Episode 217 : He Quit Amazon for This Live Selling Platform (Whatnot)
I've been selling on Amazon since 2015, and one platform I keep seeing sellers add on is Whatnot, a live auction platform where you sell to customers in real time. I sat down with Vernon Johns, a member of my Legends community, who went from a 50k to 70K a month Amazon business to going all in on Whatnot with his family. We get into the honest pros and cons of Whatnot vs Amazon: the cash flow cycle (Vernon gets paid in 3 to 4 days instead of Amazon's 60 to 90), no brand restrictions, what live selling actually takes, how he sources without Keepa-style data, and the real work behind fulfillment when you don't have FBA. These are Vernon's results and his experience, not a promise of what you'll do. Vernon shared two Whatnot links: 👉 Buyer link (Whatnot gives you $25 to spend, no purchase required): https://www.whatnot.com/invite/namesyouknow 👉 Seller link (Whatnot matches up to $150 of your first sales, time-limited): https://www.whatnot.com/invite/seller/namesyouknow Those are Vernon's referral and affiliate links, and the $25 and $150 offers come from Whatnot, not from me.

Episode 216 : I Built an Amazon Wholesale Website in 5 Minutes (ChatGPT Sites)
Comment "Wholesale" below for my Wholesale Email templates for brand and distributor outreach. I built a professional website for an Amazon wholesale business in 5 minutes and 21 seconds using ChatGPT, from a single prompt. If you're doing wholesale on Amazon and reaching out to brands with no website, this is the excuse-killer, because brands check you out before they partner with you, and now there's no reason not to have a presence that looks the part. In this video I show the whole thing live: where to find ChatGPT's new sites feature, the exact prompt I used, what it built, and how to connect your own domain and business email so you can start emailing brands from a professional address. FREE wholesale email templates and AI prompts: comment the word "wholesale" below and I'll send you the link. It includes templates for both brand partnerships and straight distributor buying.

Episode 215: Amazon Just Changed the Insurance Rules for EVERY Seller
Amazon just announced a major change to its commercial liability insurance requirements for sellers, and it takes effect November 2nd, 2026. In the past you could wait to get insurance until you hit $10,000 in sales in a month. Under the new rule, if you sell products in certain enhanced-safety categories, you'll need coverage regardless of your sales volume, even on day one, even on $1 of sales. The rep I've used for years and recommend for e-commerce sellers is Ashlin Hadden at https://www.ecom.insure I sold commercial insurance before I ever sold on Amazon, so in this video I break down exactly what changed, which product categories are affected, and your two options as a reseller: get covered, or avoid these categories. *DISCLAIMER* This is informational only, not insurance advice. Talk to a licensed agent about your specific situation.

Episode 213 : I Automated Storefront Stalking on Amazon (Unlimited Sellers)
Try 3P Mercury for 30 days for $1: https://www.askjimmysmith.com/3pm (affiliate) Storefront stalking on Amazon just got automated. In this video I show how I track competitor storefronts inside 3P Mercury, with no limit on how many sellers you can follow, so every time they add a new product it lands in my list ready to source. Then I take those products and run them through my sourcing process, because a tracked ASIN is not a buy until you find a supplier for it. This is the companion to my last video, where I automated pulling 24,000 leads a day. This one is about tracking specific sellers on purpose.

Episode 208 : How Andy Ly Made $40,000 in a Single Month on Amazon Influencer
Jimmy Smith interviews Amazon Influencer Andy Ly, who earned $40,000 in June 2026 largely by focusing on product selection, high-retention video strategies, and Creator Connections rather than posting maximum volume. Andy shares his early struggles ($0 month one, $140 month two), the breakthrough of a high-commission Creator Connections product, and how product investing plus brand deals helped him reach five-figure and then $20,000 months, scaling further by hiring four virtual assistants. He explains when to prioritize quick videos vs higher-production reviews, outlines essential gear and tool “tiers” (Viral Vue, Oink/Agent Oink, Keepa), discusses average watch duration as a key factor for carousel placement, and shows a Keepa “launch sniper” workflow to find newly listed products. Andy also introduces his Lypad Academy training (Hire Up, Scale Up, LyPad Complete) and team-scaling approach.

Episode 207 : The Exact Amazon Restocking Strategy Top Sellers Use (3P Mercury Tutorial)
This is part two of my sit-down with Khang Dang, the creator of 3P Mercury, the software quickly becoming the all-in-one platform for running an Amazon business. In part one we covered sourcing and lead tracking. In this one we get into the part that keeps a reselling business alive, restocking, plus the financial reports and analytics side. Khang walks through how 3P Mercury sorts your restock into buckets by your own ROI target, pulls your latest buy costs before you reorder, and calculates how many units to buy based on your real sales velocity. We get into MERC, the built-in AI assistant that analyzes profitability, demand, and competition for you, and one of my favorite moves in the whole tool, filtering down to the ASINs with zero FBA sellers so you can ignore the buy box and list where you are the only FBA seller. Then we close on the profit and loss, category, and inventory reports that tell you what you actually made after refunds. 👉 Check out 3P Mercury: https://www.askjimmysmith.com/3pm (affiliate) That link gets you a discounted price for 3P Mercury.

I built a fully working Chrome extension for Amazon sellers in under 45 minutes using Claude AI — and I have zero coding experience. Watch me go from idea to finished product completely live, no cuts. The extension is called Replen Scout. It overlays a profit calculator directly onto any Keepa product page, auto-pulls FBA fees (pick & pack, referral fee), calculates your net profit, margin, and ROI, and draws a live break-even line on the Keepa chart — shading everything above it green and below it red. No coding. No developer. Just AI and 45 minutes.

Episode 187 : Amazon Sourcing Has Never Been Easier for New Sellers
Struggling to find profitable Amazon ungated products in 2026? In this video, I break down the exact system I’ve used for over 10 years to find ungated brands and turn one product into hundreds of sourcing opportunities. Most new sellers quit too early when a product isn’t profitable. That is the mistake. Instead of chasing random leads, I’ll show you how to: Find brands you’re already ungated in Use Keepa to unlock 700+ related ASINs Reverse source competitors for hidden suppliers Use tools like Nepetto, ArbaSource, and Quickfinds correctly Build an evergreen sourcing system Scale beyond $5,000 per month This is the same process we teach inside Business Building Legends. It works whether you are just starting or scaling your Amazon FBA business. If you are tired of hearing that Amazon is saturated and want a real sourcing strategy, this is it.
