I started my journey at the beginning of January this year and was quickly overwhelmed and confused by all the information I was getting from online personalities. A lot of the information out there was either outdated, not applicable to Canadian sellers, or just bits and pieces scattered around that would require time and energy to put together, which I did not have because, like most of us, I had responsibilities such as a full-time job, family, etc. I came across Anthony on YouTube and started binging his videos. I quickly realized this guy is an actual legitimate seller in Canada and was giving valuable, actionable advice online for free. I’ve been burned in the past by a couple of different online “gurus” while trying to create a side income for myself, so I was still very skeptical and had trust issues. I joined his Skool community but remained cautious about moving too fast. A week or two later, I realized he really does practice what he preaches, so I joined his 3-month mentorship and these are the results. I had my first sale on February 10, and yesterday, February 25, I reached $1,069.27 in sales. Two weeks of progress, and there are still two more months of weekly interactive video calls ahead. The biggest benefit for me personally has been the direct access to Anthony and how quickly he answers my questions and with passion and detail. I’ll ask for his opinion on a certain lead, and he’ll come back the same day, sometimes within a couple hours, with a full video recording of himself analyzing the Keepa graph. He shows me exactly what to watch out for, whether it’s a good or bad lead, and how to avoid making costly mistakes. For example, there was one lead where everything looked good on the Keepa graph, and I thought I had found a source at a great price because the pictures were exactly the same. I showed it to Anthony, and he noticed in the description that it was actually a 2-pack, while the source I found was not. It might seem like a simple mistake to avoid, but learning how to properly do due diligence is a significant part of the battle.

One of the biggest mistakes I see new Canadian OA sellers make is chasing products with a low buy cost just because the ROI looks decent on paper. Let me give you a real example. You find something for $12 CAD. Sell price is $25. After fees you're looking at maybe 30% ROI. Sounds fine right? That's roughly $2.50 profit per unit. Now one seller undercuts you by 50 cents. Your profit just dropped 20% on that single product. Two undercuts and you're basically breaking even. Here's the rule I follow: If your buy cost is under $15, you need either high ROI (50%+) or high volume (50+ units a month moving consistently). Ideally both. Low COGS + low ROI + low volume = you're working for free. The math has to make sense BEFORE you buy. Not after. When I'm scanning leads now, anything under $15 buy cost gets held to a way higher standard. It has to really justify the shelf space and the time.
