Carrie Miller: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers podcast by Helium 10. I'm going to be your host today. My name is Carrie Miller and this is our Walmart Wednesday, where we talk about all things Walmart. I answer questions we have. Sometimes we have guests, we do demos about how to utilize Walmart and how to sell on Walmart. Let's go ahead and get into it. I'm going to go ahead and get into some interesting information. Carrie Miller: Today I actually went to the Walmart conference. I think it was about two weeks ago. There were some interesting updates there and I wanted to share them with you, just in case you weren't there. There were about 1,500 sellers there. It wasn't invite only, but hopefully in the future it'll be open to more sellers, because that would be, I think it's a really great opportunity not only to learn from Walmart, but also to meet other Walmart sellers and get encouraged and see how everyone else is doing. Carrie Miller: The first thing that I want to talk about is that they're actually opening another marketplace, which is really exciting, because that means more opportunity for sellers. The first marketplace is obviously the US. We also have Canada, Mexico and now Chile. If you ever had any interest in selling in South America, they are opening a marketplace up in Chile. That's a great opportunity there if you're able to do that. Another thing I wanted to share is that they actually mentioned that they are still rolling out brand stores. If you haven't gotten access to it, don't fret, because they should be giving access to everyone soon. They're slowly rolling it out, just like they did with WFS, and they slowly just added people to those. Just keep an eye on that so that you can start creating your store just like they have on Amazon. You can put all of your products in there and showcase your brand. All they have to do customer has to do is click on your brand name on your actual listings. Carrie Miller: The next thing that I have on my agenda here is that they also mentioned that they are going to allow same day pickup. The same day pickup basically means for anyone who is a local store owner, If you have a brick and mortar store, that m

We did this reality TV show, vibe program, where we showed you every step of the way how we were able to find products, get them launched, optimize them and then scale them up in the feature. Ever since that show maybe three years ago, four years ago now we did that We've been maintaining those products, not doing that great of a job because we're not full-time Amazon sellers here. I try and run this in my spare time. That's part of what we're going to be talking about today is I've been neglecting some of these products and sales have gone way down. That's what we're going to be talking about today is do you have a product that maybe you've neglected, maybe you haven't been neglecting it, but sales are way down? It's a product that's one or two years old and you're just not doing as well as you did in the past. What are the

Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast by Helium 10. I’m your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Monthly Ask Me Anything that actually goes live to our Serious Sellers Club members. It gives you a little taste of what we do inside our Serious Sellers Club every every week we’re gonna be going over some pretty cool stuff today. Bradley Sutton: That’s mainly gonna be about some data points that a lot of sellers are not using. You know, even sellers that have Helium 10, you know, obviously seems like everybody nowadays is using Helium 10, right? But these are some things that in kind of studies I guess you can say, or my networking, I definitely know that a lot of sellers are not using. So anyways, we are talking today about unique data points, all right? And one of them, like, ah, to be honest, I was like planning to kind of talk about this more on special episode 500 of the podcast. You know, how we always do the big numbers. I’m actually flying to the Maldives to do it, so we’ll talk about how it affects the Maldives honeymoon period. But I was like, you know what, I’m gonna give this group a a treat. Bradley Sutton: We’re gonna talk about. We’re not gonna wait till October, episode 500 is not happening until October. We’re gonna go through this a little bit of it. Now, I’m not gonna spill the whole beans, but probably I don’t wanna like, you know, give false hope or here or anything, but this is like, it’s gonna end up being a pretty impactful, if not epic game changing thing to look at that nobody’s looking at right now because of the way the Amazon algorithm has kind of adapted over time. It’s a completely unique way to really kind of understand why your products aren’t getting PPC impressions, why you can’t seem to rank for new products or even mature products where you just, you know, like, you know, you’re converting well, but for some reason Amazon does not, does not show you highly for this keyword.

And this is the show that is our recap of our Fireside Chat that we had with Amazon. Now, these are the people at Amazon who actually work in the departments and are responsible for Search Query Performance, Brand Analytics, Product Opportunity Explorer. And for the first time ever, Amazon is kind of like opening up the hood and letting everybody know like how these different data points are to be used. So this is definitely something that is gonna be very informational and we wanted to make sure that you guys got the best highlights of it.

Julia: Yeah, so my title at Amazon is a senior growth consultant. I’ve been at the company for about a little over two years now. And I get to work with our awesome analytics tools that you were just talking about. So excited to be here. Bradley Sutton: Talk about what we’re seeing here a little bit, Julia. Julia: Yeah, so this is a screenshot, I believe it’s from your Project X account for Manny’s Mysterious Oddities Coffin Shelf brand, the famous coffin shelf. So you can see we have where the customer starts and where they end going from impressions, clicks, card ads, and purchases. And in this case, just to clarify, purchases means orders. So what’s really cool is you can see for each of those four metrics what your brand count is, or how many of each metric your brand’s ASINs received versus Amazon as a whole or total count. So you can start to really get a sense of what mark your market share is for a specific search term over different time, sorry, over different timeframes. You can also see where the customer’s dropping off across the funnel. So in our case, you know, if I’m adding to my cart and not coming back to it, I might drop off before I see purchases show up. So maybe you have high click share, but a customer isn’t necessarily transitioning to adding your product to their cart. You can start to think of different strategies on how to entice them to move forward, you know, towards a purchase. Mm-Hmm. <Affirmative> maybe it’s a coupon, maybe it’s getting more defensive with y

Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers podcast by Helium 10. I’m your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our monthly Ask Me Anything and training. So welcome one and all to the show. We’re gonna be going over how to analyze listings, especially maybe you’re gonna get into a niche or maybe you want to compare yourself to your competitors. So a quick way to look at their keyword strategy, their listing optimization strategy, and in my opinion, almost more importantly, or one of the most important ones is their image strategy as well. Bradley Sutton: Without further ado, I’m gonna, I’m gonna hop in here. Have your product in mind. Find your top keyword on Amazon where you are on page one. Alright, let me show you guys. I obviously picked Coffin Shelf, you know, for me, and I ran X-ray on the page. All right. Now the very first item you pick, I want you to pick your product. All right, so I chose our coffin shelf first and Manny’s Mysterious Oddities Coffin Shelf. You guys see that here? I put a check mark and then I want you to choose like 5 or 6, 4, 5, 6, whatever of your main competitors. All right? So I’m you’ll notice here that I am not choosing like these makeup shelves because to me, that’s not my competitor. Are they competing with me on page one for my main keyword? Yes, but I think that that customer avatar is a little bit different. Bradley Sutton: I’m just trying to hyperfocus what my direct competitors are doing. So, so black coffin shelves is what I’m choosing, and it has to be very similar and, and form function and price. And I, I want it to be selling a little bit. Like I’m not gonna, I’m not gonna choose, oh, I didn’t choose this guy here. I should have chose him. He’s selling like 147 units, but I’m not gonna choose some of these. Some of these others, matter of fact, I might run this again. The, some of these other guys are actually selling some decent amounts of units. Well, that gothic life, I already had, let me see, I didn’t choose this one here. Spooky look, spooky looky life. All right, come on guys. With these, with these, some of these brand names that people are choosing are, are not great. Bradley Sutton: All right? So once you guys have it chosen, let me know in the chat if you guys have about five or six or seven competitors. And then what I want you to hit is run Listing Analyzer. All right? Once you’ve got that hit Run Listing Analyzer, all right? And then it’s gonna open up Listing Analyzer in another window. So now you guys should all be looking at a screen that kind of looks like this. Now, if you had connected your Helium 10 account to to your Amazon account, you’re gonna have some extra information here, such as the Act, the actual sales of your product at the top of the screen right Now.

We’ll also be answering all of your Walmart questions. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Bradley Sutton: Want to enter in an Amazon keyword and then within seconds get up to thousands of potentially related keywords that you could research. Then you need Magnet by Helium 10. For more information, go to h10.me/magnet. Magnet works in most Amazon marketplaces, including usa, Mexico, Australia, Germany, UK, India, and much more Carrie Miller: This morning with Walmart Wednesday. I have some great stuff for you today, and I wanna talk to you a little bit about basically where Walmart gets their traffic. Okay? This is a kind of an interesting question because a lot of people wanna know, like, how can I get more customers on my Walmart page? Or how can I get more sales? And this is going to help you, I think, get a very good understanding of that. So the first thing is that most people are actually just shopping at Walmart. So there are, you know 90% of US households actually shop on Walmart. So if you can, you know, think about yourself, think about whether or not you shop on Walmart or if you go to Walmart you’ll know that there’s a lot of people already shopping at Walmart and they actually have an app. Carrie Miller: And many people, about 80% of people that are in the stores are actually using the app while they’re in the store, which is really cool. So there’s a lot of exposure there through the Walmart app where your products are. So that’s number one way is just because there are a lot of, you know, Walmart shoppers. The next way is Google. So I don’t know if any of you have noticed this if you’re already selling on Walmart, but your products actually, even if you’re not advertising, are showing up on Google. And the way that this happens is you optimize your listings for Google. And one of the ways to do that is to not keyword stuff. So on your title, if you’re following the guidelines that Walmart has set up for you to do this is going to help you quite a bit because the less keyword stuff you do, the more these search engines are gonna pick up your title and your product. Carrie Miller: So for example, here, this one is a Walmart product, you’ll see in the Google shopping, and it’s absolutely incredible because you’re not even paying for this and Walmart is, you know, doing this to help you get some exposure there. Also there are Bing searches. So not only Google searches, but anyone who’s using Bing as a search engine, you’re gonna be seeing Walmart ads there. So if you can see right here, we’ve got you know, a garlic press that’s being advertised under Garlic Press on the Bing search. So you’re showing up on Bing, you’re showing up on Google. So sometimes when you look at, so in, when you’re looking in Cerebro or Magnet for Walmart, which we have actual search volume on the Walmart app, you’re not actually seeing complete traffic because maybe people are coming in through, through Google. So you’re gonna, you know, see that 50% or so is what Walmart is saying is coming from outside traffic. Carrie Miller: So it’s really important to make sure you’re optimizing, maybe look up some Google Google Planner keywords, make sure you have some of those main keywords that ar

And I was inspired to go ahead and talk about the strategies that I talked about here at the Bali Conference and at the Billion Dollar Seller summit, most of which actually have to do with pre-launch. Alright, so I think you guys, you know, know about the Maldives honeymoon launch strategy. It incorporates, you know, a lot of pre-launch strategies, but I want to kind of like separate it out like how to get ready for an epic wedding and honeymoon, right? Maldives honeymoon in real life is potentially to have an epic bachelor or bachelorette party. I never had one. I didn’t, I didn’t do that. But, you know, I’m sure many of you have, and, and some people I read actually go to Bali for their bachelor party. Bradley Sutton: See the B theme here? So I’m like, you know what? Let’s just make this easy to remember. Let’s call this like the Bali Blast method. All right? You guys don’t have to call it that. It is what it is. It’s a strategy that helps you get ready for a good launch. All right? So you don’t have to call it the Bali blasts. I might not even call it the Bali blasts. I’m just throwing that out there cuz I’m here in, in Bali right now. But think about what makes a bachelor party really cool. Again, I don’t know because I’ve never, I’ve never even been to one, let alone had my own. But I would assume that hey it, it’s meant to be kind of like your, your last hurrah really set you up for you know, not missing your single days, right? Bradley Sutton: You’re ready to move on to the next phase, which is, you know, married life and first of course the honeymoon. Alright? So that’s kind of like the thought process behind this strategy too. Alright? It’s, we’re here in Bali, think of a bachelor party.

Usually they reimburse you for this, but sometimes they might miss things. That’s where Refund Genie comes in. What Helium Ten’s Refund Genie does is we go check out your reports and see if Amazon owes you any money, and then we give you the reports that you need to submit to Amazon so that you can get your money back. If you haven’t run this, you can have hundreds, if not thousands of dollars that Amazon might owe you, especially if you’ve never used this before and you sell a lot on Amazon.
