BTW guys, I'm LOVING Project X. I'm a 7 figure seller, with 60+ SKUs, been selling on Amazon for 6+ years, and I'm digging the thought process. I've been through a ton of courses, more masterminds that I wish to admit to, and belong to a bunch of FB groups. I'm tired of everyone teaching the same old strategies, or versions of the same strategies. It's refreshing to see Tim's unconventional thought process. Thanks for putting this series together. I've requested that all of my employees watch these videos.
Cindy Hayslette across the 8 businesses that I own, I have about 15 employees. But for an Amazon business, if I were to start from scratch, I would hire a VA from the Philippines immediately to do all of the mundane tasks, and let you focus on the big payoff tasks. You can easily run a 7 figure Amazon biz with 2 VAs.
I am learning a tremendous amount from Project X. I took a $500 course and I have learned more from 2 episodes of Project X than the entire course. Thanks!
It's really different when you are just listening than when you are actually watching the video. I was listening this while I was in the office this week, now I'm watching while I'm taking down notes. :) Thanks to both of you!
I agree - but the next step is to take action. What's your plan - to watch the entire series and implement at the end or implement as you go after each video? I am going for the latter and I just filmed my experience of doing product research this way across on my channel - come check it out and share your experience if you have time :)
I am from Vancouver, Washington...I found Helium 10 through members of a FB group with a different YT educator. I just knew from all the page chatter that Helium 10 was the software I needed to go with, and then Freedom Ticket came out so I’ve been taking that course and watching your videos, gaining confidence every day! There is an excellence here in this community that I’m very excited to be part of!
Hi Bradley and Tim As a newbie Amazon FBA seller, I've been watching all kinds of training with keen interest, including your test product demo and evaluation, the live demo process is invaluable in terms of H10 product assessment process and finding good/low comp products or me on my onward journey as an AMZ seller for which, by the way I was just approved yesterday, plus managed to set up my website earlier in the week, also quick shout out to Sophie Howard who's course point me in your direction and John Lavenia who has been an inspiration in self development. Already a trail member but expect to sign up thereafter. thanks for the knowledge!
Just curious why you did not look for the keyword wooden egg holder or wooden egg tray. Both the key words give 7 - 8 results on Amazon and also they have been there on Amazon since 2016 and some from 2017. Per Helium 10 there was not much sales (< 60 units/month).
They are targeting keywords, not products in this situation. So there may be an opportunity to target the keyword "egg holder" with the wooden product. There are probably some wooden products that already have some traction for the specific keywords of "wooden egg holder" or "wooden egg tray." But those sellers may not be capitalizing on the more general "egg holder" keyword yet, which pinterest shows is relevant. I believe that is what is going on. If Helium 10 wants to weigh in, that would be great.
Catching up with these insightful episodes - subscribed to Helium10 last week. From the UK and looking to start a business selling but has the coronavirus put a spanner in the works I wonder. Just wish I had more time to watch these live but still have the day job
Hey - Im British too but live in the UAE. I am doing this too (and documenting it on RUclips) whilst having a full time corporate job. The situation has slowed things down - its defo slowed things down with my sourcing but it shouldn't throw a spanner in the works :)
You've given me some new avenues for doing products searches, and validating. My biggest struggle is understanding the whole keyword thing. I'm still waiting for that CLICK in my mind that puts it all in perspective. I'd like to see a complete tutorial about keywords, their relevance, and taught like your teaching someone who has never even heard the word, (Keyword).
In the world of ecommerce, keyword is another word for "search terms." What's confusing, I think, is that a "keyword" can be one or more words. When the keyword gets to be 3 or more words it is also known as a "long-tail keyword." Keywords are those words that people have put into a search bar when they are looking for something online.
Great stuff! Every interesting and very informative! It's ABSOLUTELY GREAT that you guys make PRINTED VERSION of these videos! I listen to videos and got maybe 15% information.For me it's alway the case, I cannot get much info from spoken words, I need to read. I read each episode, then listen again, that way I got it! Reading is very very important. Just listening, not good, if you do not know the subject well. Again, great content and great presenters!
Bradley and Tim, this content is ground-breaking! Loving the series so far 👍 I think the coffin shelf will be your best find and the most interesting thing I learned is using Pinterest and also Trendster as validation sources. Bryan from Scotland 👏👏👏
Hello guys! I am Marc Llinares form Barcelona, Spain. I sell in amazon since 4 years ago. There was a moment in my business that worked very well but right now it is stagnant and I need to relaunch it, that is why I have subscribed to Helium 10 and I am watching your videos to learn and update. It looks very good what you are doing. Keep going!
Good to see again Bradly and Tim. I am from the capital of our nation, Washington DC. I use helium10 product research tool and not able to get a profitable product yet, watching product x would help achieve...
Hi ! Thanks for great content . Please when you showing some product/keyword tell everything about it, not only good sides. " Coffin shelf " when you found this seller name black product it only sell 2 and the other 4 in a month. How to estimate true demand ? Sample listing ?. You tell that if someone searching for "Gothic Decor " is a " window buyer " so how many product of coffin bookshelf you will be able to sell on that keyword and other broad keywords ? "Forest axe" is good keyword but i saw many AMZ on this site and multiple sellers on one listing . It is possible to compete with AMZ, but with so many sellers? How you differentiate product like axe ? Still i think is great approach to search low competition product and useful information. I am sorry if that will be explained in next episode.
Wow! Gotta be the most insightful vid I’ve seen on product research. It’s like I was right there with you guys. Thank very much!! Definitely the coffin seems like the most promising. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I am taking notes from your video, I am listening to it like I listen to my professors' lecture and there are so many things that I learnt from this episode but the best thing is the product validation OFF-Amazon and the red flags during the process of product validation, thank you, guys!!! I pan to watch every minute of this series
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and explaining it in a way for new sellers to understand. There is nothing worse than watching a training video and the person doesn't remember what it's like to be new. No assumptions made on your part! Thank you!
Hey guys, thanks for another great episode. I've just got a question for you. Im just a bit confused on how building a brand works. Say you choose to launch the Coffin shelves and it is successful. If you are completely new to this like me and it comes time to finding your second product to sell would you be limited to finding a product that somewhat relates to a coffin shelf? Otherwise I feel like you would have to keep making a bunch of different "brands", or have a hodge podge of random products under one brand.
I think when you are getting started, don’t think too much about creating a brand. If you take the Freedom Ticket course, Kevin King echos the same. The most important thing is to get started, don’t think too many steps ahead for now. I recently sold out all my brands and I’m starting again completely from scratch and recording my journey on RUclips. I’m using the same methods that Tim and Bradley use but I’m not focusing on picking products all in one niche to create a brand - the focus is on creating a line of products to create a steady income stream.
@@Christina_Smith but with amazon new listing rule that requires us to put brand name even when we first sell on amazon it became very confusing with brand name issue now for me I don't know what exactly should do
Answering your questions, what I found interesting was checking the burrito blanket product on Alibaba which helped determine how saturated it was. And second, I like the hatchet / forest axe idea amongst the top three! Thank you for your time and effort to put this series online! Truly educational! And I’d like to echo what quite a few are saying here, that you both are talking of newer strategies and thought processes that are very exciting!
Hello, I am Nataliia Ukraine, currently based in Chicago, Illinois☺️ I really love what you doing guys. I am only started to sell my product on Amazon, and I glad to find new opportunities with you guys.
I am Sohail Munawar from Lahore - Pakistan ...... BS - TJ you both are simply great, you are driving people like us in the right direction with your knowledge and insights and making it all way too easy to understand. " MAND KAY RAKHOO " in my language means keep it up.
Watching from Canada. Purchased a very expensive course that teaches basically what Project X does, but no where as good. It's a shame that I had to spend so much just to learn about Helium and find your videos, but I'm so glad a did. You guys really know how to simplify the process and make product research exciting again. I can't wait to watch the rest of the Project X series.
Congrats on these videos I just started to watch your videos one week ago, I finished a course one month but steel finding a good product with your teaching I learning more about Helium 10 and how to apply your wonderful strategies, I think the hatchet will be the best product in you investigation, Ibrahin from Venezuela
From SC, USA. But living in Clearwater, FL now. Just wanted to quit working for other people and wanted to create my own business. When I found some training for this, I found it to be really fun!
The opportunity is out there and thanks for shedding some light on how to go about becoming successful with amazon and helium 10. Growing and learning new methods i hope can make me successful one day with amazon fba.
I love the ax! Liked the details for a beginner and explaining terms like BSR, ASIN, Keywords, the pros and cons of FBM as opposed to FBA. The process and rationale. Thank you!
All the way from Jamaica here and just starting on Amazon. Seller account just approved and taking baby steps. All the info seems overwhelming but taking it slowly
Hi there! We all started from where you are! We're here to help and guide you to success, if you have any questions - feel free to reach out to us and we'll be more than happy to help!
Hi guys!, from Argentina. Joined the freedom tkt not long ago, and now enjoying all the valuable data you are providing in these project x videos. What brought me on this journey?, well, i need to beat inflation (curently 100 % in one year ). That explains it right? I am 56 yrs old, and I am loving this course. Hope to start shortly!. Thanks so much for making this so easy and challenging.
total newbie, signed up for Sophies Blue Sky academy and my coach recomeded to watch your project. Amazing. i have learned so much today by watching your series. i was concerned can i actually do it, can i achieve my goal to quit earning profit for my company boss and start to work for myself and enjoy life. You cnvinced me , Yes i can. thank you very much. My fav product will have to be egg trys, not fan of coffins
Hey guys! Really enjoying the video series. I'm from Edmonton, Canada and I've been selling 1 private label product for 6 months, but it's not profitable. I'm doubling down on private label selling and learning as much as I can to make the next product(s) profitable!
@@Christina_Smith Yes absolutely I'll be using some of the techniques here (how to find keywords/products and the test listing). I'll combine it with what I've learnt from the other course I've done!
Franklin, NC, USA. We live in the beautiful western NC mountains. My husband and I have been looking for something we can do from anywhere. In January, 2020 I saw a Facebook ad featuring Stephen Diaz and the Rainmakers. Signed up for the Challenge and found H10 during the course.
Question for the next AMA: In episode 2 you searched up highly saturated keywords in Pinterest to find new keywords. How do you go about finding highly saturated keywords, such as sugar skulls, in the first place?
I'm from Galati, Romania and... I've always been interested in a business that will give me more freedom, not that 9 to 5 job because that's not what I call "freedom" and when I heard about FBA for the first time it sounded like a get rich quick scheme but after I looked into it and I found about Helium 10, things just got really interesting and I understood what I have to do next.
I was like this back in 2018 - I saw adverts for Amazon FBA and I just thought it was Amazon advertising for workers. Then I started to do a bit more research and saw it was an option to create an e-commerce business. Project X is a great option for you to watch to begin with - take action and get started and learn as you go because things change. I am currently doing the same and documenting my journey using these methods across on my RUclips page. I hope you can come over and share your comments and experience :)
Hi. That's awesome. I like to see people documenting their progress and this would be really helpful to me. Also I'm sure things will change, at least after this whole pandemic story...
Hi Tim and Bradley My name is Bing from Liverpool UK. Just to let you know it's been a great Episode once again. Very informative. My favorite among those 3 products is the Skull Book shelve. Favorite topic? All 3 locations to search for K word. Basically everything on it. Thanks.
Another thing to remember as far as when I'm looking for something on Amazon is not only do I look at number of reviews, but also price. If I see something that I'm going to buy I don't have a problem with scrolling down 2-3 pages and pulling the trigger on the cheapest one that also has prime shipping. I have absolutely no problem at all getting the product that has less reviews if its cheaper and also has free shipping.
Thank you for the video. You mentioned that PInterest and Etsy are ahead of Amazon. Just wondering how did you determine that? Is it because these products are not on Amazon yet? Or is it something else?
I’m kinda leaning with Tim on the coffin, I got the same sneaky feeling about that one. With the hatchet running a close second, I feel like the hatchet would be a bit more saturated ( well actually you proved that) but I still think the demand is there.
Hi this is Bernadette from Camrose Ab Canada , i am just starting to learn how to start to sell on Amazon, love Helium 10 and love this Project X series. Freedom Ticket with Kevin is so interesting and so are you guys .Freedom ticket spells it out and a what to to get going step by step , so you feel like your accomplishing something!!!! I bought another course for $4000+ but it is so boring and just goes on and on till you fall asleep.Hopefully once i start up i can get some use of that course, but if i was to recommend a course it would be Freedom Ticket from Helium 10. Thank you !!!!
You guys are amazing! EXCELLENT content on how to find products. I've been selling (FBA) on amazon for one year now and I think this information is awesome. I am from New York and been struggling the first year so far (saturated product :( wish I had your videos back then.) My biggest struggle now is amazon's PPC. Are you going to have any videos related to PPCs? Thanks for sharing this video!!!
Hi guys. Question for AMA: what exactly is a “competitive” keyword? A keyword that has a wide range of products attached to it? A keyword being used by a large number of sellers to sell the same or similar products? Or both? Or something even more than that? Thanks!!!
Vancouver Canada a big fan of helium 10! And a fan oh Bradley and Tim! Great episode, I’ve always been a bit concerned selling knives and axes, are they more prompt to liability? Thanks
I always struggled with this - figuring out how to use Google Trends or CamelCamelCamel - this is a feature I have only just become aware of and I will definitely be using it more now! How are you progressing with your journey?
Hey guys, great show! I'm watching from the UK, haven't started selling yet. One comment about the current episode - I think it was a bit cheeky of you to gloss over the fact, that some of the hatchets had over 800 reviews :) I am wondering if the reason was to have 3 products making it to the next episode? I assume you're going to address the number of reviews the potential competitors are getting then?
Fantastic information, and I really appreciate you are doing this for free! Very informative! My favourite piece of information at this episode was ... that if you can't find it easily on Alibaba it is most likely a winner! And of course... Pinterest and the wooden egg holders! Nicely done! Katrin (from Vancouver Island)
Great to educational episode. I have a question for Bradley and Tim. Will Helium 10 ever be developing a tool whereby you can search for sellers who keep running out of stock? These can be good potential products to sell for staying in stock ahead of your competitors.
I was using the Freedom Ticket method and I think that is a solid validation method to use. However, I think some of the criteria in the test will cause a few slips through the cracks of really good products. So I think its super important that when you are doing your product research that you have a clear strategy in mind. I think I mentioned this in another comment on Project X but it becomes more and more apparent when you are watching these videos. This is defo a method I am using and documenting in 2020 - let's see what happens :)
Hello guys! I live in France and just started to look for the best products for selling in Europe. This is very interesting, though the market here is a bit different. Thanks for all your advice!
hello Bradley, i am curious on why you didn't try wooden egg tray because there are a lot of them on amazon and you kept focusing only on the key word egg tray hence why they didnt come up ? thanks
I am in California, USA. COVID 19 has interrupted our business. We own and operate concession stands at County fairs. All fairs I have been cancelled. Great time for me to start something new.
I really liked the Forest Axe price margin potential (cheap or high) but the coffin I would go with #1 because of the further analysis you guys did, thanks.
Hello from Europe ! I have a question about looking for a main keyword for the niche. I am a little bit confused again :D I've noticed you said that HATCHET is too competetive keyword, so we have to find a smaller one or less saturated. Do we have to analyze our niche only by the main main main keyword with the biggest search volume ? I thought this way of thinking was right. When I want to check if the niche is saturated or no -I analyze search volume, Price, Revenue, Review - then if this keyword (in my opinion the main keyword with the biggest search volume) is too competetive, then I leave it and keep looking for a new product. Is my way of thinking correct ? I am asking because some people say this and the other something different and now I dont know how to analyze my niche... I think that the main keyword is the key, because we are not able to identify whether the sale in a given niche is from the main keyword or a secondary one? I know that we have to rank for many keywords when we are selling a product, but I am asking about the first step of analyzing the niche. Please explain me in a simple way this process? Thank you :))
Hi, just recently joined Helium 10 and benefitting a lot from this podcast thus far. A quick question - with the "forest axe" keyword, when you entered this keyword into Amazon (9 months ago) there seemed to be a lot of similar looking products on the first page. Is that not a cause for concern in terms of saturation/competition? What was it that mitigated this for you and still made it a potential product opportunity fit for the next stage of analysis? Apologies if I completely missed the answer to this in the actual body of the video.
With your forest axe example would you ever look at "frequently bought together" on Amazon? If someone buys something small with the axe you could package those together to set your product apart and lead to increased sales when launching?
I hope you guys don’t mind the questions on these older episodes but I keep watching them to get something I may have missed and I just don’t understand how the oh baby seeds were page 1 position 1 with a 3.1 ⭐️ review by 7 people? Is t the point of these searches to find products that we can improve on? That’s an example product where the seller isn’t doing anything correct and still getting ranked “Amazons Choice” ???
The content given on each episode of the Project X course is second to none. Great information provided and Tim and Bradley go into depth when talking about any topic relating to listing your product or validating your product. Thanks for the information guys , definitely took away loads of key points from this!
Hi guys, appreciate the time you spent creating these knowledge bases with massive value. quick question - what if all parameters looking good (product producing around 14-15K monthly, search volume, ease of ranking, not optimized listings, price point and margins, BSR, reviews count, etc) but.... there are only 2 sellers and one of them is AMZ itself ? would you still consider it as good opportunity ? or is is a major red flag ? 10x
ive a question regarding product research.. i am going also to sell a product and been currently on product research.. do i need the celebro tool for product research or could i just use celebro after i found a product niche to sell, also using celebro on the creating a listening?
Guamanian transplant in Iowa here, hi guys. I'm a new subscriber to this channel & a new Helium 10 user. I have been trying to use the program & the rabbit hole is real. I tried to get the chrome extension installed & not sure is on file. Thanks for making the effort to educate on this app. It's not easy yet, but I have high Hope's that this will get understandable.
So when you don't find the product you are looking for on Alibaba, like the coffin shelf, do you just ask different suppliers if they can make it for you? I would probably go with the coffin shelf or the wooden egg holders. Thanks guys!!
In my opinion when you dont find it on Alibaba find another supplier not on Alibaba so they can make. There are alot more ways to find supplier not on Alibaba. For example for the wood coffin I would try india, and not India filter on Alibaba. Maybe start on Google. Maybe search regular wood shelves manufacturer in in India. Then get them to make a coffin stly shelf. And make sure that manufacture is not on Alibaba as well. You can filter by location.
Hi chaps! You content is amazing by the way! The coffin you looked at. Would the information you found about the black one not show a supplier issue? That's why they ran out of stock. How would you go about resolving this issue? Garry from UK.
Great content!!😀Love e Pintrest and Etsy valadation methods! My favorite product are the hatchet (high profit) and coffin bookshelf (less competition).... Just wondering if hatchet is in the gated category?
Great episode - thanks. Validation using social media sites is brilliant. I like the coffin shelf product best. Question: When you're validating the coffin shelf idea, a graph shows BSR, sales over time. What tool/extension generates the graph? I can't see it in the H10 chrome extension.
Very cool stuff. Really liked how Bradley was the tech helium10 guy and tim was more real world..great team. I personally stay away from Alibaba for obvious reasons, I do go on it to make sure my potential product is not on there. Like the burrito blanket.. Not sure if I missed this in the other episodes. But one thing I think should be mentioned is although you can find random products and make money. Sellers, speciall new seller should think about becoming a brand. And can this product be the first in a niche I can build around. For example: the axe, maybe release a leather axe black cover. This should atleast be considered, I'm my opinion amazon is turning more and more into a brand heavy, quality products. I do not want to have a store front full of different things. Further more are able provide more value and able to charge way more. So when the time comes and you niche gets saturated everyone is racing to the bottom except you.
I skimmed through. I’m just looking for a pdf or excel file that has a quick reference guide of what each aspect of the Helium 10 bundle does so Im looking for something I can keep it near my computer while I’m searching. I did not see anything like that yet. Thank you and you guys are doing an awesome job!
Hi Brad & Tim. Could you comment on the thread started by Sameena Parveen, regarding why you didn't search for "wooden egg holder"? Surely, if you are thinking of selling that, it would be a relevant keyword string?
In your research, are you concerned about liability? For example, selling an ax, there is a higher liability versus selling a plastic plate set (regardless of competition etc).
Hi Bradley and Tim.Thanks for your sharing of so great content. I have a question. When you searched the coffin shelf trend on trendster. You mentioned that the Google trend is up of that keyword. I have a keyword that also trending up. But it has no search volume on some certain days before. The keyword is not well known by people before, but known by some now because of an advertisement. And the keyword thus trending up a little bit fast. This is a kitchen tool that I found most people need and the two out-of-stock listings has BSR rank 3-40000. Since it is my first time on finding a product,I am so careful and want to know about your suggesstion. Really really thanks in advance.
Hi Tim & Bradley, hats off to you guys for a wonderful, in-depth presentation. I just have one question at the moment regarding the hatchet example. Does the size and weight of the product packaging matter to rank a product? I am a newbie to Amazon and just curious to know. Thanks in advance.
BTW guys, I'm LOVING Project X. I'm a 7 figure seller, with 60+ SKUs, been selling on Amazon for 6+ years, and I'm digging the thought process. I've been through a ton of courses, more masterminds that I wish to admit to, and belong to a bunch of FB groups. I'm tired of everyone teaching the same old strategies, or versions of the same strategies. It's refreshing to see Tim's unconventional thought process. Thanks for putting this series together. I've requested that all of my employees watch these videos.
hat off to you, learning never stops! Would love to learn one or two things from you as a newbie
You have employees. That’s awesome 👏 I hope it will be possible that I could achieve that level. How many people does it take to run your company?
Definitely a nice video. Alex, I just started looking into FBA business on Amazon, where is the best place to start the journey?
Faisal Nur ask away
Cindy Hayslette across the 8 businesses that I own, I have about 15 employees. But for an Amazon business, if I were to start from scratch, I would hire a VA from the Philippines immediately to do all of the mundane tasks, and let you focus on the big payoff tasks. You can easily run a 7 figure Amazon biz with 2 VAs.
Having the reminders before the episode airs is genius, can't wait !
Thanks Steven! Happy to hear that, keep sharing you feedback with us.

Hi Bradley and Tim
As a newbie Amazon FBA seller, I've been watching all kinds of training with keen interest, including your test product demo and evaluation, the live demo process is invaluable in terms of H10 product assessment process and finding good/low comp products or me on my onward journey as an AMZ seller for which, by the way I was just approved yesterday, plus managed to set up my website earlier in the week, also quick shout out to Sophie Howard who's course point me in your direction and John Lavenia who has been an inspiration in self development.

Hope someone share their thoughts on this. Bradley & Tim
They are targeting keywords, not products in this situation. So there may be an opportunity to target the keyword "egg holder" with the wooden product. There are probably some wooden products that already have some traction for the specific keywords of "wooden egg holder" or "wooden egg tray." But those sellers may not be capitalizing on the more general "egg holder" keyword yet, which pinterest shows is relevant. I believe that is what is going on. If Helium 10 wants to weigh in, that would be great.
If I wanted a unique egg tray or a wooden egg tray I would type in wooden egg tray , put the black hat on Tim..
You bring up a really good point. Even the coffin shelf's had multiple listings prior to our dynamic duo launching one.

Wow! Gotta be the most insightful vid I’ve seen on product research. It’s like I was right there with you guys. Thank very much!! Definitely the coffin seems like the most promising. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
So happy to hear that! This is designed for you and we want to be with you every step of the way throughout the selling journey.
Helium 10 it is much appreciated 👍
I am taking notes from your video, I am listening to it like I listen to my professors' lecture and there are so many things that I learnt from this episode but the best thing is the product validation OFF-Amazon and the red flags during the process of product validation, thank you, guys!!! I pan to watch every minute of this series
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and explaining it in a way for new sellers to understand. There is nothing worse than watching a training video and the person doesn't remember what it's like to be new. No assumptions made on your part! Thank you!
Well, first 30 minutes literally BLEW MY MIND!
Mind, BLOWN! Thanks Nikita, are you ready for Episode 4?
@@Helium10 Can't wait!
Hey guys, thanks for another great episode. I've just got a question for you. Im just a bit confused on how building a brand works. Say you choose to launch the Coffin shelves and it is successful. If you are completely new to this like me and it comes time to finding your second product to sell would you be limited to finding a product that somewhat relates to a coffin shelf? Otherwise I feel like you would have to keep making a bunch of different "brands", or have a hodge podge of random products under one brand.
Thanks for joining us, Celeste! We added your question to our queue for the AMA.
I think when you are getting started, don’t think too much about creating a brand. If you take the Freedom Ticket course, Kevin King echos the same. The most important thing is to get started, don’t think too many steps ahead for now. I recently sold out all my brands and I’m starting again completely from scratch and recording my journey on RUclips. I’m using the same methods that Tim and Bradley use but I’m not focusing on picking products all in one niche to create a brand - the focus is on creating a line of products to create a steady income stream.
@@Christina_Smith but with amazon new listing rule that requires us to put brand name even when we first sell on amazon it became very confusing with brand name issue now for me I don't know what exactly should do
Answering your questions, what I found interesting was checking the burrito blanket product on Alibaba which helped determine how saturated it was. And second, I like the hatchet / forest axe idea amongst the top three! Thank you for your time and effort to put this series online! Truly educational! And I’d like to echo what quite a few are saying here, that you both are talking of newer strategies and thought processes that are very exciting!
Hello, I am Nataliia Ukraine, currently based in Chicago, Illinois☺️ I really love what you doing guys. I am only started to sell my product on Amazon, and I glad to find new opportunities with you guys.
I am Sohail Munawar from Lahore - Pakistan ...... BS - TJ you both are simply great, you are driving people like us in the right direction with your knowledge and insights and making it all way too easy to understand. " MAND KAY RAKHOO " in my language means keep it up.
Watching from Canada. Purchased a very expensive course that teaches basically what Project X does, but no where as good. It's a shame that I had to spend so much just to learn about Helium and find your videos, but I'm so glad a did. You guys really know how to simplify the process and make product research exciting again. I can't wait to watch the rest of the Project X series.
Thank you so much Jasmin!
Congrats on these videos I just started to watch your videos one week ago, I finished a course one month but steel finding a good product with your teaching I learning more about Helium 10 and how to apply your wonderful strategies, I think the hatchet will be the best product in you investigation, Ibrahin from Venezuela
From SC, USA. But living in Clearwater, FL now. Just wanted to quit working for other people and wanted to create my own business. When I found some training for this, I found it to be really fun!
Good luck with your journey - this method is great for compounding :)
The opportunity is out there and thanks for shedding some light on how to go about becoming successful with amazon and helium 10. Growing and learning new methods i hope can make me successful one day with amazon fba.
Wow. you guys are really making me much more confident to get started doing this!!!
I love the ax! Liked the details for a beginner and explaining terms like BSR, ASIN, Keywords, the pros and cons of FBM as opposed to FBA. The process and rationale. Thank you!
All the way from Jamaica here and just starting on Amazon. Seller account just approved and taking baby steps. All the info seems overwhelming but taking it slowly

Hi guys!, from Argentina. Joined the freedom tkt not long ago, and now enjoying all the valuable data you are providing in these project x videos. What brought me on this journey?, well, i need to beat inflation (curently 100 % in one year ). That explains it right? I am 56 yrs old, and I am loving this course. Hope to start shortly!. Thanks so much for making this so easy and challenging.
total newbie, signed up for Sophies Blue Sky academy and my coach recomeded to watch your project. Amazing. i have learned so much today by watching your series. i was concerned can i actually do it, can i achieve my goal to quit earning profit for my company boss and start to work for myself and enjoy life. You cnvinced me , Yes i can. thank you very much.
My fav product will have to be egg trys, not fan of coffins
Hey guys! Really enjoying the video series. I'm from Edmonton, Canada and I've been selling 1 private label product for 6 months, but it's not profitable. I'm doubling down on private label selling and learning as much as I can to make the next product(s) profitable!
That's great to hear - will you be using the methods from Project X?
@@Christina_Smith Yes absolutely I'll be using some of the techniques here (how to find keywords/products and the test listing). I'll combine it with what I've learnt from the other course I've done!
Brad Harder that’s exactly what I am doing - and documenting on RUclips - at the moment! I always love to learn and implement new methods!

My husband and I have been looking for something we can do from anywhere. In January, 2020 I saw a Facebook ad featuring Stephen Diaz and the Rainmakers. Signed up for the Challenge and found H10 during the course.
That's awesome - how are you progressing with H10 so far - are you using Project X or Freedom Ticket?
Hi from the UAE
Are the techniques used in this project still valid today, and I can rely on them to do my research?
Question for the next AMA: In episode 2 you searched up highly saturated keywords in Pinterest to find new keywords. How do you go about finding highly saturated keywords, such as sugar skulls, in the first place?
Thanks Rahul! Adding it to our queue now.
I'm from Galati, Romania and... I've always been interested in a business that will give me more freedom, not that 9 to 5 job because that's not what I call "freedom" and when I heard about FBA for the first time it sounded like a get rich quick scheme but after I looked into it and I found about Helium 10, things just got really interesting and I understood what I have to do next.
I was like this back in 2018 - I saw adverts for Amazon FBA and I just thought it was Amazon advertising for workers. Then I started to do a bit more research and saw it was an option to create an e-commerce business. Project X is a great option for you to watch to begin with - take action and get started and learn as you go because things change. I am currently doing the same and documenting my journey using these methods across on my RUclips page. I hope you can come over and share your comments and experience :)
Hi. That's awesome. I like to see people documenting their progress and this would be really helpful to me. Also I'm sure things will change, at least after this whole pandemic story...
Hi Tim and Bradley My name is Bing from Liverpool UK. Just to let you know it's been a great Episode once again. Very informative. My favorite among those 3 products is the Skull Book shelve. Favorite topic? All 3 locations to search for K word. Basically everything on it. Thanks.
Good evening all from GERMANY, happy to be here again
Happy you're back with us. Episode 4 tomorrow!
Another thing to remember as far as when I'm looking for something on Amazon is not only do I look at number of reviews, but also price. If I see something that I'm going to buy I don't have a problem with scrolling down 2-3 pages and pulling the trigger on the cheapest one that also has prime shipping. I have absolutely no problem at all getting the product that has less reviews if its cheaper and also has free shipping.
Hello Bradley & Tim, wow--what a great training!!!!!! I would do the egg holder! Definitely going to have to watch this one 2x
We're keeping our eye on it.
Thank you for the video. You mentioned that PInterest and Etsy are ahead of Amazon.
Just wondering how did you determine that? Is it because these products are not on Amazon yet? Or is it something else?
I’m kinda leaning with Tim on the coffin, I got the same sneaky feeling about that one. With the hatchet running a close second, I feel like the hatchet would be a bit more saturated ( well actually you proved that) but I still think the demand is there.
Good insight!
My favorite is egg holder/tray. Thank you so much for this great content.
Hi this is Bernadette from Camrose Ab Canada , i am just starting to learn how to start to sell on Amazon, love Helium 10 and love this Project X series. Freedom Ticket with Kevin is so interesting and so are you guys .Freedom ticket spells it out and a what to to get going step by step , so you feel like your accomplishing something!!!! I bought another course for $4000+ but it is so boring and just goes on and on till you fall asleep.Hopefully once i start up i can get some use of that course, but if i was to recommend a course it would be Freedom Ticket from Helium 10. Thank you !!!!
Manfredonia, Italy. I love your smart thinking and creativity. Thanks
Thanks Roberto! More to come, get ready. Thanks for joining us.
Loved how you were able to find the Hatchet product.
You guys are amazing! EXCELLENT content on how to find products. I've been selling (FBA) on amazon for one year now and I think this information is awesome. I am from New York and been struggling the first year so far (saturated product :( wish I had your videos back then.) My biggest struggle now is amazon's PPC. Are you going to have any videos related to PPCs? Thanks for sharing this video!!!
Hi guys. Question for AMA: what exactly is a “competitive” keyword? A keyword that has a wide range of products attached to it? A keyword being used by a large number of sellers to sell the same or similar products? Or both? Or something even more than that? Thanks!!!
Took the words from my mouth. Or it meaning like the keyword is profitable? I'm unsure as well!
Vancouver Canada a big fan of helium 10! And a fan oh Bradley and Tim! Great episode, I’ve always been a bit concerned selling knives and axes, are they more prompt to liability? Thanks
My favorite was finding out about Trendster and Magnet which I didn't know about and I have Helium 10 on my computer.
I always struggled with this - figuring out how to use Google Trends or CamelCamelCamel - this is a feature I have only just become aware of and I will definitely be using it more now! How are you progressing with your journey?
thanks Tim & Bradley. You two are my favorite. You make Amazon FBA not only just sound easy but really easier. Thank you very much!
4 years later, Im form Buenos Aires , Argentina :)
Hey guys, great show! I'm watching from the UK, haven't started selling yet. One comment about the current episode - I think it was a bit cheeky of you to gloss over the fact, that some of the hatchets had over 800 reviews :) I am wondering if the reason was to have 3 products making it to the next episode? I assume you're going to address the number of reviews the potential competitors are getting then?
Fantastic information, and I really appreciate you are doing this for free! Very informative! My favourite piece of information at this episode was ... that if you can't find it easily on Alibaba it is most likely a winner! And of course... Pinterest and the wooden egg holders! Nicely done! Katrin (from Vancouver Island)
Great to educational episode. I have a question for Bradley and Tim. Will Helium 10 ever be developing a tool whereby you can search for sellers who keep running out of stock? These can be good potential products to sell for staying in stock ahead of your competitors.
From Pakistan. Loved this Project. Keep up the good work.
this is such a thorough explanation of product research!!!
I was using the Freedom Ticket method and I think that is a solid validation method to use. However, I think some of the criteria in the test will cause a few slips through the cracks of really good products. So I think its super important that when you are doing your product research that you have a clear strategy in mind. I think I mentioned this in another comment on Project X but it becomes more and more apparent when you are watching these videos. This is defo a method I am using and documenting in 2020 - let's see what happens :)
Hi guys ! The wooden egg 🥚 holder is my favorite !
Hello guys! I live in France and just started to look for the best products for selling in Europe. This is very interesting, though the market here is a bit different. Thanks for all your advice!
Awesome Video, If this wasn't on RUclips, I would have definitely tried the COFFIN Shelf :)
Interested to see what happens next!
hello Bradley, i am curious on why you didn't try wooden egg tray because there are a lot of them on amazon and you kept focusing only on the key word egg tray hence why they didnt come up ? thanks
I agree. Wooden egg tray was the first thing I would have searched after the pinterest search
Adding this to our AMA question queue.
I guess it was because of not enough demand for that type of product. (just checked now :) )
You're selling keywords not products - that's the simple answer
I am in California, USA. COVID 19 has interrupted our business. We own and operate concession stands at County fairs. All fairs I have been cancelled. Great time for me to start something new.
Great produce research ,I can wait to see the next episode 😁👏
You won't have to wait much longer!
I really liked the Forest Axe price margin potential (cheap or high) but the coffin I would go with #1 because of the further analysis you guys did, thanks.
Hello from Europe !
I have a question about looking for a main keyword for the niche. I am a little bit confused again :D
I've noticed you said that HATCHET is too competetive keyword, so we have to find a smaller one or less saturated. Do we have to analyze our niche only by the main main main keyword with the biggest search volume ? I thought this way of thinking was right. When I want to check if the niche is saturated or no -I analyze search volume, Price, Revenue, Review - then if this keyword (in my opinion the main keyword with the biggest search volume) is too competetive, then I leave it and keep looking for a new product. Is my way of thinking correct ? I am asking because some people say this and the other something different and now I dont know how to analyze my niche...
I think that the main keyword is the key, because we are not able to identify whether the sale in a given niche is from the main keyword or a secondary one? I know that we have to rank for many keywords when we are selling a product, but I am asking about the first step of analyzing the niche.
Please explain me in a simple way this process? Thank you :))
Hi, just recently joined Helium 10 and benefitting a lot from this podcast thus far.
A quick question - with the "forest axe" keyword, when you entered this keyword into Amazon (9 months ago) there seemed to be a lot of similar looking products on the first page. Is that not a cause for concern in terms of saturation/competition? What was it that mitigated this for you and still made it a potential product opportunity fit for the next stage of analysis?
Apologies if I completely missed the answer to this in the actual body of the video.
With your forest axe example would you ever look at "frequently bought together" on Amazon? If someone buys something small with the axe you could package those together to set your product apart and lead to increased sales when launching?

Archer ,Fl I just happenend upon you guys and so happy I did!
You're Doing a great job. Keep it up
Hi Zaeem! Thank you for the kind words, you're doing great too! 🙌🏻
I hope you guys don’t mind the questions on these older episodes but I keep watching them to get something I may have missed and I just don’t understand how the oh baby seeds were page 1 position 1 with a 3.1 ⭐️ review by 7 people? Is t the point of these searches to find products that we can improve on? That’s an example product where the seller isn’t doing anything correct and still getting ranked “Amazons Choice” ???
The content given on each episode of the Project X course is second to none. Great information provided and Tim and Bradley go into depth when talking about any topic relating to listing your product or validating your product. Thanks for the information guys , definitely took away loads of key points from this!
So much information. I am going with the axe. I think it's less trendy than the egg tray.
Hi guys, appreciate the time you spent creating these knowledge bases with massive value.
quick question - what if all parameters looking good (product producing around 14-15K monthly, search volume, ease of ranking, not optimized listings, price point and margins, BSR, reviews count, etc) but.... there are only 2 sellers and one of them is AMZ itself ? would you still consider it as good opportunity ? or is is a major red flag ?
10x
Seems like a major flag. I guess there is no competition with AMZ.
ive a question regarding product research.. i am going also to sell a product and been currently on product research.. do i need the celebro tool for product research or could i just use celebro after i found a product niche to sell, also using celebro on the creating a listening?
Guamanian transplant in Iowa here, hi guys. I'm a new subscriber to this channel & a new Helium 10 user. I have been trying to use the program & the rabbit hole is real. I tried to get the chrome extension installed & not sure is on file. Thanks for making the effort to educate on this app. It's not easy yet, but I have high Hope's that this will get understandable.
So when you don't find the product you are looking for on Alibaba, like the coffin shelf, do you just ask different suppliers if they can make it for you? I would probably go with the coffin shelf or the wooden egg holders. Thanks guys!!
In my opinion when you dont find it on Alibaba find another supplier not on Alibaba so they can make. There are alot more ways to find supplier not on Alibaba. For example for the wood coffin I would try india, and not India filter on Alibaba. Maybe start on Google. Maybe search regular wood shelves manufacturer in in India. Then get them to make a coffin stly shelf. And make sure that manufacture is not on Alibaba as well. You can filter by location.
Watching this for my future client hehe
Miami, Florida USA 🇺🇸.... Trying to get though the fear of starting my Amazon Business
in coconut creek here. take that leap yet?
Hi chaps! You content is amazing by the way! The coffin you looked at. Would the information you found about the black one not show a supplier issue? That's why they ran out of stock. How would you go about resolving this issue?
Garry from UK.
Wooden egg tray is starting to become my favorite.
This is a lot fun to watch. Thank you.
Such valuable content and ideas.. Sophie Howard's course, Berkshire UK.. Many thanks 🇬🇧👍
Great stuff guys this is invaluable info for people looking at Amazon as a business , my fav is the hammer
Southern Vermont, Have sold on Amazon as a merchant in the past, now ready for the big league
Great Video and learn a lot of this. I think coffin bookshelf is good to sell.
Big help from your side lads. THANKS 😊
Great content!!😀Love e Pintrest and Etsy valadation methods! My favorite product are the hatchet (high profit) and coffin bookshelf (less competition).... Just wondering if hatchet is in the gated category?
Great episode - thanks. Validation using social media sites is brilliant. I like the coffin shelf product best.
Question: When you're validating the coffin shelf idea, a graph shows BSR, sales over time. What tool/extension generates the graph? I can't see it in the H10 chrome extension.
Very cool stuff. Really liked how Bradley was the tech helium10 guy and tim was more real world..great team.
I personally stay away from Alibaba for obvious reasons, I do go on it to make sure my potential product is not on there. Like the burrito blanket..
Not sure if I missed this in the other episodes. But one thing I think should be mentioned is although you can find random products and make money. Sellers, speciall new seller should think about becoming a brand. And can this product be the first in a niche I can build around. For example: the axe, maybe release a leather axe black cover. This should atleast be considered, I'm my opinion amazon is turning more and more into a brand heavy, quality products. I do not want to have a store front full of different things. Further more are able provide more value and able to charge way more. So when the time comes and you niche gets saturated everyone is racing to the bottom except you.
Hi Michele from Tampa- Do you have a cheat sheet of the main functions within each segment under Helium 10? I vote for the hatchet as the winner!
Hi Michele, have you checked out the blogs? www.helium10.com/project-x/validate-amazon-products/
I skimmed through. I’m just looking for a pdf or excel file that has a quick reference guide of what each aspect of the Helium 10 bundle does so Im looking for something I can keep it near my computer while I’m searching. I did not see anything like that yet. Thank you and you guys are doing an awesome job!
Well I will just hang out with this page open while I work on a spreadsheet ;)
Exactly what I am doing :)
Hi Brad & Tim. Could you comment on the thread started by Sameena Parveen, regarding why you didn't search for "wooden egg holder"? Surely, if you are thinking of selling that, it would be a relevant keyword string?
Coffin shelf looks to be the best of the three is my guess. One thing I was surprised at is using Ali Baba to see what suppliers are doing.
In your research, are you concerned about liability? For example, selling an ax, there is a higher liability versus selling a plastic plate set (regardless of competition etc).
Hi guys, I'm from Australia. Loving the videos.
I'm liking the forest axe, primarily for the opportunity of increased margin on a trending product.
Hi Bradley and Tim.Thanks for your sharing of so great content. I have a question. When you searched the coffin shelf trend on trendster. You mentioned that the Google trend is up of that keyword. I have a keyword that also trending up. But it has no search volume on some certain days before. The keyword is not well known by people before, but known by some now because of an advertisement. And the keyword thus trending up a little bit fast. This is a kitchen tool that I found most people need and the two out-of-stock listings has BSR rank 3-40000. Since it is my first time on finding a product,I am so careful and want to know about your suggesstion. Really really thanks in advance.
Hi Tim & Bradley, hats off to you guys for a wonderful, in-depth presentation. I just have one question at the moment regarding the hatchet example. Does the size and weight of the product packaging matter to rank a product? I am a newbie to Amazon and just curious to know. Thanks in advance.
