This document discusses the importance of product research for finding winning products to grow an Amazon business. It outlines both manual and automated methods for conducting product research. The manual method involves a 7 step process of searching for products on Amazon, validating keywords and criteria like patents and hazmat restrictions, and sourcing the product from Alibaba. The automated method uses Helium 10's Blackbox tool to input criteria and find products that meet the criteria. The goal of product research is to identify a profitable product to sell on Amazon or other platforms.
