75 Hard, but Make It for Amazon Sellers

What if seller discipline had a tracker? 75 Hard is built around one idea: show up every day.

Amazon sellers already know why that matters. One missed alert, ignored repricing rule, skipped profit check, or forgotten slow seller can quietly cost you. So here is the seller version: 75 days of small habits that keep your Amazon business focused, clean, and profitable.

Not extreme. Not complicated. Just consistent.

The challenge rules

For 75 days, complete a short set of weekly seller habits.

You can adjust the schedule to fit your business. Full-time sellers may source every weekday. Part-time sellers may choose three sourcing days. The goal is not to do everything. The goal is to build a rhythm you can repeat.

Your challenge habits:
  • Source products
  • Review repricing settings
  • Check Alerts
  • Review feedback requests
  • Reconcile profits
  • Review slow sellers
  • Track one key metric

Habit 1: Source before you feel behind

Most sellers source when inventory starts running low. This challenge flips that. Set your sourcing days in advance and stick to them.

Keep your criteria, searches, and review process consistent so every sourcing session has a clear starting point. Whether you use Tactical Arbitrage, ScoutIQ, or another sourcing workflow inside Seller 365, the goal is the same: make sourcing a routine, not a scramble.

Choose your sourcing rhythm

The challenge works best when your sourcing schedule matches your business model. Choose a realistic rhythm before you start, then treat those sourcing sessions like appointments.
Part-time seller
Complete 3 focused sourcing sessions per week.
Full-time seller
Source 5 days per week to keep your pipeline moving.
Wholesale seller
Contact or follow up with suppliers on set days.
Online arbitrage seller
Review saved searches, leads, and product criteria.
Book seller
Scan, list, or review buy data on scheduled sourcing days.

Habit 2: Review repricing settings

Repricing is easy to ignore until something goes wrong.

During the challenge, do a quick check of your pricing rules. You are not rebuilding your strategy every day. You are making sure your minimums, maximums, and rule assignments still protect your margins.

SmartRepricer can help handle the day-to-day pricing movement, but the habit is making sure your strategy still matches your goals.

Repricing review checklist

You do not need to rebuild your pricing strategy every day. Use this quick review to make sure your rules still protect your margins.
Minimum price
Is your floor still protecting profit?
Maximum price
Are you leaving room to win when competitors stock out?
Buy Box behavior
Are you competing intelligently, or racing down?
Rule assignment
Are the right SKUs attached to the right strategies?

Habit 3: Check alerts daily

Alerts are not exciting. That is why they matter.

A quick daily alert check can help you catch listing changes, feedback issues, inventory problems, or other account events before they become bigger problems.

FeedbackWhiz Alerts can help surface what needs attention. Your job is to review, prioritize, and act.

Daily alert check

Use these three questions to turn alerts into action before small issues become bigger problems.
Did anything change?
Review the alert details.
Does it affect sales, margin, or account health?
Prioritize it.
Can I fix it now?
Resolve it or add it to your task list.

Habit 4: Keep feedback requests moving

Feedback and review workflows are easy to forget when orders are coming in. Use this challenge to make sure your process is active and consistent. You do not need to manually chase every order. You just need a workflow that keeps buyer communication moving.

FeedbackWhiz can help automate buyer-seller messages and review requests, so this habit does not become another manual task.

Feedback request workflow

You do not need to manually chase every order. Use this check to make sure your feedback and review-request process is active, consistent, and not creating extra manual work.
Is the workflow active?
Make sure your feedback or review-request process is turned on.
Are messages current?
Review timing, wording, and any seasonal details.
Are requests consistent?
Check that eligible orders are moving through the process.
Is anything manual?
Look for steps that can be simplified or automated.

Habit 5: Reconcile profits weekly

Sales are not profit. Once a week, review what you actually made after product costs, fees, shipping, prep, refunds, and other expenses.

InventoryLab can help keep listing, shipping, accounting, and cost tracking connected. The habit is using those numbers before you buy more inventory.

Weekly profit check

Sales are not profit. Use this weekly review to see what you actually made after costs, fees, shipping, prep, refunds, and other expenses.
Buy costs
Are product costs entered correctly?
Amazon fees
Are fees in line with expectations?
Refunds and returns
Are they changing the real margin?
Shipping and prep
Are operating costs creeping up?
SKU-level profit
Which products are actually worth repeating?

Habit 6: Review slow sellers

Slow sellers are easy to avoid until they tie up too much cash. Once a week, review inventory that is not moving. Decide whether to adjust pricing, hold, discount, replenish, or exit.

This habit helps you turn old inventory into better future buying decisions.
Situation
Possible action
Price is too high
Revisit repricing strategy Show me how
Demand is slower than expected
Adjust expectations or promotion plan
Margin is still strong
Hold and monitor
Margin is weak
Consider discounting or exiting
Storage cost is rising
Prioritize cleanup
Bad buy
Document the lesson before sourcing again

Habit 7: Track one key metric

Do not track everything.

Pick one metric each week that matches your current goal. It could be leads reviewed, profit after costs, Buy Box performance, slow sellers reviewed, or challenge completion rate. The goal is not more data. The goal is better decisions.

Use the tracker below to follow the challenge. Copy it into a spreadsheet, turn it into a downloadable worksheet, or use it as a weekly checklist inside the blog.

After 75 days, you should know what is working, what is slipping, and what needs to change. You will know whether you are sourcing consistently, checking alerts, protecting margins, reviewing profits, and cleaning up slow sellers. That is the real value of the challenge.

Why this works better with a connected workflow

This challenge is not seven separate tasks. It is one operating rhythm. You source products, list the winners, track costs, monitor pricing, check alerts, request feedback, and review what actually made money.

When those steps are scattered across disconnected tools, habits are easier to miss. Seller 365 helps support the workflow by bringing core seller tools into one stack, so the right habits are easier to repeat.

FAQ

Do I have to source every day for the challenge?

No. Set sourcing days that match your business model. A part-time seller might source three days per week, while a full-time seller may source every weekday.

What happens if I miss a day?

Do not abandon the challenge. Mark the missed habit, write down why it happened, and continue. The goal is to build visibility and consistency, not to create another reason to quit.

Which Seller 365 tools support this challenge?

Seller 365 can support sourcing, listing, prep, shipping, cost tracking, repricing, alerts, feedback, and reviews through tools such as Tactical Arbitrage, ScoutIQ, InventoryLab, SmartRepricer, and FeedbackWhiz.

Is this challenge better for new or experienced Amazon sellers?

Both can use it. New sellers can use it to build operating habits. Experienced sellers can use it to clean up neglected workflows and make their business more consistent.

What is the best weekly metric to track?

Choose the metric that matches your current bottleneck. For many sellers, a strong starting point is profit after costs, number of sourcing leads reviewed, or number of slow sellers reviewed.
