How to List Products on Amazon
First things first. If your item hasn’t been for sale on Amazon, you will need to create a new Amazon listing to make your product accessible. Here’s how to list products on Amazon with a whole new brand.
Step 1: Start listing on Amazon
In your Amazon Seller Central, click “Add products” under “Catalogue”. Then click on “I’m adding a product not sold on Amazon.”
Step 2: Classify your Amazon product
Click on the category in which you want to add your products and click “Select”
Step 3: Enter product details
In this section, you’ll need to provide your product details by filling in the tabs Product Identity, Offers, Keywords, Images, Description, Compliance, Vital Info, Variations, and More Details.
You will need to include GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers), which are unique product identifiers often required to list products on Amazon. They help ensure accurate product identification and tracking. However, GTINs can be costly or time-consuming for some sellers. You should learn how to apply for Amazon GTIN exemption to save time and money.

Once you complete your product details, click “Save and finish” to list it on Amazon. And that’s how to list a new product on Amazon.
