How to get your first 100 sales on Amazon and Flipkart.
The first 100 orders are the hardest - and the most important, because they create the reviews and ranking signals that make the next 1,000 easier. Here is a focused playbook.
1. Pick one focused product
Do not launch a scattered catalogue. Choose one product with real demand, manageable competition, and margin you can defend. Validate it with the Product Research tool.
2. Build a complete, keyword-led listing
A half-filled listing cannot rank or convert. Research keywords, then write a strong title, five bullets, description, and backend terms. Use the SEO Keywords and Listing Generator tools.
3. Price to earn early orders
Early on, momentum matters more than maximum margin. Price competitively to win first orders and reviews - but confirm you still profit with the ROI Planner.
4. Earn genuine early reviews
Deliver well, package carefully, and follow up politely. Early honest reviews build the trust that lifts conversion and ranking. Never buy fake reviews - it risks suspension.
5. Run a small, focused ad budget
Once the listing is complete and priced right, a small ad spend on your one strong listing buys early visibility and data. Ads amplify a good listing; they cannot rescue a weak one.
6. Improve weekly using data
- Check impressions, clicks, conversion, and returns.
- Read new reviews and questions for objections.
- Fix the single weakest part of the listing.
- Score the page with the Listing Score tool.
- Repeat - small weekly gains compound fast.
