SELLEBITES INBOX

An Amazon seller (OP) asked: What do you do when youâve tried every ad strategy, earned great feedback, and still canât make sales?
OP launched their product back in April and went all inâAmazon ads, Meta ads, auto and manual campaigns, and even off-Amazon content marketing. The result? A brutal 0.12 ROAS. Thatâs not a typo.
𪍠Launch out of juice
Clicks were flowing. Sales were snoring. The product looked legit, reviews on point⌠yet conversions stayed asleep.
- Ads werenât converting. Multiple platforms, same silence.
- Product-market fit looked fine. Feedback was positive, yet demand didnât repeat.
- Cash pressure hit hard. Ad costs stacked up, turning enthusiasm into anxiety.
- The urge to quit. OP considered liquidating before losing more cash.
Itâs the classic Amazon gut-check moment, where passion collides with profit math, and sellers realize the algorithm doesnât care how much effort youâve put in.
âď¸ Cold, useful fixes
Veteran sellers didnât offer sympathy, they offered surgery. The consensus: stop hoping ads will save a listing that isnât built to convert.
- Upgrade your visuals. Mediocre photos and generic A+ content kill trust instantly.
- Rework your pricing. Compete directly with your top five rivals before expecting sales.
- Refine your positioning. âPeople buy with emotion, not logic,â one seller reminded OP.
- Target niche communities. Find where your audience actually hangs out, TikTok, Reddit, or niche Facebook groups.
- Offer smaller sizes. Let new buyers test the product before committing to full-price packs.
đ§ The debate over brand story
One seller blamed the lack of brand storytelling. Another fired back: âNo one cares about stories for detergent; they care about benefits, price, and proof.â
Turns out, both were right. Even a strong product needs a reason to stand out, but emotion alone wonât fix weak positioning.
In a saturated market, differentiation isnât decoration, itâs survival.
