Imagine unlocking the secrets of Amazon’s new cool data tools with the help of an insider. That’s precisely what we did in our latest episode as an Amazon Product Opportunity Explorer team member joined us to spill the beans on how sellers can mine Amazon’s data for hidden gems. We showed the Black Box tool by Helium 10, marveling at how it works in harmony with Amazon’s own treasure trove of information to pinpoint profitable product niches. Our guest Yi Zhen also shared her inspiring climb from intern to account manager at Amazon Singapore.

Amazon sellers, get ready to have your minds blown by the power of Amazon’s Marketplace Product Guidance and Category Insights tools. We took a stroll through Seller Central’s Category Insights and discussed the ‘golden data’ at your fingertips, data that can guide you to high-demand product categories ripe for the picking. The episode peeled back the curtain on critical sales and search data metrics, providing listeners with a toolkit for making savvy decisions that could propel their Amazon ventures to new heights.

Wrapping up with a masterclass in product validation, we outlined how to sift through the noise and hone in on opportunities that not only look good on paper but can actually translate into profits. Our conversation illuminated the strategic use of the Product Opportunity Explorer to validate product choices and identify niches with less competition and higher potential earnings. And for those feeling the pinch of low search conversion rates, we shed light on how these metrics can sharpen your advertising strategies, giving you the edge in a fiercely competitive market. But wait, this episode is so good we had to cut it into two parts! So stay tuned for part 2!

I have an issue about how to use the metric "# of topic click products". It seems to me that a low number could mean a dominated market or a very untapped market. It could be good or bad at the same time.
