May Numbers : - Sales: $7,596.50 - Orders: 157 - Units: 160 - Gross profit: $940.24 - Indirect expenses (prep + software subscriptions): $390.25 - Net profit: $549 - Net margin: 7.24% - Refunds: 11 (6.88% refund rate) - Cash spent on inventory: $3,941.78 Last month I set a simple goal: have my first profitable month in May. Hitting that milestone feels really good, especially because it’s my first month fully on my own after finishing the mentorship cohort with @Anthony Mancini . The anxiety was definitely there, but the work I put in during those three months paid off. The buying decisions I made in April have started to show up this month in May. From a performance standpoint, I actually slowed my spending a bit this month. Life has been life-ing. Between my carpentry job and my commercial cleaning business, I’ve been working 60–70 hours a week, and that has definitely affected how much I can source. Even with that, I still managed to put in around 10–15 hours a week into sourcing. Some days just 1–2 hours, some days 4–5, and some days nothing because I was burnt out to be honest. One thing that’s becoming clear: if I want this to keep growing, I’ll need help. The goal is to get the business consistently profitable enough that it can pay for a VA to source while I’m at my day job or working my cleaning contracts. Realistically, a VA won’t be fully paying for themselves for the first month or two while they train and learn the software and techniques. If I can bring someone on in July or August, that should put me in a strong position heading into Q4. For June, my focus is to ramp up sourcing again and increase my spend, but be much more selective with what I buy. I want to push my net margins to at least 10% after all expenses. The last four months have shown me that this business really is learnable if you’re willing to put in the hours, make mistakes early, and keep refining your process. The first profitable month is a milestone, not the finish line but it’s a big one.

Hello, I’m trying to better understand IP flags on Seller AMP, especially when there are already existing FBA sellers (up to 6) on the listings but no brand product page or clear brand presence yet. Should I completely avoid leads that show IP concerns or is there specific data I should review before deciding?

Hello everyone, does anyone have experience ordering inventory from US websites delivering only to US postal addresses and the most effective way to do it? Any experience with Freight forwarding (Toronto, Ontario) and the general do’s and don'ts to navigate this, especially tax related would be really helpful. Thank you!
