Choosing the right product to sell on Jumia online (or Amazon, Konga etc) for High volume sales

Opening an account on jumia, konga , amazon, jiji etc then posting items for sale is pretty easy and straight-forward .  Becoming a successful jumia and online seller on the other hand is, not, so straight-forward .

   This short article will give you some tips on finding good products that can make you money and avoid the dreaded “low sales volume” problem. After you start selling on jumia or other platforms you will notice that when you go to drop you sales you will see sellers that have sold many items daily; also there are sellers with low sales !   What makes that difference? Is it luck / prayers/ God/ planning ?  I think it’s a little of all these things put together.

Tips from my Jumia seller account.

1`) Start by selling as many items you can easily get around you from grocery stores, markets etc. or your existing offline business.

2 ) Once you start selling.  You want to increase your sales volume steadily by

 Adding more products

Observing what other vendors are selling ***

Visit Jumia / Other websites to observe top selling items

Clothes and fashion items are a good category but like anything else in life there is no guarantee.  Try different products and categories and be attentive to items that are moving in high volume at the jumia office or your delivery partner.

Conclusion    

   Ultimately, when your store is matured and established, you want items that will sell almost daily for you (based on how much time and effort you want devote to your online store).  

Paid ads are an option but realistically they don’t seem to be as important as finding that right product(s) through trial and error and observing top selling items.  When you get your “super product” you will know because it will basically sell itself without much promotion from you. 

  Some people find their super product on day 1 , others might take a very, very long time.  But make no mistake if others can be successful doing it then it can potentially work for you too !!! Questions, comments and complaints welcome! Good luck and happy sales!
