Rebuilding - how to build up Amazon listings faster?

boysangur · #1 11-09-2015

Using the guide, I got back to Amazon but of course, I'm getting no sales yet, even on items that were successful before the ban.

It took me over a year to get to where I was but now of course I have to move faster, to at least qualify for the buybox again and get something half-decent going.

So... does anyone mind sharing some tips on how to build new listings up faster? I've been told that it's all about reviews. Are there ways of getting those that I don' know about?

I was trying to locate this site with so called 'tips' and it recommended emailing reviewers for similar items on Amazon and offering them free products for their reviews. It sounds to me like a fantastic way to get banned. I don't think Amazon likes you emailing customers unless they email you first or are already your buyer. Any thoughts?

Quickest way is to send some items to FBA.
As far as reviews, AZ is now suspending people for using review writing sites and would probably do the same if you bribed people for reviews.

It is no longer the "good old days".

Hmm, FBA has slipped my mind somehow. I'll give that a shot.

Keep your inventory low to start. Maybe a weeks worth in the beginning. Don't want to send a lot of items into FBA and have them sit.

Indeed. That's one of the worries. Thanks for the tips.
