Flip Me Up Scotty

@michaelpatron0 #8 might actually be an improvement...sellercentral support has always been terrible.

Recap of Amazon improvements over the last 30 days: 1. Change seller payouts from every 2 weeks to Delivery Date + 7 days affectively holding an extra 40% of funds from sellers. 2. Implement a 3.5% fee increase on FBA fees based on the price of oil even though prices have..

@jamesonhaslam The real issue is that a local service business pays a lot for leads and can't afford to have the AI mess up. Consider a business that charges $200, labor is $100, and the lead is $50 (~ $50 profit - 25% margin). If the AI bungles the lead, now profit margin shrinks to zero.

The reason this doesn’t work is because these businesses aren’t making money and don’t have a pile of cash sitting around to throw at ideas Anybody who has tried selling stuff to SMB knows they are all broke and it’s just brain damage

@TheFreeTwo It was more about what was unsaid than what was said.

What's the biggest lie you were told about selling on Amazon?

@BigBrainBizness my old coworker...

This founder sold 100% of his company on Shark Tank and it might've been the best decision of his life.

@flips4miles def

For those who have done RA/OA and PL simultaneously, have you structured it as two separate LLCs / sellercentral accounts, or just as one?

@SellFlipDad @Chris_Koerner korner office def. one of my favorite pods

One of the best I found this year! Although… my wife hates that I want to start a new business every other day.

@FBA_Chris pretty good at matching although very expensive

@FlipMeUpScotty You find value in SerpAPI? I gave it a brief run and wasn’t too impressed.

End of March. Growing slower than I want but also outsourcing and continuing growth. Roughly 70% outsourced now (prep center + sourcing VA + SerpAPI). Net profit doesn't show full story though as prep center + VA costs aren't included (although minimal).

AI code slop - thanks amazon

@financedystop Upsells. "Would you like Fries with that?". Combo meals. Kids meals.

This burger restaurant shows how much money they made in a month.

@LegacyProfitCo $$$'s!!!

88 orders sent out this morning, gotta love weekends! #FBM #SmallBusiness #MinivanLife

Any one else notice anything weird on amazon's side? Made my first "global sale" today despite having the ex-US marketplaces enabled for years. Also have a new "Global Marketplace" box on mobile. Also, junglescout category rankings aren't showing up, which seems weird.

6 skus, 36 units. ocean in background (if you squint)

getting a real life understanding of the terms "FCF" and "CCC"

man I love leverage

44 units going out today (plus returning some jeans). bonus of having UPS pickups = don't need to go to UPS store to return personal items.

I did a 7 hour brain reset No phone, no laptop, no books, NOTHING, just silence in a room. Here’s why and what happened: 1. no one can do this anymore. Our dopamine is fried and you know it. 2. It is extremely important to have brain clarity in these crazy AI times so I needed a brain reset. 3. I documented it so my friends can see that I’m not bullshiting them. 4. It was HARD. After the first hours your mind starts processing unconscious suppressed feelings. I missed my family, I was angry from stuff from 10 years ago, I unlocked lost memories. 5. It was extremely beneficial, felt like a new man at 2 PM, I started at 7 AM. 6. I did NOT go in the nature because the point is to have 0 sensory stimulation. The point was to be alone with my thoughts, not to enjoy nature. 7. This is the solution to reset many modern mind diseases and anxiety. 8. I challenge Bryan Johnson to do this. 9. I challenge you to do this. Do even 1 hour. It will make your life better. You will remember what it feels to be human again. I promise. Let me know your questions.

Feels like things are finally picking up. Convinced Jan is absolutely the worst month for OA/RA.

How are mass ungate checks working in boxem/3p mercury/etc? Are they just hitting SP API? How do they get around throttle limits?
