Being intentional, proactive and creative in your relational efforts is vital and your business will flourish if you do it right. This training session gives specifics and plenty of examples.

Especially if you are new to the idea of having a successful business online, this episode is for you! Why do we talk about Amazon so much on our podcast? What separates the Amazon business opportunity from every other opportunity in the world in our opinion? Our podcast wasn't created to be all about Amazon selling, but most episodes dive into that very topic - why is that?

Episode 179: HUGE opportunity in the millions of products that aren't on Amazon yet
Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
iTunes · Stitcher · Podbean
Today we meet two guests who are making serious money by simply helping OTHER PEOPLE'S products that aren't yet on Amazon get onto Amazon. This trend is only growing larger as Amazon moves away from buying products directly for their warehouses and relies instead on products owners (and us as third party sellers) to help fill the shelves. If you have even a minimal knowledge of how to sell products on Amazon, this is a mega trend opportunity you can't ignore and it's risk free, with no investment required and no inventory to carry or buy ever. Our newest course at ProvenProductPartnering.com gives you everything you need to jump in!
