$800K revenue from 3 minutes of work

Published over 1 year ago • 2 min read

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!

Hey there, I'm allergic to trading my time for money. So when people started offering to pay me for AI consulting I shut them down immediately. And look, I'm all about hustling to make money by any means necessary. But I didn't think anyone would actually pay what I believe my time is worth (which is $1,000 an hour) so I wrote it off entirely. But the requests kept coming. So I stopped saying no and started asking a better question: What would have to be true for me to make $1,000 an hour...

Hey there, Isn't it strange that with marketing, we put our message (content, ads, videos, etc.) out first and course correct based on results? You would think in the age of AI we could at least have an educated guess about what works before spending hundreds, sometimes thousands, on marketing. Or sinking hours into content with no idea how it will land. Back in January I had a 2 hour plane ride to kill and spent the entire flight mulling this problem over in my head. I was headed to an...

Hey there, I'm going to tell you how I accidentally discovered the best way to find AI Assessment clients and establish myself as a local AI expert at the same time. Here's the story. I reached out to a friend of mine who's a realtor because I wanted venue recommendations for a free "AI for Small Business" meetup I was planning to host. She ended up recommending that we host it in her office because she could use it as a value-add for her clients and realtor friends. So she blasted it to her...
