  • My favourite podcast by far!

    I’ve struggled with Amazon PPC for years, with over 400 SKU’s I find it all a bit overwhelming and suffer big time from “data paralysis”! Listening to the Badger Den has helped me learn so much in my understanding of the beast that is Amazon PPC. Michael’s data driven approach appeals to the spreadsheet nerd in me and I’d highly recommend anyone who’s serious about advertising on Amazon to listen to each and every episode.

How to Find Your Amazon Cross-Sales and True Organic Sales
Q: What started the deep dive into cross-sell analytics with the new reporting tool?

How to Use AI & Spreadsheets to Prevent Amazon Stock-Outs
Q: How does the dashboard change your approach to advertising when stock levels shift?

How to Use AI & Spreadsheets to Prevent Amazon Stock-Outs
Q: Walk us through what the spreadsheet actually tells you and what you scan for.
