#734 – 7-Figure Amazon Seller With a Full-Time Job

How do you build a 7-figure Amazon brand without quitting your day job or hiring a team? In this episode, Bradley sits down with Jason Ross from Puproar, a longtime listener turned first-time guest, who hit seven figures while working full-time and spending roughly five hours a week on the business.

Jason shares the real origin story: he didn’t start with a perfect product; his first launch (pickleball paddles) fizzled fast. But while that was happening, a dog toy idea started gaining traction, so he cut the loser and went all-in on pets. His unfair advantage is his product strategy: watch what’s trending for humans, then build the pet version and design every product with virality in mind so it performs naturally on TikTok and with affiliates.

You’ll also hear how Jason runs an ultra-lean operation: using Helium 10 tools like Profits to track margins daily, leveraging Search Query Analyzer to find high-converting terms (and attributing six figures in extra revenue to that data), protecting the brand with Amazon Transparency, and navigating seasonal challenges like Q4 inventory and Amazon capacity limits. If you want a blueprint for scaling without building a huge team, this one delivers.
