1. Source Your Favorite Brands in Bulk with Keepa Product Finder and Excel

@Nick Spisak

If you’re sourcing from multiple brands, Keepa’s Product Finder has a neat trick to make it way easier. You can list your favorite brands in Excel, separated by three hashtags, and then drop that list straight into the brand filter in Keepa. With just a few clicks, you can pull up products from all those brands at once.

Nick Spisak swears by this hack to speed up his sourcing process. Instead of searching for each brand individually, he just applies the filter and sees everything he needs—no more wasting time or endless scrolling. It’s a simple way to streamline bulk sourcing and find profitable products faster.

2. Check Price Drops and Spikes Fast

@Alloutamazon

As a seller, consistency is key when it comes to pricing—yo-yo pricing can be tricky and make it hard to gauge long-term profitability. But if you want to filter out the products with the most drastic price fluctuations, Keepa’s Product Finder can help.

By using the “90 days drop %” filter under the Buy Box section, you can enter a range like “-20 to 20” to find products that have had minimal price changes over the last 90 days. The closer your numbers are centered around 0, the more stable the price trends will be. This filter helps you focus on products with steady pricing, giving you a better idea of long-term profitability without having to deal with unpredictable spikes or drops.

3. Use Negative Keywords to Zero in on Profit

@Chris

Negative keywords can be a game-changer for Amazon sellers. If you’re using Keepa’s Product Finder and want to zero in on the right products, this simple trick can save you time and frustration.

Let’s say you’re looking for replacement parts for Whirlpool appliances, but you don’t want to see items like cooktops or air coolers. Instead of scrolling through irrelevant listings, you can use a negative keyword. Just put a minus sign (-) in front of the term you want to exclude—like “-cooktop” or “-air cooler.” 

This instantly filters out the unwanted items, leaving you with more focused, profitable results. It’s a small change that can significantly improve the efficiency of your sourcing process, helping you find exactly what you’re looking for.

4. Storefront Stalking

@David Prochaska

Here’s a clever story: one seller watched a top competitor from afar, noticing how they consistently found popular, high-margin items. The mystery seemed impossible to solve until they tried using Keepa’s Product Finder to search for that competitor’s favorite ASINs and brands.

By running these searches, the seller could see similar items without ever stepping foot in the competitor’s storefront. The data revealed patterns, like which brands the competitor favored and which items showed high demand. It wasn’t copying—it was learning and applying smart, proven tactics. Keepa provided the visibility, and this seller turned it into a reliable, competitive edge.

5. Watch a 20-Minute Keepa Product Finder Walkthrough

@Anthony Manchini

Sometimes, seeing something in action beats any guide. Anthony created a 20-minute Keepa Product Finder walkthrough to show others how to get the most out of the tool. Right off the bat, a few things clicked.

Watching the search filters live showed exactly how to customize search parameters and make advanced selections, things that would’ve taken hours to figure out alone. One trick—filtering by small details like review count—stood out. Now, with just that walkthrough, this seller knew the fastest ways to get niche results, search smartly, and uncover hidden features Keepa didn’t list front and center.

6. Find Products Without a Sales Rank but High Demand

@Scott

Sales rank usually gives sellers a clear sense of demand. But one seller discovered that some gems fly under the radar, lacking a rank but filled with potential. They began experimenting, skipping the sales rank filter in Keepa Product Finder entirely.

This search pulled up items without a rank but showed steady price history and increasing reviews. Without obvious ranking, most competitors ignored these products, but demand showed promise. This seller managed to turn a handful of these “rankless” products into high-performing listings, proving that some of the best finds live outside the rankings.

7. Use the “Corridor” Method by Chris Grant

@Chris

The Corridor Method sounds like a buzzword, but Chris’ approach really works when you apply it. This method takes a very specific range—let’s say items priced between $15 and $25—and then adds strict demand filters like reviews and rank.

At first, it seemed restrictive. But with Keepa’s Product Finder, the tight criteria revealed a narrow corridor of products with both demand and profitability. The result? Each product in that corridor hit that sweet spot of steady demand without a crowded market. The seller turned it into a routine, hitting that same corridor every week and finding new profitable items every time.

8. Hunt Down Wholesale Leads with Keepa Product Finder

@Chris

Think wholesale feels like a long shot? That’s what one seller thought, too—until they put Keepa’s Product Finder to work. Filtering for consistent buy box owners, they found products where Amazon and a handful of sellers regularly shared the buy box.

This pattern made wholesale sourcing reliable. A few clicks showed categories like personal care and kitchen supplies, where demand stayed steady and products showed high turnover. What started as a test turned into a wholesale stream of profit. Keepa did the heavy lifting, leaving this seller to focus on building long-term vendor relationships.

9. Bookmark Your Queries for Quick Access

@Nick Spisak

Doing the same searches over and over? Not efficient. That’s what one seller thought, too, before stumbling on Keepa’s bookmarking feature. With it, custom search settings could be saved, ready for next time.

Keepa’s bookmarking feature is powered by its underlying API, so when you copy a URL, it’s storing the specific filters used for your search. Using a tool like URL decode and encode, you can see exactly what filters are being applied behind the scenes.

For example, Nick Spisak found this helpful when he was learning how to set up more advanced Keepa queries. By checking out some of his saved bookmarks, he was able to see the exact filters they were using. It’s a great way to better understand how Keepa’s search parameters work and refine your own searches for more targeted sourcing.

10. Amazon-to-Amazon Flips

@Kyle Senes

Amazon-to-Amazon flips sound like a hack, but they deliver great returns. One seller caught onto this when noticing how some items briefly dipped in price before bouncing back.

With Keepa, they set filters for products with recent low buy box prices, then checked how often the prices spiked again. When the dips and spikes created a pattern, they bought during the dips and sold at peak. It’s flipping on Amazon, all while staying within Amazon’s own marketplace. The margins might be smaller, but volume makes it profitable.

11. Ten Different Search Ideas to Spark New Profits

• Low Seller Count Items: Fewer competitors equal better margins.
• Seasonal Products: Type in keywords like “Easter” or “summer” to stay on trend.
• Size and Weight Constraints: Small, light products save on fees.
• High Review Counts: Reviews signal trust, and trust signals sales.
• Niche Categories: Pet supplies or specialty hobbies make great niches.
• Loyalty Brands: Established brands bring repeat customers.
• Lower-Ranked ASINs: Low rank doesn’t mean low potential.
• Price-Sensitive Items: Repriced items can surprise with profit.

Every week, fresh searches uncover new possibilities. Each idea stays ahead of the trend, with Keepa Product Finder’s filters as the silent guide.
