| #772 - Amazon's New AI Tools + AGL Updates | 03 Nov 2026 | 00:42:41 | |

What would faster inventory replenishment and an AI assistant that handles tasks mean for your Amazon business? Recorded at Amazon Accelerate in Seattle, this episode brings together Amazon Global Logistics leaders Alex Berry and Heather Hunt, followed by Chris Jones from the Seller Assistant team. Bradley Sutton explores how Amazon is simplifying the work behind selling, from moving products across borders to managing everyday business decisions. Alex and Heather explain how AGL reduced end-to-end transit times from China to the U.S. West Coast by about 20% year over year. They also discuss a premium ocean service that cuts China-to-Europe and UK transit times by approximately 11 days compared with standard service. Amazon Managed Placement at Origin simplifies inventory distribution through one booking, while storage at origin can help sellers replenish inventory based on demand. Other announcements include Ship to 3P for deliveries to non-Amazon warehouses, broader support for dangerous goods, and standalone customs brokerage through Amazon Customs and Trade. Online document management and direct access to logistics operators also aim to reduce paperwork and make shipping problems easier to resolve. Next, Chris Jones explains how Seller Assistant is evolving from answering questions to helping sellers take action. Canvas creates customized workspaces around the task a seller needs to complete, bringing together plans for inventory, promotions, and advertising. Workflows let sellers describe tasks for the assistant to handle in the background, with examples including monitoring top-performing ASINs and reviewing return feedback for potential listing improvements. Chris also discusses Amazon Quick and a Seller Assistant plugin for Claude Code, which was in private beta at the time of recording, along with the controls sellers have over sharing data with other systems. Together, these conversations highlight opportunities to spend less time coordinating shipments, searching help pages, and repeating routine tasks. For sellers, the next step is to identify where those activities create the biggest bottlenecks and explore which tools fit their business. Whether that means comparing an AGL shipment with your current freight arrangement or testing Seller Assistant on a practical question, start with one process you can improve and build from there.

What happens when the biggest opportunity for your business requires letting go of another? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Ryan Maya, founder of Beyond Braid and Professor Pickleball, to explore his journey from college dropshipping experiments to building multimillion-dollar ecommerce brands. Ryan explains how his lifelong interest in fishing helped him create marketing that connected with customers after roughly a dozen other stores failed. That foundation eventually became Beyond Braid, which generated $9.1 million last year and is targeting more than $10 million this year across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok Shop. Ryan breaks down how each channel supports the business, with Amazon now accounting for the largest share of revenue. He also shares a candid perspective on TikTok Shop, where advertising costs, affiliate commissions, and fulfillment expenses make profitability challenging. For his business, breaking even can still provide value when it generates millions of product impressions and encourages shoppers to discover the brand elsewhere. Rather than relying exclusively on affiliates, Ryan creates founder content himself, including videos he says have attracted millions of views. He explains why he became an affiliate for his own brands and how he is testing a shift from mass sampling toward deeper investments in proven creators. The conversation also explores how Ryan is using AI to reduce production work and improve efficiency. He describes a Claude Code workflow designed to edit short-form videos, write captions, schedule posts, and tag products after he records the footage. Beyond content, his team is exploring AI applications for email marketing, advertising, and graphic design. Ryan also explains why strong branding matters in established categories, how personal relationships help retain productive affiliates, and why a Shopify business needs optimized landing pages, email flows, and a coordinated marketing strategy. With a majority-stake sale of Professor Pickleball in progress, Ryan plans to concentrate on Beyond Braid’s next chapter. His priorities include expanding the product catalog, exploring international markets, and using a dashboard that tracks profitability by product and channel to guide advertising decisions. His story offers a practical reminder for ecommerce sellers: more activity does not automatically create a stronger business. Understand your customers, know your numbers, and give your best opportunity the focus it needs to grow. In episode 771 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Ryan discuss:

What if you could generate thousands of dollars in additional revenue without launching another product? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Helium 10 affiliate experts Tara Stoll and Kashka Burrowes to uncover an overlooked opportunity that most Amazon and e-commerce sellers aren't taking advantage of: affiliate marketing. Whether you're looking to drive more sales for your existing products or build an entirely new income stream, this episode reveals how affiliate partnerships can open doors to serious earning potential. For Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok Shop sellers, affiliate marketing offers a powerful alternative to traditional advertising. Instead of spending money upfront and hoping for conversions, brands can partner with creators and pay commissions based on actual results. Bradley and his guests break down how to find influencers using Helium 10's Amazon and TikTok influencer discovery tools, approach creators with compelling offers, and build authentic relationships that lead to sales. They also explore affiliate commission structures, performance incentives, and recurring revenue opportunities for businesses offering subscriptions or replenishable products. But here's where things get interesting: some Helium 10 affiliates are earning $30,000 to $35,000 per month! Tara and Kashka reveal how the Helium 10 affiliate program works, including upfront commissions ranging from 100% to 125%, the potential to earn 25% recurring commissions for up to 12 months, and additional monthly content bonuses. You'll learn how sellers, content creators, and e-commerce enthusiasts can turn their existing knowledge and connections into another source of income, even without having a massive social media following. The biggest takeaway? You don't always need another product, a bigger advertising budget, or an entirely new business to increase your revenue. Sometimes the next opportunity is already sitting right in front of you. Whether you're building an affiliate program for your own brand or recommending tools you already use and believe in, this episode challenges you to think beyond traditional e-commerce strategies. Your next big revenue stream might not come from selling more products, but from discovering a smarter way to earn. Interested in becoming a Helium 10 affiliate?

| #768 - Amazon Seller Strategies From the Accelerate Floor | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:36:15 | |
In this episode, we’ll learn how sellers grow million-dollar businesses, use AI to save time, prepare for retail, and lift profits with practical strategies shared live from the floor of Amazon Accelerate. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10?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 growth look like for someone launching their first product compared with sellers running multimillion-dollar businesses? Recorded live on the floor of Amazon Accelerate, this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast brings together seven sellers with different backgrounds, business models, and lessons to share. Bradley Sutton starts with Sky Balukonis, who grew a disposable napkin business from roughly $40,000-$50,000 in first-year sales to a projected $1.4 million annually. Sky explains how disciplined reinvestment, careful cash flow management, and premium positioning helped an everyday product stand out. Danial Khosravi and Nick Karafilov share how they use Claude connected to Helium 10 through MCP to research keywords, improve listing copy, and prepare a data-backed presentation for a Walmart buyer. They also explain how advice from a Helium 10 Elite call with Bradley pushed them to build their Walmart presence, prepare retail-ready packaging, and generate TikTok content. Those efforts helped put them in front of a buyer, with a potential retail agreement still pending at the time of recording. Meanwhile, first-time Amazon seller Todd Gabel discusses launching a windshield sticker-removal film and using AI-assisted research to understand keywords and competitors. Youseong Ha of Neudorff offers a different perspective on product selection, explaining why he moved from skincare into the more challenging gardening and pesticide category. His approach centers on finding unmet customer needs and delivering meaningful product differentiation. Brothers Ben and Josh Garmon then share lessons from a business generating approximately $20-30 million annually through manufacturer partnerships and e-commerce operations. Their focus is profitability, dependable execution, and a roughly even split between FBA and FBM, with merchant fulfillment giving them flexibility to assemble bundles from shared inventory. The episode closes with Sugam Dhal from Amazon’s Middle East global selling team, who discusses expansion opportunities in the UAE and Saudi Arabia and potential incentives for qualifying brands. Across these conversations, the message is clear: growth comes from understanding customers, managing resources carefully, and acting on opportunities with purpose. Whether you are preparing your first listing or managing millions in sales, choose one lesson you can apply now. A stronger product, a smarter workflow, or a better fulfillment strategy could become the foundation for your next stage of growth.

| #767 - Amazon Seller Secrets From China | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:26:52 | |
Explore the white-hat advantages and black-hat tactics used by Chinese Amazon sellers, from rapid product testing and supplier research to manufactured demand, AI imagery, and branding gaps. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10?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 strategies are Chinese Amazon sellers using to compete, and what can sellers elsewhere learn from them? Recorded in Shenzhen, China, Bradley Sutton sits down with experienced Amazon seller and new Helium 10 team member Shawn Su to explore the advantages, tactics, and challenges shaping one of the world’s most competitive e-commerce communities. Shawn shares his journey from two unsuccessful product launches to building two six-figure Amazon brands. He explains how he discovers overlooked opportunities using narrow price filters, minimum search-volume requirements, weak competitor images, and low title density. He also reveals why the ability to test small orders, respond to reviews, modify products, and launch improved versions quickly may be a greater advantage than lower manufacturing costs. The conversation also examines a controversial tactic involving manufactured keyword demand. Some sellers use external traffic to make previously unknown search terms appear popular before launching new FBA listings. Bradley explains why a sudden search-volume spike does not always represent organic demand—and why sellers should investigate where that traffic is coming from before entering the market. From reverse-sourcing products through 1688.com to accessing real-time information through WeChat seller groups, Shawn provides a rare look inside China’s Amazon ecosystem. But speed and sourcing are not everything. Western sellers can still gain an edge through cultural understanding, memorable storytelling, customer relationships, and long-term brand building.

| #766 - From Royalty Checks to Amazon Millions | 21 Sep 2026 | 00:34:39 | |
A handmade Christmas gift became a patented product and a multimillion-dollar Amazon business. Discover the licensing, team-building, and growth strategies behind its success. ► 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 began as a handmade Christmas gift eventually became a patented product, a successful licensing deal, and a multimillion-dollar Amazon brand. Super Blanky founder and CEO Karen Bonnici joins Bradley alongside her nephew and newest intern, Jack Lustig, to share the story behind the wearable blanket. After watching the children play with her original cape-style design, Karen developed its signature pocket sleeves, hand-sewed the first 500 units, and validated the idea through craft shows. Karen later licensed her patents and trademarks to a manufacturer that brought the product into Target with characters such as Jurassic Park and Paw Patrol. Although the arrangement generated approximately $4 million in first-year retail sales, Karen earned only a royalty percentage and had limited control over the brand’s direction. When the licensing business began to decline, she learned e-commerce, sourced her own inventory, and launched Super Blanky on Amazon with two SKUs. The brand generated approximately $75,000 in its first five months, reached $2.2 million in sales last year, and is now projected to more than double that revenue. The conversation also explores Karen’s approach to building a team around complementary strengths. Her creativity and product-development experience are balanced by Jack’s background in data science, economics, and competitive sports. As he learns PPC, inventory management, and Amazon operations, Jack is gaining real-world experience while helping the family business become more data-driven. Karen also discusses simplifying her brand identity, tracking every major business change, investing in education, and keeping essential talent inside the company. With TikTok, Shopify, new products, and an eventual exit on the horizon, Karen is deliberately building Super Blanky with room for its next owner to grow. Her journey proves that an idea does not need to begin with a perfect business plan. It can begin with one thoughtful gift, one problem worth solving, and the courage to keep learning until that small idea becomes something far bigger.

| #765 - She Made $1M Without Selling on Amazon | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:32:32 | |
Kickstarter rejected her product, but she built the same product into a million-dollar brand. Learn how viral videos and founder-led content transformed an overlooked pain point into success. ► 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 failed nursing student, experienced e-commerce marketer, and new mother transforms a personal frustration into a million-dollar brand? In this episode, Bradley Sutton speaks with Kate Bray, founder of Reb Relief, about the unconventional journey that led her from Amazon advertising and agency leadership to creating a product inspired by her postpartum experience. After building and testing her own prototype, Kate posted a seven-second TikTok video that went viral and a second video helped her collect approximately 1,500 email sign-ups before producing a single unit. Her launch nearly collapsed when Kickstarter rejected the product just three days before the campaign was scheduled to begin. Instead of walking away, Kate turned the rejection into a powerful marketing hook and moved the launch to Shopify. Through preorders, a local credit-union loan, and investments from strategic advisors, she raised enough to fund a $60,000 initial purchase order. Despite spending most of her career in the Amazon ecosystem, Kate has yet to launch Reb Relief on Amazon because the brand has remained consistently sold out through Shopify. Kate also reveals the strategies behind the company’s rapid growth. She invested early in a utility patent and professional product development, positioned Reb Relief inside an underserved blue-ocean category, and used the taboo surrounding period pain as a marketing advantage. Founder-led videos continue to outperform traditional user-generated content, while an appearance on *The Drew Barrymore Show* created stronger results when repurposed as credibility-building creative in Meta ads. She also uses Helium 10 to study keyword demand, validate new product ideas, and determine which brand extensions offer the greatest potential. After surpassing $1 million in sales and helping approximately 14,000 customers, Kate is now preparing Reb Relief for its next chapter: brick-and-mortar retail. Her goal is to see the brand carried by major retailers such as Target, CVS, or Walmart and eventually become the defining name in its category. Her story is a reminder that meaningful businesses are not built by avoiding failure; they are built by turning rejection, uncertainty, and overlooked problems into opportunities worth pursuing.

| #764 - TikTok, AI, and a $3M Soap Brand | 07 Sep 2026 | 00:40:14 | |
What do homemade soap, TikTok creators, AI automation, and old-school catalogs have in common?

What does it take to turn a homemade product into a multimillion-dollar brand? In this episode, Bradley Sutton speaks with Joe McCutcheon, founder of Carolina Castile Soap, and Marc Messer from Advanced Bionutritionals. Together, they reveal how product differentiation, creator partnerships, AI-powered systems, and even old-school direct mail can produce remarkable results in today’s e-commerce world. Joe began making soap for his cleaning company before testing it on eBay and eventually launching on Amazon. After years of reinvesting his profits and producing batches from his kitchen and garage, he grew Carolina Castile Soap from $1.8 million last year toward a projected $3 million this year. Joe explains how professional packaging, distinctive scents, Helium 10 research, and a community of TikTok creators helped the brand stand apart. Today, approximately 70% of its revenue comes from Amazon, while TikTok Shop has become both a profitable channel and a source of additional Amazon demand. Marc shares a very different path to growth at Advanced Bionutritionals, a primarily direct-to-consumer company generating between $30 million and $50 million annually. He breaks down the company’s marketing-first product launch process, multichannel profitability analysis, and use of AI to create SOPs, forecast inventory, analyze real-time data, and generate dozens of advertising variations within minutes. He also explains why long-form direct mail still works for the right demographic and why brands need a proven sales message, sufficient cash flow, and patience before testing it. Whether you are making your first product at home or managing tens of millions of dollars across multiple channels, the principles remain the same: understand your customers, create something worth remembering, and build systems that give your best people room to grow. Success rarely comes from following the crowd. It comes from remaining curious, acting on what you learn, and having the courage to build the brand your customers will never want to leave.

Paul Baron returns to the Serious Sellers Podcast to share one of the most candid stories ever featured on the show. After entering e-commerce in 2015, Paul and his wife launched a reusable baby swim diaper on the first-ever Prime Day. Their Amazon brand eventually approached $1 million in annual sales, leading them to turn down a potential exit in hopes of building an even more valuable business. Everything changed when COVID disrupted the swimming industry, and a damaging one-star review accused the company of shipping a used swim diaper through Amazon FBA. The review accumulated hundreds of helpful votes, while listing attacks, incorrect adult-product classifications, rising freight costs, and a delayed container caused the company to miss its peak season. A $500,000 EIDL loan intended to accelerate growth only intensified the financial pressure, eventually leaving Paul and his wife with bankruptcy as their best path forward. Paul also opens up about the emotional consequences of losing the business and the danger of tying an entrepreneur’s identity to revenue, recognition, and public success. With support from his family, friends, and a mental health professional, he began confronting the problems he had avoided and redefining what success meant. That recovery eventually created space for an unexpected new chapter as a TikTok Shop creator. After earning only $3 during his first three months, Paul learned how to combine powerful hooks, clear product keywords, compelling scripts, and consistent content. His commissions eventually reached approximately $28,000 in one month, with one day generating around $8,000. Now known as @realdadreviews on TikTok, Paul proves that losing one business does not mean losing your future. Sometimes the end of one dream becomes the beginning of a stronger, healthier, and more meaningful one. In episode 763 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Paul discuss:

What happens when a decades-old industrial business starts treating Amazon like a serious growth channel? 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.

| #761 - The E-Commerce Brand Doing $10M a Month | 17 Aug 2026 | 00:30:17 | |
How did an Amazon seller help scale a brand from $1M to over $10M a month? Learn the Shopify, Meta, Amazon PPC, creative, and product launch strategies behind the explosive growth worldwide.

What does it take to go from building a steady Amazon business to helping scale a brand past $10 million in a single month? In this episode, Bradley Sutton travels to Tallinn, Estonia to catch up with Ranno Tasane, the entrepreneur behind Jungle Powders and a partner in Spot Minders. Ranno shares how his journey started with print-on-demand before moving into Amazon FBA, where Jungle Powders eventually grew into a multimillion-dollar brand despite expensive sourcing and increasing competition. But the biggest story is Spot Minders. The Apple Find My-certified tracking brand began on Shopify before Ranno joined the team to lead the Amazon side of the business. One of the biggest factors behind its explosive growth has been speed and creative volume. The team produces around 150 unique creatives every week, then tests multiple hooks and angles for each one—resulting in roughly 600 to 700 ad uploads per week. That relentless testing helped the company go from its first $1 million month to its first $10+ million month roughly a year later. Ranno also breaks down how Shopify, Meta, and Amazon work together instead of competing against each other. Globally, Shopify accounts for the majority of Spot Minders' sales, while the demand generated through Meta advertising creates spillover traffic and branded searches on Amazon. Their Amazon strategy includes aggressively defending branded keywords, bidding heavily on major terms such as wallet trackers, and sometimes accepting break-even or even unprofitable PPC when winning the placement benefits the larger business. New products are also launched on Shopify first and typically tested for two to three months before inventory is sent to Amazon. Perhaps the biggest lesson from Ranno's journey isn't a specific PPC tactic or advertising hack—it's the mindset behind the growth. He credits much of Spot Minders' success to working with partners who think just as big, or bigger, than he does. After reaching $1 million a month, the team's response wasn't to celebrate the finish line; it was to start talking about $10 million, then $30 million or $40 million. For Amazon sellers who have spent years mastering the marketplace, this episode is a reminder that the next level of growth may come from looking beyond Amazon, testing faster, surrounding yourself with ambitious people, and refusing to put an artificial ceiling on what's possible. In episode 761 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Ranno discuss:

| #760 - Taking a $500M Brand to Amazon | 10 Aug 2026 | 00:34:40 | |
How does a brand sell car-sized orders online? Discover the omnichannel, Amazon, AI, and customer acquisition strategies behind hundreds of millions in e-commerce sales. ► 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 sell hundreds of millions of dollars online, and what happens when the average customer order can cost as much as a car? In this episode, Bradley Sutton catches up with Alvaro Lopez, SVP of Marketing at Flooret, in Switzerland to unpack his journey from studying international relations to becoming an experienced e-commerce operator. Along the way, Alvaro built and exited his own Amazon business, helped scale Solo Stove and its sister brands across international marketplaces, and managed an Amazon portfolio that grew to nearly $65 million in annual sales. 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.

| #759 - Amazon Exit Turned Into a $600K Nightmare | 03 Aug 2026 | 00:37:07 | |

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.

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.

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.

| #756 - Million $ Amazon Business Without Selling In The US? | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:32:59 | |
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.

What happens when an Amazon seller goes from nearly hitting $10 million in annual sales to almost starting from zero? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes back Swapneel Jain, an e-commerce entrepreneur from India who built a multimillion-dollar Amazon business, lost access to key accounts and brands, and then found a way to rebuild back to seven figures. Swapneel’s journey started long before his Amazon success. While studying law in New Delhi, he was already selling online on eBay and other Indian marketplaces, sourcing products such as memory cards and pen drives from suppliers in China. What began as a small arbitrage side hustle eventually grew into a serious business, helping him pay for school and fund his lifestyle. Later, he expanded into Amazon private label, took some painful early losses, and eventually launched products during COVID that helped him scale into the millions. But the real turning point came when a brand registry issue spiraled into a major Amazon nightmare. After trying to help a friend with a listing issue, Swapneel’s accounts were flagged for brand abuse, resulting in him losing access to multiple brands. Then, a separate inauthentic complaint tied to reselling Logitech products led to more suspensions across connected accounts. By early 2025, he had lost aged Amazon accounts, major sales momentum, and nearly $700,000 in inventory he could not remove. Instead of letting that be the end of his story, Swapneel started again. He rebuilt with greater diversification, less risk tied to a single person or structure, and a sharper focus on inventory management, supplier relationships, and products with longer life cycles. His message to sellers is simple but powerful: setbacks are not the end unless you stop moving. The faster you decide to restart, the faster you give yourself a chance to win again.

In this solo episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton pulls back the curtain on two real Amazon accounts he is actively managing, including one former seven-figure brand that nearly collapsed after losing its TikTok momentum and another account that doubled year over year without even launching new products. Bradley breaks down how the struggling brand went from relying heavily on TikTok-driven sales to rebuilding Amazon as a channel that could stand on its own. He walks through the exact levers he focused on first: auditing PPC waste, negative matching search terms with clicks but no sales, splitting overloaded campaigns, setting keyword harvesting rules, tightening bid automation, using dayparting, and finding old keyword winners through Search Query Performance and Brand Analytics. He also shares how listing optimization played a major role in both case studies. From testing main images with Helium 10 Audience powered by PickFu to refreshing A+ content and improving keyword coverage, Bradley shows why small improvements in click-through rate and conversion rate can create major revenue gains. In one account, a conversion rate lift of just over 1% helped generate thousands of dollars in additional sales. This episode is a reminder that growth does not always come from one flashy hack. Sometimes, it comes from patiently fixing the fundamentals: better ads, stronger images, smarter keyword targeting, cleaner campaigns, and a listing that actually helps customers understand why they should buy. Whether your brand is struggling, stuck, or ready for its next level, this is proof that the right data-backed moves can change the trajectory. The comeback may not happen overnight, but with the right strategy, your Amazon brand might have a lot more life left in it than you think.

| #753 - The 6-Figure Amazon Launch Sprint | 22 Jun 2026 | 00:39:26 | |

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.

| #752 - This PPC Launch Strategy Blew My Mind | 15 Jun 2026 | 00:40:47 | |

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.

In this episode, Bradley Sutton welcomes back Rolando Rosas, a seven-figure seller with 25 years of online selling experience, to talk about the less glamorous but absolutely critical side of running a long-term Amazon business: operations, inventory, cash flow, shipping, and knowing your numbers. Rolando shares how his e-commerce journey began in 2002, after the tech bubble burst, with his own website and Google AdWords, before expanding to Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and other channels. Today, Amazon makes up the majority of his revenue, but he explains why sellers should not rely on one growth lever alone. As markets shift, especially in B2B and IT-related categories, sellers need to pay close attention to profitability and not just top-line sales. One of the biggest lessons from the episode is that great marketing cannot save weak operations. Rolando breaks down why inventory mismanagement can sink even large companies, how MFN (Multi-channel Fulfillment) can help certain sellers reduce cash flow pressure, and why treating shipping as a shared cost rather than a simple expense can add meaningful profit back into the business. He also explains how sellers should approach price increases by understanding margins, fees, categories, and customer behavior. The episode also dives into practical AI workflows for e-commerce sellers. Rolando explains why sellers should not let AI handle messy data from start to finish, and instead should feed it clean, structured reports for more reliable analysis. From turning screenshots into spreadsheets to using AI to summarize business data, his message is clear: AI can save time, but only when paired with smart systems and human judgment. The big takeaway? Stay curious, think bigger, and keep looking for the hidden levers that can protect your profit. In episode 751 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Rolando discuss:

Wait! Before you dive in… this is part 2 of a 2-part series, so don’t be that person who starts a movie halfway through and asks what’s going on. Go watch/listen to part 1 on the AM/PM Podcast first, where Bradley breaks down the AI and product research strategies that set up this Maldives Honeymoon launch strategy: https://h10.me/am526 In this special episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton returns to the Maldives for episode 750 and breaks down his latest “Maldives Honeymoon” launch strategy. This time, he shares the exact tactics he recently tested to get new products to page one for multiple keywords in less than five days. From keyword research to listing optimization, this episode is packed with launch strategies for Amazon sellers who want to give their products the strongest possible start. Bradley explains why a successful launch begins before PPC campaigns ever go live. Sellers need to study competitor reviews, analyze TikTok Shop reviews, look at Rufus questions (Quick note: Rufus is now rebranded as Alexa for Shopping), and understand what kind of images are working in their niche. He also walks through several ways to build a stronger keyword list, including Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, historical keyword research, opportunity keywords, competitor PPC data, Etsy keywords, frequently bought together products, and Spanish-language keyword indexing. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the importance of testing Amazon’s understanding of your product before launch. Bradley shares how Amazon initially misunderstood two new products he launched, which caused poor impressions and weak Rufus visibility. By sending relevancy signals and checking Amazon Recommended Rank keywords, he helped Amazon better understand the products, leading to a major increase in PPC impressions and faster keyword rankings.
Bradley also covers launch execution, including how to choose keywords you have the “right to win,” set up exact match launch campaigns, use discounts strategically, monitor CPR numbers, activate alerts, and drive outside traffic through TikTok Shop creators. But the episode ends with a powerful personal reminder: while business growth matters, entrepreneurs should not lose sight of family and time. The strongest launch strategy may help you win on Amazon, but the strongest life strategy is making sure you do not miss the moments you can never get back. Serious Sellers Podcast Episode 750

In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes Andrew Bell to talk about the real Amazon operator experience behind his AI and listing optimization expertise. Andrew shares his journey from growing up in small-town Indiana and studying ancient Greek and preaching to eventually diving deep into business, SEO, Amazon strategy, and AI-powered workflows. Andrew breaks down how he helped Touch of Class, a niche home decor brand, grow from around $100,000 annually on Amazon to $7 million per year. He explains how he used Freedom Ticket, Helium 10 tools, keyword research, listing optimization, FBA, competitor tracking, and category-level keyword lists to turn thousands of niche products into a much stronger Amazon catalog. He also shares how the Amazon Brand Store became a major growth driver, with around $1 million in sales coming through store activity after treating it like an SEO page that could rank on Google. Bradley and Andrew also dive into the relationship between Amazon SEO, PPC, and Rufus, now Alexa for Shopping. Andrew explains why keywords still matter, but sellers also need to optimize for customer intent, use cases, benefits, pricing transparency, and the questions shoppers are asking. He believes Rufus and traditional Amazon search are connected, meaning sellers should not ignore either side when building listings. The episode closes with practical AI strategies sellers can use now, including using ChatGPT or Claude to organize Helium 10 keyword lists by intent, structure PPC campaigns, and analyze search term reports. For Amazon sellers trying to future-proof their listings, this episode is a reminder that growth comes from combining strong fundamentals with new AI-driven workflows.

| #748 - 7-Figure Amazon Strategies From Eastern Europe | 18 May 2026 | 00:40:26 | |
Seven-figure Amazon sellers from Bulgaria and Romania reveal EU marketplace strategies, Prime Day tactics, ranking tips, Rufus optimization, and how they built brands across Amazon marketplaces. ► 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 build a seven-figure Amazon business from Eastern Europe? In this episode, Bradley Sutton travels to Sofia, Bulgaria, to speak with experienced sellers from Bulgaria and Romania who have built successful brands across Amazon Europe and the U.S. marketplace. From workwear and cosmetics to pet supplements and ranking services, these sellers share how they found opportunities, scaled their businesses, and adapted as Amazon continued to evolve. The first story follows Iliyan Ivanov, a seller who started in advertising and eventually turned local workwear demand into a multi-million-euro Amazon brand. He explains how starting early in Amazon Europe gave his listings maturity, how Germany became his top marketplace, and how keyword research helped uncover unexpected seasonal demand around Germany’s carnival season. He also shares how tools like Cerebro and Managed Refund Services helped his team with listing strategy, keyword targeting, and recovering money from Amazon reimbursement opportunities. Next, Bradley talks with another Bulgarian seller, Milcho Vasilkov, who used product research to enter categories he was not personally connected to, including maternity products, cosmetics, grocery, and pet supplements. His story highlights why sellers do not always need to be passionate users of their own products to succeed. Instead, he focuses on demand, customer behavior, marketplace fit, and smart inventory timing. He also shares Prime Day strategies for Europe, including building keyword position ahead of major events, using account managers for top deals, and extending promotional momentum after Prime Day. The final guest brings a Romanian seller, Marcel Marculescu’s perspective on selling in the U.S. marketplace, and how Amazon ranking has changed over the years. After early product failures, he built a seven-figure Amazon business and now focuses on more sustainable launch and ranking strategies. He discusses using Vine, PPC, external traffic signals, keyword research, and Rufus optimization to help listings perform in today’s Amazon ecosystem. The episode closes with a powerful reminder for sellers: success does not come from a single hack or a single marketplace, but from adapting early, watching the data, and building strategies that can survive the next Amazon change.

In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with three entrepreneurs at the Ecomm Mastery AI event in Nashville to unpack very different paths to e-commerce growth. From a toy brand built around functional products for kids, to a niche supplement company scaling through Amazon and TikTok Shop, to a lawn and garden brand navigating Vendor Central, 3P selling, Walmart, and AI-driven advertising, this conversation covers a wide range of seller experiences. First, we hear how one founder combined an engineering background from MIT, toy industry experience, and digital marketing skills to build the kids’ toy brand Quiggly that hit $850,000 in its first full year. Her hero product, a functional toy spray mop, came from identifying long-tail keyword demand around Montessori-style toys and creating a standalone product customers were already searching for. Her biggest lesson: product-market fit matters more than launching a wide product catalog. Next, Bradley talks with a supplement brand owner who has been selling on Amazon since 2016 and later saw major growth through TikTok Shop. He shares how niching down, solving the customer’s “next problem,” and building AI-focused content systems helped drive traffic from LLMs and answer engines. From schema markup to press releases, Reddit research, and modular blog content, his strategy shows how brands can start preparing for the future of search. Finally, we hear from an experienced e-commerce director managing large lawn and garden brands across Vendor Central, Amazon advertising, and Walmart. She breaks down the operational differences between 1P and 3P, how Born to Run works, why content contributions can be difficult for brands, and how tools like Pacvue, Amazon Performance Plus, Brand Plus, and Claude are helping her team improve advertising and listing optimization. The episode closes with a clear reminder: whether you’re launching your first product or managing millions in revenue, success comes from understanding your customer, validating demand, and adapting quickly to new tools and platforms.

| #746- TikTok Live, Shopify, & Reddit Playbook for Amazon Brands | 05 May 2026 | 00:44:16 | |
In this episode, our guest shares how his men’s underwear company grew to 8-figures using Amazon, TikTok Live, Shopify, Reddit, product drops, and a customer-driven brand strategy. ► 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, Bradley Sutton sits down with Jared Mortensen, founder of Real Men Apparel Company. Jared’s journey is anything but traditional. After growing up in a small town in Southern Utah, spending 20 years in aerospace, and later helping scale an e-commerce pet product company, he made an unexpected leap into men’s underwear. What started as a niche product idea became an eight-figure brand built around solving an underserved problem in men’s apparel: better fit, comfort, and size inclusivity. Jared shares how he used research, Amazon reviews, and Helium 10 tools to identify a specific customer pain point and launch into a highly competitive category dominated by billion-dollar brands. Instead of immediately competing for broad keywords like “men’s underwear,” he focused on long-tail keywords, underserved customer segments, and highly specific product benefits. Real Men Apparel Company hit $1 million in sales within its first calendar year, eventually growing to $8.5 million in 2025 across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok. Jared also explains how a 40% return customer rate, strong branded search, and memorable branding helped the company gain momentum in a crowded market. A major focus of the episode is Jared’s unique TikTok Live, Shopify, and Reddit strategy. TikTok Live began as a necessity during a serious cash crunch in late 2023, but it quickly became one of the brand’s most powerful growth engines. Jared explains how going live with just an iPhone, ring lights, and a simple setup helped save the business, generate fast cash flow, and create a major halo effect on Amazon and Shopify. He also shares how the brand uses TikTok content across Meta, builds email and SMS lists, works with over 2,000 affiliates, and uses live streams to build a loyal community where customers interact directly with the founder and even influence future products. Jared also breaks down how his Reddit strategy has become a long-term brand-building and AI search play. Rather than creating a subreddit focused solely on his own brand, he built a broader men’s underwear review community where customers, competitors, and shoppers can discuss products openly. He explains how this transparency builds credibility, drives high-intent traffic to Shopify, and helps position the brand in conversations that may influence future AI recommendations. The episode closes with Jared’s plans to grow from $11 million to $12 million in annual sales, expand Shopify, continue weekly limited-product drops, and deepen supplier relationships. For Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Shopify sellers, Jared’s story is a reminder that, even in a crowded category, the right niche, product, community, and content engine can create a brand customers keep coming back to.

| #745 - Their 8-Figure Amazon & TikTok Shop Brand | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:45:15 | |
A husband-and-wife team shares how they survived crushing setbacks, pivoted beyond Amazon, and built a $20 million brand with smart product pivots, TikTok Shop, and resilience. ► 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 look like to go from barely being able to pay the bills to building a $20 million business? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Josh and Becca Hadley, the husband-and-wife team behind Hadley Designs, to unpack the journey from side hustle beginnings to a multi-eight-figure brand. Their story starts with custom wedding invitations, a few early Amazon experiments, and a whole lot of late nights spent building together after work. Josh and Becca explain how their different strengths helped shape the business from day one. Becca brought the creative talent, teaching herself graphic design and designing every product herself, while Josh brought the entrepreneurial drive and business strategy. Their first real breakthrough came when they turned their invitation design experience into physical products, launching recipe cards on Amazon and quickly realizing they had something much bigger than a small side project. But their path was anything but smooth. When COVID hit, their party-focused business dried up almost overnight, forcing them into a painful but necessary pivot. That shift led them into the early education space, where a new line of preschool posters completely changed the trajectory of their brand. Then, years later, another financial crunch pushed them to rethink growth again, leading them to TikTok Shop, where they found success by building real relationships with creators instead of chasing one-off influencer posts. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and long-term thinking. Josh and Becca prove that growth does not come from avoiding hard seasons, but from responding to them with creativity, focus, and action. Whether you are trying to survive your next setback or scale beyond Amazon, this conversation shows that the biggest breakthroughs often come right after the moments when quitting feels easiest.

| #744 - The Truth About Competing With Chinese Sellers | 20 Apr 2026 | 00:31:24 | |
A seller in an unexpected niche and a Chinese entrepreneur who once farmed in Africa reveal how Chinese Amazon sellers think, launch products, build brands, and compete today. ► 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, Bradley Sutton sits down with two China-based Amazon sellers whose stories are anything but ordinary. Freeman Cui is a Helium 10 employee and seven-figure seller who first saw Amazon’s potential while working around the bondage products niche, while Yohan’s path to e-commerce began after farming in Namibia. Their backgrounds are unusual, but the lessons they share are highly relevant for any seller trying to understand the global Amazon landscape. Freeman gives listeners an inside look at how many Chinese sellers really operate today. He openly discusses the reputation Chinese sellers have for black hat tactics, but explains that the environment is changing fast. Account crackdowns, tax pressure, and a more mature Amazon marketplace are forcing more sellers to think long-term. He also breaks down how he built a seven-figure business while working a full-time job, leaning on diversification, smart keyword targeting, and careful ad spend instead of trying to chase only the biggest keywords. Yohan brings a completely different perspective. After years in Africa working first as a translator and then as a farmer, he returned to China in 2020 and got pulled into e-commerce by the freedom it offered. He shares how he helped grow the Bont brand, why roller skate wheels became a winning product, and how he approaches launches today through a mix of Amazon PPC, website traffic, and social media promotion. Like Freeman, he stresses that long-term brand building matters far more than shortcuts. What makes this episode stand out is how both guests flip the usual narrative. Instead of only talking about why Western sellers fear Chinese competition, they explain what Chinese sellers admire about US and European brands: better storytelling, stronger marketing, and deeper customer understanding. The message is clear: the future belongs to sellers who build real brands, know their audience, and play the long game. This episode is a reminder that strategy, not stereotypes, is what wins on Amazon. In episode 744 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Freeman, and Yohan discuss:

| #743 - From Childhood Friends To An 8-Figure Amazon Matcha Brand | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:41:22 | |
How do you turn a niche product into an 8-figure Amazon brand? The founders of Naoki Matcha share the branding, keyword, and supply chain decisions that helped them scale worldwide. :moneybag: Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► 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 look like when two childhood friends turn a side hustle into an eight-figure global brand? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Samuel Loo and Singchuen Chiam, the co-founders of Naoki Matcha, to unpack how they went from selling generic glass teapots to building one of the most recognizable matcha brands on Amazon. Their story starts in Singapore, stretches into Japan’s tea-producing regions, and becomes a masterclass in patience, product-market fit, and long-term brand building. Sam and Sing did not stumble into success overnight. Their first products were fragile, generic, and easy to copy, forcing them to rethink the kind of business they really wanted to build. That search led them to matcha, a category with higher barriers to entry and far greater complexity than a typical private-label product. Instead of sourcing from a marketplace and calling it a day, they had to knock on digital doors, travel to Japan, build supplier relationships, refine taste profiles, and learn how to create a product customers would come back for again and again. Their growth was slow at first, but their commitment to quality and feedback gave them a durable edge. As the brand grew, so did its sophistication. They expanded from Amazon into other marketplaces, built teams across Singapore and Japan, invested heavily in in-house creative, and began thinking beyond Amazon PPC into upper-funnel channels like Meta, DSPs, and TikTok. They also shared how Naoki Matcha navigated the recent matcha shortage without major price hikes, using strong supplier relationships and careful supply chain planning to stay in stock while competitors struggled. It is a reminder that real brand power is not just built through ads and listings, but through trust, consistency, and operational depth. This episode is a powerful example of what can happen when founders play the long game. Sam and Sing did not chase shortcuts. They built slowly, learned deeply, and stayed obsessed with product quality as they scaled into an eight-figure business. For sellers who want to move beyond quick wins and build something that lasts, this conversation shows that the biggest advantage is not speed. It is discipline, vision, and the willingness to keep improving long after the first sale. In episode 743 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Sam, and Sing discuss:

| #742 - An 8-Figure Amazon Seller From China Tells All | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:26:15 | |
An 8-figure seller in China reveals what US sellers get wrong about Chinese competition, black-hat tactics, global expansion, and the data-driven moves behind his Amazon 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 What is really happening behind the scenes with top Chinese Amazon sellers? In this episode, Bradley travels to Shenzhen, China, to sit down with Bennett, an eight-figure seller who shares a rare inside look at how serious Amazon sellers in China are building and scaling brands. Helping guide the conversation is Freeman Cui from Helium 10’s Shenzhen office, who serves as Bennett’s translator throughout the interview. From launching his first cleaning product in 2017 to growing one brand to $15 million in annual sales, Bennett breaks down the mindset, systems, and strategies behind his success. One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation is Bennett’s take on black hat tactics. He confirms that those tactics still exist but says Amazon is making it harder for bad actors to survive in the long term. His belief is that the future belongs to compliant sellers who focus on quality products, strong branding, and long-term stability. That alone makes this episode a must-listen for sellers who assume all Chinese competitors play the same game. Bennett also opens up about how his team uses data to make smarter decisions across product research, market expansion, keyword strategy, and advertising. He shares how Helium 10 tools like Market Tracker 360, Search Query Analyzer, Cerebro, and Helium 10 Ads help his team spot trends, avoid bad opportunities, optimize PPC, and launch products with more precision. He also walks through how they research trends from Amazon, Etsy, customer feedback, and even physical retail stores. This episode is packed with practical insights on global expansion, AI-driven advertising, and product launches, but it also gives listeners something more valuable: perspective. Bennett explains why Brazil could be one of the biggest untapped Amazon opportunities, why patience is one of his company’s unfair advantages, and why his team is aiming to grow from $15 million to $50 million in the coming years. If you want to understand how elite Chinese sellers actually think, this episode pulls back the curtain. In episode 742 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Bennett, and Freeman discuss:

| #741 - Building Amazon Brands And Buying More Of Them | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:35:36 | |
A law student launched painter’s tape on Amazon, built a mid-7-figure business, bought another brand, and found a surprise TikTok Shop shortcut he almost paid extra for. ► 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, Bradley Sutton sits down in Long Island City with Shaff Qureshi, a New York-born entrepreneur who built a mid-seven-figure Amazon business after launching with something as simple as painter’s tape. What started as a side hustle during law school quickly became a serious business, even though his immigrant parents initially hoped he would follow a more traditional career path. Shaff shares how he discovered Amazon through a friend connected to a retail business, saw the opportunity early, and jumped in while still in school. The conversation follows his progression from that first painter’s tape launch in 2019 to building multiple brands, including his planner and journal brand, Insight. He explains why he stayed focused on growing in the U.S. instead of expanding internationally too soon, and how that discipline helped him keep scaling year after year. Shaff also talks about recently acquiring part of a larger educational poster brand, revealing that his long-term vision is not just to sell products, but to build a portfolio of household brands. A major highlight of the episode is Shaff’s detailed breakdown of how he launches and grows products. He discusses using auto campaigns aggressively at launch, driving outside traffic from Google, Meta, and email, and relying on keyword rankings as the core success metric for his team. He also explains how Helium 10 tools like Search Query Analyzer, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads help his business track market size, measure ranking retention, and identify which ad types are actually driving efficient results. Shaff also shares lessons from both painful losses and unexpected wins. He talks about taking on a large loan for a product expansion that underperformed, and how that failure forced him to improve his systems and decision-making. On the other hand, one supplier mistake accidentally created a product variation customers loved, which became a breakout success. The episode also touches on his TikTok Shop expansion plans, including how Helium 10 Diamond saved him from adding more software subscriptions by already including influencer outreach tools he was about to pay extra for.

| #740 - From Face Masks To 7-Figure Fashion Brand Success | 24 Mar 2026 | 00:34:45 | |

She started selling stylish face masks on Amazon and Etsy during the pandemic, quickly gaining traction as demand surged. That early success gave her the confidence to pursue entrepreneurship full-time and showed her what was possible when she combined market timing with fast execution. When the face mask boom faded, Shanshan had to reinvent the business. She pivoted into women’s clothing accessories, especially tights and stockings, and used a volume-based launch strategy to find winning products. Instead of betting everything on one item, she launched multiple products at once, knowing only a percentage would succeed. That approach helped her grow Millennials in Motion into a high six-figure brand that is now on track for seven figures. Throughout the episode, Shan Shan explains how Helium 10 became central to her growth. She used Helium 10 tools like Cerebro, Keyword Tracker, Search Query Analyzer, Profits, and Ads to research products, track rankings, monitor profitability, and automate PPC decisions across more than 100 SKUs. She also shares how she manages a highly seasonal catalog, controls cash flow, and makes launch decisions with lean budgets. Another major theme is speed through AI. Shan Shan talks about using AI tools like Nano Banana to improve listing images and boost click-through rates, while also using ChatGPT to help create optimized listings at scale. Her story is a strong example of how sellers can adapt when markets change, use data to reduce risk, and build a real brand by staying flexible and moving quickly!

| #739 - Two Dubai Ecommerce Seller Success Stories | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:30:09 | |

Abdallah Hesham shares how he went from two failed Amazon products and thousands of dollars in losses to building a seven-figure brand inspired by Project X strategies. He explains how shifting away from basic low-review product hunting and toward deeper niche research, smarter validation, and stronger differentiation completely changed his results. Abdallah also breaks down the tactical side of his success, including how better listing images transformed a struggling product, why he believes sellers should chase winning categories instead of just winning products, and how he uses Helium 10 tools like Magnet, Cerebro, Index Checker, Keyword Tracker, and Listing Optimizer. He also shares a smart relaunch strategy for products coming back in stock, using pricing, coupons, exact-match campaigns, and lightning deals to rebuild momentum and recover rankings. Later, Bradley talks with Rashi Dewan, founder of Nothing Silly, a Dubai-based clean snack bar brand made with natural ingredients and no refined sugar, palm oil, or preservatives. Rashi shares how a personal passion for healthier eating turned into a business opportunity after she struggled to find truly clean snack bars on store shelves. From slow first-month sales on Shopify to steady growth on Amazon UAE and a new retail placement, her story highlights the power of conviction, branding, and persistence. Together, both guests show that whether you are building an Amazon brand or launching a food product from scratch, long-term success comes from spotting real demand, staying resilient through setbacks, and actually putting smart strategies into action. This episode is a reminder that success rarely starts with instant wins. Sometimes it begins with failed launches, slow first sales, tough lessons, and the willingness to keep refining. Whether you connect more with Abdallah Hesham’s Amazon comeback or Rashi Dewan’s passion-driven product journey, the takeaway is the same: real growth happens when you stop chasing shortcuts, trust the process, and execute with purpose.

After the post-pandemic market shift disrupted his B2B world, he made a bold move into selling direct on Amazon. His edge was clear from day one: sustainable materials, verifiable certifications, and total control over quality. Instead of launching what his factory could make, Isa used Helium 10 data to decide what his factory should make. With tools like Black Box, Cerebro, and Magnet, he identified a long-term gap in premium, sustainable blankets. That research led him into a surprising niche as well: certified organic blankets. The result was fast traction, including multiple products ranking strongly in Germany and climbing in the US. Isa shares that 2025 gross sales hit about $1.5M across Europe and the US, with plans to push toward $3M in 2026 and a longer-term goal of $5M. At the same time, he wants to keep the brand positioned as premium and controlled growth, based on production capacity and design standards. He is also expanding beyond Amazon into marketplaces like Otto in Germany, as well as Walmart, Wayfair, and eBay in the US. The episode does not dodge the challenges. Storage and fulfillment fees became an expensive lesson in 2025. Isa explains how switching to AWD in the US, keeping a backup 3PL option, and moving into Pan-EU with additional VAT registrations reshaped his 2026 strategy. He also credits packaging and presentation as key differentiators, treating the unboxing like a premium experience and building listings that balance compliance with strong visuals.

One through iconic local products and duty-free dominance, the other through acquiring and scaling an Amazon-first brand across markets. First up is Rami Rabia of Al Nassma Chocolates, a Dubai chocolate pioneer known for camel milk chocolate and giftable products. Rami breaks down the region’s offline-heavy reality (with duty-free as a major growth engine), why COVID forced rapid channel diversification, and how Amazon UAE’s cold-chain logistics solved the biggest hurdle in selling chocolate online: heat and product sensitivity. He also shares how he uses Helium 10 to track seasonal search behavior tied to Dubai’s nonstop calendar of holidays and gifting moments, plus his interest in TikTok Shop once it launches locally. Then Aslam Yousuf, founder of S2C, explains how he acquired an Amazon UAE brand (instead of starting from scratch), scaled it beyond $1M, and used “quick commerce” via Noon to accelerate growth. He dives into the systems behind scaling in competitive categories—brand positioning, packaging upgrades, content overhauls, marketplace expansion (India and KSA), and a hard-earned logistics lesson from choosing the wrong shipping partner. The episode wraps with his view on Helium 10’s impact and what it takes to build a regional winner that’s ready for bigger markets.

Robert Gomez from Kaffe Products is the definition of “build it while you’re still employed.” He started selling online back in 2012 (including an early mistake that got him banned), then worked his way back into Amazon the right way and launched Kaffe Products in mid-2019. The wild part is he scaled the brand while holding down a full-time corporate career, finishing as a senior finance manager at Microsoft. He didn’t go all-in until early 2023, and by then, Kaffe already had nearly 15 employees and real momentum. In this episode, Robert breaks down why he chose the coffee niche and how he positioned Kaffe differently. Instead of competing with endless coffee bean brands, he focused on the accessory ecosystem: grinders, frothers, tools, storage, mugs, and the full coffee-making process. His very first product, a sleek coffee grinder, became a long-term winner with massive review volume online and eventually turned into his first product placed in Walmart stores nationwide. Along the way, he shares how keyword research changed his thinking, including discovering meaningful Spanish search volume on Amazon.com, and why tools like Helium 10 helped his team move faster, defend against competitors, and save serious time. The biggest lesson is that omnichannel isn’t optional anymore; it’s leverage. Robert was thinking beyond Amazon from day one, even landing a major retail-style purchase before the product officially launched online. He explains how being “everywhere” (Amazon, Walmart.com, TikTok Shop, wholesale, and more) helps customers find you where they already shop and makes retail buyers take you seriously. He also gets real about expensive mistakes (like a $30K influencer spend that didn’t move the needle), then flips to unexpected wins like niche channels that generated hundreds of thousands in profit-heavy Q4 sales. If you want a playbook for going from Amazon to omnichannel to big-box shelves, this one is packed.

Founded by neuroscience student Kent Yoshimura at UC San Diego, NeuroGum was born out of a personal need for clean energy and sustained focus without the crash of traditional energy drinks. By combining natural caffeine with L-theanine in a convenient gum format, the brand introduced a new category: functional energy gum designed for mental clarity, productivity, and performance. After launching on Indiegogo in 2015 and gaining traction through early biohacking communities, NeuroGum rapidly expanded onto Amazon, where data-driven keyword strategies and smart positioning helped accelerate growth. The brand later gained national attention through Shark Tank and organic mentions from Joe Rogan, further solidifying its authority in the nootropics and energy supplement space. Today, NeuroGum not only dominates Amazon in its category but also outsells 5-Hour Energy at CVS, proving that innovative product development combined with strong eCommerce execution can disrupt even the most established markets. NeuroGum’s rise highlights key lessons for entrepreneurs: solve a real problem, leverage community validation, use marketplace data to guide expansion, and build a brand that prioritizes both performance and authenticity. What started as a dorm room biohacking experiment has evolved into a nationally recognized energy brand redefining how consumers think about focus, productivity, and functional supplementation.

| #734 - 7-Figure Amazon Seller With a Full-Time Job | 09 Feb 2026 | 00:38:31 | |
7-figures on Amazon…while working full-time and spending 5 hours/week? Our guest breaks down his TikTok-to-Amazon product strategy, Helium 10 moves, and Q4 playbook. 💰Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► 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 How do you build a 7-figure Amazon brand without quitting your day job or hiring a team? In this episode, Bradley sits down with Jason Ross from Puproar, a longtime listener turned first-time guest, who hit seven figures while working full-time and spending roughly five hours a week on the business. Jason shares the real origin story: he didn’t start with a perfect product; his first launch (pickleball paddles) fizzled fast. But while that was happening, a dog toy idea started gaining traction, so he cut the loser and went all-in on pets. His unfair advantage is his product strategy: watch what’s trending for humans, then build the pet version and design every product with virality in mind so it performs naturally on TikTok and with affiliates. You’ll also hear how Jason runs an ultra-lean operation: using Helium 10 tools like Profits to track margins daily, leveraging Search Query Analyzer to find high-converting terms (and attributing six figures in extra revenue to that data), protecting the brand with Amazon Transparency, and navigating seasonal challenges like Q4 inventory and Amazon capacity limits. If you want a blueprint for scaling without building a huge team, this one delivers. In episode 734 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Jason discuss:

| #733 - Go-To-Market Strategy for Amazon Brands | 02 Feb 2026 | 00:34:30 | |
Learn Elizabeth’s data-driven go-to-market framework for Amazon launches: how to define your true market, use customer insights, leverage AMC overlap reports, and plan ads with confidence. 💰Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► 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 Elizabeth Rivas returns with a behind-the-scenes look at how brands that sell millions (and even tens of millions) actually approach Amazon growth. Instead of relying on gut feel or “big keyword volume,” she explains how modern go-to-market has shifted to a question-driven approach, starting with what you need to know and using data to answer it clearly enough that even senior leadership can buy in. A huge part of her edge is what she calls “storytelling data”: turning overwhelming reports into decisions. What to launch, how to position it, and what messaging will actually resonate. She also breaks down how customer reviews (and real customer language) can uncover product development wins, copywriting angles, and creative direction, so your listing speaks the way shoppers speak. From there, Elizabeth walks through a practical launch workflow: validate demand with keywords, then use tools like Helium 10’s Market Tracker 360 tool to narrow a massive category into your real market—your price tier, your feature set, and your true peer ASINs. Finally, she dives into how AMC (Amazon Marketing Cloud) overlap reports and advertising intel can sharpen everything from targeting and creative to retargeting strategy and launch structure—plus what smaller-budget sellers can do right now to apply the same principles and win.

| #732 - 15 Years #1 on Amazon UK | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:35:47 | |
Amazon UK niche leader for nearly 16 years shares how a single mom built a multi-7-figure brand, survived copycats, ditched unprofitable markets, and grew with influencers + smart keyword research. ► 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 dominate a niche for over a decade without building a giant team or becoming a “warehouse CEO”? Bradley Sutton heads to the UK to visit Cara Sayer at her home in Surrey and unpack the real story behind SnoozeShade: a product used by members of the Royal family and a brand that has stayed on top of its Amazon category for nearly 16 years. Cara’s journey is a classic “scratch your own itch” case study. She needed a better way to protect her baby in a pram from sun, wind, and cold, so she created a stroller “blackout blind” solution that simply didn’t exist at the time. Cara shares her path from working in PR and marketing (including being on the team that helped launch Amazon in the UK back in the early days) to building a physical product business the hard way—trade shows, prototypes, and getting orders before modern Amazon tools even existed. As competition grew, she explains how the brand evolved through distributors, Amazon Vendor Central, and a messy reseller situation (including 37 resellers on her best-selling product) before she took control and moved into Seller Central. Then comes the lesson every seller needs to hear: revenue isn’t the goal—profit is. When the US market turned into “shark-infested waters” full of unsafe knockoffs and price attacks, Cara made the tough call to exit, protect margins, and refocus on what actually made the business stronger. This episode is packed with long-game strategy: why being obsessively good at product quality and customer service beats shortcuts, why market focus matters more than “go global fast,” and how Cara uses influencer relationships to build real brand awareness. She also shares how Helium 10 helps her organize keyword research, spot competitor moves, and avoid international keyword mistakes (because US/UK/AU English is not the same). If you want a blueprint for building a durable brand that survives copycats, this one’s gold. In episode 732 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Cara discuss:

| #731 - I Built A 7-Figure TikTok Shop Product | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:40:23 | |
He quit Amazon, then launched One TikTok Shop SKU to 7-figures. Our guest breaks down content systems, creator outreach, FBT, cash flow, and scaling his product into the US. 💰Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► 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 Jonny Bradley didn’t “quit Amazon” and disappear. He rebuilt from scratch on TikTok Shop and took one SKU to a seven-figure run rate. After years of selling on Amazon (and using Helium 10 for keyword research, review insights, and day-to-day optimization), he intentionally sunset his Amazon brands following a life-changing personal season, then leaned into a new mission: health and longevity. The twist? He didn’t launch the traditional way with Amazon-first or Shopify-first. He went straight into TikTok Shop, where distribution is driven by content, not listings. The core lesson for sellers: on TikTok, you’re not a product company, you’re a content company that monetizes through a product. Jonny explains how they started with founder-led content to create social proof (because creators won’t care about you at zero), then “pattern-broke” with a hook that flipped what everyone else was doing in the niche: instead of “I took NMN for 30 days and feel amazing,” he led with “I’ve been taking NMN for 18 months and I’m sick…” (sick of the shady industry). That approach drove views, comments, and a reply-to-comments content loop that turned into shoppable videos, while a handful of high-performing affiliates helped accelerate momentum. Scaling brought real-world seller headaches: inventory, cash flow, and fulfillment. They moved from a 3PL to FBT (Fulfilled by TikTok) as soon as possible and managed growth with tight reorders and aggressive cash flow cycles. Jonny also shares an underrated edge: treating creators like partners, not disposable traffic with WhatsApp groups, direct support, and small gestures that build loyalty in a space where creators can promote your competitor tomorrow. Now he’s applying the same playbook to a US launch from zero, proving this isn’t “TikTok luck”, it’s a repeatable system Amazon sellers can learn from.

| #730 - How to Get Your Amazon Product Recommended By AI | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:32:28 | |

In this episode, Bradley sits down with Leo Sgovio, a longtime seller who’s sold tens of millions online, to break down what it actually takes to get your product recommended by AI (not just ranked on Amazon). Leo shares a practical GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) approach: build your brand around a domain you can own, publish AI-readable assets (like spec PDFs, schema, and other crawlable files), and then earn mentions where AI systems pull real-world signals, especially Reddit, press releases, and other trusted sources. The big takeaway: in many categories, showing up in AI answers can prompt shoppers to search for your brand directly on Amazon, creating demand that doesn’t require paid ads. We also dive into what sellers should do within Amazon to stay ahead of the AI curve. Such as using competitor questions to guide listing copy, treating Rufus as new “search real estate,” and optimizing A+ and image assets (including metadata and keyword placement). Additionally, Leo discusses launching products in competitive niches using PPC-only (no giveaways) and why Amazon fundamentals remain important despite the impact of AI on the discovery process.

| #729 - The $3M Amazon Seller Who Still Sells His First Product | 05 Jan 2026 | 00:32:03 | |
Meet this Amazon seller still selling his first product. He shares how Freedom Ticket and Helium 10 tools sparked instant success, which then scaled in two years through B2B sales, AMC, and lean operations.

Andrew Engle transitioned from mechanical/manufacturing engineering to becoming an Amazon seller after identifying where the real money was: selling products on Amazon, not services. In 2019, he launched his first product, found using Helium 10 (Black Box) and guided by Freedom Ticket, and it took off quickly. Within about two years, the “side hustle” out-earned his job, and he went all-in. Today, he and his wife run a lean operation doing roughly $3.2M/year, with about 90% coming from Amazon North America (including remote fulfillment into Canada), plus a growing Shopify slice. A significant driver of their next-level growth has been leveraging Amazon Business, which has expanded B2B sales to around 30% through business pricing rules, dedicated business campaigns, and, in particular, separating out Sponsored Brands for business use to maintain a strong TACoS and ROAS. Andrew also shares the behind-the-scenes realities: how taking on debt during a hot streak got stressful when a major competitor arrived, and how they’ve worked back out of it. He breaks down what they’ve changed to protect profitability amid tariffs and fee pressure (including shipping strategy and AWD), as well as how Amazon Marketing Cloud audiences are helping them run smarter top-of-funnel Sponsored Display and reach campaigns without wasting spend.

| #728 - Scaling to 9 Figures on Amazon | 29 Dec 2025 | 00:33:03 | |
An 8-figure Amazon seller shares the boring blueprint to reach 9 figures.

Brian breaks down the “boring” reality behind big growth: consistent execution, understanding your numbers, and building systems that scale without relying on hacks. His story starts as a side hustle, but quickly becomes a real operation built on repeatable processes. A big focus is on underused Amazon levers most sellers don’t talk about enough: Amazon Business (B2B), Remote Fulfillment, and AWD. Brian explains how Amazon Business isn’t just for giant companies, and how simple moves, such as enabling business pricing (even small discounts) and offering case-pack options, can unlock larger orders, better margins, and fewer returns. He also shares how his team now uses PPC adjustments to lean further into B2B performance. Finally, Brian gets tactical on fulfillment and scaling operations. Why AWD requires patience, why timelines matter as much as cost, and how a hybrid model (AWD + your own warehouse) can reduce workload while keeping control. The takeaway is clear: the sellers who win in the long term aren’t chasing quick wins, they’re building unsexy systems that compound.

Born in Russia, she later moved to the US and now lives in Panama. She shares how discovering Project X on YouTube provided her with a clear, step-by-step roadmap to launch her first successful product and ultimately build a real business. Today, her brand sells hosting and event accessories across Amazon, TikTok Shop, Shopify, Walmart, and more. Kseniia opens up about early missteps, including a “bad” reusable paper towel product and a nightmare 3PL situation that forced her to remove her main seller from FBA. She breaks down how she used the original Project X process: Black Box research, competitive analysis, and design differentiation to find her first true winner, and then leveled up by validating every new idea with Helium 10 Audience. She also explains how tools like Keyword Tracker and Cerebro help her repeatedly mine new keywords and refine listings. A unique champagne tower product she launched in 2025 alone has already generated over half a million dollars in revenue. From there, the conversation shifts to multi-channel strategy and defending margins in a world of fast Chinese copycats. Kseniia shares how she combats low-price clones with better images, real lifestyle photo shoots, constant product improvements, and external traffic from Meta ads and TikTok content that send warmed-up shoppers straight to Amazon and Shopify. She details her TikTok Shop approach, starting with high affiliate commissions, utilizing GMV Max ads, and allowing creators to drive momentum. And explains why she’s intentionally shifting more volume to her own site for long-term resilience. She closes with encouragement for newer sellers: it’s absolutely not too late to start on Amazon in 2026, as long as you’re willing to differentiate, build a real brand, and eventually expand beyond a single marketplace.

In this episode, he shares how a childhood split between California, Japan, and the Philippines, early public speaking in multiple languages, and an obsession with being “different” led him from Korean car parts to nationally ranked sumo wrestling and international Zumba tours. Along the way, a “Crazy Sock TV” YouTube persona racked up tens of millions of views and proved that you can turn fun, strange ideas into real opportunity. Bradley then dives into the Amazon chapter of his story, scaling a phone case business to 1,000-2,000 orders per day, running his own warehouse, and facing a surreal crisis when a business partner was kidnapped by the Chinese mafia over unpaid factory debt. That experience forced him to rethink partnerships, visibility, and risk. With almost no money, he flew to an Amazon conference, slept in a rental car, and decided to go all-in on understanding launches, keywords, and ranking. He launched hundreds of products for brands and eventually joined Helium 10. From there, Bradley breaks down what he calls the “Maldives mindset”: getting obsessed with the game, using your unique advantages, and turning weaknesses into strengths. He shares case studies, such as Demon Slayer-inspired party products and wooden egg trays, that win in “saturated” niches by being unique, as well as how he utilizes Helium 10 data to revive demand for out-of-stock winners. He also opens up about a heart attack that left him clinically dead for 15 minutes and the regrets that come with kids growing up fast, reminding entrepreneurs that health and family matter more than any sales chart.

This simulcast episode sets the tone for what’s coming next: more Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and AI-driven strategies designed to help you make money in the AM and the PM. Bradley also shares the new format for both shows, including Weekly Buzz moving to AM/PM Podcast, expert-led trainings, and a renewed focus on real seller stories on Serious Sellers Podcast every Monday. From there, things get wild. Carrie tells the story of a truckload of her Amazon inventory being hijacked on the freeway like a scene straight out of Fast & Furious, complete with a fake carrier, turned-off tracking, ransom demands, and a loss that ballooned to around $70K after tariffs. She breaks down what she learned about freight, tariffs, switching manufacturing from China to Turkey, and why sellers need to be more hands-on with carriers and agencies alike. Shivali then shares her own hard lesson: a high-margin product that kept failing customers, forcing her to pull the listing and rebuild the brand off-Amazon using a digital-first strategy that pairs a makeup mastery course with a physical product bonus and a new funnel powered by Google Ads. To round out the episode, Shivali walks through exactly how she became a TikTok creator in just 12 days, qualified for the Creator Pilot Program, and started monetizing with TikTok Shop using existing camera-roll content, smart reposting, and product tagging. She also reveals some under-the-radar AI tools like Higgsfield and Arcads that can help sellers generate before-and-after content, influencer-style videos, and scalable creatives without always needing the physical product on hand. Carrie closes with one more key reminder for Amazon sellers: start paying attention to Rufus and optimize your listings around the real questions shoppers are asking, because AI-driven search is already changing how people discover products on Amazon.

Jenny’s team builds the systems that are transforming how Amazon sellers create videos, images, and ad assets across Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display. If you’ve heard about Amazon Advertising’s new Creative Agent and wondered how it actually works, this episode gives you the insider perspective. Jenny walks us through the evolution of Amazon’s creative ecosystem: from early one-click image generators to today’s full conversational, agentic workflows that let sellers input nothing more than an ASIN, a simple goal, and a rough idea. The agent then learns your intent, pulls from your product detail page, and automatically generates polished videos, lifestyle imagery, and ad-ready creative concepts. Whether you’re not “graphically inclined” or you’re a creative pro trying to scale variations and testing, these tools are designed to unlock high-quality output for all skill levels. Bradley and Jenny also dive into real-world applications, how custom creatives now influence performance, what makes shoppers stop scrolling, and why strong visuals matter even in Sponsored Products. Jenny explains why Amazon’s creative philosophy is shifting toward storytelling, brand authenticity, and giving sellers more flexibility to express what makes their product unique. As she puts it, AI is not here to replace the marketer; it’s here to take away the manual work so sellers can focus on what message they want their brand to communicate. To wrap up the episode, Bradley is joined briefly by longtime SSP guest Destaney Wishon, who shares her two biggest takeaways from Unboxed: the scale-changing impact of Creative Agent and the rollout of Sponsored Products Video placements.
