FBAPulse is a project by Coran & Leanne Woodmass.
Firstly, thanks for checking out the site and we hope you’ve subscribed to the FBA Newsletter as well as the FBA Business Sales Report.
For those who don’t know me I’m Leanne, a FBA seller, Amazon consultant and data nut. I’ve been a seller for over a year now (since May 2015) managing our own brand and unique product. I’ve also worked as a consultant with the AMZ Tracker team for 9 months where I was exposed to many aspects of an FBA business.
My goal with this site & the newsletter is to take the best weekly content out there about Amazon FBA and share it with you, saving you hours of your precious time, rather than trolling through hundreds of tweets, or thousands of FB posts.
Coran is all about the FBA business sales and spends most of his time trawling the net scouring for Amazon businesses for sale. He curates his findings in an awesome monthly report. Additionally if you’re looking to sell your Amazon business you can discuss your options with him over at TheFBABroker.com.
With FBA Pulse you’ll get the best stuff of what I curate during the week with a brief summary of the content (article, podcast or post), and then my thoughts on why it matters. And of course if you see something worth sharing please send it to me so I can get the word out as well.
Looking for something in particular related to Amazon FBA? If you haven’t already let me know, email me at leanne (at) fbapulse (dot) com. I’ll aim to cover each topic as I find worth content.

In this week’s FBA Newsletter: Get 100% Seller Feedback, Promo changes AGAIN, Brand Gating & Over $95M in FBA businesses sold to date!
Hi guys, last week it seemed there was nothing of interest to report. Now it seems Amazon makes one positive change (Brand Gating) with a side of “what the heck did they do that for” ($ off promo codes being taken away). We’ll have to wait and see how this all turns out in a few weeks with promotion changes happening again. Someone will find a workaround or a new strategy I’m sure. Then they’ll make us buy a bunch of “credits” to use their confusing software. Rant over…maybe.

FBA Newsletter: 5th November Edition
In this week’s FBA Newsletter: Promo’s for Rank Boosting, Building Off AMZ & 5 Cent Ad Clicks.
Hi guys, this week I’ve been catching up on some podcasts so you’ll see a few of them in this week’s newsletter. Webinars are really taking off too, but boy don’t waste your time watching them live. If you want to watch them, get the replay link and watch it a 1.7-2x speed. Your time is valuable and I know most of us do this with podcast but not videos. So check out this Chrome plugin to speed up any video in your browser.
I’m seeing a trending theme across all blogs, FB groups and webinars: building external traffic off Amazon. There’s a lot of way to do it so I’m sure you’ll be seeing this topic again in future newsletters as I weed out the gold from the dribble.

In this week’s FBA Newsletter: Oct Slump, TOS Change, Global Sources Summit, Bully Sellers & Subscribe & Save now Open!
Hi guys, we’re back after a busy October (DCBKK, Global Sources Summit and a wedding). We’re ready to get you back up to date with the changes and oh boy have there been some changes!
But before we talk about that, let’s talk about October sales. Historically October is a slow month for sales leading up to Christmas spending, however some sellers feel like it’s worse than before and are speculating that the recent TOS update, US elections and weather events might also be contributing factors.
My advice, don’t freak out too much. It’s a common slump. Spring clean your FBA business; re-check our listing for optimization opportunities, assess your Amazon PPC and fix your follow-up email sequence. That’s what I’m doing to boost my slow sales month.
