Think you need a huge following to make money online? In this video, we break down how the Amazon Influencer Program can help creators earn monthly income with small followings, minimal engagement, and part-time hours.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• What the Amazon Influencer Program is

• How creators make money with Amazon’s audience instead of their own

• How Jimmy and Grant reached $1,500 to $2,000+ per month

• How to get approved with a small social media account

Most Amazon sellers are wasting gated leads… and it’s costing them serious profit.

If you’re throwing away restricted or gated leads, you’re deleting future revenue.

In this video, you’ll learn how smart Amazon sellers use gated leads to:

✔ Get ungated with purpose

✔ Make better sourcing decisions

✔ Build a long-term profitable pipeline

✔ Leverage auto-ungating over time

✔ Expand to Walmart & other marketplaces

Most sellers treat gated products like dead ends. But in reality, they’re future opportunities hiding in plain sight.

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:34:49 -0500

Arbisource vs Nepeto, which Amazon sourcing tool is actually better for scaling your Amazon FBA business?

In this full breakdown, I compare Arbisource and Nepeto side by side so you can decide which sourcing software is right for your experience level, workflow, and growth goals.

If you are doing online arbitrage, wholesale, storefront scanning, reverse sourcing, Amazon to Amazon flips, or Shopify scraping, this video will help you understand:

Pre vetted leads comparison

Storefront scanning differences

Master search vs reverse search

Live search capabilities

Shopify scraping features

Amazon to Amazon flip alerts

CSV wholesale scanning

Export functionality and lead tracking

Which tool is better for beginners vs advanced sellers

I personally use both tools and share real examples from inside each dashboard so you can see exactly how they perform.

If you are a new Amazon seller, one option may be easier to start with.

If you are experienced and want deeper sourcing functionality, the other might give you an edge.

Important: Always double check matches and ROI before purchasing inventory.

Episode 187 : Amazon Sourcing Has Never Been Easier for New Sellers

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 13:15:02 -0500

Struggling to find profitable Amazon ungated products in 2026? In this video, I break down the exact system I’ve used for over 10 years to find ungated brands and turn one product into hundreds of sourcing opportunities.

Most new sellers quit too early when a product isn’t profitable. That is the mistake.

Instead of chasing random leads, I’ll show you how to:

Find brands you’re already ungated in

Use Keepa to unlock 700+ related ASINs

Reverse source competitors for hidden suppliers

Use tools like Nepetto, ArbaSource, and Quickfinds correctly

Build an evergreen sourcing system

Scale beyond $5,000 per month

This is the same process we teach inside Business Building Legends. It works whether you are just starting or scaling your Amazon FBA business.

If you are tired of hearing that Amazon is saturated and want a real sourcing strategy, this is it.

Still sleeping on your old Amazon products?

You could be sitting on listings that are now selling at higher prices with less competition, and you already have the supplier info. In this video, Jimmy Smith shows you a Keepa-based strategy to re-analyze your old inventory and find products that could be 10x more profitable today.

Using Keepa’s Product Finder and your own seller ID, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify products with rising prices and falling seller counts

• Filter out Amazon listings and IP risk

• Quickly find inventory you can reorder and sell fast

Episode 139: Amazon Reselling Has Changed - What’s Working in 2025

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 13:15:06 -0400

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.

Episode 137: 3 Steps to Grow Past $10k-$30k/Month on Amazon

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 13:15:02 -0400

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.

Let me guess… you’re making more sales on Amazon, maybe even sourcing more products than ever before, but somehow you still feel broke.

I’ve been there—and today I want to show you exactly why that’s happening and how to fix it.

Here’s what we’ll talk about:

👉 Why “profit on paper” means nothing if your money’s stuck

👉 How to track your weekly cash flow like a real business owner

👉 How to make faster inventory decisions that grow your business

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and actually scale with peace of mind, you’re in the right place.

Mon, 12 May 2025 13:40:57 -0400
