The Billion Dollar Sellers community recently hosted the 8fig-sponsored Halloween Hack BDSS Contest, where top Amazon sellers and eCommerce experts shared their most valuable strategies. The event, hosted by Kevin King, featured 19 sellers offering over 20 impactful hacks, tools, and techniques to help you optimize your Amazon business.
From PPC optimization to customer support tricks, we’ve gathered the most powerful hacks right here for you. Let’s dive in:
Struggling with negative reviews that violate Amazon’s terms of service? Sean Elias introduced a tool that makes removing these easier. Input your product’s ASIN into the Amazon Negative Review Finder and Removal Tool to analyze up to four years of negative reviews. The tool will flag those eligible for removal, allowing you to open a ticket with Amazon, and follow the provided suggestions for swift resolution. This simple step can boost your overall review score, improving your product’s credibility.
Stay ahead of trends with Sean Elias’s Market Insight Tool. This tool analyzes up to 100 ASINs at once, generating reports that highlight top-selling colors, sales trends, and revenue patterns. Using this data, you can make data-driven decisions, adjusting your inventory and marketing strategies to capitalize on current trends.
Expanding from Amazon to Walmart just got easier. Jason Chan outlines a streamlined method to transfer your listings. Instead of manually uploading each product, you can download your Amazon Category Listing Report, adjust it, and upload it directly to Walmart in minutes. This bulk-editing method saves time and simplifies your expansion to another marketplace.
Izabella Ritz shared a game-changing hack for product research using SmartScout and ChatGPT. Download datasets from SmartScout, then use ChatGPT to analyze and summarize the products based on your criteria – reviews, revenues, and other filters. The AI will provide product suggestions that meet your preferences, making your decision-making faster and more effective.

Devin Dorosh revealed his formula for tripling subscribers in under a year. First, calculate your customer lifetime value (LTV) and repeat purchase rate using tools like Nozzle.ai. Then, set up a Subscribe and Save coupon to maximize first-time subscriber discounts. Finally, focus your Amazon PPC strategy on customer acquisition, prioritizing lifetime profits over immediate ad profitability. This method can significantly boost your subscriber base and long-term revenue.
Naeem emphasized the importance of creating a focused customer avatar for your listings. By tailoring your images and messaging to a specific audience, you can elevate the perceived value of your product and justify higher pricing. This focused marketing approach leads to stronger brand loyalty and better sales conversion.
Error 8541 can be a major roadblock when updating listings on Amazon. Tom McCabe offers a step-by-step solution: submit a letter of affiliation, a GS1 certificate, and update your ‘About Us’ page with the correct text to resolve the conflict. Following this process can get your listing updates approved faster, especially during critical sales periods like Q4.
Want to boost the credibility of your listings? Jenna Daly shared a hack to multiply reviews quickly by creating multiple product listings using different picture angles and titles for the same product (e.g., “for men,” “for women”). Enroll each variation in Amazon Vine, gather reviews, then merge the listings into one powerful product page. This approach increases both your review count and search visibility.
TikTok isn’t just for entertainment; it’s a powerful tool for product discovery. Michelle Barnum Smith demonstrated how to use TikTok Hashtags to find untapped, high-traffic keywords relevant to your products. Using the right hashtags can help your shoppable posts reach a larger audience organically, giving your brand a competitive edge.
Talal Asad explained how to access Amazon’s coveted Product Support Button. By creating a professional manufacturer website with proper contact information and UPC codes, you can request this feature, allowing customers to contact you directly for troubleshooting. This reduces returns and improves customer satisfaction.
