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. In episode 510 of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali, Carrie, Destaney, Jeffrey, Parker, and Colin discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:58 - Live From The Prosper Show With Carrie Miller & Destaney Wishon 01:57 - Carrie Miller’s Amazon Seller Story And Helium 10 Journey 04:38 - The Goal Of The Outsourced To Optimized Series 05:34 - The Fear Of Taking Control Of Your Own Ads 06:41 - Why Keyword Context Matters More Than Chasing Low ACOS 08:54 - How Helium 10 Ads Simplifies Optimization 10:45 - The 3 Ways To Manage Amazon Ad Bids 12:32 - The $60,000 Campaigns That Were Accidentally Turned Off 15:14 - Why Simple Ad Creative Can Outperform Expensive Videos 20:12 - Why Outsource To Optimize Worked For Carrie 23:00 - Prosper Show Seller Insights With Jeffrey Anderson, Parker Swanson, And Colin Raja

How do you turn small TikTok creators into big sales? Our guest shares his playbook for building a loyal creator army, getting more posts, and scaling TikTok Shop beyond Amazon. What does it really take to turn small creators into big sales on TikTok Shop? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali Patel sits down with Josh Hadley to unpack the systems, strategies, and mindset shifts that helped him build an affiliate army of more than 5,000 creators. Josh shares how TikTok Shop helped revive his business during a difficult season and why sellers should stop treating creator marketing like a side tactic and start treating it like a real growth engine. A big takeaway from this episode is that success on TikTok Shop does not come from sending random samples and hoping for the best. Josh explains how brands need to get laser-focused on their target audience, identify the right creator profiles, and build outreach systems that actually lead to responses. He walks through how his team finds creators, studies competitors, uses outreach tools, sets commission structures, manually approves samples, and gets creators off-platform to build stronger, long-term relationships. His approach is less about chasing big influencers and more about finding the right smaller creators with strong content potential.   Josh also dives into what most sellers are missing after the first outreach. He explains how creative briefs, email nurture flows, contests, and regular communication help turn one-time creators into loyal brand ambassadors. For Amazon sellers, this episode is especially valuable because it shows how TikTok Shop can complement an existing brand when the right SOPs, systems, and team are already in place. If you have been wondering how to get creators to actually post, how to compete with brands using similar tactics, and how to make TikTok Shop work without abandoning Amazon, this episode offers a detailed, actionable blueprint. In episode 508 of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali and Josh discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - Josh Hadley’s Background And Why TikTok Shop Matters 02:46 - When Amazon Sellers Should Expand To TikTok Shop 06:22 - The Playbook Behind 40 Viral Videos And 5,000 Creators 07:14 - From Business Struggles To A TikTok Shop Breakthrough 11:51 - How To Find The Right Creators And Study Competitors 19:38 - Bots, Targeted Collaborations, And Sample Approval Strategy 24:58 - Why Off-Platform Creator Contact Is Critical 27:28 - Email Nurture, Creative Briefs, And Getting More Creator Posts 28:54 - Commission Rates, Creator Selection, And Why Small Creators Win 36:32 - Fulfillment, Creator Retention, And Long-Term Relationship Building 45:06 - Why TikTok Shop Is Still A Gold Rush For Brands

The update also brings higher promotion costs and stricter pricing rules, including a $100 upfront fee and 1.5% variable fee on Prime Exclusive Discounts, while Bradley highlighted Amazon’s added FAQs sent to Helium 10 to help sellers navigate the changes—clarifying topics like early-submission discounts, how promotional sales are calculated, when fees are charged, how often deal recommendations refresh, whether pricing can be edited, and how coupon activity now affects the 30- and 60-day lowest price requirements.

Want higher Amazon conversions? Shivali and Carrie break down a real listing to reveal image, copy, keyword, and AI optimization strategies sellers can use fast. What separates an average Amazon listing from one that consistently converts? In this Helium 10 Listing Teardown episode, Shivali Patel and Carrie Miller break down a real product listing and show Amazon sellers how to evaluate every part of it with a sharper eye. From the main image to the A+ Content, they explain how small changes in positioning, clarity, and context can make a big difference in click-through rate and conversions. The lesson is clear: every image should communicate one strong idea, and every part of the listing should help shoppers instantly understand the product and why they should buy it. The episode also highlights how sellers can use customer feedback and copywriting strategies to improve conversions. Shivali and Carrie talk through why vague or repetitive messaging weakens a listing, why lifestyle context matters, and how reviews can reveal both your strongest selling points and your biggest conversion blockers. For Amazon sellers, this is one of the most practical takeaways from the episode: if your listing promises machine washability, your packaging, tags, and product details all need to match. Better listings are not just about better keywords. They are about building trust, reducing confusion, and attracting the right buyer. From there, the episode dives into Helium 10’s Listing Analyzer and Listing Builder tools, showing how sellers can compare competitors, find meaningful keyword opportunities, and optimize listings faster using real Amazon data. They cover how to use search query performance, brand analytics, historical keyword data, and AI-assisted writing to create stronger titles and bullets without wasting hours doing manual research. For Amazon sellers looking to improve visibility and conversions in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace, this episode is a useful reminder that better rankings start with better relevance, messaging, and listing strategy. In episode 506 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie and Shivali discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:33 - How This Listing Audit Mindset Can Improve Any Amazon Listing 02:11 - First Impressions Of The Bat Bath Mat Main Images 06:07 - What Product Images Should Communicate To Shoppers 08:42 - Why Lifestyle Images Can Increase Conversions 10:18 - A+ Content Mistakes, Repetition, And Clearer Messaging 14:14 - Using Reviews To Uncover Selling Points And Conversion Issues 17:23 - Improving Titles, Bullets, And Keyword Relevance 25:37 - Rufus, Backend Descriptions, And Listing Context 27:20 - Using Listing Analyzer To Compare Competitor Images 35:15 - How Listing Builder Finds High-Value Keywords Faster 45:00 - Using AI To Write And Refine Amazon Listing Copy 50:17 - Final Takeaways For Optimizing Listings Faster With Helium 10 Enjoy this episode?

What is the new gold standard for optimizing Amazon listings in 2026 for keywords and Amazon AI like Rufus? Discover how to do in seconds what used to take hours. What does it take to build a high-performing Amazon listing in 2026? In this episode, Bradley Sutton breaks down the new gold standard for listing optimization and explains why sellers can no longer rely on keyword stuffing or traditional SEO alone. Today’s best listings need to balance keyword indexing, conversion-focused copy, and AI-ready content that works for tools like Amazon Rufus.   Bradley walks through the full listing optimization process using a real product example, showing how sellers can pull keyword intelligence from multiple sources like Cerebro, historical keyword trends, Amazon’s Search Query Performance, and Amazon Brand Analytics. He explains why this layered approach gives Amazon sellers a much more complete view of what actually drives visibility and sales. For Helium 10 users, the biggest breakthrough is that the new Listing Builder can now combine this process into an 8-in-1 keyword research workflow, turning what used to take hours into something that can be done in seconds.   The episode also highlights how Helium 10’s Listing Builder goes beyond keyword collection. With new AI features, sellers can analyze product images, customize brand voice, use competitor ASINs for style inspiration, prioritize must-win keywords, and generate listings designed for both Amazon search and AI-assisted shopping. Bradley and Andrew also show how Rufus optimization helps sellers answer shopper questions directly inside the listing, including use cases and objections that may never appear in standard keyword research.   If you sell on Amazon and use Helium 10, this episode is a must-watch. It shows how to create listings that are built for the real online shopping environment of 2026, where success means ranking in search, converting shoppers, and giving Amazon AI the context it needs to help close the sale. In episode 504 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Andrew discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 01:20 – Why Listing Optimization Must Balance SEO and AI 05:02 – Using Xray & Cerebro to Find Core Competitor Keywords 09:23 – Why You Must Exclude Variations in Keyword Research 10:18 – Using Historical Keyword Data to Find Past Winners 12:05 – Search Query Performance and the Keywords That Actually Drove Sales 15:18 – Using Brand Analytics to Validate Competitor Converting Keywords 17:45 – Helium 10 Listing Builder’s 8-in-1 Keyword Research Workflow 24:02 – Why Modern Listings Need SEO, GEO, and Rufus Optimization 32:53 – AI Image Analysis, Brand Voice, and 10-Bullet Listing Strategy 37:36 – Enhance With Rufus: Answering Shopper Questions Inside Your Listing 40:00 – Generating the Listing and Prioritizing Top Keywords Automatically 44:18 – Why Rufus Optimization Matters for Conversion in 2026

In this episode, let’s talk about advanced Amazon seller strategies that are discussed only in private. We pull back the curtain on what elite sellers are quietly doing and what you should start testing next. Most sellers focus on the obvious levers, ads, keywords, and pricing, while the real winners quietly play a different game. In this AM/PM episode, Bradley Sutton and 8-figure seller Leo Sgovio unpack the strategies top Amazon sellers rarely say out loud, from backend ranking fixes to AI-driven creative and off-Amazon intel.   Leo breaks down how Amazon browse tree changes can silently wreck rankings, and how to repair it using Category Listing Reports plus the BrowseTree Guide so your attributes match what Amazon actually accepts. Then he shows how some sellers “launch” with huge review counts by consolidating variations and even leveraging international review history. From there, the episode shifts into speed: AI tools to generate better hero images, systems to make your site crawlable for LLMs, and how press releases can help you appear in Google AI Overviews faster than traditional SEO.   Finally, Leo goes outside Amazon: using Reddit for GEO, finding Shopify winners by tracking checkout traffic, and reverse-engineering competitor funnels through the Meta Ad Library and presell pages. He closes with a warning every brand should hear: a black-hat cloaking attack that can suppress your Buy Box. If you want tactics you can apply today and threats you need to defend against tomorrow, this one is a must-listen.
