Hello Amazon Seller,
The top 20% of products on Amazon are earning 80% of the revenue
The days of ignoring Amazon SEO, throwing up any old product on Amazon, and then waiting for the paychecks to start rolling in are long gone. Instead, in an increasingly competitive marketplace, Amazon continues to develop algorithms to match sellers’ products with their shoppers. Your product has to be relevant.

Today, if you’re not maximizing the impact of your Amazon SEO, you’re in great danger of losing out on sales. After all, the top 20% of products on Amazon are earning 80% of the revenue!

Amazon says third-party sellers made more than $3.5 billion from Prime Day
Thanks to Prime Day 2020, small- and medium-sized businesses in 19 countries made $3.5 billion this week on Amazon. That’s according to the retailer’s own stats. In typical Amazon fashion, the company didn’t disclose how much revenue it made during the two-day event, nor did it say anything about total sales. Amazon did mention that the $3.5 billion third-party sellers made represent a 60 percent increase over their earnings during Prime Day 2019. It also made a point of noting that third-party sales grew more than its own.

Amazon made a lot of changes to its guidelines for sending messages to customers. The following is excerpted from an article by ZonGuru and we pasted it here because it is so important to get it right or you could lose your Amazon account.

Amazon’s new terms of service prohibit the following messages:
|
- Order or shipping confirmations
- Thank you messages or here to help messages
- Marketing or promotional messaging, including coupons
- Language that either incentivizes or persuades the buyer to submit positive product reviews or seller feedback
- Language that requests removal or an update of an existing product review
- Language that requests a product review only if they have had a positive experience with the product
- A repeat request (per order) for a product review or seller feedback
Amazon prefers a consistent messaging experience for its customers and states all permitted messages should not contain the below:
|
- External links, unless they are secure working links (https, not http), necessary for order completion or links to Amazon
- Attachments except for product instructions, warranty information, or invoices
- Logos, if they contain or display a link to your website
