$800K revenue from 3 minutes of work


A (legal) hack that made me over $800k in revenue from 3 minutes of work.

It's real, and I included the blueprint in this email.

And in under 3 minutes, you'll also learn:

• How to do 6 figure group buys

• Reimbursement policy changes

• Carbon6's $210M acquisition

Let's dive in.


How We Did $12M In Group Buys With One Supplier

Group buys are a powerful way for advanced sellers to pool their capital.

And me and my community have done over $12M in group buys over a 7 month period with a single supplier.

This helps us get:

• Better pricing

• Better terms

• Access to exclusive deals

I recorded a podcast episode breaking down the entire group buy process with our Head of Group Procurement, Joe Saville.


Reimbursement Changes

The recent reimbursement policy changes aren't necessarily news.

They made this announcement a while ago.

But one of the key changes goes into effect on March 10th.

On this date you'll start getting reimbursed for your "manufacturing cost".

Sellers are up in arms over this change since Amazon announced "no fee increases in 2025" and this is perceived as an indirect fee increase.

You can read the full policy change announcement here.


$800K In Revenue From 3 Minutes Of Work

I know this sounds like the most clickbaity title of all time but I promise you it's legit.

I set up my Catch All Auto PPC campaign in September of 2020.

I haven't touched it since, aside from adding new SKUs to it which takes 60 seconds per week.

And it has generated me over $800K in revenue over that time period at a ROAS (return on ad spend) of 44.37.

That means for every dollar I spent on ads, I get $44.37 back.

A real life money printer.

Here is the 3 minute step-by-step tutorial you can follow to set this up yourself:

Carbon6 Gets Acquired In $210M Deal

A publicly traded company by the name of SPS Commerce announced they are acquiring Carbon6 for $210M.

Carbon6 is an Amazon SaaS aggregator - meaning they buy up a bunch of Amazon software companies with the goal of selling all the companies as a package.

Carbon6 has tens of thousands of Amazon sellers as customers.

Among their most successful products is Seller Investigators, which is their reimbursement solution that I have been a customer of for over 2 years.

My take: Usually when a company sells to one that's publicly traded the product quality goes downhill in favor of short term profits.

Hopefully the transition is a smooth one and Carbon6 keeps a pulse on the voice of the seller.

That's it for this week.

Remember...

You're one supplier away!

This past weekend I hung out at Offline Mode which is a 2-day workshop hosted by the team at Idea Browser.

Last week I sat down with Denis, a member of our community who did over $100,000 in his first year selling AI services. Denis's landed his first AI Concierge deal after being in the community for a couple weeks I learned so many tips/tricks that I'm planning to apply to our business, and I'm going to share some of those with you in this email. One caveat that I want to get ahead of before we dive in because people love using this as an excuse: Denis has a 30-year IT background. But he said it...
