Helium 10 provides Amazon sellers with three essential tools for product research.

The first tool in this course, the Helium 10 Chrome Extension, is really five tools in one. The extension includes:

• Xray
• ASIN Grabber
• Profitability Calculator
• Inventory Levels
• Review Insights

Unlike the rest of the Helium 10 tools, once you've installed the extension on your computer, these tools are active directly on the Amazon site when you access it using the Google Chrome browser.

The second tool in this course is Black Box. Black Box is a filtering and search tool that allows you to set various parameters in your hunt for a specific product to sell. Narrowing your product search based on sales volume, price, reviews, cost and other factors, helps you zero in on the right products for your budget and sales goals.

The final tool in this course, Trendster, pulls search results from Amazon and Google, identifying the time of year a specific type of product is popular. It helps sellers plan the schedule and launch of products at the optimal time to maximize sales.
