Hey folks! If youโve been following my journey here on GarlicPressSeller.com, you know Iโm all about doing things my wayโexcept when it comes to product research. Letโs face it, digging through data and trying to predict the next garlic press sensation isnโt exactly my idea of fun. So, I decided to shake things up and let someone else do the heavy lifting. Enter SellerHook.
Why I Decided to Outsource (Finally!)
Alright, I admit itโIโm a bit of a control freak when it comes to my Amazon business. Product research is crucial, no doubt, but itโs also a time suck. It requires digging through tons of data, analyzing trends, and second-guessing whether youโve really found a winner. For someone like me, who is juggling multiple aspects of my Amazon business, this can quickly become a time-sucking black hole.
By outsourcing product research, I aimed to free up my time for other important tasks, like optimizing my listings, managing inventory, and handling customer service.
Pros
Serious Time Saver: Instead of spending hours (or days) researching, I got a detailed report handed to me.
Expert Insight: These guys know their stuff. The report wasnโt just a bunch of fluff; it was packed with real data and analysis.
Fresh Eyes: Sometimes, youโre so deep in the weeds that you miss the obvious. SellerHookโs outside perspective gave me some ideas I hadnโt even considered.
Cons
Costs Money: No surprise hereโquality services cost. SellerHook isnโt crazy expensive ( $187 for a product niche), but itโs not pocket change either. Itโs an investment, so youโve got to weigh it against the potential payoff.
Trust Issues: Letting someone else pick a product for my brand was a bit nerve-wracking. I mean, this is my baby weโre talking about!
No Guarantees: Even with all the data in the world, thereโs no crystal ball for predicting Amazon success. SellerHook gives you a great starting point, but the rest is up to you.
What is Included in the Report?

The Results
Am I happy with the product idea they found for me?
Yep, Iโm pretty happy with what they delivered!
SellerHook handed me a thorough report with a product idea that made sense. They didnโt just toss out some random product; they backed it up with market trends, sales estimates, competition analysis, keyword report, etc. I still did my own digging (because, hey, old habits die hard), but their report gave me a solid foundation to build on.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the product, and so far, so good.
Could I have found this product on my own? Maybe. But having SellerHook do the legwork definitely made the process smoother.
