The Helium Boys, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino, are back for the first game-week recap episode of the 2026 season, and they're back in the thick of it as all the staples of the Helium Boys Podcast are in full effect with the Two-Minute Drill, stocks, upcoming game preview, answering listener questions, take it or leave its and Chris forcing Shotgun to do a blind ranking against his will.The podcasting duo open with the Two-Minute Drill where Chris discusses the abhorrence of an event that took place at the Coliseum in the season opener while Shotgun scattershots across a variety of topics that have been national discussions from USC's 42-26 win over San Jose State. The boys of Helium jump into prior comments and corrections before breaking down the Trojans' victory and which players/units/themes saw their stock rise or fall. They also preview the upcoming Friday night matchup with Fresno State.After a break, Shotgun takes on Trevino's Take It or Leave It segment before the show concludes with an Overtime period of blind ranking rivalries that range from sports to cities to cartoon characters.

Today Michael welcomes back Priscilla Wagner of Relentless B2C, Marine Corps veteran, and quite possibly the most spreadsheet-brained guest in Badger Nation. She's been on the show for the visibility death spiral, for classifying keywords by how they actually behave instead of by raw console numbers, and for the custom Excel bidding system Michael still talks about. This time she's opening up her forecasting model.The idea: auditing an account that's already running is the easy version. The data is sitting right there. Forecasting is the hard version, because you're projecting spend and revenue off keywords that have zero performance history attached to them. As Michael puts it, the digital marketer in all of us wants to launch big and find out fast but sitting down to plot it out first is what real businesses do.Priscilla walks through the entire build. Tiering roughly 90 competitors by relevancy using Helium 10 and Claude. Bucketing keywords into core, expansion, branded, and broad discovery. Pulling current impression share straight out of the Search Query Performance report, then picking a lift target that's "big enough to read, small enough to test." She also shares the variable Michael had never seen anyone put in a forecast before: click-through rate and conversion rate decay, because your CTR cannot possibly hold steady as your impression bucket multiplies.And there's a real case study in here. One client's forecast surfaced a buy box problem before a single ad went live so the recommendation wasn't a campaign structure, it was "stop selling to resellers first."We'll see you in The PPC Den!

We begin Episode 24 with one of those hypothetical questions that immediately exposes exactly how much faith you have in the people around you:Someone offers you $50 million cash, tax-free. All you have to do is call someone. If they don't answer, you get the money.Who are you calling?For the Rizz Show crew, the answer becomes obvious very quickly: King Scott.The man apparently treats incoming phone calls like suggestions.Rizz is already mentally spending his $50 million because King Scott never answers. Moon is apparently another safe bet, and the conversation quickly turns into an intervention about why Scott's phone is always on Do Not Disturb—especially with a very pregnant wife at home.Probably time to turn the ringer on, buddy.If not, apparently the rest of The Rizzuto Show is prepared to raise the child. It takes a village, and unfortunately this is the village available.Then it's time for the Rizz Quiz, where contestants get 45 seconds to answer as many supposedly simple questions as possible. One wrong answer immediately stops the clock. We're talking third-to-fifth-grade territory: basic math, colors, geography, animals, planets and other information most adults confidently assume is still stored somewhere inside their brains.That confidence does not survive this comedy show.Janelle starts strong with pink, 30, LEGO and 366 days in a leap year before the phrase “natural satellite” completely derails the operation. The answer was the moon. Instead, we get a curse word and an early exit.Chris comes in ready to work—and apparently ready to work with the loudest calculator ever manufactured. He gets through Harry Potter, pentagons, Florida, multiplication, McDonald's and subtraction while everybody tries to figure out whether he's playing the Rizz Quiz or doing taxes on a Texas Instruments from 1987.Then Craig absolutely cooks.Milk. Spider legs. Mars. Division. Elephants. Inches. Gravity. Multiplication. Hawaii. Addition. Helium.The man puts up 11 correct answers, which in this game basically makes him Ken Jennings.Bill gets one chance to dethrone him.First question: What animal is known as man's best friend?Dog.Second question: What is 60 divided by 6?Zero.And that's it.Craig wins Blues home-opener tickets while Bill presumably begins a long and painful reconciliation with the number 10.Round two begins with Brittany taking on a piano, decades, Antarctica and basic multiplication. Eight times four?36.Nope.The crew also realizes some questions have returned from the previous day, giving Rizz a chance to see whether anybody actually learned anything from Simpleton Trivia. Spoiler: education remains a work in progress.Then Columbia Jeff steps up and cruises through colors, subtraction, human anatomy, triangles, Mario, multiplication and geography.How many nickels make one dollar?50.Suddenly Rizz feels much better about his own previous nickel-related failure. This isn't just trivia anymore. This is Rizz redemption.Another Jeff enters the arena and successfully handles penguins, division and Canada before 18 plus 22 becomes…50?Math claims another victim.Finally Ethan gets the last shot. He works through stop signs, Washington, D.C., division, dolphins and rainbow colors before getting tangled up in a question about the force behind ocean tides.And that's the Rizz Quiz experience in a nutshell: everything seems insultingly easy until the music starts, a timer is running and suddenly you're staring into the abyss wondering whether 18 plus 22 has always been 50.This comedy show proves once again that basic math becomes advanced calculus when someone puts you on the radio.The Rizz Quiz isn't difficult.Your brain is just a coward.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Angie Mosqueda from Stardust, a company aiming for roughly $4 million in Amazon sales this year. What began as a traditional B2B business selling industrial products through distributors has evolved into a sophisticated Amazon operation with high-ticket products, business pricing, PPC clicks that can reach $20 or more, and even a six-figure-per-month product. But one of Stardust's biggest opportunities didn't come from a new keyword or advertising campaign. Through persistent networking at Amazon events and leveraging its business certifications, the company eventually became a preferred seller to Amazon itself—meaning Amazon warehouses can now purchase Stardust products. The company also became a preferred seller for Chicago Public Schools through Amazon Business. Angie explains how these opportunities took roughly a year and a half of networking, follow-ups, and navigating Amazon's programs, showing why sellers shouldn't overlook certifications, Amazon Business, or simply getting in the room with the right people. Angie also shares why Stardust recently moved its Amazon advertising away from outside agencies and brought PPC management in-house using Helium 10 Ads. While the account's overall numbers previously looked healthy, getting closer to the data exposed wasted spend hiding underneath those top-level metrics. She also explains how she's using Helium 10 Audience to validate creative decisions and the Helium 10 MCP with Claude to analyze bids, identify opportunities, make changes, and learn Amazon advertising as she goes. Bradley wraps up the episode with a live Cerebro deep dive into Stardust's top-selling spill kit, revealing how sellers can identify their real competitors, compare relative organic rank, uncover keyword gaps, and study historical advertising and BSR trends. Instead of guessing what might move the needle, sellers can reverse-engineer what changed when a competitor's sales and rankings improved. Stardust may already be approaching $4 million on Amazon, but this episode proves an important lesson: no matter how established your business becomes, there's always another layer of opportunity hiding in the data. In episode 762 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Angie discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 03:37 - Taking A Legacy B2B Brand Online 06:30 - Why Their PPC Clicks Cost $20+ 09:02 - Launching New Products On Amazon 11:49 - Becoming A Supplier To Amazon Warehouses 13:16 - Unlocking Amazon Business Preferred Seller Programs 15:39 - Certifications And Networking With Amazon 16:23 - Bringing Amazon PPC Management In-House 17:34 - Using Helium 10 Audience And AI 19:11 - Managing Amazon Ads With MCP 22:49 - Bradley's Live Cerebro Competitor Analysis 33:50 - Reverse-Engineering Competitor Growth Strategies

Discover how Amazon Global Logistics could simplify your supply chain, reduce surprise fees, speed up FBA inventory, and change how you ship products globally. Getting inventory from your factory into Amazon FBA can be one of the most complicated parts of running an ecommerce business. Between freight forwarders, customs, placement options, unexpected fees, and changing transit times, sellers have plenty of decisions to make. In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Alex Berry, who leads Amazon Global Logistics (AGL), to break down how the program works and where it fits into an Amazon seller's supply chain.   Alex explains how AGL differs from traditional freight forwarding, including Amazon Managed Placement and Seller Managed Placement. Sellers can choose between different approaches for getting inventory distributed across Amazon's five US regions, while AGL also offers air, standard ocean, and fast ocean shipping options. The conversation also tackles Incoterms such as FOB and DDP, Amazon Customs and Trade (ACT), payment options, and one of the biggest headaches in international freight: unexpected fees. Unlike the common "Bill One, Bill Two" model Alex describes in the freight industry, he says AGL provides the price upfront without a second bill filled with additional charges such as detention, demurrage, or driver wait times. But AGL is continuing to expand. Alex shares updates on dangerous goods support, including electronics with batteries and upcoming lithium-ion battery capabilities, as Amazon works toward supporting more than 99% of ASINs by mid-2027. He also discusses faster routes into the eastern US, premium ocean service into Europe, expanding international shipping lanes, contract pricing for qualifying sellers, and plans that could eventually allow sellers to use AGL to ship directly to non-Amazon destinations such as their own warehouses and 3PLs. Ready to explore Amazon Global Logistics? Visit http://h10.me/agl to learn more, start the onboarding process, and get approximately 8% off your first AGL shipment as a first-time user. Helium 10 Elite members: Keep an eye on your inbox for a separate AGL link specifically for Elite members. Whether you're already using a freight forwarder or simply looking for more options, this episode offers a closer look at what Amazon is building on the logistics side of the business. The biggest lesson isn't necessarily that every seller should switch to AGL—it's that sellers should understand their true landed costs, shipping speed, placement strategy, and supply chain options before deciding what works best. The more efficiently you can get inventory where customers need it, the better positioned your business is to stay in stock, protect margins, and keep growing. In episode 548 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Alex discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - Everything You Need To Know About AGL 03:11 - Inside Amazon Global Logistics 07:26 - AGL Vs. Traditional Freight Forwarders 10:27 - How AGL Inventory Placement Works 13:19 - Understanding FOB And DDP Shipping 15:37 - Customs, Duties, And Payment Options 18:01 - Using AGL For Multichannel Selling 19:43 - Avoiding Surprise Freight Forwarding Fees 22:02 - Shipping Hazmat Products With AGL 23:59 - Air, Standard, And Fast Ocean Shipping 25:51 - New AGL Features Coming For Sellers 30:00 - How To Get Started With AGL

Today, Alvaro is applying those lessons at Flooret, a premium flooring company that built much of its success through direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Selling flooring online creates a very different customer journey than selling a typical Amazon product. Customers often begin by purchasing small samples before committing to a full flooring order covering around 1,000 square feet. That makes understanding customer acquisition costs, sample-to-order conversion rates, and the entire purchasing funnel especially important. Now, Flooret is expanding further into marketplaces like Amazon and Home Depot by meeting customers where they already want to shop. Alvaro explains why sellers should stop thinking of themselves as simply an “Amazon brand” and instead focus on building a true omnichannel business. That means establishing a direct relationship with customers through a website, email, and SMS while still taking advantage of Amazon's massive bottom-of-the-funnel demand. He also breaks down how Helium 10 can help larger brands estimate their realistic obtainable market and determine how much opportunity actually exists inside a category. The conversation also dives into AI, lean teams, and finding opportunities that create the greatest impact with the least effort. Alvaro believes AI should amplify strong employees rather than automatically replace them, especially in areas like creative production, reporting, and business analysis. His final advice is simple but powerful: regularly step back and identify the highest-impact opportunities in your business. Sometimes the next big win is more revenue—but improving shipping costs, customer service, retention, or returns can be just as valuable to your bottom line.

What if one overlooked Amazon metric is quietly costing you sales? Discover how keyword tracking, rank data, and smarter PPC decisions can uncover hidden revenue and stop wasted ad spend.   Amazon sellers spend countless hours researching products, optimizing listings, and managing PPC, but one important metric can easily get overlooked: keyword rank. In this episode, Bradley Sutton breaks down why tracking where your products appear for important search terms can reveal whether your advertising is actually helping your business grow or simply burning through your budget. Even with the rise of AI-powered shopping experiences, keywords remain a major part of how customers discover products on Amazon. Bradley uses real account data, Search Query Performance, and Helium 10 MCP inside Claude to show just how much revenue individual keywords can generate. In one example, a single keyword accounted for thousands of dollars in sales, while hundreds of different search terms contributed purchases to the same product. But finding keywords is only the beginning. Bradley explains how sellers can monitor sponsored and organic rank, identify keyword opportunities competitors are already winning, track relative rank, and automatically discover new search terms worth watching. He also shows how keyword data can inform PPC decisions, including when to raise bids, lower them, pause campaigns, or restart advertising when organic rankings begin to fall. The biggest opportunity comes from turning that data into action. Instead of manually checking dozens of keywords and adjusting bids throughout the day, sellers can connect keyword tracking with advertising rules to dramatically reduce repetitive work. The takeaway is clear: understand which keywords are actually driving your business, track how your rankings change, and use that information to spend smarter. Small improvements across the right keywords can add up to significant sales while helping prevent thousands of dollars in wasted advertising. In episode 544 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley discusses: 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - The Amazon Metric Most Sellers Overlook 03:00 - How Much Amazon Revenue Comes From Keywords? 07:59 - Why Page One Ranking Matters 08:04 - Using Title Density To Find Ranking Opportunities 13:04 - Is Your PPC Actually Improving Organic Rank? 15:17 - Tracking Sponsored And Organic Keyword Rank 21:34 - How One Keyword Generated Thousands In Sales 22:34 - 333 Keywords Driving Purchases 23:34 - Finding Competitor Keyword Opportunities 27:48 - Tracking Your Rank Against Competitors 28:45 - Automatically Finding New Keywords 30:50 - Automating PPC Bid Changes With Keyword Rank 34:40 - Amazon Keyword Strategy Q&A 36:12 - How Many Keywords Should You Track? 38:29 - How To Choose The Right Competitors

After a multimillion-dollar Amazon exit, one seller lost almost $600K in a card scheme then rebuilt through reputation, resilience, stronger branding, and timely marketing lessons for sellers.   ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   What happens when a multimillion-dollar Amazon exit is followed by a financial disaster that wipes out more than half a million dollars? In this episode, Bradley Sutton reconnects with longtime Amazon seller Mitul Patel, the person who first introduced Bradley to Helium 10 nearly nine years ago. Mitul shares how he went from working as a computer programmer to building Run Forever Sports, growing it to $2.5 million in annual sales, and eventually selling the business in 2020. But after his successful exit, Mitul entered the sports card business and trusted the wrong supplier with a massive order. What appeared to be a legitimate operation was actually a Ponzi-style scheme, leaving Mitul with losses between $550,000 and $600,000. Rather than declare bankruptcy and leave his customers unpaid, he sold investments, liquidated much of his collection, borrowed money from his father, and leaned on his reputation within the card community to make things right. His experience delivers a powerful reminder that trust must be supported by proper safeguards, and that your word can become one of your most valuable business assets. Mitul also explains how he rebuilt his career at Navira while creating a new business around his passion for sports cards. Unlike his first Amazon brand, which was built by identifying high demand, his newer products began with problems he personally experienced inside the hobby. Growth has been slower, but the brand has developed stronger loyalty and a more durable foundation. Mitul also shares strategies from managing approximately 45 brands, including using Meta and TikTok to build off-Amazon awareness, studying customer reviews to uncover product advantages, and increasing one product's sales by 40% after highlighting its leakproof design in the main image. Mitul's story proves that success is not defined only by the size of an exit or the speed of a brand's growth. It is also defined by how you respond when everything goes wrong. Through integrity, community, disciplined rebuilding, and a willingness to keep learning, he transformed a devastating setback into a new beginning. No matter how difficult the loss, your reputation, experience, and resilience can give you the foundation to rise again—and build something even stronger than before. In episode 759 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Mitul discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:57 - Mitul's First Failed Amazon Product Launch 02:26 - Building A $2.5 Million Amazon Brand 04:17 - Life After Selling His Amazon Business 06:00 - The $600,000 Sports Card Ponzi Scheme 08:02 - Why Mitul Repaid His Customer 10:38 - Rebuilding His Career After Losing Everything 13:21 - Turning A Passion Into New Products 17:53 - Demand-First Products Versus Passion-Driven Brands 22:43 - Why Cerebro Remains His Favorite Tool 24:46 - Competing Through Off-Amazon Brand Awareness 28:14 - One Main Image Increased Sales 40%

Listen Now to 020 WTFuture Watch 020 WTFuture Hey folks! We are coming to you from Boulder Creek today, joined by Bobby in sunny San Francisco, before we head off on our annual summer vacation to Montreal! In this week’s chat, we completely geeked out over the future of our “augmented brains” and the rise of local AI, like the mind-blowing new Bonsai tech that squeezes a massive 27-billion parameter model right onto an iPhone. It is a total game-changer because it acts as a private, “sovereign” AI companion that does not need the cloud, saves energy, and ensures nobody steals your ideas. We also had a great time joking about the “dead internet” theory now that bot traffic has surged 7,800%. But don’t worry, human creativity is still king—especially when we use AI as a collaborator to create hilarious, custom animations of floppy disks barfing green data goo, complete with gassy liquid sound fx! Looking to the stars, we were absolutely captivated by SpaceX’s Starship landing beautifully in the Indian Ocean and their wild plans to launch giant AI compute satellites to build an off-planet internet. We also discussed the hilarious twist of a 1972 Soviet Venus probe, Cosmos 482, finally crash-landing back on Earth after a 53-year detour in orbit. To top it all off, astronomers just found LHS1140B, a rocky exoplanet 48 light-years away that has a faint stream of helium, marking the first time we’ve detected an atmosphere on a habitable-zone rocky world! It’s a beautifully abundant, high-tech future ahead of us, and as we pack our bags for the Laurentian Mountains, we can’t wait to see what wildly optimistic paradigm shifts happen next. Enjoy!

What if Amazon sellers could turn Helium 10 data into instant AI reports? Learn about MCP workflows for keyword research, PPC, competitor analysis, listings, and faster decisions. Amazon sellers have access to enormous amounts of valuable data, but turning that information into clear decisions can take hours of filtering, exporting, and spreadsheet work. In this episode, Carrie Miller, Bradley Sutton, Jason McLellan, and Vincent Lan demonstrate how the new Helium 10 MCP connects Amazon data with AI platforms such as Claude and ChatGPT, allowing sellers to analyze their businesses through simple, conversational prompts.   The episode explores practical workflows for Amazon competitor research, keyword ranking, PPC optimization, product research, and listing improvement. Sellers can compare a competitor's strongest and weakest sales months, identify the keyword-ranking changes that may have influenced performance, uncover valuable keywords they are not tracking, and connect changes in page traffic with historical keyword movement. The Helium 10 MCP can also combine information from Cerebro, Black Box, Search Query Performance, Profits, Keyword Tracker, Brand Analytics, and Helium 10 Ads into one customized report.   Carrie shares how her listing analysis skill compares a product with its competitors, identifies keyword gaps, evaluates listing quality, and prioritizes search terms that may be close enough to page one for a strategic PPC push. Jason reveals how his agency combines Product Opportunity Explorer data with Helium 10 insights to create detailed market intelligence reports, while Vincent explains how he centralizes weekly performance data to understand how changes to pricing, images, rankings, and advertising affect the entire business.   The real power of the Helium 10 MCP is not simply having more data—it is being able to ask better questions and receive an actionable plan in minutes. Sellers who learn how to build effective prompts and reusable AI skills can replace hours of repetitive analysis with faster, smarter decisions. The tools are evolving quickly, but the sellers who begin experimenting now may gain an important advantage in how they research, optimize, and grow their Amazon businesses.   In episode 542 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Carrie, and Vincent discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:35 - What Is The Helium 10 MCP? 03:55 - Connecting Keyword Rankings With Sales Changes 07:24 - Building A Market Intelligence Report With Jason McClellan 12:18 - Finding Competitors' Most Consistent Clicked Keywords 13:58 - Connecting Helium 10 MCP To Claude And ChatGPT 15:56 - Carrie's Favorite MCP Keyword Opportunity Strategy 17:15 - Analyzing Competitor BSR And Historical Rankings 20:46 - Finding Valuable Keywords You Are Not Tracking 23:06 - MCP Usage Limits And Upcoming Write Capabilities 27:47 - Connecting Page Sessions With Keyword Rank Changes 31:05 - Using MCP To Improve PPC Campaign Structure 35:23 - Tracking Branded Search Volume And Product Opportunities 38:39 - Carrie's Listing And Competitor Analysis Skill 42:50 - Combining Helium 10 Tools Into One Weekly Report 45:07 - How To Reduce MCP Calls And Use It Efficiently 47:19 - Finding Competitor Keywords Worth A PPC Push 49:46 - Free Helium 10 MCP Prompts And Skills

How does an $8 Amazon product stay highly profitable? Today's guest reveals his wholesale strategy, European sourcing advantages, AI workflows, and resilient multichannel growth.   ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   Can an Amazon seller build a profitable business around products priced under $10? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Ivan Komashinsky, the entrepreneur behind the U.S. distribution of Pedag Insoles and the Meltonian shoe-care brand. Ivan shares how he went from working at Microsoft to acquiring an established seven-figure e-commerce business—and eventually tripling its revenue. While Amazon remains Ivan's largest channel, his company has built a much broader operation through its own websites, independent retailers, regional distributors, Walmart, eBay, TikTok Shop, and Faire. Ivan explains how wholesale volume, strong supplier relationships, and European manufacturing allow Meltonian to maintain healthy margins on products selling for as little as $7.99. He also breaks down why managing inventory in-house makes sense for a business carrying thousands of SKUs across multiple sales channels. Ivan also reveals how his team uses Helium 10 tools such as Cerebro and Magnet to rank for valuable non-branded keywords and develop new products based on customer demand, competitor gaps, and search behavior. More recently, he has been using the Helium 10 MCP through Claude to investigate declining product sales, analyze trends, and explore profitability, traffic, conversion rates, keyword rankings, and advertising performance through natural-language conversations. From building authority on Reddit to getting started with wholesale through Faire, trade shows, and industry associations, Ivan offers a practical roadmap for creating a more resilient e-commerce business. His story shows that success does not always require expensive products or a business built entirely around Amazon. With the right sourcing, volume, distribution strategy, pricing policies, and willingness to adapt, even a traditional brand can unlock new growth opportunities.

Amazon title limits are changing. Learn how to protect your most important keywords, update listings faster, and keep Amazon's AI from making costly changes to your product titles. Amazon is introducing a major product title update beginning July 27, and sellers need to understand what is changing before Amazon's AI starts rewriting their listings. Most product titles will be limited to 75 characters, while an additional 125 characters can be placed in a new Item Highlights field. Although Amazon says the split should not affect indexing, advertising relevance, or searchability, sellers should still carefully review which keywords remain in their titles and how important phrases are structured. In this episode, Bradley Sutton explains why the first 75 characters still matter for Amazon SEO and how sellers should prioritize their brand name, main product keyword, and key distinguishing features such as size, color, or quantity. He also demonstrates how to preview Amazon's proposed AI changes inside Seller Central. While Amazon's recommendations may preserve most listing content, even a small wording change can remove an important exact keyword phrase and potentially weaken a product's relevancy signal.   For sellers managing hundreds or thousands of listings, manually reviewing every title is not practical. That is where Helium 10's new Bulk Optimize Titles feature inside Listing Builder becomes especially valuable. Diamond Plan members can select multiple active listings, generate AI-recommended titles and Item Highlights, review the suggestions from one screen, and sync the optimized content directly to Amazon. The tool is designed to preserve valuable keyword phrases while keeping listings compliant with Amazon's new character limits.   Amazon's update does not need to become a last-minute emergency. Review your titles, protect your most valuable search terms, and use the right tools to update your catalog efficiently. Sellers who want access to Bulk Optimize Titles can use coupon code SSP20 to save 20% on the Helium 10 Diamond Plan for six months. Do not wait for Amazon's AI to decide how your products should be presented. Take control of your listings before the changes take effect. In episode 540 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley talks about: 00:00 - Introduction 00:49 - The July 27 Amazon Title Requirements 01:14 - How Titles And Item Highlights Will Be Split 03:00 - Why Product Titles Matter For Amazon SEO 04:30 - What To Include In The First 75 Characters 05:00 - Previewing Amazon's AI Title Changes 07:22 - How Amazon's AI Can Remove Important Keywords 09:19 - The 14-Day Review And Approval Period 10:42 - Helium 10's New Bulk Optimize Titles Feature 11:55 - Amazon AI Versus Helium 10's Recommendations 12:50 - Syncing Optimized Titles Directly To Amazon 13:55 - Save 20% On The Diamond Plan With This Discount Code 15:39 - Creating New Listings Under The Updated Format 17:42 - Final Title Optimization Checklist

Für die Produktion modernster KI-Chips wird Helium immer wichtiger – doch ausgerechnet dieser Rohstoff könnte knapp werden. Rund 30 Prozent des weltweiten Heliumangebots stammen aus Katar. Eine weitere Eskalation im Nahen Osten und eine mögliche Blockade der Straße von Hormus könnten deshalb zu einem Angebotsengpass führen. „Helium ist tatsächlich dieses Nebenprodukt der Erdgasförderung oder Verflüssigung von Erdgas und deswegen kann man auch keine strategischen Reserven anlegen", erklärt Michael Blumenroth im Rohstoff-Talk. Der Rohstoffanalyst der Deutschen Bank über die Bedeutung von Helium für die Chip-Industrie und die Frage, ob Anleger überhaupt in den Rohstoff investieren können: „Es gibt keinen Helium-ETF. Die beste Gelegenheit für Anleger wären wahrscheinlich Industriegase-Produzenten." Außerdem geht es um den Goldpreis, der sich trotz hoher Inflationserwartungen, steigender Anleiherenditen und höherer Ölpreise wieder erholt hat. „Vielleicht gerade weil jetzt keiner damit rechnet, könnte jetzt tatsächlich ein Ausbruch demnächst nahen." Wie sich die Eskalation im Nahen Osten auf Öl, Erdgas und weitere Rohstoffe auswirkt und welche Chancen Silber und Industriemetalle bieten könnten, erklärt der Experte im Interview von Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://www.xetra-gold.com

Bob Zimmerman surveys new discoveries: astronomers have detected a helium atmosphere on a terrestrial exoplanet located 48 light-years away in its star's habitable zone. Closer to home, archival data from Pluto reveals massive landslides, proving the dwarf planet is geologically active rather than dormant. Meanwhile, new images of Valles Marineris on Mars illustrate the canyon's staggering scale, with depths equivalent to the height of Mount McKinley. These discoveries emphasize that planetary bodies across our solar system are dynamic and evolving. (12)OCTOBER 1958

Astronomy Daily S05E148 — "Far Side" Thursday 23 July 2026 Starship gets a second shot at Flight 13 — with a schedule caveat worth knowing about. The first far-side lunar samples reveal that Earth has been quietly shielding the side of the Moon that faces us. Astronomers debate whether the lunar far side should be closed to industry. The Milky Way's only helium nova finally steps out from behind twenty-five years of dust. And the case that our entire galaxy once turned over. Plus a skywatch closer with a straightforward piece of advice about the Delta Aquariids: do not wait for the peak.In this episode Starship Flight 13 ●        Window opens 6:45pm EDT / 2245 GMT Thursday 23 July — 8:45am AEST and 10:45am NZST Friday 24 July. ●        Schedule is not locked: Starbase road and beach closure notices point to further Pad 2 testing. ●        The 16 July attempt aborted at T-0 when four of 33 Raptors missed start parameters; the limit is three. ●        Two Raptors were removed and replaced before this attempt. ●        First-ever Starship deployment of V3 Starlink satellites — 20 of them. ●        Super Heavy splashes down in the Gulf at ~7 minutes; Ship targets the Indian Ocean off Western Australia at ~65 minutes. No catch attempts. Chang'e-6 and the solar wind ●        Published in Nature Geoscience by a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Geology and Geophysics. ●        Based on 1,935 grams of regolith returned from the South Pole–Aitken basin on the lunar far side. ●        First direct laboratory comparison of solar wind implantation between the near and far sides. ●        Far-side soil records faster, deeper-penetrating particles; the neon isotope ratio sits below every near-side sample measured. ●        About a quarter of the solar wind exposure at the Chang'e-5 near-side site involved wind decelerated by Earth's magnetosphere. The far-side site shows none. ●        Opens the possibility of using lunar noble gases as a fossil record of Earth's magnetic field over deep time. The far side debate — NAM 2026 ●        Held Tuesday 21 July at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting, University of Birmingham. Convened by Prof Martin Ward. ●        For the motion: Prof Joe Silk (Johns Hopkins) and Dr Jonathan McDowell (Durham Space Research Centre). ●        Against: Dr Nikita Chiu (Durham) and Dr Manuel Salvoldi (aerospace engineer and educator). ●        For: the far side is the only radio-quiet site near Earth — critical for detecting the cosmic dark ages, and an exceptional platform for gravitational wave detection. ●        Against: commercial investment is what makes lunar exploration sustainable, and governance can let science and industry coexist. ●        Audience support for the motion rose from 68% to 76% across the debate. V445 Puppis ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by John Mills, University of Warwick. ●        The only confirmed helium nova in the Milky Way. Erupted in late 2000, then vanished behind its own dust for over twenty years. ●        Now confirmed as a white dwarf accreting from a rare stripped helium star — only a few thousand such stars are thought to exist in the entire galaxy. ●        Orbital period of 3.7 days, roughly double previous estimates. Mass transfer has resumed. ●        Unexplained high-speed "bullets" of possibly oxygen-rich gas travelling up to 20 million mph (~9,000 km/s) — never seen in any other nova. ●        Data from ESO's Very Large Telescope, Hubble, the Southern African Large Telescope and TESS. ●        Helium novae may be one pathway to Type Ia supernovae, the standard candles used to measure cosmic expansion. The Milky Way disc flip ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by Kirill Batrakov, Durham University. ●        Based on 25 Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulation suite, followed across roughly 11 billion years. ●        Galaxies with the most slowly rotating stellar haloes shared a major head-on merger and a disc reorientation greater than 90 degrees. ●        Our stellar halo rotates at only 10–20 km/s; the disc moves at around 220 km/s. ●        The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus collision roughly 10 billion years ago is the candidate trigger. ●        Batrakov describes a disc flip as likely rather than confirmed, and is looking for independent signatures. ●        Separate 2026 work led by Ling Zhu, using 600,000+ giant stars from Gaia and LAMOST, found the outer dark matter halo oriented almost vertically to the stellar disc — consistent with the disc having tilted. Skywatch ●        Southern Delta Aquariids are active now, running into late August, with maximum around 30 July. ●        Full Moon on 29 July means peak night is close to 98% illuminated — the worst conditions of the run. ●        Best window: the pre-dawn mornings from now until roughly 27 July, after moonset. ●        Radiant near Skat in Aquarius. Use Fomalhaut and the Great Square of Pegasus to locate it. ●        Australia and New Zealand: radiant climbs near overhead. Best from around 2am to first light. ●        North America: radiant sits low in the south — fewer meteors, but a better chance of long-trailed earthgrazers. Same 2am-to-dawn window, local time. ●        Sunspot region AR4493 has grown rapidly to beta-gamma-delta complexity — the highest classification — and has already fired three M-class flares in a day. Worth watching aurora alerts.

How did a home-based reseller become a global e-commerce leader for a 9-figure K-beauty brand? Discover her Amazon strategy, future-customer targeting, TikTok tactics, and smart AI tools.   ► Watch The Podcasts On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   Bradley Sutton takes the Serious Sellers Podcast on the road, and onto a moving rail bike in South Korea, for a conversation with Jenna, Global E-commerce Team Manager at TONYMOLY. Jenna shares how she went from studying law and working as a programmer to spending ten years raising her daughter, discovering e-commerce from home, and eventually building a successful international selling career. She began by reselling Korean sporting goods to US customers through eBay before shifting her attention to Amazon, where one business reached as much as $10,000 in monthly profit. Her success during the pandemic earned her recognition from Amazon Korea and opened the door to managing accounts for other companies. Jenna has now used Helium 10 for approximately five years, and her favorite tool is the Xray Chrome Extension. She uses Xray while browsing Amazon to quickly review estimated sales, keywords, and Best Sellers Rank, helping her evaluate products and marketplace opportunities without leaving the search results. Today, she applies that experience at TONYMOLY, a 20-year-old K-beauty company generating approximately $163 million in annual sales. Jenna also reveals an unusual long-term marketing strategy: targeting customers before they become the brand's core buyers. If current anti-aging customers are between 40 and 50, her team may create content for women closer to 35, building awareness years before the need becomes urgent. TONYMOLY and its newer brand, BONCEPT, also use TikTok and Meta to drive product discovery, while positioning Amazon as the more attractive place to complete the purchase. The company supports these strategies through close collaboration between its e-commerce, sales, and R&D teams, allowing it to respond quickly to fast-moving beauty trends. From emerging ingredients such as PDRN, retinol, and retinal to the use of AI for copywriting, images, videos, and English-language content, this episode offers a fascinating look at how a global beauty company combines marketplace data, creative storytelling, and product innovation. Jenna's journey proves that starting small does not limit where e-commerce can take you. By continuing to learn, adapting when marketplaces change, and understanding customers before competitors do, sellers can turn an unexpected opportunity into a truly global career.

Last week Christian called Vista's rumored bid for Criteo "cheap" and left it at a throwaway line: three to four times.. what? A few people texted him afterward and said he could have done better; he agreed.So this week, solo from an undisclosed location while Ayelet celebrates her 30th in LA, Christian goes deep. A full side-by-side of Criteo and LiveRamp, a walkthrough of why the multiple gap between them makes almost no sense on the financials, and a concrete bull case: pay $58 a share, a 200%+ premium, then run an M&A play to build the agentic commerce OS for brands and retail.The thesis isn't buy it cheap. It's buy it decisively.What we cover: Who actually leaked the Vista story (and why Criteo's repeated phantom-deal leaks are a comms problem), the Criteo vs. LiveRamp side-by-side on revenue growth, revenue mix, EBITDA, and free cash flow, why LiveRamp's 107% net retention is at real risk once Publicis owns it, why Criteo's transactional model might be the safer bet in an agentic era where subscription pricing is under fire, the AI option value nobody's pricing in, and three specific M&A targets that would fix Criteo's biggest gap: no Amazon, no Walmart.Plus two deals worth flagging: Podean's fifth acquisition (Social Commerce Club) and Brunner buying AdSkate.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:26 — Solo episode, life changes, and happy 30th to Ayelet 0:50 — Why we're revisiting Criteo/Vista: "you really could have done better" 1:30 — The backstory: Bloomberg, Reuters, and a 50% premium at ~$3.7B implied 2:00 — Who leaked it?

Helium 10 releases a super-powerful MCP that will revolutionize the way you manage your Amazon accounts. New data shows that AI and Alexa for shopping have not decreased the number of people using the Amazon search bar to enter keywords.   We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Helium 10's new MCP is changing the way Amazon sellers research, analyze, and take action on marketplace data by connecting Helium 10 directly with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Now available to Diamond and above users, the Helium 10 MCP lets sellers ask natural-language questions and instantly pull insights from tools like Black Box, Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads, without manually downloading reports or switching between multiple dashboards. In this episode, Bradley Sutton shows how sellers can uncover product opportunities, analyze competitor keyword rankings, review historical Brand Analytics and Cerebro data, and build smarter advertising strategies in minutes instead of hours.

Bradley Sutton breaks down a new Helium 10 research study analyzing whether Rufus, now Alexa for shopping, has significantly changed how shoppers search for products on Amazon. Despite the growing conversation around AI replacing traditional keyword search, the data shows that Amazon search volume, clicks, and conversion behavior have remained largely consistent from 2024 through 2026, with no major shift away from keyword-based shopping. While Alexa for shopping may be useful for product discovery when shoppers are unsure what they want, Bradley explains that most buyers still use the search bar when they already know what they are looking for, making keyword research and listing optimization just as important as ever. The key takeaway: sellers should not ignore Rufus/Alexa for Shopping optimization, especially for listing questions and product-page interactions, but traditional keywords are far from dead.

How did a European Amazon seller use AI, logistics, keyword data, and Helium 10 to scale millions without selling in the U.S.? Today's guest reveals the hidden plays most sellers overlook. ► Watch The Podcasts On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes Bartłomiej Piątkowski, better known as Bart, an Amazon seller and agency operator from Poland who has sold millions in Europe and helped other brands do the same. What makes his story especially interesting is that he has built this success without selling his own products in the U.S. marketplace. Bart's journey started far from the typical e-commerce path. Trained as a cook, he then worked in radio and electronics, and discovered Amazon in 2016 when his company was on the verge of shutting down. With only a small amount of money left, he began learning about Amazon through online communities, moved returned inventory from retail into Amazon Europe, and realized that marketplace margins could beat traditional retail margins. From there, his business expanded into private label brands, reselling, packaging products, textiles, and managing major brand relationships across Europe. The conversation gets tactical as Bart breaks down how his team uses Helium 10, AI, keyword data, and advertising automation to move faster. He explains how tools like Cerebro, Magnet, Search Query Performance, Helium 10 Ads, and the all-new Helium 10 MCP help his team understand how Amazon reads a catalog, identify keyword opportunities, adjust bids based on performance, and even research hundreds of products in a fraction of the time. He also shares launch strategies using lower starting prices, Vine, coupons, inserts, and social proof to help products gain momentum. Bart also reveals why logistics, mobile-first listings, and category attributes are becoming major advantages for sellers in Europe. From sending inventory directly into destination countries for faster Prime delivery to optimizing listings for mobile shoppers and browser filters, his message is clear: success on Amazon is no longer about doing one thing well. It is about connecting data, operations, AI, and customer behavior into one smarter system. For sellers willing to adapt, automate, and think strategically, this episode is a reminder that the next level of growth may come from fixing the invisible parts of the business others ignore.

//The Wire//1900Z July 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: HORMUZ TRAFFIC SLOWS AS AIRSTRIKES CONTINUE IN IRAN OVERNIGHT. PRESIDENT TRUMP STATES THAT THE CEASEFIRE IS OFFICIALLY OVER. WIRED-GUIDED FPV DRONE DISCOVERED IN CARTEL WEAPONS CACHE IN MEXICO. RUSSIAN AFRICA CORPS CONTINUES CONFLICT IN MALI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Yesterday's targeting continued throughout the night, with dozens of targets being struck within Iran. Much of the targeting centered around the major port of Bushehr, with a SAM site being struck and the runway being cratered again last night.Strait of Hormuz: This morning the UKMTO published a notice reaffirming their assurance that the southern Omani route remains open for use. Despite this assurance (and highlighting that sentence in red in their notice), most of the maritime community is no longer trusting this route at the moment due to Iranian targeting which kicked off the war again. No vessels transited either route overnight due to the targeting, however some ships attempted to make the crossing this morning.Far East: This morning China imposed an export ban on Helium, effective immediately. The Ministry of Commerce stated that this decision was made to allow domestic semiconductor chip manufacturing facilities to maintain their supply of the gas, which is essential for the production of computer chips.Analyst Comment: Most of the world's supply of Helium is produced as part of the process of refining natural gas in the Middle East. Since the war began, crude oil has not been the only concern, but also other distillates and byproducts such as jet fuel and helium. China halting exports is a substantial indicator of the severity of the current war. China has also been able to get more of their ships out of the Gulf than anybody else, so if even they are hurting for helium, this is not a good sign.Africa: The conflict between Russian mercenaries and FLA militants has continued to escalate, with fierce fighting being reported in the vicinity of Anefis over the past few days. The Russian Africa Corps base in Anefis has been routinely targeted by FLA, with most of the attacks taking the form of ground skirmishes or drone attacks.Mexico: During a counter-narco raid in Durango yesterday, Mexican forces located a fiber-optically controlled drone platform within a weapons cache in the Dolores del Río neighborhood. This drone was reportedly fitted with an explosive charge similar to that which has become more commonly used throughout the region for carrying out attacks between rival cartel factions.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, yesterday evening contradictory reports circulated on social media regarding which nation actually carried out some of the strikes within Iran. Some reports claimed that the strikes in the afternoon were not conducted by the United States, but actually another nation. The most obvious culprit is Israel, but reports also claimed that the Kuwaitis also conducted attacks of their own last night as well. No matter who actually dropped the munitions, the effect is the same: the Iranians consider all attacks on their territory as originating from the same US-led coalition. What the Iranian response will be is unclear. Previously, they have been extremely forthcoming with the target list they would strike, if the US conducted more serious targeting within Iran. Desalination plants, energy production facilities, oil export terminals, and the aircraft at US bases in the region which are once again within Iranian missile range, are all likely targets if the Iranians so desire. Considering that President Trump announced that the ceasefire is officially off this afternoon (but that talks will continue) the next few days will be instrumental in determining if the war will return to it's full form, or if the attack-peace-attack cycle will continue.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

"Real Life Evolution" With close to ten brilliant albums under her belt, including Real Life, To Survive and The Classic, it's hard to think of a more critically-acclaimed artist in recent memory than singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joan As Police Woman. After studying music as a violinist at the College of Fine Arts at Boston University with her lifelong friend Mary Timony of Helium, the Maine-born Joan Wasser Wasser played in punk bands, joined the Dambuilders, formed Black Beetle and played with Those Bastard Souls and Antony and the Johnsons. I'm cutting corners here, but over the course of her winning career, Wasser has become one of the most in-demand musicians on the planet. She's played, recorded and toured with the likes of Iggy Pop, Damon Albarn, Rufus Wainwright, Elton John, Tony Allen, Lou Reed, Sheryl Crow, Lloyd Cole, Joseph Arthur, Scissor Sisters, Tanya Donelly, David Sylvan and John Cale, just to name a few. Joan As Policewoman's new album finds Wasser revisiting her Real Life album on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary. Reimagined with soul, grace and musical precision, Real Life Evolution not only demonstrates the elasticity of the original compositions, it also demonstrates how art can be reimagined and reinterpreted by the artist themselves. Featuring guest like Iggy Pop and Krystle Warren, Real Life Evolution simmers with reggae grooves, jazzy shuffles, and spare, indie rock ache and it's not only the perfect companion to the original, it stands proudly by itself. www.joanaspolicewoman.com (http://www.joanaspolicewoman.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: IG + BLUESKY + THREADS: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

What separates short-term Amazon sales from long-term brand growth? Learn the repeat purchase strategy behind a $20M brand and how sellers can use it. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, host Carrie Miller welcomes Jason McLellan of Prime Team Agency to break down the customer retention strategy behind VitaCup's growth into a $20 million Amazon and omnichannel brand. Jason shares how Amazon started as VitaCup's smallest sales channel at around $2 million, then became a major driver of the business by using a different way of thinking: focusing less on cheap customer acquisition and more on which products created loyal, repeat buyers.   Jason explains how the VitaCup team used cohort data and product repeat rates to understand which ASINs were truly worth investing in. Some products looked like winners because they had low CPCs, strong conversions, and high demand, but the data showed that customers were not coming back. Meanwhile, products like Genius Coffee were more expensive to advertise, but they attracted customers who were more likely to repurchase, move into Subscribe & Save, and increase lifetime value.   Carrie and Jason also discuss how sellers can apply this thinking beyond consumables. Whether you sell supplements, food and beverage, lifestyle products, starter kits, or products with replenishable components, the key is understanding how one purchase can lead to the next. Jason shares practical strategies around Subscribe & Save coupons, AMC audiences, DSP retargeting, cross-selling, virtual bundles, multi-packs, listing optimization, and using tools like Helium 10 to make smarter decisions.   The biggest takeaway from this episode is that real Amazon growth is not just about chasing more sales; it is about building a business that customers keep coming back to. When sellers understand their repeat purchase data, they can stop wasting ad dollars on short-term wins and start building a brand with predictable revenue, stronger customer relationships, and long-term profitability. The brands that win are not always the ones that acquire the cheapest customer, but the ones that acquire the right customer and give them a reason to stay.   In episode 535 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie and Jason discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:52 - Jason McLellan's VitaCup Growth Story 03:05 - Using Cohorts And Product Repeat Rates 04:39 - Applying LTV Strategy Beyond Consumables 06:24 - The Tale Of Three ASINs 09:49 - Why Low CPC Products Can Be Misleading 11:03 - Shifting Ad Spend Toward Repeat Purchases 12:32 - Reaching 30% Subscribe & Save Volume 15:06 - Using Math As Your Amazon North Star 18:20 - Reading Cohort Retention Data 20:35 - Turning Acquisition Into Subscribe & Save 23:18 - Cross-Selling To Existing Customers 24:53 - Virtual Bundles And Multi-Pack Strategy 27:19 - How Helium 10 Helped VitaCup 30:34 - Listing Optimization And Testing 34:27 - Avoiding Multi-Pack Cannibalization

Can a dying Amazon brand come back and double sales without new products? Bradley reveals the PPC, listing, image, and keyword fixes behind both turnarounds in this case study today.

A legacy brand had never sold on Amazon. One launch strategy later, it hit six figures in year one. What made the difference? Here's how…   ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   What does it take to bring a decades-old retail brand onto Amazon and turn it into a six-figure channel in its first year? In this episode, Bradley Sutton welcomes Spencer Gordon, an e-commerce operator who has built Amazon businesses from the ground up, including a premium beverage storefront and, most recently, the Amazon channel for Leanin Tree Greeting Cards. Spencer shares how he went from working in his family's logistics and beverage business to launching Amazon operations for a legacy greeting card company that had never sold on the marketplace before. Instead of randomly uploading products and hoping for the best, he started with proven retail winners, used Helium 10 to identify high-value keywords, and built his launch strategy around branded search, long-tail keyword opportunities, and strong catalog positioning. The episode gets tactical with Spencer's Amazon launch process, including how he uses test listings to check Amazon relevancy before launching a real SKU, why he relies on Amazon Vine for early reviews, and how he structures PPC campaigns for ranking momentum. He also breaks down his use of branded campaigns, product targeting, long-tail exact match keywords, fixed bids, and bid rules that raise or lower bids based on sponsored and organic rank. Bradley and Spencer also dive into listing optimization, especially why the main image can be the difference between winning and losing the click. Spencer shares how AI tools help his team generate image concepts, while Bradley recommends pre-launch audience testing to avoid wasting traffic on weaker creative. The big takeaway? You do not need to be a brand-new startup to win on Amazon. Whether you are launching from scratch or bringing a legacy brand into the modern marketplace, growth comes from testing, learning, adjusting, and taking action before the opportunity passes you by.
