What are the best-selling products on Amazon?
To find out which products are best-selling on Amazon, you can use the tool Helium 10. It's a website that also offers a Google Chrome extension, allowing you to access all sales data of products on Amazon.
The steps to use Helium 10 are very simple:
- Open the Helium 10 website.
- Create an account with your personal details.
- Log in and choose one of the payment plans.
- Open Google Chrome and explore extensions to find Helium 10.
- Install the extension with just two clicks.
Once you have Helium 10 tool properly installed, you can open your Amazon profile. From this point, you can use the Helium 10 sales analysis tool.
In the usage menu, you can choose the Helium 10 Cerebro function. With this tool, you can enter Amazon product ASINs to access their sales data, similar products, sales comparisons, search trends, and purchase volumes of new products on Amazon.
Once you identify the best-selling products on Amazon, you can access their reviews and product ratings directly on the Marketplace. It's important not to rely solely on isolated comments, as competitors sometimes leave negative reviews as a common practice.
When a product on Amazon has a clear deficiency or improvement opportunity, you'll notice a clear and repetitive pattern in user reviews. This analysis will help you define innovation strategies that could improve existing products which, despite their flaws, maintain high sales volumes, presenting significant business potential for inventors if such improvements are implemented.
An example of an invention that can be clearly improved is the magnetic window cleaner.
For example, by searching on Amazon for useful terms to identify tools or inventions for cleaning exterior windows, especially in tall buildings, you’ll find many results with high search volumes and sales.
Undoubtedly, we are facing an opportunity to improve an existing product that, with technical research and manufacturing of functional prototypes, could be substantially enhanced.
Innovating by improving existing products allows us to manage the risk of market acceptance for new inventions. The figures we can see on Helium 10 are truly encouraging.
