  • #512 - 10 Strategies that Could Mean $10k For Your Brand
    Apr 10 2026

    Do you love the idea of exiting your business after a big payday? Surprisingly, today’s guest made it happen through prioritizing work/life balance.

    What if the next $10,000 in your business is not coming from a new product, but from better use of the tools you already have? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton and Shivali Patel break down 10 practical strategies to help Amazon sellers recover lost profits, improve visibility, and uncover overlooked opportunities in Helium 10. From launch tactics and keyword research to ad optimization and competitor tracking, this episode is packed with ideas sellers can apply right away.

    One of the biggest themes in this episode is that small adjustments can create outsized results. Bradley shares how using Amazon Recommended Rank in Cerebro can reveal whether Amazon actually understands what your product is before a full launch. Shivali shows how a packaging change as small as 0.08 inches can reduce fulfillment fees and add thousands in profit over time. They also explain how sellers can use Helium 10 tools like Keyword Tracker boosts, Search Query Analyzer, and automated competitor insights to stop guessing and start making more informed decisions with their ads, listings, and keyword targeting.

    The episode also highlights how sellers can think beyond Amazon alone. Bradley explains why TikTok Shop is becoming too important to ignore and shows how creators can drive sales both on TikTok and back to Amazon. Shivali then walks through how Listing Builder’s 8-in-1 keyword research workflow and AI-assisted listing creation can help sellers build more strategic, data-backed listings faster. Altogether, the episode makes a strong case that growth does not always require more effort. Sometimes it comes from using the right features the right way.

    The strongest takeaway is simple: strategies do not make money unless you actually implement them. This episode is a reminder that many sellers are already sitting on untapped profit opportunities. Whether it is trimming wasted ad spend, finding new converting keywords, tracking competitors more intelligently, or uncovering hidden product opportunities, the sellers who win are the ones who take action. Pick two strategies from this episode, put them into practice, and you might be surprised how quickly the numbers move.

  • #510 - The Amazon Ads Mistake Costing Sellers Growth
    Apr 3 2026

    What if your lowest ACoS strategy is secretly slowing your growth? Hear why simple ads win, hidden revenue gets missed, and sellers are rethinking Amazon PPC at the Prosper Show live.

    Are you optimizing your Amazon ads for efficiency while accidentally capping your growth? In this live episode from Prosper Show in Las Vegas, Carrie Miller sits down with Destaney Wishon to unpack one of the biggest mindset shifts sellers need to make with PPC: low ACoS does not always mean smart growth. Together, they explore what happens when sellers move from outsourcing their ads to understanding them more deeply themselves, and why that transition can feel both intimidating and empowering. The conversation also ties into Helium 10 Ads Academy’s Outsourced to Optimized series, which was designed to help sellers take more control over their advertising strategy.

    The conversation digs into the real decisions that separate reactive ad management from intentional strategy. Carrie shares the fear many Amazon sellers have of losing control of spend, hurting TACoS, or making the wrong changes too quickly. Destaney explains why focusing on just one KPI can be dangerous, especially when certain high-cost keywords are still essential for organic rank, brand visibility, and long-term momentum. They also break down how tools, bid rules, keyword harvesting, and filtering can help sellers manage campaigns more confidently without spending all day managing their Amazon PPC.

    Another standout takeaway is how many brands are still missing major ad opportunities hiding in plain sight. Carrie and Destaney talk about the value of Sponsored Brands, overlooked campaigns that were quietly driving revenue, and why simple creatives often outperform expensive video productions. They also show how AI tools are making ad testing faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever. To close the episode, Shivali and Carrie share quick Prosper Show conversations with Jeffrey Anderson, Parker Swanson, and Colin Raja, offering fresh perspectives on Amazon PPC mistakes, rising competition, and the operational habits that are helping brands grow faster today.
