This Guy Went From Bartending to $200K/Month with Amazon FBA | Online Arbitrage
About this episode
Blake shares his journey from bartending to becoming a seven-figure Amazon seller through online arbitrage.
Apply to work with me one-on-one: https://www.cleartheshelf.com/apply He bartended for 15 years. Then COVID hit, and he never went back. He flipped GPUs, then PS5s, then found Amazon. Now he's doing $200K months with online arbitrage at 15-16% net margins and pulling $36K a year in cashback on top of the profit. Blake (@Blake_FBA) is a seven-figure Amazon OA seller who's survived brand reviews, lost entire categories, and still keeps running it up. Today we get into how he actually sources, why repricing separates good sellers from great sellers, the cashback that pays for his life, and why he says fees only hurt you when your sourcing is weak.
