text The four core elements of e-commerce are: products, channels, operations, and supply chains. Products are the core of the core. Without good products, everything is zero. Especially for platforms such as Amazon, the importance of products is self-evident. Referring to past experience: In many cases, the products of top stores are often popular products that can lead the market trend.
So, what are our steps and methods to find popular products? 1. Focus on Internet influencers in niche markets People who can become industry bigwigs or internet celebrities usually have accumulated a lot of fans and have a certain authority in the industry. Their sensitivity and awareness of products are definitely higher than the general public. Often, well-known accounts are more likely to be recommended and become leaders of market trends. We can often achieve good results by finding trending products through their recommendations. First, you need to follow the influencers and authoritative accounts in your industry, check their content regularly, study the products they recommend on social media or in their own stores, and find out which brands they follow and what characteristics they have. The possibility of these products becoming popular products in the future is much greater than the products we have no plan to choose. 2. Find niche products on video platforms After the popularity of short videos in China, videos gradually replaced public accounts as the mainstream tool for spreading information. Of course, the global trend is also the same. Analyzing products through videos makes it easier to understand. Although Tiktok, the overseas version of Douyin, has been suppressed in the United States, it is still very popular. Of course, it is still slightly weaker than YouTube. If you want to know the popularity and trend of the product you choose, you might as well go directly to the video search engine and enter keywords to get information. This is also a relatively new channel and method. 3. Use e-commerce tools to find hot-selling products How to find and create a hot-selling product is the biggest headache for sellers.
