#564 - What Happened After He Took Over His Amazon PPC
2026/10/17
In this Outsourced to Optimized reunion, learn what happened after taking Amazon PPC in-house, how AI changed workflows, and which costly mistakes led to smarter testing and better results.
What happens months after you take your Amazon advertising in-house? In this Outsourced to Optimized reunion, Carrie Miller welcomes back PPC expert Destaney Wishon and brand owner Jason Ross for an honest look at his progress since O2O Season 2. After learning to manage his campaigns with Helium 10 Ads, Jason gained the confidence to launch products more strategically, question recommendations, and connect advertising with his broader business goals. But his journey also included an expensive reminder that testing without proper controls can quickly hurt profitability.
One of Jason’s biggest breakthroughs came from Sponsored Brands. Selling dog and cat toys priced around $7.99 to $13.99, he initially assumed the format was better suited to bigger brands with higher-priced products. Since the series, Sponsored Brands has grown from roughly 5% to 26% of his advertising spend. Jason explains how focused audience targeting and showcasing newer products alongside established favorites helped him rethink the opportunity. Destaney breaks down why creative, bids, and campaign structure matter when evaluating whether an ad format can work for your brand.
AI has also changed how Jason manages the business. Using Claude with Helium 10’s MCP integration, he investigates campaign performance, receives daily alerts, and asks follow-up questions before acting on recommendations. A weekly profitability dashboard has replaced a reporting process that previously took about three hours every Friday. On the creative side, Jason combines real product photography with ChatGPT to develop image options, then gathers feedback through Helium 10 Audience. He shares one example where sales doubled the week after an image update, illustrating why faster, more affordable testing has become central to his approach.
The conversation also explores Amazon’s evolving advertising tools, audience personalization, and Sponsored Review Requests, which Destaney describes as being in alpha at the time of recording. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that easier access and automation still require clear business priorities and strategic judgment. Jason’s experience shows the value of understanding your advertising, whether you manage it yourself or work with an agency. Start with a clear objective, put controls around your experiments, and use what you learn to make your next decision stronger.

#562 - New Amazon Releases For Launch and Brand Stores
2026/10/10
What if you could test a product idea before buying inventory? Learn new launch tools, AI-powered storefronts, and an overlooked ad mistake that could be costing you sales.
What does it take to give a new Amazon product a better chance of succeeding? Recorded at Amazon Accelerate, Bradley Sutton speaks with Ami Pandya from Amazon’s New Product Success team about two decisions sellers often underestimate: validating demand before buying inventory and building momentum after launch. Ami explains why confidence in an idea is no substitute for customer data, and why the first 90 days call for active attention to traffic, reviews, and early sales signals.
Ami walks through updates to Product Opportunity Explorer, including insights into unmet demand and Validate Your Product Idea. Sellers can enter a proposed product’s price and features, compare it with leading products, examine customer feedback, and refine the concept before manufacturing. She also discusses an announced AI-powered launch playbook designed to recommend actions for each product, plus FBA New Selection Program incentives that may help eligible sellers manage launch costs.
Bradley then sits down with Angie Mosqueda, who runs the Amazon business for Stardust Spill Products. Angie shares how newer Brand Store tools could help her show business buyers multipacks while giving first-time shoppers more introductory content. When she checked her Store analytics, she found another opportunity: her advertising was not sending Sponsored Brands traffic directly to the storefront.
After bringing advertising in-house, Angie had to sort through hundreds of campaigns left by previous agencies. She now uses AI with her Amazon and Helium 10 accounts to review performance, research keywords, adjust bids, and identify wasted spend. Her experience offers a practical reminder: a strong product launch is only the beginning. Keep checking what shoppers see, where your ads take them, and what the numbers say to do next.
In episode 562 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Ami, and Angie discuss:

#560 - Drive Amazon Traffic Without Paying for Ads
2026/10/03
Could an AI influencer send shoppers to your Amazon products? Discover how videos made for under $1 can drive organic traffic, build an audience, and help grow without paying to boost posts.
What if the person introducing shoppers to your products never existed in real life? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes e-commerce marketer Hurricane Liz Herrera for a hands-on workshop exploring how AI-generated influencers can attract attention and send organic traffic to Amazon listings. Liz shares examples of brands generating substantial sales with little or no sponsored advertising activity in the data she presents, raising an intriguing question: How much of your competitors’ success could be starting outside Amazon?
Liz takes viewers inside her content creation process, from researching successful Instagram videos to building an AI character and generating individual scenes in Google Flow. She demonstrates how AI assistants can break a script into short segments, suggest an avatar based on a product’s target customer, and prepare images for animation. Using the credit costs discussed during the workshop, she estimates that a six-scene video can cost around $0.90 to generate. The demonstration also reveals why detailed prompts, consistent character references, and a final human review matter when turning AI output into usable content.
Creating the video is only part of the strategy. Liz explains how she distributes content through separate influencer accounts on Instagram and Facebook, using calls to action that encourage viewers to comment and receive a product link. She also shares an example of an account that continued attracting followers and sales after posting stopped. Bradley and Liz discuss how recommendation feeds can introduce videos to people who have never followed the creator, allowing newer accounts to reach potential customers. Their focus remains on content that motivates action, with appropriate disclosures and messaging that fits the brand.
For sellers ready to expand production, Liz shares how automation connects script selection, image generation, rendering, and editing while preserving a final human quality check. She also discusses her Paris workshop and the work involved in maintaining these systems as tools evolve. Watch the YouTube version to follow the visual demonstration, then consider where this approach could fit your business. Start with one clear product story, create something worth watching, and use what you learn to build another path for shoppers to discover your brand.

#558 - Amazon’s Biggest Seller Updates From Accelerate 2026
2026/09/26
Live from Amazon Accelerate 2026, discover the biggest AI, logistics, lending, compliance, and product research updates set to transform how Amazon sellers operate and grow.
Amazon Accelerate 2026 delivered a wave of announcements that could reshape how sellers build and manage their businesses. One of the biggest developments is Amazon’s collaboration with Anthropic, which could bring Seller Assistant’s intelligence, recommendations, and ability to take approved actions into Claude. Helium 10’s Bradley Sutton and Andrea Marquez of Amazon’s This is Small Business podcast explore how sellers may soon combine Amazon business information with tools such as Claude and Helium 10 MCP to research opportunities, analyze performance, and streamline everyday operations.
The episode examines Amazon’s growing role across the entire supply chain. Amazon Global Logistics can now deliver inventory from a factory to a seller’s warehouse or 3PL, while Multi-Channel Fulfillment can provide faster Prime-style delivery for orders placed through platforms such as TikTok Shop. Sellers may also gain access to expanded financing, more flexible supply chain services, and greater protection against immediate listing suspensions.
Bradley and Andrea also discuss how conversational shopping with Alexa for Shopping could help customers discover products without knowing the correct keywords. On the seller side, new product-validation tools can provide valuable category insights before a product launches. Personalized Brand Stores will also allow businesses to create different experiences for first-time visitors and returning customers, making branding and customer relationships even more important.
The episode concludes with interviews about Amazon’s Seller Partner Plugin and updated returns programs, including Restore to New and customized grading. Together, these developments point toward a more connected selling ecosystem—but technology alone will not determine who succeeds. Sellers who combine these tools with strong products, authentic branding, customer understanding, and consistent execution will be best positioned to grow.

#556 - How to Audit Your Amazon Listing With AI
2026/09/19
Is your Amazon listing leaving sales behind? Learn how to uncover missing keywords, analyze competitors, use AI, and optimize your listing for stronger rankings, ads, and Q4 sales this year.
Is your Amazon listing truly optimized, or are missing keywords quietly costing you traffic and sales? In this episode, Bradley Sutton walks through a complete Amazon listing audit designed to help sellers prepare for Q4 and beyond. Using an underperforming handwriting workbook as a real-world example, he reveals how to identify the right competitors, uncover valuable keyword opportunities, and determine exactly where an existing listing is falling short.
Bradley demonstrates how to build a comprehensive keyword bank using Amazon Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, Cerebro, historical rankings, and competitors’ sponsored placements. He also explains how to narrow hundreds of results into the 20 to 30 phrases that matter most based on sales history, search volume, competitive performance, and relevance. By incorporating these phrases naturally, sellers can improve how Amazon understands their products and increase their potential to rank organically and perform better in advertising.
The episode also explores how Helium 10’s MCP, tools, and the AI Agent can accelerate listing optimization. Bradley uses Listing Builder’s AI workflow to generate a stronger title, bullet points, item highlights, and product description, significantly improving the listing’s keyword coverage and competitive score. He also shares ways to use customer reviews, TikTok Shop Review Insights, and common Alexa shopping questions to ensure the copy addresses the benefits and concerns shoppers care about most.
Whether you manage one important product or dozens of listings, this workflow provides a clear path toward stronger optimization. AI can make the process faster, but the biggest results come from combining technology with thoughtful competitor selection, reliable keyword data, and human judgment. Audit your listings now, uncover the opportunities you have been missing, and give your products a stronger foundation for lasting growth.

#555 - An Amazon Title Glitch NO ONE Is Talking About! & Amazon PPC On ChatGPT? | Weekly Buzz 9/17/26
2026/09/17
Amazon title changes could cost sellers thousands. Plus, Prime Big Deal Days are announced, and ChatGPT advertising may be coming soon. Get this week’s top e-commerce news.
We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10’s newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level.
Huge Potential Amazon Title Issue!
Amazon may hide brand names from product titles in search results, which can hurt conversions when the brand name contains a product’s main keyword. Bradley discovered that removing “Hemp” from one listing coincided with its conversion rate and daily sales dropping by nearly half. Sellers should check their listings and, if affected, add the missing keyword separately within the title as a workaround.

#554 - 10 AI Prompts That Save Amazon Sellers Hours
2026/09/12
Discover powerful prompts you can run with Helium, Helium 10’s new built-in AI agent, to uncover keyword gaps, analyze competitors, optimize listings, and find new opportunities.
Helium 10 has a powerful new AI agent and it works directly inside the Helium 10 platform. In this episode, Bradley Sutton and Andrew Bell reveal advanced prompts sellers can run with Helium to analyze their Amazon businesses, uncover hidden opportunities, and turn marketplace data into actionable strategies without needing a separate paid AI subscription.
Bradley demonstrates how Helium can identify the keywords potentially driving changes in competitors’ sales, uncover valuable rankings your products have lost, and find underserved product opportunities. He also shows how sellers can analyze their Brand Analytics visibility and discover Sponsored Brands video keywords their competitors are targeting but they are currently missing.
Andrew takes Helium’s capabilities even further, using detailed prompts to build comprehensive keyword banks from Cerebro, Magnet, Brand Analytics, historical rankings, and other Helium 10 data sources. He also demonstrates how the new AI agent can research competitors, allocate keywords, and fully optimize an Amazon listing, including its title, bullet points, description, and Alexa for Shopping Q&A, all from inside Helium 10.

#552 - The Best MCP Skills & Prompts We’ve Seen Yet!
2026/09/05
Turn hours of Amazon research into minutes with these Helium 10 MCP prompts and skills that uncover keyword gaps, ad opportunities, product risks, and smarter ways to grow your e-commerce business faster.
What if hours of Amazon research could be completed in just a few minutes? In this episode, Bradley Sutton explores how sellers can utilize Claude Skills and Prompts with the Helium 10 MCP to streamline complicated workflows involving Cerebro, Keyword Tracker, Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, Profits, and Ads. Instead of downloading reports and comparing spreadsheets manually, sellers can use a single prompt to uncover competitor strategies, seasonal keywords, organic ranking gaps, and overlooked advertising opportunities.
Bradley also explains how reusable AI skills can take this automation even further. He demonstrates an Amazon Recommended Rank skill that reveals how Amazon interprets a product and which keywords it considers most relevant. This can help sellers understand why a listing is struggling to receive impressions, discover valuable keywords with no organic placement, and identify stronger advertising opportunities based on Amazon’s own relevancy data.
The episode also highlights creative submissions from the Helium 10 MCP Skills and Prompts hackathon contest. These include tools for diagnosing product performance, completing in-depth ASIN teardowns, analyzing Search Query Performance data, researching keywords across multiple marketplaces, reallocating advertising spend based on organic rankings, and scoring new product opportunities. Each example shows how sellers can transform fragmented data into clear reports, visual dashboards, and prioritized actions.
The biggest opportunity, however, is not simply copying somebody else’s workflow. It is creating prompts and skills designed around the exact needs of your business. Whether you want to audit advertising performance, monitor keyword rankings, automate monthly inventory reporting, or evaluate your next product idea, AI can help you make faster and better-informed decisions. Start building your own workflows today, because the sellers who learn to turn data into action will be the ones best prepared to grow tomorrow.

Easily the most annoying intro to a podcast
Otherwise, the information is pretty good. Would be nice to focus more on product selection, and strategies to grow business off Amazon.
