Don’t tell people your dreams.

Okay, this might be one of my favorite MIP features yet. With Power Search 2.0, I can run a live search, plug in a keyword, set the filters I care about, and watch MIP pull opportunities in real time. Then once I find what I want, I can select the results, choose my saved

If you’re looking at Multi Influencer Pro and wondering which plan you actually need, I’d keep it simple. For most AIP creators, I’d start with the middle tier. It already gives you a solid amount of usage for thumbnails, store scans, and the other MIP features, and you can

Not every Creator Connections campaign deserves a yes. Before I request a product, I want to know what I’m actually working with. What’s the price point? How many units are selling every month? How many influencer videos are already competing for placement? How crowded are the

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

One of my favorite things about MIP is how much time it saves me on outreach. Instead of messaging brands one by one, I can select the campaigns I want, use one of my saved templates, and send everything out in bulk. Simple, efficient, and no message limit. For AIP, that

Other Amazon Influencers are basically doing product research for me. 😂 Using Multi Influencer Pro (MIP), I can source products other AIP creators are already reviewing and immediately see the data I actually care about. Sales per month. BSR. Product price. How many

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

This is one of my favorite ways to use MIP because it actually affects what I personally buy on Amazon. If I already need something, say a water bottle, I’m not just picking one randomly. I’m looking at which water bottle has the best opportunity for me as an AIP creator

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

I finally made the full switch to Multi Influencer Pro and genuinely, I have zero regrets. I used Viralvue for a while, but MIP just makes more sense for the way I actually work. I can filter Creator Connections campaigns by price, sales, days remaining, competition, and more,

The energy will always speak louder than the performance.

This is becoming one of my favorite little AIP systems. Review the product. Keep what I actually want. List the rest on eBay. Store it until it sells. Everything in this pile is worth $30+ on Amazon, and I usually price it a little under Amazon since most of it is basically

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

AIP has me testing a lot of products, but I obviously don’t need to keep everything. So I’ve gotten pretty intentional with where it all goes. Keep the ones I actually want. Sell the ones that make sense to flip. Give away the random extras that aren’t worth listing. And yes,

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

Nothing humbles an e-commerce seller faster than two shipping labels deciding they want to become one. 😭 One wrong pull and now I’m reprinting labels, figuring out which box is which, and creating a problem I absolutely did not need. So naturally, we perform microscopic

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to uncover better margins in vitamins, supplements, and food? Multipacks + bundles. There’s definitely money in single-unit listings, but some of my better opportunities come from looking at what happens when the product is sold in 2-packs,

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

A product can still be profitable and still not be worth chasing anymore. This one used to make me around $50 a unit. Then more sellers jumped on the listing, margins compressed, and now I’m closer to $20–$30 a unit. Still profitable? Yes. Worth going as hard as I used to?

One thing I’ve learned in business, e-commerce, corporate, honestly life in general… quality over quantity. The person fighting you the hardest over a few dollars is often the same person who ends up costing you the most time, energy, and headache. Meanwhile, someone else

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

This customer paid $57 for next-day shipping on an $80 product. Meanwhile I’m over here adding $4 to my cart to avoid a shipping fee. 😂 It cost me about $40 to actually ship it priority, so I still made an extra $10 on the shipping alone. But the real question is… What tax

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

This is exactly why I say, list it anyway. Some of the most random things have sold for me on eBay, including stuff I would’ve assumed nobody wanted. A random car phone mount? Sold. Other little odds and ends? Sold. At this point, I treat eBay like my online flea market.

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

The money goes out so the money can come back in. Allegedly.

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

Amazon said no. Walmart said no. So… eBay it is. 😂 I’ve been sitting on this Tarte inventory for months because I got gated on the brand on Amazon, then eventually couldn’t sell it on Walmart either. At that point, I wasn’t chasing some huge profit. I just wanted the

Okay, this might officially be my favorite AIP find yet. 😂 It literally turns your phone into a Game Boy and the nostalgia hit me IMMEDIATELY. Was I good at it? Absolutely not. Did I care? Also no. This is the kind of random product that makes opening AIP packages way too

[Christina Chiu | E-Commerce + AIP @_ecomwhisperer]

Today’s AIP haul was… aggressively random. 😂 A matcha whisk set. A rechargeable tire inflator. A glove dispenser I absolutely do not need. Sea moss gel. A T-shirt. Mushroom coffee. Moissanite studs. Supplements. And a few other little surprises. This is honestly one of my
