  1. Category Selection — Target categories where you have some knowledge or interest. Best categories: Home & Kitchen, Health & Personal Care, Pet Supplies, Office Products.
  2. Competition Analysis — Avoid categories dominated by Amazon Basics or brands with 1,000+ reviews. Look for categories where top sellers have 200-500 reviews.
  3. Cost Estimation — Calculate total cost: manufacturing + shipping + Amazon fees + PPC (15-30%) + returns (2-5%) + misc (10% buffer).
  4. ROI Validation — Enter ALL costs into the ROI Calculator. Target minimum 30% ROI after all fees. Best opportunities: 50%+.
  5. Seasonality Check — Use Google Trends to check if demand is consistent year-round or seasonal. Avoid single-season products for your first product.
Golden Rule: If the ROI calculation shows less than 20% net margin after ALL costs including PPC, walk away. There are always better products.
