#515 - Amazon Rufus Can Now Do WHAT? + New MCF Discounts | Weekly Buzz 4/22/26

In part 1 of this 2-part series, Amazon experts share Prime Day, AI, TikTok, PPC, image testing, and Helium 10 strategies to help sellers prepare, optimize, and win bigger.   In this special Part 1 of a two-part AM/PM Podcast series, Carrie Miller brings together top Amazon, TikTok Shop, PPC, image optimization, AI, and Helium 10 experts to help sellers prepare for Prime Day. The episode focuses on strategies that can be implemented before the rush, from improving conversion rates and campaign structure to using AI tools for faster execution. The first set of experts dives into practical Prime Day tactics, including using AMC audiences to target higher-converting shoppers, scaling international keyword research with Google Sheets AI and Helium 10, and using AI-assisted workflows to build PPC bulk files. The episode also highlights the importance of main image testing, with strategies from PickFu and AMC One Step showing how sellers can benchmark against competitors, test creative angles, and use SERP simulations to improve click-through rates.   TikTok also plays a major role in this episode. Sellers learn how to validate products with Helium 10’s TikTok Hot Videos, use TikTok as a top-of-funnel channel for Amazon Prime Day, and create subtle content that drives inbound interest without relying on overt Amazon calls to action. Experts also discuss protecting margins, avoiding unnecessary over-discounting, and using voice-to-text AI tools like WhisperFlow to speed up daily e-commerce workflows.   The episode closes with advanced strategies around external traffic, listing optimization, Market Tracker 360, hybrid Prime Day deal structures, and AI-powered product briefs. The biggest lesson is clear: Prime Day success is not just about running a discount. It is about preparing early, improving conversion, understanding your market, using data wisely, and applying AI where it saves time and sharpens decision-making. This first part sets the foundation for sellers who want to turn Prime Day traffic into profitable, long-term momentum.   In episode 520 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie, Shivali, and guest speakers discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:37 - Destaney Wishon: AMC Audience Strategy 05:48 - Ritu Java: AI keyword and PPC Hacks 15:38 - Adrienne Van Nimer: Image Testing Workflow 19:18 - Alina Vlaic: Prime Day, TikTok, and AI tips 26:02 - Michelle Barnum-Smith: TikTok Prime Day Strategy 34:58 - Kamaljit Singh: Main Image Testing Tip 41:11 - Leo Sgovio: External Traffic and Listings Strategy 52:39 - Delaney Del Mundo: Deals and Market Insights

Discover smart ways to uncover hidden Amazon product and keyword opportunities, track competitor trends, spot seasonal gaps, and find new Amazon business growth angles using Helium 10’s Black Box tool. 💰 Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 Finding profitable product opportunities on Amazon is not always about chasing what is already obvious. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie Miller is joined by Bradley Sutton and Shivali Patel to break down how sellers can use Helium 10’s Black Box tool to uncover hidden opportunities in products, keywords, competitors, and even abandoned listings. Instead of relying on guesswork or endless Amazon searches, they show how sellers can use filters and deeper data to build smarter shortlists and validate ideas faster. Shivali explains how Black Box can help sellers narrow product research based on factors like review count, images, revenue, sales volume, and pricing. She also shows how keyword-based research can reveal fast-rising trends and untapped search terms that most sellers would never discover manually. The bigger lesson is that product research is not just about finding demand. It is about finding demand where competition, listing quality, or keyword targeting still leave room for a better offer. Bradley dives into some of the most unique strategies in the episode, including how to find out-of-stock products, research seasonal items before they return, and uncover keywords that directly drove competitor sales. Carrie adds another layer by showing how Amazon Brand Analytics data inside Helium 10 can help sellers identify top-clicked and top-converting keywords, monitor keyword trends over time, and spot openings when competitors lose traction. The episode also covers finding true product competitors, hyper-filtering search results for PPC targeting, and analyzing frequently bought together history for bundling and cross-selling opportunities. What makes this episode especially valuable is that it pushes sellers to think beyond surface-level research. The real advantage is not just seeing what is selling now, but understanding why it is selling, where the gaps are, and how to position yourself before the rest of the market catches on. For Amazon sellers who want a more strategic way to discover products, keywords, and advertising angles, this episode is a strong reminder that the best opportunities are often hiding in the data right in front of you. In episode 518 of the AM/PM Podcast, Carrie, Shivali, and Bradley discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:24 - Using Black Box Products For Smarter Product Research 03:34 - Filtering By Reviews, Images, Revenue, And Sales 05:57 - Finding Niche Product Ideas You Would Miss Manually 06:30 - Black Box Out-Of-Stock Products And Zombie Listings 08:01 - Using Out-Of-Stock Data For Seasonal And Competitor Research 12:05 - Finding Product Opportunities With Black Box Keywords 14:15 - Using Search Volume, Title Density, And Competitor Filters 17:47 - Using Brand Analytics To Find Keyword And Product Opportunities 19:06 - Analyzing Top Clicked And Top Converting Competitor Keywords 22:51 - How To Find Keywords That Drove Competitor Sales 26:07 - Finding Competitors For Any Amazon Product 28:24 - Hyper Filtering Amazon Search Results For PPC Targeting 30:10 - Using Frequently Bought Together History For Ads And Bundles Enjoy this episode?

Amazon Japan is bigger than most sellers realize. In this episode, let’s unpack market differences, cheaper ad opportunities, AI strategy, and Japan travel tips. What makes Amazon Japan worth serious attention from global sellers? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down with Nate Shurilla, Head of APAC at Pacvue, to break down why Japan remains one of the most overlooked opportunities in e-commerce. From marketplace size and shopper behavior to lower advertising competition, the conversation highlights why brands selling in the US or Europe should take a closer look at Japan before the window gets more crowded.   Bradley and Nate explore how the Japanese market differs from Western markets in ways many sellers do not expect. They discuss how Amazon and Rakuten dominate e-commerce in Japan, why convenience culture changes online shopping behavior, and how Japanese consumers often respond better to detail, trust, and brand story than flashy simplification. They also cover how lower tool adoption has created a unique opening for sellers using Helium 10 and Pacvue to gain an advantage in research, ads, and category analysis.   The episode then shifts into advertising and AI, where Nate shares why automation can be powerful but also dangerous when used without the right data or business context. He explains why many AI tools optimize for surface-level ad metrics instead of true business growth, and how Pacvue approaches this differently by factoring in organic performance, incrementality, budgeting, and specialized AI agents. For brands trying to decide between Helium 10 and Pacvue, Nate gives a practical breakdown of who each platform is best suited for and how both fit into a smarter advertising strategy.   To close things out, the episode adds a fun personal angle with Japan travel hacks and regional recommendations beyond the usual tourist stops. From scenic train rides between Osaka and Kyoto to hidden gems like Aomori and Yamagata, this conversation blends marketplace strategy with cultural perspective in a way that makes the episode both useful and memorable. It is a valuable listen for any seller interested in international expansion, smarter advertising, and understanding how local market behavior can shape global opportunity.

In this episode, learn how to manage Amazon PPC more efficiently with smarter bid rules, better keyword discovery, and practical insights on when AI can actually improve your strategy. Managing Amazon PPC can feel overwhelming fast, especially once your account grows beyond a handful of campaigns. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton and Carrie Miller break down how they approach PPC in a practical, scalable, and rooted-in-real-seller-experience way. Instead of managing Amazon advertising through trial and error, they walk through the systems, prep work, and decision-making that help them manage hundreds of campaigns without spending all day inside Seller Central. One of the biggest takeaways is that great Amazon PPC starts before the first campaign ever goes live. Carrie explains why relying only on auto campaigns to discover keywords is often an expensive mistake, especially for new products. She shares how sellers can use competitor research, reverse ASIN lookups, and keyword validation to find terms that are both relevant and realistic to rank for. Rather than chasing the biggest keywords right away, the smarter move is often to start with lower-competition long-tail phrases, build traction there, and then work upward into broader, more competitive search terms. Bradley then shifts the conversation into how mature products can unlock new advertising opportunities through Search Query Performance data through Helium 10’s Search Query Analyzer tool, campaign structure, and keyword harvesting. He explains how to separate campaigns by purpose, such as performance, research, auto, and ASIN targeting, so each one plays a specific role. From there, winning keywords and ASINs can be moved into stronger manual campaigns, while poor performers can be paused or added as negatives where appropriate. The episode also covers dayparting, account audits, and budget adjustments for major events like Prime Day, giving sellers a framework for making smarter decisions instead of reacting blindly to spend. What makes this episode especially valuable is its focus on building repeatable Amazon PPC systems. Bradley explains how custom bid rules in Helium 10 Ads help him gradually lower ACoS, protect profitable keywords, and manage a large account in a fraction of the time manual optimization would take. He also shares when AI makes sense and when it does not, arguing that smaller sellers often need structure more than automation. The bigger message is clear: successful Amazon advertising is not about constantly tinkering or throwing money at campaigns. It is about having the right foundation, the right data, and the discipline to optimize with intention. For sellers who want more control, more efficiency, and better long-term Amazon PPC performance, this episode delivers a roadmap worth applying right away. In episode 514 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley and Carrie discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - Why PPC Success Starts Before Launching Campaigns 03:11 - How Carrie Finds Realistic Keywords To Target 08:01 - Prime Day Keyword Research Using Historical Data 09:46 - Finding Out-Of-Stock Competitors For PPC Insights 11:55 - Using Search Query Performance For Mature Products 18:34 - Bradley’s Amazon PPC Campaign Structure 21:44 - Keyword Harvesting From Auto And Broad Campaigns 26:42 - Negative Keyword Rules And Pausing Poor Targets 31:19 - Helium 10 Ads: Bid Templates, Dayparting, And PPC Account Audits 38:39 - How To Increase Budgets For Prime Day And Big Events 40:06 - Bradley’s Custom Bid Rule Strategy For Lowering ACoS 50:02 - When AI Advertising Makes Sense For Sellers 57:08 - Case Study: Lowering ACoS With Rule-Based PPC Management

Do you love the idea of exiting your business after a big payday? Surprisingly, today’s guest made it happen through prioritizing work/life balance. What if the next $10,000 in your business is not coming from a new product, but from better use of the tools you already have? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley Sutton and Shivali Patel break down 10 practical strategies to help Amazon sellers recover lost profits, improve visibility, and uncover overlooked opportunities in Helium 10. From launch tactics and keyword research to ad optimization and competitor tracking, this episode is packed with ideas sellers can apply right away.   One of the biggest themes in this episode is that small adjustments can create outsized results. Bradley shares how using Amazon Recommended Rank in Cerebro can reveal whether Amazon actually understands what your product is before a full launch. Shivali shows how a packaging change as small as 0.08 inches can reduce fulfillment fees and add thousands in profit over time. They also explain how sellers can use Helium 10 tools like Keyword Tracker boosts, Search Query Analyzer, and automated competitor insights to stop guessing and start making more informed decisions with their ads, listings, and keyword targeting.   The episode also highlights how sellers can think beyond Amazon alone. Bradley explains why TikTok Shop is becoming too important to ignore and shows how creators can drive sales both on TikTok and back to Amazon. Shivali then walks through how Listing Builder’s 8-in-1 keyword research workflow and AI-assisted listing creation can help sellers build more strategic, data-backed listings faster. Altogether, the episode makes a strong case that growth does not always require more effort. Sometimes it comes from using the right features the right way.   The strongest takeaway is simple: strategies do not make money unless you actually implement them. This episode is a reminder that many sellers are already sitting on untapped profit opportunities. Whether it is trimming wasted ad spend, finding new converting keywords, tracking competitors more intelligently, or uncovering hidden product opportunities, the sellers who win are the ones who take action. Pick two strategies from this episode, put them into practice, and you might be surprised how quickly the numbers move.
