Resources & Software
Resources I Trust
The Village FBA & Resale Support - An affordable Amazon community located on Facebook led by an A-list team of Amazon sellers. I have been working with Steve, Alexa, and Tracey for years and made hundreds of thousands of dollars with them in the Amazon space. I cannot vouch for them enough and the expertise they provide. They are great if you are looking for a transparent and honest community led by sellers who are active and in tune with current ecommerce happenings.

Winning On Walmart - Tracey AKA @7figuregrammy’s ultimate course to succeeding on Walmart. Tracey has been in the ecommerce game for twenty-five years and has seen it all. She helped me personally navigate the tedious nuances of starting a Seller Center account and is currently delivering the best insight into the up and coming juggernaut that is Walmart Marketplace.

Toyfolio - Often considered the godfather of toy investing, Greg Webb’s famous book and private / exclusive toy investing community can be found here. Greg specializes in providing daily leads, a 24/7 community chat via WhatsApp, and more. Greg and I have a lot of overlap in our toy investing philosophies and he is an overall trustworthy, knowledgeable seller. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I GENUINELY BELIEVE IN HIS PRODUCT]
Hustle Buddies - Where I got my start with Amazon. I was Googling “How to make money from home” and came across Nate and Alysha’s YouTube video on how they sold bras on Amazon. I was lucky I found them first, because they are REAL - a rare characteristic in the Amazon space. If you are BRAND NEW to Amazon, as in don’t even have an account yet or just opened one, I suggest their content before anyone else’s. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I GENUINELY BELIEVE IN THEIR PRODUCT]
The Introvert Entrepreneur - Aerospace engineer turned LEGO investor, Jarek documents his specific investments with transparent insights that are hard to find in the Amazon space. Not only that, but he shares his mastery of textbook arbitrage and details his newly founded supplement company. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I GENUINELY BELIEVE IN HIS PRODUCT]

My Software ‘Stack’ and Recurring Expenses
Amazon Seller Account ($40/mo) - Need this for obvious reasons
InventoryLab ($58/mo) - My preferred shipment creation software. Convenient and intuitive interface. Under new ownership and new features are being added frequently. Also comes with my preferred third party sourcing app, ‘Scoutify 2’ when searching up products on mobile. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I AM AN ACTIVE USER OF THIS PRODUCT]
SellerSnap ($500/mo) - My repricer of choice. There comes a point where your sales will justify this expense, but if you are a newer seller it is not essential to splurge on this software. There are cheaper options such as Aura. SellerSnap also has a more affordable ‘Accelerator’ program that you may qualify for if your sales are below a certain threshold.

Keepa ($20/mo) - Your bread and butter for product research. Non-negotiable and extremely underpriced software. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I AM AN ACTIVE USER OF THIS PRODUCT]
RevSeller ($9/mo) - Handy Chrome extension that helps with product research on the actual Amazon product pages. Quickly calculates your ROI based on your input such as storage time, peak fees, shipping costs, etc. Just to be extra cautious, I always program my RevSeller to include 9 months of storage fees, $1.00 / lb shipping, $0.10 extra, with inbound shipping set to ONE location. It’s excessive, but it will always give you room for error and will display worst case pricing scenarios for you. [NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK, I AM AN ACTIVE USER OF THIS PRODUCT]
Accounting ($220/mo) - An accountant will save you more money than you can imagine. Invest in one ASAP once your business is established.
Storage Unit ($345/mo) - 10x15 storage space, essential for toy investing once you outgrow your spare bedroom.
