In this episode, learn 10 Amazon and TikTok Shop strategies using Helium 10 to automate ads, find hidden product opportunities, analyze keywords, and improve profitability.

What if some of the biggest Amazon and TikTok Shop opportunities are hiding in places most sellers never check? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton, Carrie Miller, and Shivali Patel break down 10 unique strategies designed to help sellers save time, uncover hidden data, and make smarter decisions across Amazon and TikTok Shop.

The episode starts with advanced Amazon advertising strategies, including how to automatically adjust bids based on keyword rank and how sellers can use historical Brand Analytics data to see which products consistently won clicks and purchases for important keywords. These strategies can help sellers protect ranking, improve targeting, and better understand who their real competitors are over time.

The conversation also dives into product research and listing insights, including the “zombie hunter” method for finding out-of-stock products that used to generate strong sales. Carrie also shows how sellers can quickly uncover top keywords from Amazon search results, while Shivali explains how to use seller country data and TikTok Chrome Extension insights to better evaluate competition and customer demand.

For sellers expanding into TikTok Shop, this episode also covers how to manage TikTok ads more efficiently, estimate profitability across different fulfillment methods, and decide whether a product is worth testing on the platform. The closing message is clear: sellers who know where to find hidden data, automate smarter, and act on overlooked opportunities can make better decisions faster. If you are selling on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or both, this episode is packed with strategies worth implementing.

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.

Updates to improve your Amazon product titles begin on July 27 https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHV0NZOTdDTktSR0pHQzlW Walmart finally revealed its sale dates—and it starts before Prime Day https://www.usatoday.com/story/shopping/deals/retailers/walmart/2026/06/08/walmart-summer-sale-2026-dates-announced/90467677007/ Register now for Amazon Accelerate 2026 and save $100 https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHN0xKRDNINjJFSjk1QlJV Helium 10’s free Amazon Search Anomaly tracker recently detected the biggest spike in Amazon Search Anomalies since March 2026, which may explain sudden ranking drops, de-indexing, or sales/page view dips across multiple listings. Sellers can check their Keyword Tracker and sign up at h10.me/asa to get notified when these anomalies happen, even though the main solution is simply to wait for Amazon to resolve them. Bradley recommends binge-watching his two-part Maldives Honeymoon Launch Strategy episodes, covering Rufus or Alexa for Shopping, product research, and the exact launch steps that helped him reach page one for nearly all main keywords within one week. He also reminds sellers that while there is no immediate “Amazon listing title Armageddon,” they may need to take action by July 27th.

Prime Day competition is rising. Learn how smarter Amazon ads, AMC audiences, DSP, video, and AI creative can help sellers capture more traffic and conversions before, during, and after it.

Prime Day is no longer just about turning up your Amazon PPC budget and hoping the extra traffic converts. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali Patel sits down with Destaney Wishon of BTR Media to break down what sellers should expect from Prime Day, how advertising behavior has changed, and why brands need a more intentional strategy around bids, budgets, audiences, and creative.

Destaney explains why campaign structure is one of the biggest levers sellers can control before a major shopping event. Instead of relying on one broad campaign, she recommends segmenting campaigns by goal, including awareness, ranking, efficiency, brand defense, auto discovery, and conquesting. This gives sellers the flexibility to shift budget based on what they actually want to accomplish, whether that is improving BSR, protecting profitability, capturing existing demand, or creating more awareness before shoppers are ready to buy.

The episode also dives into how AMC and DSP are changing the way Amazon sellers approach advertising. Destaney shares why shoppers often click or add to cart days before purchasing, which means brands may be cutting off future sales if they lower bids too quickly. She also explains how AMC audiences can help sellers target higher-intent shoppers, such as cart abandoners or people more likely to buy premium products, while DSP and streaming TV can help create demand before shoppers even search on Amazon.

To close the conversation, Destaney breaks down practical Prime Day tactics for new brands, low-priced products, lead-in and lead-out periods, dayparting, automatic campaigns, and creative assets. Her biggest reminder is that there is no one-size-fits-all Prime Day strategy. The brands that win are the ones that understand their goals, know their margins, use data wisely, and build an ad strategy that fits their business instead of copying someone else’s playbook.

Has AI really changed Amazon search? Learn what Rufus or Alexa for Shopping means for keywords, product research, and finding new Amazon opportunities before your competitors do.

Has Rufus now called Alexa for Shopping completely changed the way shoppers search on Amazon, or are sellers overreacting to the AI hype? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton records from the Maldives for part one of his annual Maldives Honeymoon Launch series and breaks down what has changed, what has not changed, and why Amazon sellers should still care deeply about keywords, indexing, and traditional search.

Bradley explains that AI has absolutely changed e-commerce, but not necessarily in the way many people think. Rufus (Quick note: Rufus is now rebranded as Alexa for Shopping) can make the shopping journey easier, especially when customers are looking for solutions rather than a specific product. But when shoppers already know what they want, traditional Amazon search is still one of the fastest paths to purchase. Bradley also explains how optimizing for Amazon search can help sellers optimize for Rufus, using real examples of products missing important keywords and disappearing from both search results and Rufus recommendations.

The episode then shifts into product research strategies sellers can use to find new opportunities in 2026 and beyond. Bradley walks through keyword-based research using title density, search volume, review count, and sales filters, while also comparing those methods against raw AI suggestions that can produce unreliable data. He also explains how sellers can use free Amazon tools, such as Brand Analytics and Opportunity Explorer, to uncover low-conversion keywords, weakly competitive products, and products shoppers are searching for but not finding.

Bradley also shares creative ways to discover product ideas outside of standard research tools, including spotting trends on Etsy and Pinterest, applying saturated products to new niches, taking advantage of quick-moving pop culture trends, finding abandoned “zombie listings,” and using old-school product filters that still work today. The big takeaway: AI matters, Rufus matters, but the fundamentals of Amazon product research and keyword strategy are far from dead. Sellers who combine new AI awareness with proven data-driven research methods can still find serious opportunities before the market gets crowded. For part two of this Maldives Honeymoon Launch series, head over to the Serious Sellers Podcast and listen to episode 750. Bradley goes deeper into keyword research, launch strategy, and how to get new products ranking on page one within days: https://h10.me/750

Learn how Claude can help Amazon sellers organize workflows, automate tasks, improve keyword research, build smarter systems, and save time in business and life.

AI is no longer just a tool for writing quick prompts or brainstorming ideas. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Andrew Bell and Zoe Lu to explore how Amazon sellers can use Claude to organize their business, simplify daily tasks, and create repeatable systems that save serious time. Bradley opens by sharing his own failed attempt at using Claude for a presentation, proving an important point: AI is only as good as the context, instructions, and structure you give it.

Andrew breaks down what makes Claude different from a basic chatbot experience. He explains how Claude Chat, Claude Co-Work, Claude Code, skills, sub-agents, and scheduled tasks can help sellers move from simple conversations to actual workflows. For Amazon sellers, this can mean pulling keyword data, organizing it into Excel, mapping search intent, building product truth cards, judging keyword relevance, and even using Claude to support listing optimization, PPC planning, and product research.

Zoe then brings the conversation back to a beginner-friendly level by explaining how sellers can get started. Her advice is to install the desktop app, use Claude Co-Work, create a “brain” folder with personal and business context, connect the tools you already use, and turn repeated tasks into projects, schedules, dashboards, or skills. From managing calendars and emails to organizing files, creating daily briefs, analyzing customer feedback, or preparing for meetings, Claude becomes more powerful when it understands your goals and connects with your workflow.

The biggest takeaway is that Amazon sellers do not need to become AI experts overnight, but they do need to start building AI into their operations. Claude can help reduce busywork, organize messy information, create smarter processes, and uncover insights faster when used correctly. For sellers who want to stay competitive, the opportunity is not just using AI once in a while, but building repeatable systems that help them work faster, think more clearly, and grow smarter.
