April 07, 2025 Episode 118: The 3 MOST Profitable Sourcing Methods for Amazon FBA

Want to find real profits selling on Amazon FBA?

In this video, I share the 3 most profitable sourcing methods that have helped me and thousands of others build six- and seven-figure Amazon businesses.

Now, fair warning: these might not be the flashiest or fastest methods out there… but they’ve consistently made me (and my students) the most profit.

If you’re looking to actually build a more stable, long-term Amazon FBA business, this one’s for you.

In this video, I’ll walk you through:

📌 How manual sourcing lays the foundation for success

📌 Why Keepa’s Product Finder is a goldmine if you use it right

📌 And my favorite “slept-on” method: no sales rank sourcing
