    The most common Amazon questions I’ve been asked this year

    To wrap up the year, I’m looking back at the most common questions I’ve been asked by sellers during Power Hours, training sessions and conversations this year. These questions come up time and time again, whether someone’s just getting started or already established. In this episode, I cover: Why your listing might not be showing up in searchHow to get your first reviews (and what not to do)When to start running ads, and how to keep them effectiveThe best way to launch a new productWhen it makes sense to expand to other marketplaces I also reflect on what these questions tell us about where sellers are right now — and how much progress so many have made this year. If you’ve had any of these questions yourself, you’re not alone. And if you’d like ongoing help with your Amazon strategy, I share how we can work together one-to-one in 2026.

    If you’re growing a product business or running an e-commerce brand, this conversation with Christy Llewellyn from Loste Nails is full of honest, practical insights you’ll really connect with. Born from a frustration with flimsy press-ons and overpriced salon appointments, we set out to create something better: nails that look like gel, wear like gel, but don’t chip, split, or wreck your natural nails. Oh, and the best part? They are fully reusable. Loste is a new kind of press-on. Crafted with 5-layer, soft gel technology, our nails are ultra-strong, ultra-glossy, and long lasting. No UV. No damage. Each set comes with everything you need for a flawless application in five minutes, whether you’re getting ready for a night out or applying them poolside on holiday. Christy built her reusable press-on nail brand from scratch — no contacts, no big budget — and shares exactly what it’s really like to develop a product, market it, and keep going when things constantly change. In this episode, you’ll learn:How a simple personal frustration can spark a whole product ideaWhat bootstrapping a physical product looks like behind the scenesWhat’s actually working in product marketing right nowHow small brands can stand out without competing on priceThe power of repeating your brand story This is a relatable, encouraging episode that’ll leave you inspired to keep going, keep showing up, and keep telling your story.
