April numbers: Sales: $6,127.65 | Orders: 120 | Units: 132 Last month my goal was to hit $6K in sales in a month by the end of the June. Ended up crossing $6K in the very first month of the quarter, so that was a nice surprise. April was also the last month of coaching with @Anthony Mancini . After three months, I've built enough of a foundation in the sourcing process, reading data properly, and managing cash flow and feel pretty confident to continue on my own. On the financials, after business expenses I essentially broke even. No profit yet, but also no real loss. At this stage I am fine with it because I'm at least not losing money unless i make a buying mistake and it's at least paying for the tools/expenses. The inventory I'm holding is capital working for me, and the margins will tighten up as I get better at sourcing and my account continues to age and open up. The biggest thing I've taken away from these three months isn't any single tactic. It's just the confidence that this is learnable now that i've gained the proof of concept. You put in the time, you make your mistakes early, and it compounds. Heading into May with a cleaner process and a better eye for what to buy. That's enough to keep going. I am projecting to have my first decently profitable month this May.

These last 2 weeks I have been sourcing for hours a day using diffrent strategies. I found some products with potential but now when I go to source I feel stuck and going in a cirlce because im seeing the same sellers and the same products. I feel like im struggling to finding new sellers. If anyone has any advice that would be very appreciated !

I want you to be bad at Amazon OA. Not forever. Just for a while. Because here is the thing nobody talks about in month one. You Are Supposed To Be Bad Think back to your first day at your current job. You sucked. Guaranteed. You did not know where the files were. You asked basic questions. You made mistakes that seem stupid now. That was normal. Expected even. So why do people quit Amazon in month three because they are not profitable yet? You have been doing this for 90 days. Of course you are not crushing it yet. The Six Month Wall In six months, you will laugh at how you thought about inventory in month one. In a year, you will not even recognize the seller you were today. It only makes sense that years one and two are when you gain momentum. Not week one. But everyone wants the result without the transformation. They see $5K month screenshots and think "I should be there already." No. That seller spent 18 months learning what you are learning right now. The Real Filter And if it was easy on day one, everybody would do it. There would be no opportunity left. Canadian OA is hard because it filters out the tourists. Currency conversion sucks. Duties eat margin. Volume is lower than the US. That is not a bug. It is a feature. The hard part is what keeps lazy people out. It keeps sellers who want passive income without work out. It keeps people who quit at the first Keepa headache out. What Makes It Easy The fact that it is hard makes it easy. Read that again. Because once you get through the hard part, you are competing against way fewer people than in any US market. Same products. Less sellers. More money per sale. The barrier to entry is what creates the opportunity. Your Paycheck Is Your Best Investor Something else from the coaching calls. New sellers always want to quit their 9-to-5 in month three. The ones who actually make it? They use their paycheck to fund inventory for 12 months. Your day job is not holding you back.

You’re feeding Dragon One but starving Dragon Two. Dragon One is finding new leads. New products to test. New ASINs to add to your pipeline. This is the exciting part. The treasure hunt. Dragon Two is staying in stock on the products that already sell. Most sellers spend 100% of their time on Dragon One. They source for hours every day. They add new products every week. And they wonder why revenue stays flat. Here’s why: Your new leads are lottery tickets. Some hit, most don’t. Maybe 1 in 5 turns into a consistent seller. That’s normal. But your winners? The products that already proved themselves after 1-2 restocks? Those are your guaranteed revenue. When you go OOS on a winner, you don’t just lose today’s sales. You lose Buy Box momentum. You lose velocity. Sometimes you lose it for good because another seller takes your spot while you were gone. The math is brutal: 10 products making $8/unit, selling 5/month each = $400/month. Go OOS on half of them? You just lost $200. Meanwhile that entire week of sourcing new leads might generate $50 in its first month. Maybe. The fix: Spend at least 30% of your sourcing time on restock research. Check your top sellers weekly. Know when they go on sale at the retailer. Know how fast you burn through inventory. Build a restock calendar. New leads fill your pipeline.Restocks fill your bank account. Feed both dragons.

Hi guys, I wanted to share an update on my second month of FBA progress under the coaching of @Anthony Mancini Last month, I had my first sale on February 10th and managed to reach $1,111.27 in sales, with 21 orders and 28 units sold by the end of the month. I was just getting my feet wet, learning the fundamentals like reading Keepa charts at a basic level, navigating Sellerboard and Seller Central, using Keepa’s Product Finder to source, and building my seller ID base while understanding what the different settings do. March results (Amazon data is missing sales from the last day of the month): - Sales : $2994.09 - Orders : 77 - Units Sold : 84 - Capital Spent on Inventory : 4,147.14 - Inventory Units Purchased : 202 March has been the month where I’ve learned the most, in a lot more detail, especially when it comes to using Keepa at a more advanced level. I started utilizing the “Track Product” feature almost every time I find a lead that is ungated and sourceable but where the Buy Box price is too low. This way, I get notified whenever the price reaches a certain threshold, making it profitable for me to buy. It’s a very useful tool, and I’ve already gotten sales because of it. Another key thing I learned from @Anthony Mancini 's mentorship is how to understand the “Data” section at the top of the Keepa chart. Learning how to read “Offers” and “Buy Box Statistics” has been instrumental in my decision-making when purchasing leads. It’s probably one of the most valuable pieces of information I’ve gotten so far. I won’t go too deep into it, because as Snoop Dogg says, “The game is meant to be sold, not told.” meaning some information out there is either meant to be earned through hard life lessons and losing money/time from mistakes, or you can do what I did and learn from people who have the knowledge and have been through the difficult times to build upon them. If it were given out too easily and freely, anything worthwhile would inevitably become saturated very quickly.
