Kairo | FBA

My journey through Amazon FBA online arbitrage from Day 1 to Now. A live updated thread 🧵

If you’re doing cost analysis on a pizza it’s clearly not the best time in history

There are so many people telling you how you're supposed to feel. Thats why I hate these Huberman 'optimisation' types. ADHD, burnout, lack of sleep, anxiety. These are just bullshit tags for normal emotions everyone goes through daily. There's no such thing as an easy life. Just get on with it. Progress is taking action despite the obstacles.

I resisted hiring VA’s for way too long. My past experience managing people in my engineering job made me not want to give up any control of my biz. But as I attempted to scale so much of my time was wasted taking care of low roi tasks. Last month got an admin VA, plus sourcing VA started this week. Plan is to get the team fully settled in their roles pre Q4 push.

Recently I’ve been putting more effort into building connections with wholesalers to build a stronger supply flow. It’s made me adjust my approach and think more professionally. The goal is to build a stronger base and be less reliant on quick flips.

Amazon tip of the day #11 Make a list of KPI’s to track and review at the start of every week. Stock spend Sales revenue Aged skus Account health Etc If you’ve missed targets analyse why.

You always want to bring your friends along with you. At my old job all of us young guys would talk about side hustles and plans everyday. Mine worked and I quit that job. I’ve gone to peoples houses with my laptop and showed them the ropes. No one made it to the Amazon ID validation call.

Amazon tip of the day #10 After your ungate requests have been declined a few times reply to the case with the following - Order invoice - Order confirmation email - Shipping email - Delivery email - Tracking number showing delivered Label all clearly and double check that all quantities and details are correct.

When I applied for my mortgage I sat with the advisor and he asked “When do you plan on retiring” Me “idk around 55” He gave me a look that said “wrong answer” That’s when it all clicked for me. It’s a trap. I was lying when I said 55. I don’t wanna be a retired guy, gardening and reading books all day. I’d rather be a Warren Buffet or Trump that works until they can’t anymore because they’re doing something fulfilling. You’re supposed to work, slowly pay off your mortgage, retire and die shortly after, then give half of it back via death tax. You’re not supposed to be young and ambitious.

Amazon daily tip #9 Amazon’s priorities their customers. The people that purchase your items are Amazon’s customers. Not yours. That’s why they’re quick to throw out bans. Always prioritise account health and do everything by the book.

I spent a lot of time and lost of money trading memecoins and NFT’s. But what I learned translated to FBA. - Go deep when you have conviction. - Buying off someone else’s conviction can be dangerous. - Don’t get caught holding the bag for too long.

Amazon daily tip #8 If you're an OA seller, spend some time finding and getting in contact with wholesale suppliers. You don’t have to make a full switch away from OA. But getting on the phone and making deals will always be a super valuable skill as a business owner.

I’ve been the guy with a financed Mercedes. Pulling up to my old job with a nicer car than the owner. A guy with 1000% the money I’ve got. Then I switched. I dropped the material bullshit. Now I spend my money on life experiences and building for the future. Don’t get it fucked up, I’ll get my Ferrari eventually. But a life lived is way more valuable.

WiFi money opened up the world to me. Over the last year I’ve experienced what true freedom is. We live in the best time in history.

Left is the correct side

This is the first year I’m not doing RA runs all of Q4 I’ll make a killing with OA this Xmas But it’s not the same The feeling of driving city to city, finding carloads of toys that flip for big margins is unmatched Sitting behind a screen ordering to prep does kill my Xmas spirit

1. List every single task that happens in your business 2. Analyse and think a system to make it more efficient 3. Start with the most basic and use tools like Make and Zapier to automate With each system you create you’ll think of more ways to use AI That’s how you keep up

I’m building and taking action on my 2026 business plan NOW Fuck waiting til jan 1st The best day to start was yesterday Stop waiting for the right time GO GO GO

Gotta think BIGGER! There’s less competition at the top.

You can never be too busy to study. The game is always changing. If your not moving forward your falling behind.

I still believe the vast majority of people are good. Social media just magnifies the 10% of retards.
