🚴 The Era of Drone Bicycles: Coming in 2026

🤖 Back to the Future is here! 🚀

In a world increasingly driven by robotics and automation, the future of innovation is unfolding faster than we ever imagined.

Think back to the movie Back to the Future 🛸, where flying cars and hoverboards felt like distant dreams.

Today, we’re on the verge of seeing those once "unrealistic" products become reality. Take drone bicycles 🚴‍♂️🚁, for example—a prototype that’s already being developed, where people can literally ride the skies.

As this tech revolution takes off, it’s time to think about how you can get ahead by investing in robotic products.

Being one of the first to create something truly innovative can position you as a market leader.

⚙️ While robotics might seem futuristic now, it won't be long before it's part of our everyday lives, and consumers will be eager to pay for these groundbreaking innovations.

💡 This is your chance to be ahead of the curve and make money by offering products that people are waiting for—because what's uncommon today could be the next big thing tomorrow. 🌟

🕵️‍♀️ Spy on Your Competitors with SmartScout (total sales, ad spend, in-stock rate, etc.)

Could you imagine if, 10 years ago, when some of us were launching businesses on Amazon, we had access to our competitors' data? 🤯 

Back then, it would've been a game-changer.

Fast forward to today, and Amazon’s release of brand analytics has opened doors for software that interprets this data exactly how sellers need it.

But here’s the catch—not every software out there is built by an actual Amazon seller who truly understands what we need on the inside.

That’s why I tip my hat 🎩 to Scott Needham.

He took Amazon’s brand analytics and built phenomenal insights through his platform SmartScout.

Now, we can easily peek 👀 into a competitor’s estimated monthly revenue, see how many subcategories they sell in, know which category brings them the most money 💰 - all in one clean dashboard.

Top-performing products?

✔️ Revenue sharing with other sellers?

✔️ And the best part, you can track their search term traffic and how those terms shift over 30 days.

📈On top of that, you’re able to see even more granular details like organic and sponsored wins, market share, and much more—so you never have to enter the market blind again.

🚫 And, of course, the same dashboard shows how much they’re spending on PPC—a crucial factor for us sellers. 💡

Here’s the best part: you can simply type in your competitor’s name 🧐 on the main page and get some insights for free.

I’m dropping some screenshots below for you to check out, and I highly recommend signing up for the demo.

Using SmartScout will help you make way more informed decisions—and save a lot of money in the process.

💸 Enjoy! 🎯

💡 Hack to Interpret Data Like a Pro

When it comes to creating and interpreting data from Amazon, remember that ChatGPT isn’t just for casual conversations or advice on headaches or parenting .

You can actually put it to work to analyze your Amazon data too 📊.

Here's what you're going to do: use tools like Amazon Product Opportunity Explorer, SmartScout, Helium 10, or DataDive 🛠️.

Download or screenshot the data, upload it to the conversation with ChatGPT and then ask to process it 🧠.

The trick is to guide it step by step—ask GPT to extract high-intent keywords that impact your sales 💰, or identify keywords that can generate the most revenue based on your competitors' data.

You can even dive into the proportions between keywords that bring the biggest results with minimal PPC spend and low title density 🎯.

And don’t stop there—you can also ask AI to create visuals and graphics 📈 from this data, helping you understand trends more clearly or to present them to your team. Don’t spend hours going through endless rows of numbers 🕒.

Let AI handle the data crunching and even create visual aids for you in just five to seven minutes ⏱️, including all your follow-up questions!

Here’s a chart I asked AI to create, showing how many times I mentioned different tools during my product validation process.

💥 Saturated Product Went Out of Stock in a Month and Made the Owner $30K!

Sometimes we get so confused with oversaturated products, and I never recommend anyone launch a product where you'll be fighting for price with your competitors. However, here's an example of one product that went out of stock after simply launching pillows and running out of stock within a month.

They kept their price at $59.99, received 14 reviews, and all they did was run a PPC campaign. There was really no magic.

One of their primary search terms was Hilton Hotel Pillow, which technically they cannot use, but somehow they managed to rank based on high search volume and high purchase intent keywords like feather pillows, hotel pillows, and goose down pillows.

They focused on hotel collections and were able to win the market quickly, but now they are out of stock.

And would I recommend selling this product?

Absolutely not. But can I say that with the right strategy, anything is possible? Absolutely yes.

Have fun launching your products, and always make sure to validate your data—don’t just go after success stories!
