RECOMMENDED CATEGORIES FOR THE AMAZING SELLING MACHINE

Not all categories are created equal, when it comes to creating your Amazon business.

To maximize the results of your Amazon business, make sure that you only choose products from categories that are well-suited to the physical products business.

We are only interested in categories that contain the following:

▸ Products that have private label potential

▸ Products that have high sales volume

▸ Products that are profitable

We are not interested in categories that:

▸ Do not fit the above criteria

▸ Are copyright protected (e.g., software, etc.)

This document contains the categories that we recommend you sell in, as well as those which you should avoid selling in at all costs.

Please note: Some of the categories we recommend require approval from Amazon before you can sell in them. These categories are denoted with an asterisk (*).

If you want to start your business off with a bang, make sure to sell in the recommended categories.
