  • Amazon Reselling Has Changed - What’s Working in 2025
    Jun 23 2025

    Amazon arbitrage isn’t what it used to be — and honestly, that’s a good thing.

    I’ve been selling on Amazon since 2015, and these past few years have been the most challenging. In this video, I’m breaking down why traditional arbitrage is getting harder… and what I’m doing now to keep growing, stay compliant, and scale smarter.

    I’ll show you exactly how I’ve built a system that tracks 25,000+ ASINs, monitors ROI in real-time, and helps me stay ahead without getting burned by restrictions or lost leads.

    💡 What you’ll learn:

    • Why the old way of sourcing doesn’t work anymore

    • How to use tools like Keepa & Replan Dashboard to stay profitable

    • What I track in my Evergreen Sourcing System (and why it works)

    If you’re serious about building a business that lasts — not just flipping random clearance items — this is for you.

  • 3 Steps to Grow Past $10k-$30k/Month on Amazon
    Jun 16 2025

    I know what it feels like to be stuck between $10K to $30K/month on Amazon. You’re hustling hard but not moving forward — I’ve been there.

    In this video, I’m sharing the real reason most Amazon sellers hit a plateau… and how to break past it without burning out.

    Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped thousands of sellers escape the “bottleneck business” and scale to new heights by installing systems that do the heavy lifting. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the same 3-step process I use to help sellers buy back their time:

    ✅ Step 1: Time Inventory & Task Audit

    ✅ Step 2: Build Plug-and-Play Systems

    ✅ Step 3: Multiply Your Time with Smart Delegation

    If you’re still doing everything yourself, you might feel productive — but you’re capping your growth. Let me show you how to shift from chaos to control.
