Scott Needham’s Podcast episode Accio.com Helium10 Video SeriesQuestions:
I’ve been trying to think of a baby product that’s missing in the market and feel like I’ve found one but the exact thing doesn’t exist. If I wanted to create it, can you/your agency help with checking the demand and with designing it? Are you willing to price lower on TikTok than on Amazon? I'm afraid to price lower and potentially hurt Amazon ranking. Question for the Q&A: what is your recommendation for sourcing outside of China? Do you still recommend using Alibaba or are there other platforms that are better for other countries? How do you manage the returns that come back to your house. I feel like I am only getting a small portion of what Amazon is telling me they sent. I remember you mentioned at some point that you’re putting your agency focus towards the clothing side of Amazon. Would you still help with other categories?⬇️ Click to view my available resources!

Trump's election Amazon’s Shopping AI Is Confident and WrongQuestions:
I want to give a scenario in which in my first month selling I had $850 in sales for my product. I spent $75 on PPC advertising and Amazon fees were a shocking $474. That left me with a profit of $305. Can you explain at what point do these numbers start to switch where Amazon fees are not higher than your profit. I assume it's as simple as selling more product, however, I also feel like the more product I sell these Amazon fees are just going to stay higher. Maybe it's girl math :) but makes me feel stuck. I didn't know if you could help me make sense of the numbers.⬇️ Click to view my available resources!

Since 2015, I’ve relied on Jungle Scout to stay ahead of trends, analyze competitors, find profitable products, and source suppliers. It’s been my go-to tool for years, but as the Amazon marketplace evolves, so must the tools we use.
In this episode, I’m making a big switch—from Jungle Scout to Helium10. Over the past year, I’ve found that Helium10 offers a broader range of features that better align with the current challenges of selling on Amazon. Join me as I dive into why this tool switch makes sense for my business and how Helium10 can provide even more value to Amazon sellers today.

Eventually I want to sell on Shopify where I can do TikTok Shop, etc. is there something I should consider now when setting up my website? I don't want to have to back track. When would you suggest we start selling on other platforms if we just launched on Amazon 4 months ago? Also, how do we go about doing that? Do you just have thousands of inventory at your house? It sounds like a big investment and something that would be hard to juggle. Does your agency help? Can you talk about the port strike and the potential impact to launching my product in the next few months?

Questions answered on today's call:
When submitting a newly invented and unique product to the Vine program, are the Vine reviewers given your listing so they can see the description of your product?
Although this first shipment of my product was more than exciting, after a few days of repackaging, labeling, and what ended up me having to take all the boxes that were pretty heavy to UPS myself, proved a little bit more difficult than I can do physically on my own, especially when I am already planning a next large order. I did not find anything wrong with this order so I feel like it would be OK to send straight to Amazon next time. Although I am not worried about my manufacturer messing up my product right now, I am worried about how they would ship it to FBA warehouses and whether that would be done right. My question is do you take the risk and pray for the best to send the products straight to Amazon?
