Just starting out
Of course you can. Nobody is forcing you to use any app. If you are smart enough, you can make a profit.
Remember that other sellers are using these apps and they have the same information so essentially, you are completing with each other.

For selling, having apps isn’t mandatory. However, when researching, sourcing, or listing products, you may find it helpful to use tools and websites. You can subscribe to them at that stage if you haven’t already.

Yeah, you can.
Absolutely, you can sell on Amazon without using tools like SellerApp, especially when you’re just starting out. Many successful sellers begin with minimal tools and gradually invest in software as their business grows. Here’s how you can get started without relying on third-party apps:
- Use Amazon’s Built-In Tools
Amazon provides several free tools to help you manage your business:
Amazon Seller Central: This is your hub for managing listings, inventory, and ads.
Brand Analytics (if you’re brand registered): Provides insights into search terms, market trends, and competitor performance.
Amazon Advertising Console: Helps you create and manage PPC campaigns manually.
- Focus on the Basics First
When starting out, prioritize these key areas:
Product Research: Use Amazon’s Best Sellers and Movers & Shakers lists to identify trending products.
Keyword Research: Manually search for your product on Amazon and note the auto-suggested keywords. Also, check competitor listings for relevant keywords.
Listing Optimization: Write clear, keyword-rich titles, bullet points, and descriptions. Use high-quality images.
- Run Manual PPC Campaigns
You don’t need automation tools to run effective PPC campaigns:
Start with Auto Campaigns to let Amazon find relevant keywords for you.
Analyze the search term report to identify high-performing keywords.
Create Manual Campaigns with these keywords to gain more control over your bids.
- Track Performance Manually
Use spreadsheets to track your sales, ad spend, and profitability.
Monitor your ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) and adjust bids or pause underperforming keywords.
- Leverage Free or Low-Cost Resources
Helium 10 Free Trial: Use their free trial for product research and keyword tracking.
Jungle Scout Free Chrome Extension: Helps with product research and estimating sales.
Google Trends: Identify seasonal trends and demand for your product.
- Learn and Iterate
Join Amazon seller communities (e.g., Reddit’s r/FulfillmentByAmazon or Facebook groups) to learn from others.
Watch free tutorials on YouTube or take beginner courses on platforms like Udemy.
When to Consider Tools Like SellerApp
As your business grows, you might find it harder to manage everything manually. That’s when tools like SellerApp can save time and provide deeper insights. But for now, focus on mastering the basics and reinvesting profits into your business.
Key Takeaway:
You don’t need apps like SellerApp to start selling on Amazon. Many sellers begin with just Seller Central and manual processes. Once you’re generating consistent sales and feel limited by manual work, that’s the time to explore automation tools. Good luck!
