It needs to be present on all products and packaging.

CREATE THE ULTIMATE PRODUCT LISTING
The details in your product listing are what will set you apart from the competition.
Create a Product Title, Product Image, Copyright and with the lowest price since you are just starting the business.
In your Product Title, you need to create a title that includes multiple keywords that relate to your product and include the product features and benefits.
In your Product Image, have a clear capture of your product. Your item should be front and center and in focus, with different angles. Have a professional photo, so that customers would also think that the seller is more professional enough with the product.
