Welcome to the OctoPicks Blog

The best sellers on Amazon typically combine strong momentum metrics (rising sales rank), consistent revenue growth, positive review velocity, and solving a clear customer pain point. OctoPicks tracks momentum score—a composite metric measuring rank improvement, sales velocity, and review growth—to identify products gaining traction before they peak. Products with 30%+ rank improvement and steady unit sales often indicate sustainable demand rather than temporary spikes.

Finding profitable Amazon products requires tracking multiple data points: momentum score (rising fast), competitive landscape (not oversaturated), margin potential (selling price vs. sourcing cost), and keyword search volume. Use product research tools like OctoPicks to monitor daily momentum shifts, analyze top-selling ASINs, and spot emerging trends before competitors. Focus on categories with repeat purchase potential (consumables, health products) for sustainable cash flow.

Momentum score is a proprietary metric that measures how quickly a product is gaining traction on Amazon. It combines sales rank improvement percentage, review velocity, and revenue growth over time. A high momentum score (0.4+) indicates a product is trending upward and may present sourcing opportunities before competition saturates the niche. Tracking momentum helps sellers identify winning products early, validate demand quickly, and make faster sourcing decisions.

Successful Amazon FBA sellers check product trends daily or at minimum 3-4 times per week. Market momentum can shift rapidly—a product trending today may be saturated next week. OctoPicks updates trending product data daily, allowing sellers to spot emerging winners, validate their current inventory decisions, and pivot quickly when momentum shifts. Set up alerts for specific categories or metrics to stay ahead of market changes.
