While you can, for example, comb through lists of best-selling Amazon items, dig into Google trends, and see what’s popular on Instagram, it’s not much fun to spend all the time required to do so.
That’s why product research tools like AMZScout exist. AMZScout leverages information about all the products in Amazon’s massive database in order to automate the product research process for you.
AMZScout is designed for anyone who is selling physical products online, but it’s especially useful for individuals that are figuring out how to start selling on Amazon.
