Great overview! Yes, less competition on listings has been nice compared to just a few years ago.

Well-written and refreshingly honest — it doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of the grind

Keeping 100 items in play at a given time seems daunting. Obviously you work up to that and have systems in place over time.

It's really not that complex.

A typical day of sourcing looks something like this:

- 20 units of item 1

- 10 units of item 2

- 50 units of item 3

- 5 units of item 4

You're not going to keep the same items in stock year round.

Once you get really good at sourcing it just becomes about putting in enough hours every week and offloading admin work / prep

Happy you're back! Have ran amazon biz for "fun" for a couple years after discovering your course (which was well worth it). Have always found it difficult to find high volume products. Either the listing is low volume or purchase qty from suppliers is super low. Would love to see content on how to scale and the different strategies for taking sales from say ~$5k/mo to $25K+/mo.

You're not going to like this answer but the only difference between 10k/month and 100k/month is just how much better you can get at sourcing.

Outside of getting an admin VA and using a prep center, the rest depends on how much capital you can deploy - there's no secret strategy that the rest of us are hiding.
