I got burned by a course before. Why is this different?
Don't take my word for it. That's why the free session is a full one and not a trailer. Watch it, show it to whoever you make money decisions with, and decide after. Watch it free.
Do you teach ungating?
Not the invoice kind. I'm not somebody who's ever really done the invoice ungating thing. My business was built on what was already open to me. For a long stretch now I haven't seen it work for us in Canada, whatever the US videos say. I teach you to find what your account can already sell, check it every time you buy, and let your history build. Being gated on most things early is normal.
Can't I learn this free on YouTube?
Some of it, yes, including on my own channel. What isn't free is all of it, current, Canadian and in order: the fees and taxes, the ten checks on every product, four full live sourcing sessions, and about 40 lessons on what comes after the first sale. When something changes, I change the course. One example: for a long time I told everyone to cap the 30 day Buy Box drop at 20 percent, and some of you learned it from my YouTube. I don't do it anymore. Watch the free session and judge the difference yourself.
Can I do this around a full time job, shifts or a baby?
Yes, if the hours show up every week. Start Here plans on about 10 hours a week, and Your First 6 Months, free on the session page, lays out your first 30 days week by week. Every lesson is written, so you can read it in pieces, and the live sessions are split by product, so you can stop and pick up at the next one. Once your stock is at Amazon, Amazon ships the orders. And the course is yours to keep, so go at your own pace, even if it takes you twice as long.
Money's tight. Should the $497 go into inventory instead?
Maybe. Your first buys are test orders of 5 to 15 units. The buys in the free session cost $15.77, $18.99 and $45 a unit that day, so a test order of 10 ran about $160 to $450. Stock only pays if you can find products your account can sell that still make money at the floor. If you already do that, keep your money for stock. If you don't, that's what the course teaches.
Everything I check is gated. Where do I start?
With your first homework. Take your last 20 products that came back gated and stop looking at them. Run your next session with eligibility as the first check, before you open Keepa, and count how many open products you find. That number is your business right now.
Is this for Amazon.ca or Amazon.com?
Amazon.ca. Canadian fees, GST/HST and QST, Canadian retailers, and how a market a tenth the size behaves. US advice doesn't carry over cleanly, so it isn't recycled here.
I'm in Quebec. Does it cover QST?
Yes. I'm in Quebec too. Phase 1 walks you through registering a business, which in Quebec is the Registraire des entreprises, and registering for GST and QST. Phase 6 covers bookkeeping and tax basics. It's not tax advice, so have an accountant set up your filing. And I speak French, so you can write to me in French. The course itself is in English.
Do I need experience?
No. Phase 1 walks you through opening your seller account and setting up your tools. If you already sell and you're busy, start at Phase 4. If everything you check is gated, Start Here has a route for that.
I sold before and quit over gating and fees. Is this for me?
Yes. An account with some sales behind it has history, and what I've watched matter for gating is how long the account has been open, what you've sold and your account health. That's what I've seen, not a promise. Start with The Backwards Ungating Method and The Canadian Filter Stack, then The Canadian Fee Breakdown, which is pure math, no tools. If your account is still open, this is a good season to come back small. Black Friday brings some of the best buying of the year, and in December FBM goes hardest, because you're live the day you buy while everyone else waits on check in. The Seasonal Calendar lesson is how I run it.
I'm already selling. Is it worth it for me?
About 40 of the 95 lessons are Phases 4, 5 and 6: the weekly reorder check, pricing by inventory age, choosing a repricer, price wars, how I price going into December, cash flow, debt, your numbers at scale, and hiring and training your first VA. Start Here has a route for each problem: gating, Keepa reads, stock that won't sell, and everything running through you. Everything opens day one, and the free session page has the reorder math from Phase 4, so you can see that part before you buy. Read Intisar's message at the top of this page.
How much of it is video?
Almost nine hours, most of it cut from my live coaching calls, next to over 90 written lessons. The students on those calls never appear. You see my screen and hear me.
Can I ask you questions?
Before you buy, yes: email me at [email protected]. Inside, there's a private members' chat with other course students, and it's where I share updates when something changes. This is an information course, not a support plan, so I don't promise answer times. If you want me looking at your products every week, that's my coaching group.
Do I need CanFlip?
The course uses CanFlip, the Chrome extension I built, and it's paid separately. Where it matters, the lessons show the free route too: Seller Central and Amazon's own revenue calculator, one product at a time.
Can I get a refund?
No. All sales are final, because it's digital and everything opens the day you join. That's why the free sample is a full live session and not a trailer. Watch it first.
I'm waiting for your coaching group. Should I start the course now?
The next group starts in February 2027, and the group includes the course, so you'd have it either way. The group adds me: two live calls a week, one on ones, checking up to 10 of your products every week, and every call recorded and yours to keep. If you're sure you're joining in February, you can wait. If you'd rather put those three months to work, start now. Your first month is your seller account, your tax number, the verification wait, Keepa and your first list of sellers, on about 10 hours a week, and none of that needs me on a call. January and February are also slow months on Amazon, so starting now means your first season is for learning, with small test orders, instead of starting cold in the slow stretch.
How is this different from your coaching group?
The course is the system, recorded, at your pace. The coaching group is a small group with two live calls a week, one-on-ones, and me checking your products every week before you buy. It includes the course, and every call is recorded and yours to keep. See the coaching group.
