Appreciate the tips. As always you have a fantastic way of explaining things. But I'm also gonna complain about that thumbnail as many have done here as well. To be honest I've only noticed after seeing the complaints. I clicked on the video because of the title itself and also because I try to watch and like all your videos to support the channel as you're my favorite RU-vidr. You don't need the false ad thumbnail, my man! The quality of your videos are more than enough. Much love!
It's called marketing and that's how you persuade people obviously you won't find something 💯 off. if you do think it is true you are just a dunce and overall everything else is very factual so stop being so petty
@@TrickyPage Imagine meat riding a youtuber .Lying to your audience is how you persuade people what ???????? , you do know that false advertisement is illegal right? And flinging insults too? Your life must suck.
Honestly didn’t know about the review searching, had to do extended searching most of the time 😅 Also i don’t know why there’s people getting mad at the thumbnail, you have to be so gullible to actually think its real. Literally just marketing but it’s okay though, it shows us how smart you are 😭
About bonus tip, I always (unless essential) add cart to move to save for later. Not only it controls impulse buy but also it becomes sort of a price tracker, everytime you visit the cart amazon will show you which items the price increased or decreased and by how much. A good way to know which items really are priced properly.
I do the same thing. I’m not trying to be tricky or anything it’s just easier for me to do since I’m not sure why the ♡ button and save for later are seperate.
@@aenoofficial after google play music fucked me in the ass by moving over to youtube music and trying to make me repurchase albums or be forced to listen to ads, I went right back to physical media. I want to OWN what I purchase
Hey Frank, dont listen to the people who diss you without watching. We really appreciate these tips and the time you spent to share them! Have a great day and cheers.
@@UrAveragePlayer0 I agree they're useful, but if the tips get you to buy more products than average, Amazon wins. So it's possible it was paid for by Amazon in a bid to maximize sales.
no, this video isn't sponsored AS STATED IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE VIDEO HELLO but he does buy a lot from Amazon and he knows a lot of his viewership does as well.
I love the AI thing. I use the Amazon app on my iPhone and I remember when it was introduced fairly recently. I was so amused with it lol. Its answers are mostly based on customer reviews or some info in the description as far as I’ve seen.
To add to your Keep in your cart tip: Theres a button thats called "Save it for later" so you wont receive notifications pressuring you about your cart.
Thank you for the tip on filtering the reviews. I wasn't aware for a long time that Amazon listed its reviews like that. I can't fathom the rationale for it.

@@TrickyPage so u do agree it was click bait…lol I just suggested a title change and post a question. what made you believe i thought I could get something 100 off?
@@L31-L31 its a joke. idk why people are considering this clickbait. anyone that sees 100% off amazon!1!11!!!! and believes it, they aren't that smart. its a joke not clickbait
@@billywhizz3766 I’m not just talking about the pic. The pic plus the title. I agree with u that the pic is not believable. As I stated earlier, I did not fall for the picture.
this thumbnail was not clickbait b/c it was so exaggerated you should not have believed it lol if you saw that and that 'yeah free amazon hack' that's on you
Amazon has started putting that info bar at a random location between the top of the page and where the reviews start. It makes it harder to find when it's not right before the reviews if the page has a ton of random product advertising and info graphics from the manufacturer. Also I don't know that I would trust the AI results. I still typically click on the "Customer Q&A's" and "Customer Reviews" to hopefully get info from actual people. It'd be nice if the AI result also cited a source so I could check for myself.
There's practically no limit to monthly payments just depends on how the algorithm views you. I've been offered an overpriced 2500$ rtx4090 and a 6000$ camera on the monthly payments scheme.
Whenever the thumbnail gets changed, the original clickbait thumbnail is getting a ton of hate because it shows a ps5 with a photoshopped “free” pricetag on it with the title “secret amazon tricks”

Gotta be honest here… I don’t see that thumbnail as clickbait. Nobody should be thinking you’re gonna be able to get a free Playstation. Lol. Dude was just messing around. Enjoyed the video.
Amazon does want you to know about these things so you buy more things from them. I get it. You are a creator and have to make a living. Just wish youtube was not ad land.
Regarding Tip #2: It's the sellers who are abusing this "color"-variant system to group entirely unrelated items together in order to benefit from the positive reviews one of those items gets. In my opinion, this imemdiately marks untrustworthy seller and, as others have already said here, should be heavily penalized by amazon.
Dont get the dislike of semi click bait titles. Man has got bills to pay and the video was informative. People care too much about the video title rather than the substance of the video itself.
It has literally nothing to do with the title. It's the thumbnail people have issues with and the fact RFP is ignoring the criticism entirely says a lot.
@@themannmitchell …so you acknowledge I start every auction at $1 - correct. I can’t control what people choose to pay. As many times as things go for retail I lose just as much on things going under. Sold a $1300 laptop for just $850. $140 keycap sets go for $20.
@@randomfrankp okay so 2 items out of how many? It’s easy to tell that your just wanting peoples money and are very misleading. It shows in thumbnail of this video. Anything for clicks
@@randomfrankp Like how you completely ignored the thumbnail part of it. It's quite obvious that you've started valuing revenue over respecting your audience.
Please dont use click bait it really made me not want to watch this video which sucks because the video was pretty helpful. I been a consistent viewer of your channel and enjoy the content but dont enjoy the cheap tactics for views.
While these tips are somewhat useful depending on use, the garbage click bait thumbnail is a huge L, kinda ruins the trust us viewers had with you bro You're better than this, you don't need to do this. EDIT: if you change it, this comment is more for a notice to future viewers, the original thumbnail was showing a "free" PS5 listing
I knew about a lot of these, but some I didn’t. This was very helpful and I like these types of videos. Please consider more of these not just on Amazon.

@TrickyPage I didn't think it was real. But many nieve people will and it's dishonest marketing. Yeah it works but so does robbing someone. Doesn't make it right
@@Jack_Napier23 it said get a ps5 for free. if it was like 40-60% off yea id agree but its so fucking obviously a joke. if you don't see that then you're not too smart are you
I wouldn’t recommend using monthly payment. If you need to pay monthly for an item, it means you DON’T have the money. Don’t buy stuff with money you don’t have. It is unnecessary, stupid, not responsible, however you name it. SAVE MONEY. Only buy when you can lose the money. IMO Frank should have mentioned this, and should never advice people to buy stuff with monthly payment just because they don’t have the money at the moment.
I appreciate that tip on filtering the reviews for the actual item you're shopping for, not the 200 other products by the same manufacturer. lol amazon bs

If it said 40% off or something like that in the thumbnail then i'd agree. but it fucking says 100% off. if you saw that and thought omg i can get a ps5 for free and then clicked on it... you arent very bright are you. its not clickbait its literally a joke. (unless you're as naive as a 4 year old)
@@2PacStoleMyBike you are the one who clicked on the video so I guess you are also a sucker and you just want to complain about some one else's videos just because you have low quality gaming videos which don't make any income
Great tips for people for whom it's their very first day on amazon. Everyone else knows this stuff (except maybe keepa which you should definitely not use if you value your privacy). There aren't too many shopping sites where you don't have to proactively apply coupons and codes. The review sorting is for listings where there are multiple options/versions of things you can order, and it isn't hidden, it's right at the top of the list of reviews, always has been, or at least has been for a very long time. The problem with that is it doesn't adjust the star rating bar chart graphic to be only for the version you choose, so if the version you choose has a lot of reviews it's still pretty hard to get a quick overall view of how good it is. The Q&A feature has been there forever but it is trash now. The AI generated answers are NOT always accurate. The old version of Q&A you could read other shoppers' questions and the answers they received. Now it's down to just the AI answer, and when that fails to be helpful you can "post" it (it's not actually visible anywhere anymore) and any answers that come in are sent to you by email. I don't care about the thumbnail, that's standard clickbait stuff, but what I don't like is the headline that these "tips" are "secret" things that "they" (whoever "they" are) don't want you to know. Of course amazon sellers want you to know these things, that's why they have them splashed all over every product page.

sorry did you actually click on this thinking you were going to get a ps5 for free? if you consider this thumbnail clickbait then maybe youre just not intelligent. anyone with a brain will realize its not clickbait, because of how fucking blatant it is
@@randomfrankp no didn’t actually, that’s my bad I definitely will now! My RU-vid doesn’t give all your videos in my sub box even though I’ve been subbed almost since you started 🤣

These holier than thou people whining about the "clickbait thumbnail"? Move on, for real. Frank puts out excellent quality videos across the board. What sad life do you live? Yeessh.
