    #746- TikTok Live, Shopify, & Reddit Playbook for Amazon Brands

    In this episode, our guest shares how his men’s underwear company grew to 8-figures using Amazon, TikTok Live, Shopify, Reddit, product drops, and a customer-driven brand strategy. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Jared Mortensen, founder of Real Men Apparel Company. Jared’s journey is anything but traditional. After growing up in a small town in Southern Utah, spending 20 years in aerospace, and later helping scale an e-commerce pet product company, he made an unexpected leap into men’s underwear. What started as a niche product idea became an eight-figure brand built around solving an underserved problem in men’s apparel: better fit, comfort, and size inclusivity. Jared shares how he used research, Amazon reviews, and Helium 10 tools to identify a specific customer pain point and launch into a highly competitive category dominated by billion-dollar brands. Instead of immediately competing for broad keywords like “men’s underwear,” he focused on long-tail keywords, underserved customer segments, and highly specific product benefits. Real Men Apparel Company hit $1 million in sales within its first calendar year, eventually growing to $8.5 million in 2025 across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok. Jared also explains how a 40% return customer rate, strong branded search, and memorable branding helped the company gain momentum in a crowded market. A major focus of the episode is Jared’s unique TikTok Live, Shopify, and Reddit strategy. TikTok Live began as a necessity during a serious cash crunch in late 2023, but it quickly became one of the brand’s most powerful growth engines. Jared explains how going live with just an iPhone, ring lights, and a simple setup helped save the business, generate fast cash flow, and create a major halo effect on Amazon and Shopify. He also shares how the brand uses TikTok content across Meta, builds email and SMS lists, works with over 2,000 affiliates, and uses live streams to build a loyal community where customers interact directly with the founder and even influence future products. Jared also breaks down how his Reddit strategy has become a long-term brand-building and AI search play. Rather than creating a subreddit focused solely on his own brand, he built a broader men’s underwear review community where customers, competitors, and shoppers can discuss products openly. He explains how this transparency builds credibility, drives high-intent traffic to Shopify, and helps position the brand in conversations that may influence future AI recommendations. The episode closes with Jared’s plans to grow from $11 million to $12 million in annual sales, expand Shopify, continue weekly limited-product drops, and deepen supplier relationships. For Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Shopify sellers, Jared’s story is a reminder that, even in a crowded category, the right niche, product, community, and content engine can create a brand customers keep coming back to.

    #745 - Their 8-Figure Amazon & TikTok Shop Brand

    A husband-and-wife team shares how they survived crushing setbacks, pivoted beyond Amazon, and built a $20 million brand with smart product pivots, TikTok Shop, and resilience. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What does it look like to go from barely being able to pay the bills to building a $20 million business? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Josh and Becca Hadley, the husband-and-wife team behind Hadley Designs, to unpack the journey from side hustle beginnings to a multi-eight-figure brand. Their story starts with custom wedding invitations, a few early Amazon experiments, and a whole lot of late nights spent building together after work. Josh and Becca explain how their different strengths helped shape the business from day one. Becca brought the creative talent, teaching herself graphic design and designing every product herself, while Josh brought the entrepreneurial drive and business strategy. Their first real breakthrough came when they turned their invitation design experience into physical products, launching recipe cards on Amazon and quickly realizing they had something much bigger than a small side project. But their path was anything but smooth. When COVID hit, their party-focused business dried up almost overnight, forcing them into a painful but necessary pivot. That shift led them into the early education space, where a new line of preschool posters completely changed the trajectory of their brand. Then, years later, another financial crunch pushed them to rethink growth again, leading them to TikTok Shop, where they found success by building real relationships with creators instead of chasing one-off influencer posts. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and long-term thinking. Josh and Becca prove that growth does not come from avoiding hard seasons, but from responding to them with creativity, focus, and action. Whether you are trying to survive your next setback or scale beyond Amazon, this conversation shows that the biggest breakthroughs often come right after the moments when quitting feels easiest. In episode 745 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Becca, and Josh discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - Josh And Becca’s Background And How They Met 03:00 - Early Marriage, Day Jobs, And Learning Graphic Design 04:20 - Josh’s First Amazon Experience Selling Textbooks 05:47 - How Wedding Invitations Became A Real Business 07:09 - Launching Recipe Cards On Amazon And Selling Out 08:25 - Their First Full Year On Amazon Hit $1 Million 11:17 - Why Josh Stayed At American Airlines For Five Years 12:27 - How COVID Forced A Massive Brand Pivot 15:49 - Building A $20 Million Business Across Platforms 17:09 - The $300K Credit Card Bill That Changed Everything 20:29 - Why TikTok Shop Became Their Next Growth Engine 22:08 - Building An Affiliate Army Instead Of Chasing Influencers 29:46 - Balancing Four Kids, Full-Time Work, And Marriage 31:42 - How Helium 10 And Data Guide Their Growth Strategy 41:53 - Josh’s Framework For Scaling Beyond Amazon

    #744 - The Truth About Competing With Chinese Sellers

    A seller in an unexpected niche and a Chinese entrepreneur who once farmed in Africa reveal how Chinese Amazon sellers think, launch products, build brands, and compete today. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with two China-based Amazon sellers whose stories are anything but ordinary. Freeman Cui is a Helium 10 employee and seven-figure seller who first saw Amazon’s potential while working around the bondage products niche, while Yohan’s path to e-commerce began after farming in Namibia. Their backgrounds are unusual, but the lessons they share are highly relevant for any seller trying to understand the global Amazon landscape. Freeman gives listeners an inside look at how many Chinese sellers really operate today. He openly discusses the reputation Chinese sellers have for black hat tactics, but explains that the environment is changing fast. Account crackdowns, tax pressure, and a more mature Amazon marketplace are forcing more sellers to think long-term. He also breaks down how he built a seven-figure business while working a full-time job, leaning on diversification, smart keyword targeting, and careful ad spend instead of trying to chase only the biggest keywords. Yohan brings a completely different perspective. After years in Africa working first as a translator and then as a farmer, he returned to China in 2020 and got pulled into e-commerce by the freedom it offered. He shares how he helped grow the Bont brand, why roller skate wheels became a winning product, and how he approaches launches today through a mix of Amazon PPC, website traffic, and social media promotion. Like Freeman, he stresses that long-term brand building matters far more than shortcuts. What makes this episode stand out is how both guests flip the usual narrative. Instead of only talking about why Western sellers fear Chinese competition, they explain what Chinese sellers admire about US and European brands: better storytelling, stronger marketing, and deeper customer understanding. The message is clear: the future belongs to sellers who build real brands, know their audience, and play the long game. This episode is a reminder that strategy, not stereotypes, is what wins on Amazon. In episode 744 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Freeman, and Yohan discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:30 - Bradley Sutton Introduces The China Special 01:13 - Freeman Cui’s Background In Advertising And E-Commerce 03:03 - How Freeman First Got Into Amazon 04:17 - Starting An Amazon Brand During COVID 05:20 - Freeman’s Role At Helium 10 And China Seller Insights 06:22 - The Truth About Black Hat Tactics In China 07:49 - Tax Crackdowns And Compliance Challenges For Chinese Sellers 09:13 - Freeman’s Marketplace Expansion And 7-Figure Growth 11:04 - Freeman’s Amazon Launch Strategy And Keyword Targeting 14:33 - What Chinese Sellers Fear About U.S. Brands 17:18 - Yohan’s Journey From Farming In Namibia To Amazon 20:23 - Yohan’s First Products And Building The Bond Brand 22:18 - How Yohan Uses Helium 10 To Launch And Track Products 24:29 - Yohan’s Product Launch Strategy Using PPC And Social Media 28:26 - Factory Concerns, Brand Building, And Protecting Market Share 29:27 - What Chinese Sellers Admire About American Sellers

    #743 - From Childhood Friends To An 8-Figure Amazon Matcha Brand

    How do you turn a niche product into an 8-figure Amazon brand? The founders of Naoki Matcha share the branding, keyword, and supply chain decisions that helped them scale worldwide. :moneybag: Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What does it look like when two childhood friends turn a side hustle into an eight-figure global brand? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Samuel Loo and Singchuen Chiam, the co-founders of Naoki Matcha, to unpack how they went from selling generic glass teapots to building one of the most recognizable matcha brands on Amazon. Their story starts in Singapore, stretches into Japan’s tea-producing regions, and becomes a masterclass in patience, product-market fit, and long-term brand building. Sam and Sing did not stumble into success overnight. Their first products were fragile, generic, and easy to copy, forcing them to rethink the kind of business they really wanted to build. That search led them to matcha, a category with higher barriers to entry and far greater complexity than a typical private-label product. Instead of sourcing from a marketplace and calling it a day, they had to knock on digital doors, travel to Japan, build supplier relationships, refine taste profiles, and learn how to create a product customers would come back for again and again. Their growth was slow at first, but their commitment to quality and feedback gave them a durable edge. As the brand grew, so did its sophistication. They expanded from Amazon into other marketplaces, built teams across Singapore and Japan, invested heavily in in-house creative, and began thinking beyond Amazon PPC into upper-funnel channels like Meta, DSPs, and TikTok. They also shared how Naoki Matcha navigated the recent matcha shortage without major price hikes, using strong supplier relationships and careful supply chain planning to stay in stock while competitors struggled. It is a reminder that real brand power is not just built through ads and listings, but through trust, consistency, and operational depth. This episode is a powerful example of what can happen when founders play the long game. Sam and Sing did not chase shortcuts. They built slowly, learned deeply, and stayed obsessed with product quality as they scaled into an eight-figure business. For sellers who want to move beyond quick wins and build something that lasts, this conversation shows that the biggest advantage is not speed. It is discipline, vision, and the willingness to keep improving long after the first sale. In episode 743 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Sam, and Sing discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - Meet The Founders Of Naoki Matcha 03:25 - Their First Amazon Product Before Matcha 04:28 - Why They Chose Matcha As The Long-Term Play 07:18 - Slow Early Growth And The Mindset That Kept Them Going 08:40 - Finding Japanese Suppliers Through “Digital Door Knocking” 10:23 - Expanding From Amazon USA To Other Marketplaces 12:30 - Why TikTok And Brand.com Are The Next Growth Channels 14:42 - The In-House Creative Strategy Behind The Brand 16:31 - How They Navigated The Matcha Supply Shortage 21:20 - Upper Funnel Marketing And Growing Branded Search 35:04 - Supply Chain Control, Factory Relationships, And Future Growth Enjoy this episode?

    #742 - An 8-Figure Amazon Seller From China Tells All

    An 8-figure seller in China reveals what US sellers get wrong about Chinese competition, black-hat tactics, global expansion, and the data-driven moves behind his Amazon growth. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What is really happening behind the scenes with top Chinese Amazon sellers? In this episode, Bradley travels to Shenzhen, China, to sit down with Bennett, an eight-figure seller who shares a rare inside look at how serious Amazon sellers in China are building and scaling brands. Helping guide the conversation is Freeman Cui from Helium 10’s Shenzhen office, who serves as Bennett’s translator throughout the interview. From launching his first cleaning product in 2017 to growing one brand to $15 million in annual sales, Bennett breaks down the mindset, systems, and strategies behind his success. One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation is Bennett’s take on black hat tactics. He confirms that those tactics still exist but says Amazon is making it harder for bad actors to survive in the long term. His belief is that the future belongs to compliant sellers who focus on quality products, strong branding, and long-term stability. That alone makes this episode a must-listen for sellers who assume all Chinese competitors play the same game. Bennett also opens up about how his team uses data to make smarter decisions across product research, market expansion, keyword strategy, and advertising. He shares how Helium 10 tools like Market Tracker 360, Search Query Analyzer, Cerebro, and Helium 10 Ads help his team spot trends, avoid bad opportunities, optimize PPC, and launch products with more precision. He also walks through how they research trends from Amazon, Etsy, customer feedback, and even physical retail stores. This episode is packed with practical insights on global expansion, AI-driven advertising, and product launches, but it also gives listeners something more valuable: perspective. Bennett explains why Brazil could be one of the biggest untapped Amazon opportunities, why patience is one of his company’s unfair advantages, and why his team is aiming to grow from $15 million to $50 million in the coming years. If you want to understand how elite Chinese sellers actually think, this episode pulls back the curtain. In episode 742 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley, Bennett, and Freeman discuss: 00:00 - Why Chinese Sellers Envy US And European Sellers 00:41 - Meeting Bennett In Shenzhen, China 01:04 - Bennett’s Background And First Amazon Product 02:17 - Building A $15 Million Cleaning Brand 02:52 - How He Uses Market Tracker 360 To Find Opportunities 04:12 - A Product Win And A Market Shift That Saved Money 05:50 - The Truth About Black Hat Tactics In China 07:48 - How Search Query Analyzer Changed His PPC Strategy 10:07 - Three Unique Strategies Behind His 8-Figure Growth 12:28 - Why Brazil Is His Top Expansion Market 14:02 - How He Uses AI Advertising And Where It Still Falls Short 17:53 - His New Product Launch Strategy And $50 Million Goal

    #741 - Building Amazon Brands And Buying More Of Them

    A law student launched painter’s tape on Amazon, built a mid-7-figure business, bought another brand, and found a surprise TikTok Shop shortcut he almost paid extra for. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down in Long Island City with Shaff Qureshi, a New York-born entrepreneur who built a mid-seven-figure Amazon business after launching with something as simple as painter’s tape. What started as a side hustle during law school quickly became a serious business, even though his immigrant parents initially hoped he would follow a more traditional career path. Shaff shares how he discovered Amazon through a friend connected to a retail business, saw the opportunity early, and jumped in while still in school. The conversation follows his progression from that first painter’s tape launch in 2019 to building multiple brands, including his planner and journal brand, Insight. He explains why he stayed focused on growing in the U.S. instead of expanding internationally too soon, and how that discipline helped him keep scaling year after year. Shaff also talks about recently acquiring part of a larger educational poster brand, revealing that his long-term vision is not just to sell products, but to build a portfolio of household brands. A major highlight of the episode is Shaff’s detailed breakdown of how he launches and grows products. He discusses using auto campaigns aggressively at launch, driving outside traffic from Google, Meta, and email, and relying on keyword rankings as the core success metric for his team. He also explains how Helium 10 tools like Search Query Analyzer, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads help his business track market size, measure ranking retention, and identify which ad types are actually driving efficient results. Shaff also shares lessons from both painful losses and unexpected wins. He talks about taking on a large loan for a product expansion that underperformed, and how that failure forced him to improve his systems and decision-making. On the other hand, one supplier mistake accidentally created a product variation customers loved, which became a breakout success. The episode also touches on his TikTok Shop expansion plans, including how Helium 10 Diamond saved him from adding more software subscriptions by already including influencer outreach tools he was about to pay extra for. In episode 741 of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley and Shaff discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - Shaff’s New York And Pakistan Background 02:30 - Law School, Family Influence, And Starting A Business 04:05 - Why His Parents Doubted Amazon At First 05:17 - How He First Discovered The Amazon Opportunity 06:45 - Launching Painter’s Tape In 2019 08:28 - Building Insight And Growing Multiple Brands 10:06 - Revenue Breakdown, TikTok Shop, And U.S. Marketplace Focus 11:32 - Buying Another Brand And Building A Portfolio 12:28 - How He Uses Helium 10 For Growth And KPIs 15:19 - His Product Launch Strategy And Off-Amazon Traffic 24:18 - Biggest Losses, Surprise Wins, And TikTok Shop Software Savings

    #740 - From Face Masks To 7-Figure Fashion Brand Success

    Her first big Amazon win should have ended when the pandemic did.

She started selling stylish face masks on Amazon and Etsy during the pandemic, quickly gaining traction as demand surged. That early success gave her the confidence to pursue entrepreneurship full-time and showed her what was possible when she combined market timing with fast execution. When the face mask boom faded, Shanshan had to reinvent the business. She pivoted into women’s clothing accessories, especially tights and stockings, and used a volume-based launch strategy to find winning products. Instead of betting everything on one item, she launched multiple products at once, knowing only a percentage would succeed. That approach helped her grow Millennials in Motion into a high six-figure brand that is now on track for seven figures. Throughout the episode, Shan Shan explains how Helium 10 became central to her growth. She used Helium 10 tools like Cerebro, Keyword Tracker, Search Query Analyzer, Profits, and Ads to research products, track rankings, monitor profitability, and automate PPC decisions across more than 100 SKUs. She also shares how she manages a highly seasonal catalog, controls cash flow, and makes launch decisions with lean budgets. Another major theme is speed through AI. Shan Shan talks about using AI tools like Nano Banana to improve listing images and boost click-through rates, while also using ChatGPT to help create optimized listings at scale. Her story is a strong example of how sellers can adapt when markets change, use data to reduce risk, and build a real brand by staying flexible and moving quickly!

    #739 - Two Dubai Ecommerce Seller Success Stories

    From Project X to seven figures, and from clean snacking to Amazon UAE growth, two e-commerce sellers from Dubai share lessons on product research, branding, and scaling. 💰Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton sits down in Dubai with two entrepreneurs building businesses in very different ways. Abdallah Hesham shares how he went from two failed Amazon products and thousands of dollars in losses to building a seven-figure brand inspired by Project X strategies. He explains how shifting away from basic low-review product hunting and toward deeper niche research, smarter validation, and stronger differentiation completely changed his results. Abdallah also breaks down the tactical side of his success, including how better listing images transformed a struggling product, why he believes sellers should chase winning categories instead of just winning products, and how he uses Helium 10 tools like Magnet, Cerebro, Index Checker, Keyword Tracker, and Listing Optimizer. He also shares a smart relaunch strategy for products coming back in stock, using pricing, coupons, exact-match campaigns, and lightning deals to rebuild momentum and recover rankings. Later, Bradley talks with Rashi Dewan, founder of Nothing Silly, a Dubai-based clean snack bar brand made with natural ingredients and no refined sugar, palm oil, or preservatives. Rashi shares how a personal passion for healthier eating turned into a business opportunity after she struggled to find truly clean snack bars on store shelves. From slow first-month sales on Shopify to steady growth on Amazon UAE and a new retail placement, her story highlights the power of conviction, branding, and persistence. Together, both guests show that whether you are building an Amazon brand or launching a food product from scratch, long-term success comes from spotting real demand, staying resilient through setbacks, and actually putting smart strategies into action. This episode is a reminder that success rarely starts with instant wins. Sometimes it begins with failed launches, slow first sales, tough lessons, and the willingness to keep refining. Whether you connect more with Abdallah Hesham’s Amazon comeback or Rashi Dewan’s passion-driven product journey, the takeaway is the same: real growth happens when you stop chasing shortcuts, trust the process, and execute with purpose.
