Launching a product on Amazon isn’t just about hitting “publish” on a listing. To start making real sales, you need to actively promote your product and build early momentum. This article outlines the essential steps to get your first buyers and boost your visibility on the world’s largest marketplace.

Optimize Your Listing Before You Promote

Before spending time or money on promotion, make sure your product page is fully optimized. That means a clear, keyword-rich title, compelling bullet points, persuasive descriptions, and high-quality images. Every part of your listing should be designed to attract attention, answer questions, and convert visitors into customers.

Why this matters: Amazon’s algorithm favors listings that convert well. Good content = better visibility + higher conversion rates.

Use Amazon PPC to Get Early Traffic

Amazon’s Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads are the fastest way to get in front of buyers. Start with an automatic campaign to let Amazon test which keywords perform. After gathering data, switch to a manual campaign to refine targeting and control spending. Even a small budget ($5–10/day) can drive results when managed well.

Why this matters: PPC not only drives traffic—it also helps your product rank organically over time.

Get Your First Reviews

Without reviews, shoppers are less likely to trust your product. Encourage early buyers to leave feedback using Amazon’s Request a Review button inside Seller Central. If eligible, enroll in Amazon Vine to receive verified reviews from trusted reviewers.

Why this matters: A handful of good reviews builds trust and dramatically improves conversions.

Run Launch Promotions and Discounts

Offering limited-time promotions or coupons can help boost early conversions. These can push your product up in rankings and attract more attention during its early days on the market. Tools like Lightning Deals or simple percentage-off coupons can make a big difference.

Why this matters: Sales velocity is key to ranking — and promotions help trigger it early.

Drive External Traffic to Stand Out

Amazon rewards sellers who bring in off-platform traffic. Use social media (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube), email marketing, or partnerships with influencers to drive visitors directly to your listing. Even a small amount of external traffic can help you gain an edge.

Why this matters: External traffic boosts organic ranking and builds brand awareness beyond Amazon.
