Amazon<\/a> already has product pages for tons of products, but if your product is not present in their catalogues, you can create a product page of your own. All you need to do<\/a> is upload some good images of your product, write a good description for it, and a name. Hit save and your product page becomes visible in the Amazon catalogue. However, this requires you to have a Pro Merchant account first. You don\u2019t need the Pro Merchant account to add your own listing for an existing product page. Assuming you don\u2019t have a Pro Merchant subscription, here are the steps to do it.<\/p>

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>You will<\/a> be prompted to pick a category for your product first. Browse the available categories and select one, which you think is appropriate for your product. You can also search for a category by typing in the search box. If there are subcategories, choose the appropriate one.<\/div>
6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Type in your product\u2019s name and enter a UPC, ESBN or any other identification code for it if you know it. This will identify your product.

Check under \u201cFind it on Amazon\u201d and if you find a page, simply click on \u201cSell Yours\u201d to create your own listing for it.<\/p>

The Next Step: Write a Captivating Sales<\/a> Description<\/p><\/div>

To make a sale, you first have to sell the idea of your product. That\u2019s right; the first thing that needs to happen is the customer<\/a> getting interested in the idea of the product. There needs to be a desire in the mind of the buyer. Once it\u2019s there, you need to convince them that your product is the best there is. That\u2019s how a sale happens. With Amazon, the best way you can do this is by writing a great product description. This is a tried and tested way to convince potential buyers that your product is what they need. It\u2019s very difficult for a potential customer to ignore your product if you have a product description that appeals to their psychology. So, it\u2019s important for you to write a powerful product bio that gives your customers the right mental push and make them buy the product. Let\u2019s take a look at some things which make the product description compelling.<\/p><\/div>

Tip: Address the customer<\/h3><\/div>
We\u2019ve already discussed that you need to pick a product that targets a niche. The thing about niche audiences is that they are easier to appeal to. You have some idea about what they like and what they don\u2019t. Knowing your primary customers is the most important thing for you. If you want to sell toys for infants or very young kids, you will target<\/a> women between the ages of 25-40. They\u2019re going to be your primary customers typically, so you have to write a product bio keeping them in mind. You need to directly address them in your product description. To make it appealing to your demographic, you can do a few things. Try and make the description conversational, for a start. This makes your reader feel like they\u2019re talking to you and that you\u2019re answering their questions instead of reading a monologue. Also, you should use the word \u201cyou\u201d often in your description to address the buyer. Mention the benefits, not the features This is an elementary rule of selling anything. Don\u2019t concentrate on the features of your product, concentrate on the benefits. The buyer is not interested in knowing what the product can do; she only wants to know how the product will benefit her. This is basic knowledge, and while it\u2019s important to do this, you need to be careful about how you do it, too. Start with writing down everything you know about the product. Try and be interesting; be creative and witty. It\u2019s okay to write anything good about your product, even things like the colour, the material, special features, or ergonomic comfort. Once you\u2019ve done this, pick the best ones and rewrite them, this time focusing on the user and how it will benefit her.<\/div>
