How to Sell on Amazon FBA For Beginners [2023 FULL Tutorial]
Amazon has become a giant in the e-commerce industry, and selling on its platform can be a lucrative venture. Particularly, the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program has gained popularity among sellers, allowing them to store their products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers and have them shipped directly to customers. If you are a beginner looking to start selling on Amazon FBA in 2023, this tutorial will guide you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Set Up Your Amazon Seller Account
The first step is to create a seller account on Amazon. Go to sellercentral.amazon.com and click on the “Sign Up” button. Choose between an individual or professional selling plan. If you are just starting out, the individual plan is a better choice as it has lower fees. Fill in the necessary information, including your business details and payment information.
Step 2: Research Products
Before diving into selling, it’s crucial to research the market and find the right products to sell. You can use Amazon’s own tools like Jungle Scout or Helium 10 to analyze demand, competition, and profitability of different products. Aim for products with good demand, manageable competition, and healthy profit margins.
Step 3: Source Products
After identifying your product(s), you need to find suppliers. You can choose to source products locally, through online platforms like Alibaba, or use dropshipping methods. Ensure that you select reliable suppliers with quality products. Ordering samples is recommended to assess their quality firsthand.
Step 4: Create a Product Listing
Once you have your products ready, it’s time to create product listings on Amazon. Take high-quality product photos, write clear and compelling product descriptions, and select relevant keywords for search optimization. Pay attention to pricing and offer competitive pricing to attract customers.
Step 5: Prepare for Shipment
To use the FBA program, you will need to prepare your products for shipping to Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Ensure that your products are properly packaged, labeled, and comply with Amazon’s packaging guidelines. Generate labels and shipment plans through your seller account.
Step 6: Ship Products to Amazon
Arrange for shipment to Amazon’s fulfillment centers using the carrier of your choice. Follow Amazon’s guidelines regarding shipping and labeling requirements to avoid any issues. After the shipment is delivered, you can track its progress through your seller account.
Step 7: Optimize Your Listings
After your products are stocked in Amazon’s fulfillment centers, it’s time to optimize your listings. Monitor customer feedback, ratings, and reviews. Regularly update your product information, revise pricing strategies, and improve your images and product descriptions to maximize sales.
Step 8: Manage Inventory and Shipping
Amazon FBA takes care of inventory management and shipping for your products. However, it is essential to monitor your inventory levels, sales velocity, and any potential stockouts. Replenish inventory in a timely manner to ensure a consistent supply of products to customers.
Step 9: Promote Your Products
To increase visibility and boost sales, consider employing promotional strategies. Amazon offers various advertising options such as sponsored product ads, headline search ads, or product display ads. Additionally, utilize social media platforms and other marketing channels to drive traffic to your product listings.
Step 10: Monitor Performance and Adapt
Regularly track your sales, profits, and overall performance within your seller account. Analyze the data and make necessary adjustments to pricing, product selection, or marketing strategies. Stay informed about Amazon’s policies and guidelines to avoid any violations that may impact your seller account.
Selling on Amazon FBA can be a rewarding business venture, but it requires dedication, continuous learning, and adaptation. With this beginner’s tutorial, you now have a solid foundation to start your journey. Remember, success comes with persistence, innovation, and providing excellent customer service. Good luck!

how will i know the weight and dimension when i dont live in USA or china??
How do I create the selling account
Great tutorial. As far as retail arbitrage/ Wholesale is concerned, It is no more worth it, because Amazon does not allow most of the branded products without approval from brand owner. So my advice for new seller is to make sure that you are allowed to sell a product before you buy it.
Hello, I have my own product that I designed, and the cost is more than $85 I not sure if I should sell on Amazon. I'm a new business owner. Do you have any advice?
I personally think there is more to gain by NOT using Alibaba and fulfilling on your own. This strategy is sooo saturated. If I remember right, you made MOST of your income by creating your PNB product and using Amazon to fulfill your shipping/ordering. And based on that success, you now make money training people on how to use basic Amazon selling strategies. I'm interested in some more unique selling strategies as I think most of the audience is also. We've all seen this same guide on hundreds of videos…
WONDERFULL TUTORIAL!
