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.

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

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. For more Helium 10 MCP strategies, skills, and advanced seller workflows, follow Bradley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast/ and follow Bradley Sutton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/h10bradley/   TikTok Shop Bans AI Voices From Live Commerce Streams: Violations Now Dent Account Health Score https://www.techtimes.com/articles/320624/20260715/tiktok-shop-bans-ai-voices-live-commerce-streams-violations-now-dent-account-health-score.htm New Data Proves Amazon Keyword Searches Have NOT Been Replaced by Alexa! 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.

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1) CEO Lorna Blaisse and chairman Clive Carver joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's first helium sale from the Galactica project in the US and the next phase at Southern Rukwa in Tanzania. Blaisse described the sale as transformational: "We have now very much moved beyond being a pure explorer and are now an exploration and production company." Multiple wells are tied into the Galactica facility, which is moving towards continuous 24/7 operations, with a short-term offtake agreement in place and longer-term supply discussions ongoing. The joint venture is also assessing opportunities to monetise associated carbon dioxide, alongside plans for additional development wells. At Southern Rukwa, geological modelling is being refined ahead of a next phase focused on fractured basement targets, with potential cluster wells connected to a central processing facility. PVE has been appointed to manage a farm-out process, with several parties already engaged. Carver noted that key catalysts to watch include increased Colorado production, a Southern Rukwa farm-out and potential new project opportunities.

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.

Shutterstock Track 1219389 Monetization ID TFGEPGEI0LHEIJAI Kia ora. Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the Hormuz Strait is effectively shut again with Iran's 'strategy' winning against the US 'firepower'. It is hard to think of any other politician trashing their advantage perceptions so completely. There will be long historical echoes from all this ineffective breast-beating. But elsewhere and locally, this week will bring updates to our migration and travel data, indicators of June retail activity, and early signals of June inflation. We will also get an look at business sentiment, and likely get the June REINZ update. In Australia, they will chime in with their June labour market updates, after updates for consumer and business sentiment. In the US, apart from Trump's wars, investors will turn their attention to the Q2 earnings season, and a steady stream on important economic data that includes their CPI, retail sales and consumer sentiment updates. Fed boss Warsh will be briefing Congress and that will be interesting too, especially about his views on 'reform'. Canada will be reviewing their central bank's policy rate this week, although no change from the 2.25% is anticipated In Japan, it will be about machinery orders and industrial production with eyes also firmly focused on their currency - which will also impact their fast-rising interest rates. In China, it will be a busy week of June economic data releases including for trade, and debt, and highlighted by their Q2-2026 GDP growth rate. Over the weekend, in the fiercely competitive Chinese car market, they reported 2.8 mln vehicle sales in June which was somewhat unexpected because a dip from May was anticipated. But it is a -3% dip from year-ago June sales levels. That pushes their twelve month sales to 33.8 mln units, up from 33.0 mln in the prior equivalent year. Car exports rose above 1 mln units in June, the first time that level has been achieved as it floods global markets. It is storm season in China again, and severe flooding has hit a number of regions, enough to concentrate minds in Beijing. Elsewhere, China has banned the export of helium. Actually, the re-export of helium because it gets most of it from Russia. The Middle East conflict has restricted supply from there, and tech users in Europe and Asia are now in a tough spot, as are medical users everywhere. China is conserving its Russian imports for its own tech industry Japan is reporting that their producer prices rose +7.1% in June from a year ago, accelerating from an upwardly revised +6.6% increase in May and above market expectations of a +6.8% gain. It is the fastest annual increase since March 2023. Higher energy prices following supply chain disruptions linked to the war in Iran are driving this, of course. And Japan's finance minister said they want to steer their state pension funds to "substantially" increase investments in domestic assets. This brought a sharp immediate reaction in both their currency and bond markets, due to the expected size of the shift. The yen gained, or at least it halted its fall, and their bond yields fell sharply (see below). Elsewhere, in the US initial jobless claims rose by +224,500 and about what seasonal factors can account for. There are now 1.767 mln people on these benefits, less than year-ago levels. After the good May rebound, existing home sales in the US fell back to average levels, and to levels lower than a year ago. The median price is up only +1.8% from a year ago. That modest rise is less than income growth, so overall affordability is getting a chance to recover there. On Wall Street, South Korean computer chip maker SK Hynix has raised US$26.5 bln in its New York IPO, the largest ever listing by a foreign firm in the US. SK Hynix is a key supplier to AI chip giant Nvidia. In Canada, their payrolls rose a minor +18,200 in June, slightly better than the expected +10,000, and holding on to the +88,000 gain in May. The June gain was all about a strong rise in the private sector (+32,000) which consolidated the good May private sector rise (+56,000). But most of the net June gain was from part-time employment. These positive shifts in June may have something to do with hiring for the football World Cup events. Global container freight rates rose another +2% last week to be +74% higher than year-ago levels, mostly about outbound freight rates from China to the US where demand is still high. Bulk cargo freight rates pushed higher too. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.56%, unchanged from this time Saturday but up +7 bps for the week. The price of gold has risen to US$4119/oz, up +US$19/oz from Saturday, but down -US$55 from a week ago. Silver is now just under US$60/oz, up +50 USc from Saturday, down -US$2.50 from a week ago. Oil prices are little-changed from Saturday at just on US$71.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just onUS$76/bbl. A week ago these prices were US$68.50 and US$72/bbl. Hormuz transits have dived sharply as the hot conflict explodes again and Iran declaring the Strait 'closed'. There have been just 12 crude or product tankers exiting over the past 24 hours and 5 of those tied to Iran (5 dark with transponders off) but only 9 entering for new loads, again mostly Iran-linked (3 dark). The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday at just over 57.6 USc, up +50 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 82.9 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at just on 50.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 61.5 which is the same as this time Saturday, up +60 bps for the week. The bitcoin price starts today at US$64,084 and up +0.6% from this time Saturday, up +2.9% from a week ago. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just under +/- 0.6%.

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//

China has imposed a temporary ban on helium exports. The gas is widely used in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, optical fiber production, and scientific research.

Nachdem Astronominnen und Astronomen angefangen hatten, sich mithilfe von Teleskopen ein genaueres Bild von Sonne, Mond und Sternen zu machen, stand ihnen im 19. Jahrhundert eine weitere Revolution bevor: die Spektroskopie. Dabei wird das Licht eines Himmelskörpers nicht direkt ins Auge gelenkt, sondern durch ein Spektroskop. Das weiße Sonnenlicht wird so beispielsweise in alle Farben des Regenbogens aufgeteilt, von rot über orange und gelb bis hin zu grün und blau-violett. Doch in diesem Regenbogenspektrum tauchten hunderte von dunklen Linien auf, manche von ihnen pechschwarz, andere eher dünn und blässlich. Wie sich herausstellen sollte, waren diese Absorptionslinien die eigentliche astronomische Revolution. Denn sie verrieten erstmals, welche chemischen Elemente ein Himmelskörper enthält. Mithilfe der Spektroskopie – oder, wie sie später genannt wurde, der Astrophysik – konnten Forschende nicht nur die Bewegung der Himmelskörper beobachten, sondern zum ersten Mal herausfinden, woraus sie bestehen. Es war etwas, von dem Philosophen wie der Franzose Auguste Comte nur wenige Jahre zuvor völlig überzeugt war, dass genau dies ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit sei und für immer bleiben werde. Das Spektrum der Sonne verrät, dass es in der Sonnenatmosphäre Natrium, Kalzium oder Eisen gibt. Denn die Absorptionslinien im Sonnenspektrum entsprechen den Spektrallinien dieser Elemente, die Chemiker in ihren Laboren auf der Erde messen konnten. Die Linien sind wie eine Art Fingerabdruck eines chemischen Elements. Doch als ein englischer Astronom namens Norman Lockyer im Jahr 1870 sein Spektroskop auf die Sonne richtete, entdeckte er etwas ganz und gar Ungewöhnliches: eine Spektrallinie im orange-gelben Bereich, die sich keinem bekannten Element auf der Erde zuordnen ließ. In dieser Folge des AstroGeo-Podcasts erzählt Franzi die Geschichte des himmlischen Heliums: Bis heute ist das Edelgas das einzige Element, das zuerst im Weltraum entdeckt wurde, in der Atmosphäre der Sonne, bevor Jahrzehnte später der Nachweis in einem irdischen Labor gelang. Es ist eine Geschichte, in der totale Sonnenfinsternisse eine große Rolle spielen, Prismen, unerschrockene Astronomen – sowie Heißluftballons und eine waghalsige Flucht aus dem belagerten Paris während des Deutsch-Französischen Kriegs.

"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

On June 22nd, Trump signed two executive orders to win a quantum computing race with China. The mainstream coverage missed something. Quantum computers at scientific scale require Helium-3. Earth's entire annual supply fits in a minivan. The Moon has an estimated one million metric tons of it, and every major space agency is pointed at that surface right now.The executive orders direct the government to build the first scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028 and harden every sensitive federal system against quantum-era cryptographic attacks by 2031. Google's president and IBM's CEO were in the Oval Office for the signing. The framing was a technology race with China. That part is accurate. The part nobody reported is what quantum computers actually need to run at scale, where that material exists in abundance, and why the space race suddenly makes considerably more sense when you know.Two new details emerged this week in the Melissa Casias case. Before she walked out her door on the day she disappeared, she took her toothbrush and her thyroid medication. She left her car, her purse, her keys, and both phones. That is not what someone takes when they are not planning to come back. Her husband has also obtained a protection order against a private investigator harassing the family. Cause of death remains officially undetermined.Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com

What if the next Cold War isn't fought with tanks, missiles, or aircraft carriers—but with quantum computers, artificial intelligence, digital currencies, and resources mined from the Moon?In this explosive episode of On the Record, Christian Briggs examines the growing technological rivalry between the United States and China and explores a disturbing question: What happens if Beijing wins the race for the technologies that will define the twenty-first century? The discussion begins with a stark reality. Throughout history, the nations that mastered the defining technologies of their era ultimately dominated the global order. Britain rode the Industrial Revolution. America led the age of aviation, computing, and nuclear power. Today, a new battle is emerging around artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, quantum computing, critical minerals, and digital infrastructure. The episode explores how quantum computing could eventually shatter modern encryption, allowing future governments to unlock vast archives of communications once thought permanently secure. Intelligence agencies already operate under a chilling principle known as "harvest now, decrypt later," collecting encrypted data today in anticipation of tomorrow's quantum breakthroughs. From there, the conversation moves into the resource war unfolding beneath the headlines. Gold, silver, rare earth elements, lithium, gallium, and other strategic materials are becoming the ammunition of the digital age. China has spent decades building dominant positions across critical supply chains while many Western nations outsourced production in pursuit of efficiency. The most surprising section focuses on China's lunar ambitions. The program examines Helium-3, a rare isotope believed to exist in abundance on the Moon and potentially valuable for advanced scientific and technological applications. Whether or not Helium-3 ultimately fulfills its promise, China's investments in lunar infrastructure, quantum research, AI, and strategic resources reveal a nation thinking decades ahead while much of the West remains focused on short-term political cycles. Finally, Briggs paints a picture of the world in 2035. If China's strategy succeeds, global trade, communications, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and financial systems could become increasingly dependent on Chinese-built platforms and standards. The question is not whether this future is inevitable. The question is whether the United States is moving with enough urgency to ensure it never happens. This episode argues that the battle for global power has already begun—and most people don't even realize they're living through it. 

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.

And it was founded by Nick Farina — a software entrepreneur, not a physicist — who got pulled into the field through a Chicago theater board where he met his future co-founder, then-PhD student Johannes Pollanen.This conversation matters now because EeroQ has had an unusually productive twelve months: a Physical Review X paper demonstrating single-electron control above 1 Kelvin, a January 2026 result on controlling up to a million electrons with fewer than 50 control lines, and — published in Nature Physics on June 15, 2026 — the first demonstration of strong coupling between a microwave photon and a single electron on helium, the cavity-QED readout-and-control link the platform depends on. If you're trying to understand which "second-tier" modalities deserve serious attention — and how a small, capital-light team in Chicago is thinking about scale-first hardware design — this is a useful listen.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by Outshift, Cisco's incubation engine.

An Amazon seller from Singapore reveals how data-backed product research, AI workflows, Cerebro keywords, and a wild 50 auto campaign PPC strategy helped scale Amazon products to seven figures.   ► 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 walk away from a stable career, bet on Amazon FBA, and build a multiple seven-figure business in the Amazon US marketplace from Singapore? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Clarence Cheang of TheFBABros to unpack the mindset, strategy, and data-driven systems that have driven his Amazon journey. Clarence shares how he went from a civil engineer working on Singapore's infrastructure projects to a full-time entrepreneur after setting a clear goal: to make his side hustle outperform his day job income for 6 straight months. Clarence breaks down the product research process that helped him discover one of his breakthrough products: a Japanese egg pan that went on to generate over $1 million in lifetime sales. Instead of blindly chasing trends, he uses a highly analytical process built around 23 data points, competitor keyword weaknesses, and Helium 10 Cerebro research. His approach focuses on finding products where competitors may be making strong revenue but are weak in PPC, keyword ranking, or listing optimization. The conversation also dives into how AI is changing the way sellers research, launch, and scale. Clarence explains how AI can reduce product validation from one or two hours down to just minutes, while still requiring human judgment to verify opportunities. He also shares ideas around AI agents, Helium 10 data, bundling opportunities, and using massive short-form video output to drive external traffic from TikTok to Amazon. One of the biggest “wait, what?” moments comes when Clarence reveals his 50 auto campaign launch strategy. Instead of relying on one auto campaign, he separates match types, identifies what works, and duplicates winning campaigns across different bid levels to let Amazon find converting placements at scale. His message is clear: Amazon is still full of opportunity for sellers who are willing to use data, move fast, test aggressively, and serve customers better than the competition. For any seller wondering if it is too late to start or scale, Clarence's story is a reminder that your next breakthrough may not come from luck — it may come from discipline, research, and the courage to take action before you feel fully ready.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I sit down with Prakash Kamraj, co-founder of DeCharge Network, to explore one of the most overlooked intersections of Web3 and the physical world: EV charging infrastructure. Prakash walks me through how DeCharge is building an Airbnb-style model for EV chargers, where anyone , from a business owner to a crypto community member , can host a charging station and earn passive income from it. We dig into why the B2B market is the real engine of EV growth, how DeCharge keeps the user experience dead simple with a scan-and-pay web app, and why autonomous charging powered by crypto payment rails could be the next massive wave. We also get into the surprising EV adoption stories across India, China, Southeast Asia, Ethiopia, and beyond. Whether you're an EV owner frustrated by fragmented charging apps, a crypto builder looking for real-world use cases, or an investor trying to spot where energy infrastructure is heading, this conversation is packed with sharp thinking and hard-won lessons from the ground up. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Interview with Thomas Abraham-James, President & CEO of Pulsar Helium Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pulsar-helium-tsxvplsr-building-americas-primary-helium-supply-9105Recording date: 8th June 2026Pulsar Helium (TSXV:PLSR) sits at the intersection of a structural commodity supply crisis and an accelerating domestic US critical minerals agenda. The company is developing the Topaz helium project in northern Minnesota, a primary helium resource that does not depend on natural gas production economics, carries an average helium concentration of 8.1% across seven drilled wells, and is now backed by a completed regulatory framework, a major US engineering partner, and production-ready drilling scheduled for September 2026.More than 95% of global supply is produced as a byproduct of natural gas processing, which means output cannot be increased in response to price signals. When a major production node goes offline, the market has no rapid self-correcting mechanism. Two major nodes are now offline simultaneously. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz to container shipping has cut Qatar's export route — Qatar historically supplying approximately 35% of global helium. Russia, contributing a further 10%, has introduced export controls. The combined disruption has removed approximately 45% of global helium supply from the market. The CEO of QatarEnergy has indicated that restoring full production capacity could take three to five years. US customers are already reporting order allocations of 50% of typical volumes, with premiums on top.Against this backdrop, Topaz's geological profile is genuinely differentiated. The project was identified following an accidental discovery during nickel and copper exploration drilling, when a drill hole returned helium concentrations between 10-12% and is among the highest ever recorded. Since listing via IPO in the third quarter of 2023, Pulsar has drilled seven wells across the project area. All seven encountered gas. The current average concentration of 8.1% places Topaz in an entirely different grade regime from conventional byproduct production and makes primary extraction commercially viable as a standalone helium operation.The regulatory picture has materially improved. Minnesota had no prior framework for gas production. In 2024, the state legislated helium as a regulated commodity. In June 2026, the operational regulations were finalised — a process driven substantially by Pulsar's own work at Topaz. The removal of this non-geological risk represents a meaningful de-risking event for the project's development timeline.The confirmation of Helium-3 at Topaz adds a longer-horizon dimension. Helium-3 has applications in quantum computing and fusion research and is currently transferred between US government agencies at approximately US$18.7 million per kilogram. No commercial separation process exists at scale yet, and management has been measured in how it frames characterising Helium-3 as the cherry on top whilst keeping Helium-4 production as the operational priority. That framing is appropriate, but the optionality is real.The risk profile is consistent with a development-stage company. The resource has not yet been independently quantified at full scale. The economic assessment is pending. Production-ready well drilling has not yet commenced. Investors should size positions accordingly. But for those with the risk appetite for early-stage resource exposure, the combination of a 100% drilling success rate, a completed regulatory framework, a confirmed supply crisis with a multi-year recovery horizon, and an engineering partner already at work makes the near-term catalyst pathway unusually clear.View Pulsar Helium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pulsar-heliumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

How did one Amazon brand go from overlooked to $7M? Discover the keyword, SEO, AI, and pricing strategies that helped unlock massive growth.  

Learn how Claude can help Amazon sellers organize workflows, automate tasks, improve keyword research, build smarter systems, and save time in business and life. AI is no longer just a tool for writing quick prompts or brainstorming ideas. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Andrew Bell and Zoe Lu to explore how Amazon sellers can use Claude to organize their business, simplify daily tasks, and create repeatable systems that save serious time. Bradley opens by sharing his own failed attempt at using Claude for a presentation, proving an important point: AI is only as good as the context, instructions, and structure you give it.   Andrew breaks down what makes Claude different from a basic chatbot experience. He explains how Claude Chat, Claude Co-Work, Claude Code, skills, sub-agents, and scheduled tasks can help sellers move from simple conversations to actual workflows. For Amazon sellers, this can mean pulling keyword data, organizing it into Excel, mapping search intent, building product truth cards, judging keyword relevance, and even using Claude to support listing optimization, PPC planning, and product research.   Zoe then brings the conversation back to a beginner-friendly level by explaining how sellers can get started. Her advice is to install the desktop app, use Claude Co-Work, create a “brain” folder with personal and business context, connect the tools you already use, and turn repeated tasks into projects, schedules, dashboards, or skills. From managing calendars and emails to organizing files, creating daily briefs, analyzing customer feedback, or preparing for meetings, Claude becomes more powerful when it understands your goals and connects with your workflow.   The biggest takeaway is that Amazon sellers do not need to become AI experts overnight, but they do need to start building AI into their operations. Claude can help reduce busywork, organize messy information, create smarter processes, and uncover insights faster when used correctly. For sellers who want to stay competitive, the opportunity is not just using AI once in a while, but building repeatable systems that help them work faster, think more clearly, and grow smarter.
