Understanding Amazon Best Sellers Rank For Maximum Profits
UPDATED FOR 2020!
Amazon sales rank (also known as “best sellers rank”) is easily one of the most complicated and misunderstood aspects of selling online. Too many Amazon sellers assume if an item on Amazon has a certain “good” sales rank, it will automatically sell quickly. This assumption falls apart when the seller realizes most their inventory is not selling at all, and to make things worse the prices of their inventory items have tanked. If only there was a way to better understand Amazon sales rank in order to know what the number really means!
What You Get:
The Reseller’s Guide to Sales Rank is a combination ebook and video course that will walk you through how to best understand and interpret sales rank numbers on Amazon. Both the ebook and the video course contain the same content, so you can choose to consume the information by either reading or watching/listening, or you can do both. The book is over 30 pages filled with teachings and illustrations that will help you understand not only how sales rank works, but also how to best use sales rank info to dramatically improve your inventory sourcing buys. The video course contains 9 video modules (with almost 2 hours of content) where you can see every aspect of sales rank explained in detail. Not only do you get the ebook and video course, but you also get lifetime awesome amazing bonuses as well.
Bonus:
My Sales Rank Comfort Zones​​​​ – In the Sales Rank mini-course, I share with you all of my current sales rank comfort zones for every main Amazon sales rank category. When I source for inventory, I usually will not buy an item where the average sales rank is higher than my current comfort zone level. This printable document shares with you the sales rank zones where I am most comfortable when it comes to making the best sourcing decision on items I feel will sell quickly enough for me.
​Sales Rank Comfort Zone Worksheet – In the Sales Rank comfort zone bonus above, I share with you my current sales rank comfort zones for every main Amazon sales rank category. While my own comfort levels work best for me and my business model, it’s important that you learn to come up with your own sales rank comfort zones too. With this printable worksheet, I will give you the chance to figure out what YOUR sales rank comfort zones are for your own Amazon business.
Amazon Category Sales Rank Chart – Having access to the most current sales rank chart is vital for knowing which sales rank numbers are considered good or bad. Sales rank numbers are not all the same. A 500,000 sales rank in Books is pretty good, while a 500,000 sales rank in Toys is horrible. This chart breaks down each major Amazon product category and shows you not only how many items are currently in each category, but the breakdown of what numbers fall into the top 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, and 10%. This is a vital tool for making smart sourcing decisions.
