Ranking on Amazon - A9 Masterclass.

Here is a quick overview.

Ranking on Amazon - A9 Masterclass Part 1

This is our first Masterclass in understanding the A9 algo, where we dive deep into the three main components of product search and provide real-life examples to help you understand how it all works based on the science papers and directly from A9 team member presentations.

In the first episode of our series, we break down the Query Category Score, Hunger Score, and In-Category Relevance Score, and explain how they are used by Amazon's Search Relevance Team to determine the best results to show when someone executes a search query and how they combine all three.

We provide clear explanations and real-life examples to help you understand how these components work and how you can use this knowledge for your own brand. We also dispel some of the myths surrounding A9 algorithm and provide insights directly from the source.

This episode is 13 minutes, watch to the end as you will hear some really interesting stuff on the "Honeymoon" Period.

On Thursdays with Sharon Even, we invite Christina Passmore from Christina Ink back to talk about how leveraging User Generated Content in your Business can not only help earn buyers' trust but also help grow Brand Awareness and of course Increase Sales!

  Launching on Amazon In The EU In 2023 (Roundtable)   In this session we talk about all areas of launching in the EU, from compliance, VAT, Taxes, what products to launch from your brand catalogue and how to target correctly without wasting time on products that will simply not work. We will discuss translations, multi language keywords, launching and getting reviews.   With me on the panel is Mel (AVASK) whom heads up a multi national Tax empire, 7 figure seller Fe Soutter, translations whizz Jana Krekic whom manages around 100 translations in many, many languages.  

Jana Krekic is the founder and CEO of YLT Translations, the largest Amazon-centric localization firm in the space today.

Each translator is well-versed in Amazon's dynamic and ever-changing landscape, and can perform the keyword research and write the copy needed to improve conversions and engagement.

The result is a localisation firm that transposes and transcreates content to maximise conversion and engagement. Clients range from medium-sized enterprises ready to take the plunge to global expansion, to eCommerce monoliths seeking to spread their footprint.

Fe Soutter

Fiona dedicated her efforts to learning about the world of digital marketing. She founded a consultancy business, spoke at events, and published books. 

However, a car accident in 2014 derailed Fiona’s progress, and she had to fight through years of chronic pain and all that came with it to re-establish herself.

In 2020, Fiona launched her e-commerce business. By combining her accumulated skills with a powerful purpose, she developed a brand that resonated with her audience, which resulted in her being able to create a multiple 7-figure business within 18 months. Fiona is now three years into her e-commerce journey and is now close to launching in the EU.
