3P Mercury just released an automated sourcing feature, and it's the piece that was always missing. Finding leads was never the hard part, finding a supplier for each one was. This feature does both: it finds ASINs that match your criteria, then crawls the internet to find potential suppliers for those products, checks whether you're ungated, and ...
I've been selling on Amazon since 2015, and one platform I keep seeing sellers add on is Whatnot, a live auction platform where you sell to customers in real time. I sat down with Vernon Johns, a member of my Legends community, who went from a 50k to 70K a month Amazon business to going all in on Whatnot with his family.
We get into the honest pros and cons of Whatnot vs Amazon: the cash flow cycle (Vernon gets paid in 3 to 4 day...
Comment "Wholesale" below for my Wholesale Email templates for brand and distributor outreach.
I built a professional website for an Amazon wholesale business in 5 minutes and 21 seconds using ChatGPT, from a single prompt. If you're doing wholesale on Amazon and reaching out to brands with no website, this is the excuse-killer, because brands check you out before they partner with you, and now there's no reason not to have a pre...
Amazon just announced a major change to its commercial liability insurance requirements for sellers, and it takes effect November 2nd, 2026. In the past you could wait to get insurance until you hit $10,000 in sales in a month. Under the new rule, if you sell products in certain enhanced-safety categories, you'll need coverage regardless of your sales volume, even on day one, even on $1 of sales.

If you've got thousands of leads sitting in your database, the problem isn't finding more, it's knowing which ones are actually worth buying today.

Storefront stalking on Amazon just got automated. In this video I show how I track competitor storefronts inside 3P Mercury, with no limit on how many sellers you can follow, so every time they add a new product it lands in my list ready to source. Then I take those products and run them through my sourcing process, because a tracked ASIN is not a bu...

3P Mercury just released an automated lead finder, and I set it up to pull 2,000 leads an hour into my vault, gate checked against my account, which comes out to about 24,000 leads a day running on its own. In this 3P Mercury Demo & Tutorial, I show the exact setup I use, then I walk through what actually matters, how I source those leads, because ...
Keepa just released a new Seller Lookup tool, and it changes how you find sellers to storefront stalk on Amazon. Instead of only searching one seller ID at a time, you can now target sellers on purpose, by feedback score, review count, location, category, and even the primary brand they sell. In this video I walk through the full filter setup, then combine it with my free Chrome extension, ReplenScout, so you can track the best sel...
ArbiSource just released a Restriction Tracker that maps brands your Amazon account is gated and ungated in, then attempts to ungate the restricted ones for you automatically in the background. It ran across about 65,000 brands on my account, and after its first pass it had attempted and gained ungating in 18,599 brands I was previously restricted in. In this video I show the full run, the results on my own account, and how I'd act...
Tracking other sellers is one of the fastest ways to source on Amazon, their storefront becomes your list of products to check. The problem is knowing which sellers are actually worth tracking. In this video I walk through the exact method I use to find the best sellers to track, using a Keepa Product Finder filter to surface the right listings, then tracking the FBA sellers on them with Replen Scout so you get alerted for free eve...
Jimmy Smith interviews Amazon Influencer Andy Ly, who earned $40,000 in June 2026 largely by focusing on product selection, high-retention video strategies, and Creator Connections rather than posting maximum volume. Andy shares his early struggles ($0 month one, $140 month two), the breakthrough of a high-commission Creator Connections product, and how product investing plus brand deals helped him reach five-figure and then $20,00...
