Exploring the Duties and Importance of an Amazon Virtual Assistant.

What is a virtual assistant (VA) in Amazon private label?

An Amazon Virtual Assistant is a remote professional who supports sellers in handling multiple areas of their online Amazon business.

Unlike traditional employees, VAs work online and are usually hired through freelancing platforms or directly by clients.

Amazon is a complex marketplace with millions of sellers, and most of them cannot manage everything on their own. Sellers need assistance with everything from product research and advertising to shipping, customer service, and listing optimization to grow their business. That’s where VAs come in.

 

Why Sellers Hire Virtual Assistants

Time Constraints

Sellers often work full-time jobs, manage families, or run multiple businesses. They don't have enough time to handle all Amazon-related tasks.

Lack of Expertise

Amazon has strict policies and complex tools. Sellers prefer hiring trained VAs who understand:

• Amazon Seller Central
• PPC Campaigns
• Keyword Tools
• Compliance and shipping systems

Cost Savings

Hiring a VA from countries like Pakistan, India, or the Philippines allows international sellers to get high-quality support at affordable rates, often under $500/month.

 

Core Services Provided by Amazon Virtual Assistants

This is the heart of your learning. These are the main services you need to master as a virtual assistant.

1. Product Research

 

1. Product research is the most in-demand service. Product research involves identifying items that meet specific success criteria, such as

• In high demand
• Low in competition
• Profitable after all, co.

What Makes a Product Winning

• At least 300+ monthly sales

Have fewer than 150 reviews among the top-ranking listings.

• Lightweight and small (to reduce shipping costs)
• No legal issues (no patent, trademark, or restriction)
• Can be sold at 3x its cost price.

Tools Used

• Helium 10 (Black Box, Xray)
• Jungle Scout
• Amazon BSR data
• Google Trends

Steps a VA Performs

• Analyze keywords with high search volume.
• Study competitor pricing, reviews, and ratings.

Evaluate how much the client needs to invest and what profit margin they can expect.

• Filter seasonal vs. evergreen products.
• Create detailed product research sheets for clients.

This is the essential skill that every beginner should learn at the start of any Amazon course.

 

2. Product Sourcing & Supplier Communication

Once a product is approved, sourcing begins.

Key Steps:

• Find suppliers on Alibaba, DHgate, or Global Sources.

Send quotation requests to no fewer than 10 potential suppliers.

• Compare MOQ (minimum order quantity), unit cost, and shipping terms.
• Request product certifications if needed.
• Check for intellectual property or patent issues.
• Help the client negotiate prices and payment terms.

Additional Skills Required:

• Understanding incoterms like FOB, EXW, and DDP
• Knowing how to request product samples
• Communicating professionally via email or Alibaba chat

VAs play a key role in building supplier relationships and reducing risks.

 

3. Freight Forwarding & Shipping Management

Amazon FBA involves sending your products to Amazon’s designated warehouses.

VA Responsibilities:

• Coordinate with freight forwarders in China (e.g., Forest Shipping, FBABEE).
• Choose between air cargo, sea shipping, or express delivery.
• Create and manage shipment plans inside Seller Central.
• Ensure correct labeling and packaging.

 Monitor ongoing shipments and keep the client informed with regular updates.

If you’re looking to work in an Amazon VA agency or offer services as a freelancer, this knowledge is critical.

 

4. Listing Creation & Optimization

A product is useless unless it ranks and converts. That’s why a well-optimized listing is essential.

Steps Involved:

Utilize keyword research tools to find top-performing search terms.

 

• Create a dummy listing to generate ASINs and test optimization.

Write persuasive titles, detailed bullet points, and optimized product descriptions.

• Use persuasive language and highlight product benefits.
• Work with graphic designers to prepare:

o    Main images

o    Infographics

o    Comparison charts

Set up the backend with appropriate keywords, subject matter, and how the product is intended to be used.

Develop content for A+ listings and complete Brand Registry requirements, if the seller qualifies.

An optimized listing increases visibility, improves conversion, and drives long-term sales.

 

5. Product Launch & Review Strategy

Fill in backend data, including search terms, subject details, and intended application. If this step is handled poorly, the product is likely to fail in the market.

VA Tasks:

• Prepare a complete launch plan based on keyword demand.

Generate internal traffic by launching both automatic and manual PPC advertising campaigns.

• Help arrange organic review orders (VVRO).
• Use influencer marketing, giveaways, or social media boosts.
• Set up early reviewer programs (if eligible).

Skills Needed:

• Basic knowledge of Amazon’s ranking algorithm
• Understanding of the order-to-review ratio
• Ability to monitor early performance and suggest improvements

This service is in high demand for both beginner and 7-figure sellers.

6. Amazon PPC Advertising Management

Amazon advertising is one of the highest-paid services VAs offer.

Types of Campaigns:

• Auto campaigns: Let Amazon choose keywords.
• Manual campaigns: You select keywords and match types.
• Sponsored products, brands, and display ads

VA Tasks:

• Launch low-budget auto campaigns to collect data.

Extract the performing keywords and shift them into targeted manual campaigns.

• Set match types: broad, phrase, and exact.
• Adjust bids weekly based on performance.
• Pause or reduce non-converting keywords.
• Monitor ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales).
• Create reports and send weekly updates to clients.

Tools like Helium 10 ADS and Amazon Campaign Manager are used daily in this process.

For sellers using the FBM model (fulfilled by merchant), VAs are responsible for daily order management.

Tasks:

• Confirm orders.
• Print shipping labels.
• Track and manage delivery.
