• Amazon Account Suspended… Again?! How to Protect Your Business in 2025
    Jun 20 2025

    What if your entire Amazon business could be protected before disaster strikes?

    In this episode, John sits down with Rohit Nair, e-commerce veteran and founder of Seller Defender, an insurance-backed solution built to protect Amazon sellers from the nightmare of account and ASIN suspensions.

    Rohit gets real about the emotional and financial toll of being suspended by Amazon (he’s lived it himself) and breaks down exactly how Seller Defender works: from onboarding to working with top-tier consultants, and even a guaranteed payout if things don’t go your way.

    Whether you’re a six-figure seller or scaling toward eight, this is a must-watch if peace of mind is on your 2025 wishlist.

    💡 Key Takeaways:
    -Account suspensions can crush your cash flow—and your confidence
    -ASIN suspensions are far more common and often harder to predict
    -Most consultants charge thousands with no guarantee, and little vetting
    Seller Defender is a monthly insurance-backed service with no upfront consultant fees
    -Top-tier consultants work your case within hours of suspension—no DIY needed
    -If they fail, you get a $10,000 payout to recover or rebuild
    -Limited-time pricing: $199/month for life if you sign up now

  • The #1 Reason Amazon Ads Fail (It’s Not Budget)
    Apr 11 2025

    What’s really behind underperforming Amazon ads? (Hint: It’s not your budget.) In this episode of The Amazon Strategist Show, John sits down with Noemi Bolojan, Co-Founder of Scale Wave, to unpack what truly drives—or kills—Amazon ad success in 2025 and beyond.

    From the rise of AI and FOMO to the art of nailing your product’s life stage, Noemi shares battle-tested insights for Amazon sellers who want real growth—without chasing shiny objects.

    Whether you're struggling with ad conversions or drowning in conflicting strategies, this episode will give you the clarity (and focus) you need.

    🔑 Top Takeaways:

    • Budget isn’t your problem—conversion rates are.
    • Flashy tactics won’t fix a broken foundation.
    • AI is powerful, but not a silver bullet for every seller.
    • FOMO leads to bad marketing decisions.
    • Most sellers overlook their product’s life stage.
    • Hiring wrong slows you down—ask better questions.
    • Great ads only work if the basics are dialed in.
    • Focus and discipline outpace hustle every time.
    • Ads should amplify your strengths, not mask your weaknesses.
    • Long-term growth comes from mastering fundamentals.
