If you are wondering how to sell on Amazon and how to do product research on Amazon then you are at the right place. In this blog post we are going to talk about the best product research tool for Amazon FBA. There are many options available. Let’s talk about one of the most popular one.
One of the most important things you need to get right when starting your Amazon FBA business is to find the right product for your Amazon FBA business. There are many tools that help you find it but one of the best Amazon product research tools we have used is Helium10. The main benefits when using Helium10 is that it comes with many other things. Looks like nowadays the product research tool industry is getting more competitive and everyone wants to make the best product research tool for Amazon and it’s really good for Amazon sellers because we get more value from these tools. Few years ago there were only a few product research tools to choose from.
We are using Helium10 everyday in our business and we are very happy with it. We’ll never recommend anything on our site that we are not 100% sure of.
Top reasons why Helium10 is one of the best Amazon product research tools
We will cover every aspect of Helium10 and offer you a full overview of the software so you’ll see why it’s such a powerful tool and why people are using it. There are a couple of reasons we’d like to bring out separately why Helium10 really stands out from the rest.

It comes with a full Amazon training course created by Kevin King – Freedom Ticket. It’s a 11 week online course that has over 50 hours of video lessons. It teaches you everything from the start: how to analyze product listings, how to find suppliers, how to do Amazon PPC etc. Few years ago the course price was $1500. Now you can get it with a Helium10 monthly fee. It’s really a very good deal. Usually Amazon courses sell for $2000 and more.
Additional to that you will get updated Freedom Ticket course and Amazon PPC training. It really is one of the best deals out there today if not “the best deal”.
It has one of the best Amazon product research tools. It comes with Helium10 google chrome plugin with what you can scan Amazon pages and see for how much these products are selling for. This is probably going to be the main tool you use to find what products to sell on Amazon.
Third reason is that Helium10 software really comes with a lot of things. It has more than 10 tools with what you can launch, run and track your Amazon business. You don’t need to pay separately for these. It’s all included with the Platinum plan. I will cover all these tools in this blog post and give you a short overview.
Helium10 Google Chrome extension
This is going to be one of the main tools for your Amazon product research. With Helium10 google chrome extension you can scan Amazon pages and how much these products are selling on Amazon per month.
For example if we search “watermelon slicer” on Amazon then you can see right away how many sales are products getting, if it’s seasonal, size tier on Amazon, number of reviews etc. Imagine if you could walk around in regular shopping centers and see how much sales are products generating just by looking at them. Wouldn’t that be powerful? You can do that on Amazon and use that information for your product research.
Helium10 Black Box
Black Box is basically a robot inside Helium10 that helps you spot opportunities on Amazon. You can enter certain criteria’s of what you’d like to search. For example:
- Looking for a product that does at least $10 000- $20 000 in sales
- Has less than 300 reviews
- Price between $10 – $20
- Has low review rating on Amazon (so we can improve it)
- Is small size (cheaper to ship it)
After entering these things in the filters, Black Box gives you potential product ideas. You can also pick a category where Black Box looks for product ideas. It’s a very powerful part of Helium10 and makes it one of the best tools for Amazon product research.

Cerebo
With Cerebo you can see what are the main keywords for a product, where it’s getting sales and how much search volume they have.
With this data you can analyze the product opportunity much better and see if you could also rank for these keywords on Amazon. For example if you see that the main keyword is watermelon slicer and products are ranking there with thousands of reviews then you are probably not going to rank there very well if you are just starting out. But you could also find smaller keywords. For example watermelon cutter and there might be an opportunity there if there aren’t products with a lot of reviews and high ratings.
Note: This was just an example product. We are not saying that watermelon slicer is a good product to sell on Amazon.
Profitability calculator
With a profitability calculator you can calculate your profit margins if you’d sell that product on Amazon. You will see right away if the product has high or low profit margins. For that you also need to check your shipping cost per unit.
If you haven’t checked your exact costs for the product then these numbers are estimates. Always double check the exact shipping cost to Amazon FBA and the manufacturing cost for your product before making the final product order. Amazon also has its own profitability calculator. See it here.
