Amazon sellers, are you leaving money on the table by not activating Amazon’s Business Buy Box? In this episode, I’m joined by Adrian Rich from Seller Snap to discuss why business pricing, quantity discounts, and business-focused strategies can skyrocket your profits. Adrian reveals, "It’s a decision to make, but it’s such a big market that if you’re not offering discounts, you’re not offering an option to the market." Whether you’re scaling with reselling or private label, this conversation uncovers actionable strategies to optimize your listings with Amazon’s business tools.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/unlock-amazons-business-buy-box-the-secret-to-boosting-profits-sales-velocity-with-adrian-rich/
👉 Why offering business discounts might be the smartest move you’ve skipped
👉 The advantage of competing in Amazon’s Business Buy Box
👉 Using Seller Snap for automated, dynamic repricing
👉 Quick hacks for leveraging Amazon’s B2B features
Adrian explains how Amazon’s business pricing feature isn’t just about offering a slight discount—it’s about attracting serious business buyers who often purchase in bulk. We dig into the distinct buy box for business, which you might not even know exists. Imagine this: your product shows up as the best value in the business category, outshining competitors who don’t utilize business pricing. “If you’re selling on a listing with three other sellers, they don’t even know you have a business discount on," Adrian says, “and that edge is enough to get you the sale.”
We also talk about Seller Snap’s AI-powered repricing tool, which now automatically adjusts business pricing for you. Imagine less time on manual adjustments and more time focusing on growth. Adrian walks through strategies for tracking competitors while still maintaining strong margins—particularly useful if you’re a private label seller aiming to stand out in B2B.
Private label sellers, don’t miss the section where Adrian explains why adding quantity discounts can make your offer irresistible. Even in saturated categories, a few cents off per unit might convince customers to buy in bulk and boost your total sales. Tune in if you want to learn how these strategies can elevate your Amazon business!

Amazon Sellers, if you’re still laser-focused on ACoS and Tacos, you’re missing out. In today’s episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Greene, PPC strategist and founder of Junglr, to break down the real Amazon ad metrics you need for sustainable growth. This isn’t just about squeezing out an extra sale or two; it’s about learning how to allocate ad spend smartly to scale your brand.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/beyond-acos-unlock-amazon-ppc-success-with-elizabeth-greenes-top-strategies-for-2024/
Amazon Sellers, it’s time to rethink how you structure ad campaigns. Elizabeth dives into why grouping keywords in one campaign limits scalability and why separating by match types and ad groups is essential for long-term success. “If you throw all your keywords in one campaign, you’ll end up with a big structure that performs well—but you can’t scale it. You’re missing out on critical control.”
👉 Set up single campaigns for control
👉 Prioritize keywords by budget
👉 Use autos, broads, and exact matches strategically
👉 Track ad spend allocation by product
From understanding the hidden cost benefits of auto campaigns to learning the best ways to manage large SKU sets, this episode is loaded with insights you won’t find in traditional ad guides. Elizabeth reveals how optimizing ads for both profitability and market share can help keep your Amazon business cash-flow positive.
Want more insight into allocating ad spend by product? Elizabeth breaks down why it’s essential to look at ad spend by SKU and match it to performance: “If you’re spending 30% of your budget on a low-performing product, you’re losing money where you could be growing.”

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the financial side of your Amazon business, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Tyler lays out actionable tips on how to understand unit economics, why Return on Inventory Investment (ROI) matters more than profit margins, and how to avoid being buried in dead stock.
“Do I make money every time I sell a unit? We call that unit economics. When I sell a product, do I have a smile on my face afterward or do I have a frowny face?”
Amazon Sellers, it's time to take a hard look at your profitability. Tyler walks us through PAG (Post-Advertising Gross Profit) and explains why every seller needs to know their numbers inside and out if they want to succeed. Don’t get caught with bad data that could destroy your business. “Bad data is like driving blind—it can tank your cash flow fast.”
👉 Track your COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) alongside your advertising expenses
👉 Strong supplier relationships can save you thousands
👉 ROI is the key to determining the real health of your business
👉 Kill underperforming SKUs and double down on winners

Amazon Sellers, we’ve all heard horror stories about account suspensions and lost revenue, but do you know what mistakes could put your business at risk? In this week’s episode of Amazon Seller School, I sit down with Leah McHugh from eCommerce Chris to tackle the most critical issues sellers are facing today—bundle and variation compliance, AI tools, and how to avoid those dreaded Amazon suspensions.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/avoiding-amazon-account-suspensions-bundles-variations-and-ai-compliance-with-leah-mchugh/
Amazon is cracking down harder than ever on incorrect bundles and variations, and Leah gives us the inside scoop on what the platform is really enforcing. "Amazon’s always had this policy, but now we’re seeing more suspensions because brands are pushing back." Bundling your products the wrong way? You could be suspended before you even know what hit you.
Ever wonder how AI is playing a role in compliance? It's not always your friend. We dig into how Amazon’s AI is scanning listings and why it’s flagging some for suspension—even when the seller has done nothing wrong. If you've been using AI to handle compliance, you might want to think twice. "AI isn’t always the magic bullet sellers think it is."
👉 Get the right letter of authorization before bundling major brands. 🔹 👉 AI tools used for compliance often fall short, leading to more headaches.
👉 Amazon’s variation policy is extremely literal—one small mistake, and you’re at risk.
👉 Avoid suspension by following bundling guidelines to the letter.
Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned seller, this episode is packed with actionable insights that could save your Amazon business from costly mistakes. Don’t miss Leah’s expert advice on how to navigate Amazon’s tricky suspension landscape.

Amazon Sellers, ever wondered how to scale your business to 7 figures? This episode has the answers. I sat down with Yoni Kozminski, founder of MultiplyMii, who’s taken an Amazon business from $2 million to $5 million by leveraging top Filipino talent. It’s all about strategic hiring, smart delegation, and building efficient systems that keep you out of the weeds.
Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/scaling-your-amazon-business-with-top-filipino-talent-lessons-from-yoni-kozminski/

His approach isn’t just about getting tasks off your plate but also making sure the right people are doing the right jobs—based on skills, not just task lists. As Yoni puts it, “When you build task lists, you become the bottleneck of your own business. Instead, delegate based on skills and accountability.”
Amazon Sellers, if you’ve hit that $500K to $1 million mark, this episode is packed with gems to push you to the next level. You’ll hear why building out a company wiki and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) is a game-changer. Yoni explains, “A company wiki is self-serve. It keeps you from getting sucked into every single task and lets your team grow independently.”
Key highlights from the episode
👉: Build a team around specific skills, not tasks.
👉: Filipino talent offers excellent value—Yoni’s top hires include graphic designers, PPC experts, and web developers.
👉: Pay structure matters. Benefits like paid holidays and bonuses help you attract and retain top talent.
Whether you're looking to scale or exit, this episode covers it all. Yoni dives deep into the importance of knowing your end game: Are you building a lifestyle business or prepping for a big liquidity event? Once you have that clarity, it’s time to set goals and delegate effectively. You’ll learn how he structured a team that helped him hit $5 million and beyond without burning out.

There’s a big difference between an Amazon seller and a businessperson who uses Amazon. At least according to Dillon Carter, an Amazon wholesale success story. After listening to The Selling Family, Carter became entranced with the idea of building a business on Amazon. In his early 20s, Carter took the ultimate risk when he quit his day-job and dove headfirst into sales. While digging up a decent paycheck in retail arbitrage, Carter wanted more. Hoping to scale his business, he took yet another risk and switched his model to wholesale. Carter now earns six figures in annual sales and develops tools specifically designed to improve your business.
