This week inside OAC+ (week ending 6/21/26)
Week of June 14-21 Here's What You Missed in OAC+ Chris Grant dropped what he's calling his magnum opus: a free 2-hour, 10-minute Keepa course, plus a 43-page Keepa guide in the description. If you've got someone in your world who's still squinting at Keepa charts, send them here. The Q2 leads group is in the final stretch and is tracking to cross six-figures by the end of the quarter. Q3 will be more of the same and registration is now open. More on that below. 👇 MR crossed $10k in sales,...
This week inside OAC+ (week ending 6/14/26)
Week of June 7-14 Here's What You Missed in OAC+ SC posted a shipment that broke the server. 4201 units. 2795 lbs. 57 boxes. Just another week for her... CB cracked open another discontinued BOLO. He sold 9 units for $178.83. Gross profit was $114.34. He still has another 68 units in stock. 🚚 MV displayed the power of optimized shipments. He got his shipping down to 51 cents per pound. Minimal transfers on optimized boxes mean quicker sales. BR's FBM operation is an absolute unit! He had just...
This week inside OAC+ (week ending 6/7/26)
Week of June 1-7 Here's What You Missed in OAC+ CB finished May with his best month ever. He shared a very patriotic $17.76k screenshot, which represents an 80% month-over-month increase and 121% year-over-year. DR turned a forced Amazon listing change on one of his best sellers into a 176% ROI. He had to recall his inventory and find a new listing. The one he found only had one seller on it and it was priced $10 higher. ♻️ SA walked through the right way to handle a switcharoo. He had a $300...
This week inside OAC+ (week ending 5/31/26)
Week of May 24-31 Here's What You Missed in OAC+ DF built an AI cashflow forecasting tool that connects to his checking account and all 8 credit cards, projects his daily balance six months forward, and recommends which card to use each day for maximum float. He called it the coolest thing he's done with AI so far. 📈 AM hit their best month ever in 4.5 years of selling while away from home working a consulting gig. Good processes work even when you're not watching. SM got his hotel covered...
This week inside OAC+ (week ending 5/24/26)
Week of May 17-24 Here's What You Missed in OAC+ Christopher Grant helped two members get Inventory Verifications resolved. One shot each. Both cleared. J dropped a "quick" $5000 during the Saturday cowork session. Monday's sourcing session found 10 leads over about 90 minutes. HC saved multiple members money on FBM hazmat shipping by laying out the exact process she uses. HM realized she'd been leaving money on the table with Customer Service by Amazon. LB wrapped his last self-prepped FBA...
📈 Ecom Matters 3/24/26 - Flex Seal, Returns, Rush Hour & More
Hey there! Happy spring. Friday was officially the vernal equinox, and with Easter less than two weeks out (April 5), Q2 vibes are everywhere. Spring is a good reset for sellers. Warm weather categories open up (looking at you Patio, Lawn & Garden), post-winter returns fizzle out, and shoppers who cried over holiday credit card statements start buying again. In the meantime, here's another round of non-breaking news, memes, quotes, and updates for you in the most inconsistent weekly...
📈 Ecom Matters 3/13/26 - Booms, Skulls, Shills & More
Hey there! Hope you survived the time change. Losing an hour is something I've never gotten used to. But the sun's hanging around a little longer, the weather's starting to feel like maybe, just maybe, spring is on the way, and Q2 is right around the corner. In the meantime, here's another round of non-breaking news, memes, quotes, and updates for you in the most inconsistent weekly newsletter around. 💬 Quote of the Week Look, I love and appreciate the hustle. But there's a difference between...
📈 Ecom Matters 2/25/26 - Gen Z Fashion, Trillions, Prime Body Wash & More
Hey there! February is wrapping up, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready for it. Between the tariff drama, a bomb cyclone burying the Northeast, and the Winter Olympics reminding us that some people are just unfairly talented, it's been a month. But with Returnuary in the rearview, post-Valentine's Day markdowns, and retailers looking to clear winter inventory, there's reason to be optimistic. In the meantime, here's another round of non-breaking news, memes, quotes, and updates for you...
📈 Ecom Matters 12/18/25 - Picard, GLP-1, Nasdaq & More
Hey there! Will this be the final 2025 issue of this "weekly" newsletter? Even I don't know the answer 😅. I hope this has been a fantastic Q4 for you so far. I also hope you have a little left in the tank for the final stretch (the reason why is below). In the meantime, here's another round of non-breaking news, memes, quotes, and updates for you in the most inconsistent weekly newsletter around. 💬 Quote of the Week There might not be a more appropriate time to drop in an Atomic Habits quote...
📈 Ecom Matters 12/4/25 - Doorbusters, The Noid, Warren Buffet & More
Hey there! It's the final stretch of Q4 and I hope it has been a successful one for you so far. The data seems to indicate that a large percentage of the holiday spending could still be ahead of us. In the meantime, here's another round of non-breaking news, memes, quotes, and updates for you in the most inconsistent "weekly" newsletter around. 💬 Quote of the Week Reading this quote, I can't help but think of the sellers that are crushing merchant-fulfilled orders right now. But it's a...
