Viral Vue's historical data feature gives Amazon influencers a full picture of how a product has been selling over time,, not just what it's doing today. Whether you're browsing Amazon search results, evaluating creator connections campaigns, or exploring a seller's storefront, this feature surfaces key metrics going back months so you can make informed decisions before reviewing, buying, or partnering with a brand.
What Metrics You Can Track
- Monthly units sold: see actual volume trends over time
- Monthly revenue: track dollar performance month by month
- Price history: check whether pricing has been stable or erratic
- BSR (Best Seller Rank): lower BSR means more sales; spikes may indicate stock-outs
- Review count: a rising count signals healthy, growing traction
All metrics are viewable over the last 30, 90, or 180+ days depending on how long the product has been listed. Toggle between them with a single click inside the extension.
Where to Find It
- Amazon search results: Click the graph icon next to the 30-day revenue overlay on any search page.
- Product Vue: Click the price or revenue figure inside the extension's product view to pull up the full graph. Toggle between metrics from there.
- Creator connections: Open Product or Campaign Vue, then click the graph icon next to any listed product.
- Seller storefronts: Run Product Vue directly on a seller's storefront page to evaluate their full catalog history.
- Web app (app.viralvue.com): View sales history and your own video placement data under Storefront → Videos.
How to Evaluate a Product Using Historical Data
- Open the graph: click the graph icon or revenue figure next to any product on Amazon search, product view, or creator connections.
- Check the trend direction: is revenue climbing, declining, flat, or seasonal? Look for consistent upward momentum over several months.
- Spot seasonal patterns: a product selling well in July but dropping to near-zero in November may be seasonal. Know what you're getting into before you review it.
- Check how far back the data goes: if it only goes back a few weeks, the product is newly launched. Weigh the risk accordingly, especially if you're buying it yourself.
- Check the seller: if the product looks new, visit their storefront and run product view to see if their other products have a strong long-term track record.
- Review BSR and review count: a rising review count is a healthy sign. A BSR that spiked suddenly may indicate a stock-out. Look for anomalies before committing.
Why This Matters
- Avoid seasonal traps: Don't commit to a product right before it goes dormant for 6 months.
- Vet new sellers: A brand-new product isn't a dealbreaker if the seller has a proven catalog behind them.
- Protect your investment: Stop buying products that are already in decline before you ever record a video.
- Find long-term earners: One great video on a reliable product earns commissions for months, not days.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Should I avoid all seasonal products?
Not necessarily. Seasonal products can be very profitable if you plan around them. The key is knowing they're seasonal before you review them, not finding out after your commissions drop to zero in the off-season.
What does a spike in BSR mean?
A sudden spike in BSR usually means the product stopped selling well temporarily, often due to a stock-out. Look at whether revenue and units recovered afterward — a product that bounced back after a stock-out is still likely a solid pick.
