The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa

Using Amazon Sales History to Make 
Smart Sourcing Decisions

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to buy inventory that almost always sells quickly?  Do you ever get frustrated because it seems like by the time your inventory arrives at Amazon, your competition has “tanked” the price and you’re not able to sell your inventory at the prices you wanted? If it seems like your Amazon sourcing is more of a gamble than a sure thing, then this course is for you.

The Problem

Slow sales… or worse: no sales!

Competitors always “tanking” prices.


Items you thought would sell quickly but just sat in a FBA warehouse for months.


Not finding enough inventory that sells fast.


Everything looked awesome when you first sourced these items, but now the prices dropped and the profits are gone.

You feel like you wasted money buying bad inventory.

You just wish items sold faster and for the price which you expect them to sell.

The Discovery

I discovered three truths to be the root cause of the above problems.

Truth #1 – The sales rank of items on Amazon are constantly changing (about 24 times a day).  

Truth #2 – The prices on Amazon are constantly changing (over 2.5 million times a day).  

Truth #3 – There is a tool called Keepa that displays the price history, sales rank history, and more. Now it's possible to look into the past to better predict future sales and prices - but only if you know how to read the data (don't worry, I can help with that). 

The Solution

I finally figured out what was going wrong! When I was sourcing for inventory, I was making all of my sourcing decisions based on that day’s sales ranks and that day’s pricing. Why I would ever expect those items to keep the same high prices and low sales ranks by the time I bought them, prepped them, and sent them off to Amazon is beyond me.
 
Then, I discovered Keepa.

Keepa is a tool that tracks, stores, and displays the data from the pricing and sales rank history for almost every item being

sold on Amazon. Now when I’m sourcing for inventory via retail arbitrage, online arbitrage, and even wholesale, I take a few extra seconds and check the Keepa data and make a much smarter sourcing decision. By using Keepa, I almost never buy an item where the price “tanks,” and if I do, I know that the price will recover fairly quickly.

The Results

After using the price and sales rank history data from Keepa to make better sourcing decisions, I’ve been able to: 

  • Experience eight straight years of at least 6-figures in Amazon sales.
  • Hit the 6-figures in sales mark earlier and earlier each year.
  • Every year I make even more than the previous year. 
  • I finally know how deep to go on an inventory buy.
  • I'm able to decipher which variations of items are actually selling the most (and which variations are not selling at all).
  • My average inventory levels decrease each year because I’m selling my items faster than ever before. 

How is this possible? I finally took the Keepa data more seriously and was able to make much smarter sourcing decisions. I also began to discover that sales rank and pricing history was only the tip of the iceberg of the data from Keepa to help you make better overall decisions in your Amazon FBA business. Discovering everything Keepa has to offer totally transformed my Amazon FBA business and was a key factor in how I’ve been able to turn part-time hours into a full-time income with Amazon.

How Much is Smart Sourcing Worth to You?

The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa is a one time charge of only $347. With 34 laser-focused training videos, as well as 5 game-changing bonuses, this guide is a bargain when you think about the time and money you will save by making smarter and more profitable sourcing decisions

Imagine not having to remove inventory that never sells… Image not having to reprice a huge chunk of your inventory every month… Imagine finding inventory that actually sells at the price you list it for… Imagine the increased profits with items selling faster than ever before.

This course is filled with everything I know about how to make the most out of the Keepa data. Plus, when you get the course, you’ll be automatically enrolled into the lifetime ownership program. This means that every time we update the course, you’ll get the updates for free. Not only that, but I offer a 60-day 100% refund policy… so you have nothing to lose. 

Bonus Material – Not only do you get the The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa video course, but you also get these 5 valuable bonuses at no extra charge.  

VIDEO – Using Keepa to Create a Fast Turn SnowballI’ll teach you how you can use Keepa to create a snowball effect with your Amazon FBA profits. You might only have a small amount of capital right now, but if you use Keepa the right way, then you can experience sales and profits that grow month after month and year after year. This video alone might give you what you need to finally break through to the next level.

Sales Rank ChartHaving access to the most up-to-date sales rank chart is vital for knowing whether a sales rank number is considered good or bad. Sales rank numbers are not all the same. A 500,000 sales rank in Books is pretty good, while a 500,000 sales rank in Toys is horrible. This chart breaks down each major Amazon product category and shows you not only how many items are currently in each category, but the breakdown of what numbers fall into the top 1%, 5%, and 10%. This is a vital tool for making smart sourcing decisions.

My Sales Rank Comfort Zones In the course, I teach you that each product category on Amazon has its own “personality” and that I don’t treat them all the same way when it comes to sourcing. When I source for inventory, I usually will not buy an item where the average sales rank is higher than my current comfort zone level. With this printable bonus, I’ll share with you the sales rank zones where I am most comfortable when it comes to making the best sourcing decision on items I feel will sell quickly enough for me.

VIDEO – No Keepa Data? No Problem –  Sometimes Keepa goes down for website maintenance… Or sometimes there is a rare glitch where Keepa is not working correctly. How do you react when Keepa goes down while you’re out sourcing? In this bonus video, I’ll show you what I do and my exact thought process to continue making smart sourcing decisions for my Amazon FBA business when Keepa is down. 

VIDEO - Keepa Updates - Keepa is an awesome program that's always looking to find new ways to make the tool even better. Sometimes the Keepa updates are small changes, but at other times the changes are big. In this bonus, I'll break down Keepa biggest and latest updates. Each time Keepa updates their program in a big way, I'll add more updated training for you for FREE. That's all part of the lifetime ownership program that comes with your enrollment in this course. 

Reviews & Testimonials

If The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa had been available when I first started selling on Amazon, it would have saved me countless hours, dollars, and a whole bunch of self-doubt! Stephen’s comprehensive guide provides detailed lessons in easily-digestible chunks and is full of real-life examples. The information covered in the video training offers a solid tutorial on how to use Keepa to improve the quality of your buying decisions. The course reinforced some things that I had already learned, taught me a few things I didn’t know, and gave me a definite confidence boost in using these tools to make better buying decisions!

Staci Michalicek

It took a little over a year, but thanks to The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa, we finally passed the 100k in sales mark! Thanks to this course, we have steadily stayed well over the 30% profit margin level all year long. Investing in this course was the best money we ever spent. We literally could not do FBA without what we learned in the course. With The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa, Amazon is much easier and much more profitable

Michael Jeffers

I really liked the video course The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa. It’s a very detailed review, how-to, how to use, how to deal with all types of issues course. It’s an all around good guide on how to use Keepa properly, and addresses the usual and unusual situations that every reseller runs into, what they mean, and how to use the data to make better and smarter buying decisions

Bob Willey

The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa is an awesome course on a very important tool. Back when I started eCommerce, I barely understood sales rank, and sites like Keepa did not exist. I learned by making mistakes which was pretty costly. This course will give you a great jumpstart in using this tool and being able to analyze the supply/demand/price scenario on a given product. Effectively using Keepa should shorten your learning curve and help you use your cash more effectively and help you avoid costly mistakes. This course is a major asset to Amazon sellers.

Brian Vienneau

If looking at a Keepa chart makes your eyes cross, then this course is the resource you’ve been looking for! Stephen breaks each part of Keepa down to help you better analyze each and every product you buy. The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa course is not to be missed for Amazon sellers looking to move their businesses forward by making smarter sourcing decisions

Amy Feierman

The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa is a fantastic resource for the experienced and novice sellers alike! I have been underutilizing Keepa for years, but thanks to Stephen’s course our sourcing team will have a much more focused approach. This book is a very “Nuts and Bolts” look at the indispensable program that is Keepa. Never heard of and Keepa before? Buy this course. The mindset behind finding the Average Sales Rank was worth the price of the book alone!

Bryan Young

Stephen has done it again! This is without a doubt the most comprehensive and detailed look at the Keepa program & extension that I have ever seen! Not only does it show you how to effectively use this resource, but includes multiple examples on how to implement better buying strategies by using the data. I highly recommend this video training to anyone that is unfamiliar with how to use these tools or anyone that could use real world examples to help with their inventory sourcing

Jay Bayne

The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa is THE TEXTBOOK on Keepa! Every single detail is examined and explained with examples, photos, and video. From sales rank to price alerts, this covers it ALL.

Thanks Stephen for an awesome course!

I’m Stephen Smotherman, and I’ve been selling online since 1998 and on Amazon since 2011. I currently make a full-time income (working only part-time hours) selling via Fulfillment by Amazon. With my FBA income, I’m able to support my wife and boys and only work when I want to work. I truly love helping other
FBA sellers, so I decided to share my most popular teachings with you to help you better grow your Amazon FBA business. 

In this course, you’ll get the exact step-by-step strategies that my coaching students would pay $500 an hour for me to teach them. But you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to learn the right way to find and buy the right inventory items to sell on Amazon. Instead, you can get it all in this 5+ hour game-changing course for only one payment of $347.

Q –  I’m a brand new seller on Amazon. Will the content in this course be over my head? 

A –  Not at all. In The Reseller’s Guide to Keepa, I explain exactly what to do with step-by-step, easy-to-understand video walkthroughs for all that Keepa has to offer. You’ll also get some advanced tips to help you move beyond a beginner in your Amazon FBA business. Now, if you're so brand new that you don't even understand the basics of selling on Amazon, then you first need to enroll in our JumpStart Amazon course to get a solid foundation of how to sell on Amazon. After that course you'll be ready for The Reseller's Guide to Keepa. 

Q –   I’m not in the US, is The Reseller’s Guide to a Keepa going to work for me in _________? (Canada, the UK, etc.)

A – While most of the examples in this course deal with using Keepa to make more money via selling on Amazon.com in the US, Keepa also tracks and graphs data from around the world. Currently, Keepa also tracks the data from Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, and India… with more countries planned to join them. With Keepa, you can also set your language and currency preferences. 

Q – Do I need to buy anything else to make the most of this course? 

A – Yes and no. The actual Keepa program has both a free and a paid plan. The free plan gives you about 40% of the data that we break down in this course while the paid data subscription delivers the other 60%. But to be honest with you, the data in the paid subscription is the most important and vital data you’re going to need to make the best decisions for your Amazon business.  The paid Keepa subscription is super affordable in when you think about to how well the Keepa data helps you make more profits on Amazon. For more details about the Keepa paid subscription plan, you can click here

Q – If the Keepa course is ever updated, will I have to buy the course again? 

A – No way! This video course comes with lifetime ownership. That means if we ever update the course, add a new bonus, upload new walkthrough videos, or any type of update, you’ll get all the updates at no charge – for life! In fact this edition of the course is version 2.3, and everyone who purchased the previous versions automatically gets the current version for free. 

Q – I’ve been selling on Amazon for a long time and feel like I already understand most of what Keepa has to offer. Will the content in this course benefit me? 

A – Congrats on your understanding of Keepa and your success with Amazon! With over 30 videos (around 5 hours of video training)… there are bound to be some major aspects of the course that will be brand new to you. You’ll also probably be reminded of some things you should be doing, but have not started yet. In the end, if you find that the course is not worth the cost, feel free to ask for a full or partial refund, and I’ll give it to you no questions asked.

Wow! I loved this course. Keepa had always confused me, but not anymore. Now, I really look forward to using these strategies to improve my bottom line. I will never source the same way again. After watching the video on counting sales, I now look at potential inventory in a whole new way. After watching these videos, I am reinvigorated about my FBA sourcing. The Fast Turn Snowball is exciting, and makes a lot of sense. The Keepa screenshots in the videos are super helpful and go a long way towards helping make sense of all the strategies and ideas that Stephen talks about in the course. The course has solved a big mystery for me about sourcing. I have bought items with great sales ranks in the past, only to have them sit in the warehouse. This course explains why and will help me to avoid this problem in the future

He not only provides examples of how to read the Keepa graphs, but then challenges the viewer to test and check themselves. Stephen also uses real life examples of sourcing decisions in which Amazon sellers can easily relate.
