    #524 - Claude AI For Amazon Sellers

    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. In episode 524 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Andrew, and Zoe discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 02:58 - Claude Vs. ChatGPT: What Amazon Sellers Should Know 04:33 - Claude Chat, Co-Work, And Code Explained 08:31 - Using Claude Skills Like Repeatable SOPs 12:49 - Turning Keyword Research Into Excel Workflows 16:18 - Product Truth Cards And Keyword Relevance Checks 19:02 - Helium 10 MCP And Faster AI Workflows 20:12 - Simple Life Automation Ideas With Claude 25:59 - Zoe’s Beginner Guide To Getting Started 29:02 - Building A “Brain” Folder For Better Outputs 35:23 - Tasks, Projects, Scheduled Agents, And Dashboards 42:31 - Q&A: Helium 10 Claude Connector, Agents, And Claude Workflows

    #522 - 15 Prime Day & AI Strategies to Maximize Amazon Sales – Part 2

    Part 2 of this Prime Day series uncovers the AI, Rufus, retargeting, inventory, and deal strategies Amazon sellers may be overlooking before the big event. In part 2 of this two-part Prime Day strategy series, Shivali Patel and Carrie Miller bring together another lineup of Amazon, advertising, AI, logistics, and e-commerce experts to share what sellers should be doing before, during, and after major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day. This episode goes beyond basic discounting and looks at the bigger picture: retargeting high-intent shoppers, optimizing listings for both A9 and Rufus, improving product images, planning inventory, and using external traffic to create more sales opportunities.   The conversation starts with PPC and listing optimization strategies with Vincenzo Toscano, including how to build Sponsored Display campaigns around shoppers who viewed your products but did not buy, analyze competitor reviews with Helium 10, and track share of voice to spot openings when competitors lose visibility. Andrew Bell also walks through Helium 10’s AI Listing Optimizer, showing how sellers can use product images, buyer questions, keywords, and Rufus-focused prompts to create listings that are both searchable and conversion-friendly.   This second installment also dives into overlooked growth channels outside of Amazon. Norm Farrar’s strategy about how sellers should learn how Google Business Profile posts, offers, events, press releases, and deal communities can help drive traffic before, during, and after Prime Day. On the operations side, Burak Yolga explains why inventory check-in timing can make or break a sales event, and why sellers should think carefully about FBA placement, reimbursement audits, FBM backup listings, and omnichannel expansion.   To close out this two-part series, more experts like, Anthony Cofranceso, Mansour Norouzi, Tomer Rabinovich, and Josh Hadley share more ways to make smarter decisions with data and AI, from Prime Day deal structures and post-event remarketing to variation research, customer reporting, hiring workflows, and Market Tracker 360. Whether you are preparing for Prime Day, launching new variations, improving your product detail page, or protecting profit margins, this episode shows how the right preparation can turn a short-term shopping event into long-term brand growth.

    #520 - 15 Prime Day & AI Strategies to Maximize Amazon Sales – Part 1

    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

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?
