Sourcing is about speed
Look at the most amount of items with the highest probability of success in the shortest amount of time
Here is a short thread of the tools I use to source as quickly as possible 👇

Here is a short thread of the tools I use to source as quickly as possible 👇
First, I use a concept I call Deal Farming
I don't want to start sourcing until I know where the best deals are
I prefer to focus on websites with sitewide coupons, stackable coupons, and good cash back (in that order)

Next, I want to minimize the number of clicks I made
Copy / paste doesnt take long, but when you are sourcing for hours, the seconds add up to minutes and hours
This time is precious

I use an extension calls Context Menu Search
This allows me to search a title in Amazon with only two clicks

Next, clicking into a bunch of Amazon listings is a huge time waste
I want to see all the stats without even clicking in - as you can tell if it is high probability just from basic information like
Is Amazon selling?
What is the rank?
How many sellers?
Am I allowed to sell?

The tool picture is ASIN Gadget, but many calculator extensions (like ASINZen) have a free feature that enables you to see this information on the search page.
The Keepa chart plays a huge role as well. But you usually have to click the listing to see the chart (is there a tank in progress?)
Under Keepa setting, enable the chart to display when hovering over the item. Now you can see basic info without clicking in.

When I find a profitable item, now I have to enter the information into my sourcing sheet.
I use ASINZen Quick Copy feature - which I have setup to copy in the exact order that I have them arranged on my sourcing sheet.
All I have to do is input the cost and source manually.

I have arranged my sourcing sheet in the same order as my purchasing sheet, allowing me to copy and paste entire lines instead of individual cells.
This saves a massive amount of time.
The sheets were arranged according to my prep center sheet also -everything in the same order

Finally, when checking out I use Paypal one-click check out as often as I can.
My payment details and addresses are preloaded in Paypal and require no entry into the retail website.
If I need to ship items to home or use a different payment, its a drop down or button click.

If you really want to geek out on efficiency, get a mouse with additional customizable buttons.
These buttons are used for copy and paste, allowing me to reduce my number of actions even further.
It may seem trivial, but this adds up to hours per month.

Most people go about their work without ever looking at it from a higher level.
While you are doing the work, you "feel" fast, and you "feel" efficient, but unless you have consciously designed your process, you are likely wasting time.
I hope this helps.
