How to Actually Read Keepa Graphs (The Canadian Way)
How to Actually Read Keepa Graphs (The Canadian Way) You're in FBA Canadian Academy, which means you're not here to play around. So let me give you something real. I've been doing this for 4 years. $117k/month in sales on Amazon.ca at peak. And I still use Keepa on literally every single purchase decision. Not because I don't trust my gut - because my gut has cost me thousands when I ignored the data. This post is going to save you money. Probably a lot of it. But I'm also going to be honest with you about something at the end. Your going to want to read until the end THE PROBLEM NOBODY TALKS ABOUT You've probably watched some YouTube videos about Keepa. Maybe from American sellers doing $500k/month on Amazon.com. Here's the thing: their advice will get you killed up here. When some US guru says "BSR under 50,000 is golden" - yeah, in THEIR marketplace, that might mean 100+ units a month. There are 350 million Americans buying stuff. Canada? We've got 40 million people. Our market is roughly 1/10th the size. A BSR of 50,000 here might mean 3 sales a month. Maybe. Then there's the 3% DST they tack onto our fees. The harder ungating. The slower velocity on everything. American advice applied to the Canadian market = expensive lessons. The flip side? Less competition. Easier to establish a presence. Fewer sharks in the water. The barrier to entry IS the moat. But you need Keepa skills tuned for Canada specifically, or you're just guessing with extra steps. WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT When you pull up a Keepa graph, most people see chaos. Squiggly lines going everywhere. Here's what matters: Green Line (Sales Rank/BSR) - This is the heartbeat. When the line drops, a sale happened. Counterintuitive but you'll get used to it. Steady drops = steady sales. Flat line with occasional drops = slow mover. Orange Line (Amazon) - When you see solid orange, Amazon is selling directly. They have infinite inventory and will win the Buy Box 90% of the time. Unless you KNOW they're going out of stock, this is usually a "stay away."

How long did it take you to feel like your cash flow was truly established for restocking—especially with Amazon payouts taking time to hit your bank?

Wow congrats.
Looking to level up my product sourcing strategy (FBA & FBM – Canada)
Hi @Anthony Mancini, I’m also based in Quebec. One of my Facebook friends recommended your videos, especially your guidance on FBM shipping templates — that advice helped me a lot and I’ve already seen an increase in sales since applying it. Now that I’m actively doing FBM, I feel my main bottleneck is product sourcing. I have Keepa (highly recommended), but I don’t feel like I’m using it to its full potential yet. I still rely heavily on sourcing through SAS and manual methods. I’d really appreciate your insight on: - What sourcing strategy you recommend focusing on at this stage - How to better use Keepa to support sourcing decisions (especially for FBM) Thanks in advance — your content has been very helpful so far.

@Anthony Mancini Thank you so much
I need some content Ideas
You guys are my most dedicated viewers. You have taken the step to join me in this community to build a platform for canadians! I could just make sourcing videos like ive done in the past, but the truth is, sourcing is similar and I feel like a bunch of sourcing videos would be repetitive. Or maybe im wrong and thats what you want? Please give me some ideas in the comments on what you would like to see!
