We had 22 votes split between Sunday and Monday… So I decided we’re doing both. I’ll be hosting livestreams on: Sunday, June 14th at 7PM ET Monday, June 15th at 7PM ET These won’t be regular YouTube-style livestreams. I’m going to teach them more like a real cohort session. You’ll get a preview of what it feels like to be inside the program, I’ll be breaking down Amazon techniques I haven’t shown publicly on YouTube, and I’ll also share more about my own journey selling on Amazon. If you’ve been curious about the cohort, this is probably the best way to get a feel for it before joining. Bring your questions. I’ll see you there. Comment "in" so I know who is coming!

A lot of beginners look at a Keepa chart like it can tell them exactly what is going to happen next. It cannot. It gives you the best story based on what already happened. That matters a lot when you are deciding how deep to go on an Amazon Canada OA lead. If the chart says the product sells, the price is stable, and sellers rotate, cool. Maybe a small test buy makes sense. But if you are trying to buy 30 to 45 days of inventory, you have to remember the listing can change while your products are still moving. A new seller can jump in. The price can drop. Your retailer shipment can take a few days. Your Amazon shipment can take a few more. By the time your stock checks in, the exact chart you trusted might not be the same anymore. That does not mean you avoid buying. It means you stop treating the chart like a guarantee. Use Keepa to make the best decision with the data in front of you, then size the buy so one surprise does not wreck you. Simple rule: the less stable the chart is, the smaller the first buy should be. When you are checking a lead right now, what usually makes you hesitate most? Price drops, seller count, low volume, or not knowing how many units to test?

This is one of those beginner traps that feels too boring to matter. You find a product. The price looks good. The Keepa chart looks decent. The listing says 2 pack. Then you look closer and the image only shows one bottle. That is where people get smoked. Because if you buy it thinking one unit from the retailer matches one unit on Amazon, but the Amazon listing is actually a 2 pack, your whole buy decision is wrong before you even start. Not because you are bad at sourcing. Because you trusted the listing too fast. Before buying, check all three: Title. Images. Description. If one says 2 pack and the other two look like a single unit, slow down. Search the reviews. Check other sellers. Look for the UPC if you can. And if you still cannot prove what the customer actually receives, pass or track it until you can. Amazon Canada already has enough weird friction. Do not let a pack size mistake be the thing that kills an otherwise good lead. What catches you more right now, pack size, variations, or matching the exact product?

I've been hard at work with bugfixing CanFLIP. We would love to know if this is helping the community source quicker Bugs are starting to stabilize, i will then move onto phase 2 to implement new features if you haven't used Canflip yet, I would! Price will eventually be 19.99, but if you subscribe now, you will be grandfathered in and keep the price! -> www.canflip.ca

A lot of beginners ask: “What’s the best category to sell in?” Beauty? Grocery? Toys? Clothing? Electronics? Home and kitchen? Honestly, the category matters less than people think. A bad lead in a “good” category is still a bad lead. And a boring product in a category nobody talks about can still be a great buy if the data is there. That is especially true on Amazon Canada. We have different retailers, different competition, different fees, different inventory depth, and different buy box behaviour than the U.S. So don’t just copy what American sellers are doing. Use categories as a starting point. Then let Keepa, profit, seller count, buy box history, and your actual sourcing data make the decision. Curious where everyone is at right now. What category are you spending the most time sourcing lately? And what part is giving you the most trouble?
