| How to create amazon seller account |
If you’re buying something and it’s just too much pain to do the work yourself, now might be a good time to take over someone else’s store or buy an off-the-shelf platform like Bluehost, I recommend using them if possible. As Amazon is very easy to get started with and there are quite a few people who have already established a successful business on Amazon, even though it can seem overwhelming at first. There are however other options such as Shopify, Weebly, Square, etc., which offer more functionality. So before you sign up for anything, check out this post for step-by-step instructions on how to create your own Amazon seller account.
1. Sign Up For An Email
When the process of creating your Amazon seller account starts, it should be quick and seamless. You can either use an email, but they are not free. It costs $5 a month (free for new accounts) or it costs $12 a year. When signing up for an email address from Amazon that will also allow you to make direct sales through Amazon’s in-house sellers account system, you need to input your name and zip code. After that, you can choose between two categories – Buy and Sell. If you choose to sell on Amazon, you’ll want to make sure you have the “sell to the seller” option. Finally, select your country and Amazon Web Services.
After being signed into both accounts, you’ll receive an email with details on what happened in case something went wrong. In general, once you create your merchant account and start selling, everything will work smoothly. The following instructions from my experience with the Amazon seller app show you how to get going and create products quickly.
2. Set Your Product Categories
When you create your Amazon seller account, you’ll see three different categories (Buy, Sell, Promote) listed for each product. These are all great ways to grow your inventory and discover new products to promote. Here’s how you set up your categories. As most of your users are using the same categories, create one, then go to https://www.amazon.com/products. On this page, select the category that you want to set for your product. From here, you’ll enter the SKU of the item and your preferred price. Then pick a size for your product. Once you have this in place, click Save. This gives you access to your products on Amazon directly.
3. Add A Title, Description, And Keywords (You Can Change Everything Else)
When setting up your category setting, you will see various categories and it would be nice if you had more than one. This allows multiple images and descriptions. By adding keywords to your title, description, packaging, etc. you can be extra clever with your listings by showing relevant products. With your categories set up, you can still add your original photos if necessary.

4. Customize Permutation to Increase Reach
Amazon has several tools to optimize your listing. They have some great features that allow you to search for specific items and the ability to filter that items based on multiple criteria. You can also do better searches by adding multiple keywords. One way to improve your reach (and discover new products) is increasing perms of keywords. However, having more keywords does not guarantee success. Let me show you how to increase product variety by including a keyword. Make sure that your keyword is related to what you want customers to find when they type in “buy’. Follow these steps:
1. Search Amazon for a list of your desired products. The number of results for keywords increases with the number of products that you want to include in your listings. Choose 2–4 at random, and write down the keywords that you want to include on your titles, descriptions, and packaging (if relevant). Once done, repeat this for different keywords. Keep at least ten keywords that you want to include on every single piece of content, regardless of their purpose.
2. Take screenshots of all the contents that don’t have any text. Copy these items and paste them between lines in a box. Paste them in order on top of all the contents that do not have words within a word size. Remember you’ve used all these keywords to create your title, description, and packaging. ClickSave, print these out and keep them on your clipboard to grab and run again! Repeat the above steps for all keywords, except the ones with no keywords.
3. Adding Other Item Sections
You can add multiple additional items to your entire listing without adding any keywords. In your main product category, select an image that fits your brand. Then select the sub-category “other” and paste the pictures into a tab. At the bottom of every other category, select another category. Go to Create New Category, and add your chosen sub-category.
4. Creating Products & Titles
Remember this is a part of the shopping cart so you need to take care of it. Select the categories where you want to place your product pages. Under the “Add to Cart” section, select the product that you want to add. Also, select Edit and click on Settings > Manage Product Pages. Now go to Add Product Page. At the top of the product page, scroll down until you see a button titled Insert Item Details. Paste the information on this field.
5. Uploading Assets
Once the sale is made, upload the completed product onto our website. Next, choose a package dimension and upload any file from your computer. Then we’ll upload it to Amazon’s warehouse facility, and we’ll deliver it to you within 48 hours. Wait for it to get processed & shipped to your customer. If you have any questions or concerns about ordering, please contact us at support@amazon.com.
6. Testing All Images in Studio
After uploading all the files, select Image Uploader in the right side menu and upload your image on the front-end. This will automatically upload the image on the backend if the uploaded one doesn’t fit to the dimensions.
7. Fulfilling Your Orders
Once your order is placed, we’ll be processing it immediately before sending to Amazon associates. Before you’re happy with Amazon’s fulfillment service, you may look at this feature called Product Status Tracking [PST]. When your order is placed, click on PCT and put the order on a waiting list. Another important option that helps you with orders is adding a note to your purchase to ensure the buyer will receive the correct product. If for any reason, there are any questions, complaints, or issues, you can always report those issues through our FAQs.
