Amazon is an avenue with millions of customers patronizing their products on a daily basis. Taking advantage of this platform can ensure the speedy spread of your products, and you dont need to bother generating traffic to your product. Everything you need to sell that nice product of yours has already been put in place for Amazon. All you have to do is to bring that product and sell it. So now that you want to sell on Amazon, but dont know where to start, dont feel sad or lost. Ive been there, and that is why I want to help you sell. In fact, I was just there a few months ago, so I know how it feels. I had a few old video games that I wanted to get rid of, and I thought Amazon was the perfect place to sell them and make so income. So I came to Amazon as a newbie and trust me, I felt exactly like you, but soon, it became a nice place to spend the great portion of my online time on. Making money through it has become the fun part of the experience thus far.

To help others who want to start selling on Amazon has been something I look forward to doing. You might ask why? It is because I recognized that the cyber market could accommodate us all and feed us all, so there is no need of hiding such knowledge that will put a smile on your face. I derive joy in seeing you smile; I get a greater joy in seeing your income grow online because I am a strong fan of the online legal business.

In sticking to my usual simplicity, Im calling this guide, How to Sell on Amazon for Beginners A Step-by-Step practical guide. While this guide is tailored to selling using FBA, notwithstanding its possible to sell on Amazon and ship the items yourself and make the whole money alone. I found FBA better to work with especially as a newbie. I have written on how to use FBA; you might love to look at it. This guide is mainly about how to sell on Amazon, through FBA.

I f youve ever bought an item off Amazon, Im sure you have, then youre probably familiar with their free two-day shipping through Amazon Prime every customer gets when he/she purchase from Amazon. Its one of the major reasons people shop on Amazon and will always patronize Amazon. And you I ask wouldnt it be great if you could offer free two-day shipping on the items you sell? The truth is that you can.

Thats the reason you should use Amazon FBA to sell your products. With Amazon FBA, all you need is to ship your items to an Amazon product warehouse, and they take care of the rest of the business deal for you. So when your product is in the warehouse, Amazon will pick, pack, and ship each of those items to your customers when they place an order for it. You just have to make the initial step, only one initial effort and after that, you can cruise to profits but remember to thank me later.

S tep 1: You have to create an Amazon Seller Account

To get started and become successful through the full registration process for an Amazon seller account, you will need a bunch of information readily available about you and your products. This information includes:

Business Information

No one wants to do business with a fake seller, hence the need you register your legal business name, address, and contact information and registration number

Email Address

To enable easy communication, an email address which can be used for this company account is required. This email account should be set up already, as you will start receiving important emails from Amazon almost immediately even for verification of your Amazon account.

C redit Card

The purpose is to make money with Amazon, hence an internationally-chargeable credit card with a valid billing address is required from you. And if the credit card number isnt valid, Amazon will cancel your registration immediately, and it could be seen as a form of fraud.

Phone Number

For quick verification process, a phone number where you can be reached during this registration process will be demanded from you. Also, have your phone close during registration as a verification code would be sent to you.

Tax ID

Amazon takes an interest in every detail. Hence, your tax identity information, including your Social Security number or your companys Federal Tax ID number would be keyed into the system during the registration process. To submit your tax identity information, the registration process will take a brief detour to a 1099-K Tax Document Interview there you would be asked to input the details.

State Tax ID

Always know that the State tax ID information for states in which you have tax nexus is a vital information Amazon asks during this stage of your FB Amazon. This physical presence is typically impacted by company offices, warehouses, and call centers as required. If you plan to use Amazons Fulfillment program, then you sure be aware that there may be further tax nexus implications. We always encourage people to talk with a tax attorney or tax accountant who specializes in online seller tax nexus issues (e.g., catchingclouds.net, peisnerjohnson.com). Or one of the tax remittance companies that can give you the most current Amazon tax nexus information to put you through with this to ensure a hitch-free registration (Example of trusted ones include taxjar.com, avalara.com, toxify.co, vertexsmb.com and other).

Step 2: List Your Items on Amazon

There are four different methods in which you can list your product on Amazon, But if you already have your account with Amazon, all you need to do is to list the items you want to sell and move to the next stage.

1. Listing from the Product Page

The easiest and fastest method for a beginner to list their first five or ten products is to simply find the matching product on the Amazon site and click on the Sell Yours button on the main page of the website. In other to search for the matching product, you can only use the Product Identification number, such as the UPC (Universal Product Code), ISBN (International Standard Book Number). EAN (European Article Number) of the various products or you can also search by title, just use a way that is clear and convenient to you. Always find the matching product and make sure they are the identical and genuine product before making your list available.
