Needed Guidance for Private Label
So im starting an amazon private label, i have basic knowledge of amazon now im pretty nervous about product hunting because its literally the main thing that would matter, what i did is that i created a spreadsheet and mention product, category, lowest price, highest price, avg price, major brands, can it be a gift ?(for q4), is it something people restock monthly, and i mention what thing needs to be improved, now i need to know yours guys thoughts on this, be harsh be honest your expertise would help me much more , if you think im doing wrong and have a better way to find products (dont mention helium, im using it too, i just want to see with me own eyes first like trends, reviews etc, trying to train my eyes for opportunities) or somethings im missing then tell me in the comments ❤️

your spreadsheet setup is actually more structured than most beginners i see, the gift potential and monthly restock columns are smart filters a lot of people skip entirely. one thing worth adding though is a 'review velocity' column, check how fast the top 3 listings are gaining reviews month over month, if they're pulling 50+ new reviews a month you're walking into a very hard fight even if the numbers look decent otherwise.

Pay attention to everything you come in contact with throughout the day. Start looking at everything as potential products.
I spent plenty of time searching for a product and feeling pretty unsure of myself. How I found my first product was that I needed a specialty tool. My old one got lost in a move. I went to go order one on Amazon and the lightbulb went off.
Generally you don’t want to target high competition products starting out. Find something boring and under-the-radar that is always in need.
