Variations of the same product can typically be made for any of your competitors by the manufacturer. You don't own the patent or anything else. you only own the brand-the "label." On a generic product, you can put your own label on it.

If things go bad, you'll lose more than beer money, but probably not your shirt.Competition is moderate.

How Do I Begin Selling Amazon's Private Label Products?
Amazon's private labelling FBA entails selling (pre-existing) things on Amazon under your own private label (label). You contact product suppliers/manufacturers directly after analysing a product/market, and they build the goods for you in mass, at cost, and under your brand name.
1. Choose Your Product
Many people begin by considering items they enjoy that they might be able to sell. Don't get caught in this snare! It's not always possible to make a living selling the things you enjoy.Prepared to channel your inner Spock and make flawlessly rational conclusions. Look for things with a lot of demand but little competition.
2. Choose High Demand
Using a programmer designed for this purpose is a simple method to collect particular, accurate demand and competition data. Jungle Scout's Chrome add-on (professional, but not cheap) and maze are two examples (rough around the edges, but free).Do you want to do a manual check? Looking at two things: the Best Sellers rank and the amount of reviews, you may obtain a general indication of demand for free.Unfortunately, whether or not the Best Sellers rank is a reliable indicator of high demand is dependent on the category. Anything over 50,000 in some categories might be worth selling. In some cases, you may wish to limit yourself to the top 1,000.
3. Find Low Competition
How several suppliers provide products that are similar to each other? Is Amazon directly selling one? If the competition is too fierce, don't enter.Reviews are just as useful for gauging competition as they are for gauging demand. If there are hundreds of ads each with hundreds of reviews, it may be difficult to persuade anyone to try your untested product. Tools like the Jungle Scout add on and amzme can help you get cold, hard facts by displaying sales figures and other valuable information. Avoid products when only a few brands appear to be dominating the market. Instead, look for products with a wide range of sales across many listings. Customers are more inclined to explore all options, including yours, when sales are dispersed.
4. Purchasing Private-Labeled Goods
Once you've decided on a product to sell, you'll need to find a manufacturer to build it for you.
