If you are an online arbitrage seller in the Amazon marketplace, you’ve probably heard of premium lead list services that help supply you with product leads to buy and resell. In this blog, we are going to break down what these services are, as well as provide you with a free template to use when sourcing your own online arbitrage leads.
What are Premium Online Arbitrage Sourcing Lead Lists?
If you are just getting started, you may end up purchasing leads from a paid lead service to save yourself time. These online arbitrage lists are usually delivered in an organized spreadsheet packed with metrics such as supply and demand, ROI, profit, and other potentials. The lists are also fantastic ways to learn niche product areas on the internet to source products.
Sourcing is arguably the single largest time-suck in the online arbitrage business model, so lead lists are mega-popular because they provide such a high volume of daily leads for a small monthly fee.
These lists usually range from $100-$200 per month and deliver 100-250+ leads per month to each subscriber. Most quality premium lists are often sold out with waiting lists. They are usually capped at a limited number of members (say 50) to give each member of the list an opportunity to make good buys and profits, and to protect the integrity of the leads.
Online Arbitrage List Availability
If you are interested in joining one of our premium lists, you can see if we have any available openings here: www.fbaleadlist.com. If the list is full, you can add your email to join the waitlist for when a spot opens up. Email us directly if you have any questions or want to check how long the wait is: hello@fbaleadlist.com. We’ve been reselling on Amazon since 2013 and have a giant team of manual sourcers who are experts at finding optimal leads for resale. We are totally chill, so don’t be shy if you have any questions.
Internal Lead Lists for Online Arbitrage Sourcing
If you are manually sourcing yourself (which we also highly recommend learning the process), you’ll need somewhere to store your leads for further analysis. If you are at a point where you are hiring virtual assistants to find leads for you, then you’ll need a document where they can also store lead information that they find. This document is usually passed to the buyer (or you) daily for further analysis and purchase. Delegating the task of sourcing created a huge leap forward in the automation of our business models.
Free Template For Saving the Leads Your Team Finds
To save you time, we’ve created a template which is the exact format we use to compile our leads that eventually end up on our premium lead lists. If you are manually sourcing, this template will help you compile your information or train your assistants to do so.
