In this episode, Mike & Ben break down their Prime Day results, current Amazon earnings, and what’s been working as they continue leaning harder into product selection, storefront audits, & quality over quantity.Ben shares how he hit a record $1,800 day, including $1,500 from Creator Connections, despite only posting 3 videos this month.
Mike also shares how a recent storefront audit helped double results, why he’s averaging around $450 a day, & how he’s now tracking toward what could be a personal-best month.
The conversation covers strong offsite performance, creator rewards progress, & why regular audits of storefronts, links, & ASINs can make a much bigger difference than most creators realize.Mike & Ben also talk about preparing for the next Prime Day & Q4, thinking seasonally 2 to 3 months ahead, staying consistent with uploads, & why many creators miss opportunities simply because they are not planning far enough in advance.The second half of the episode shifts into a much more personal conversation. Ben opens up about separation, divorce, & depression, while Mike shares some of what he has been dealing with physically and mentally through medical issues, withdrawal from pain medication, and past personal loss. The conversation is honest, vulnerable, & centered around pushing forward through dark seasons, giving yourself grace, leaning on community, & doing what you can with the capacity you have each day.If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or entrepreneur trying to improve your results while also navigating real life behind the scenes, this episode is both a practical strategy conversation & a reminder that you do not have to carry hard seasons alone.
