Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

With nearly 10,000 coaching clients served and thousands of successful businesses launched over 20 years I can confidently say that the odds are you are OVER COMPLICATING Amazon selling.

Discussed on today’s episode:

> Forty recent examples from my own inventory where I’m selling items on Amazon well above average Amazon sales price EVERY DAY

> The overhyped concerns about Amazon suspensions that’s borderline ridiculous (it’s virtually a non-factor based on huge numbers of sellers we’ve taught and coached)

> The massive trends that are in your favor if you sell in-demand products online

> The lowest imaginable risks and highest possible upside potential of starting any legitimate business in history

> The common pitfalls that are so easily avoided and yet are so often encountered by misinformed sellers

…and much more.

Special guest at the conclusion of today’s show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What’s an “inventory audit” and why/how often should I do one as a REPLENS seller? (round 3-2)

Jim discusses how Amazon will list items for sale even before they have them in stock once they trust their sellers. Jim recommends new sellers listen to Podcast #554 which talks about pricing above the buy box Jim and Robin Joy discuss the Kick Start Bootcamp, which is a course for new Proven Amazon Course students to jump start their business! $39 gets you 4 group coaching sessions to get your business up and running!

Jim and the guest talk through the process of selling and the evolution that occurs as new sellers continue on! Jim also reminds listeners to be sure to listen to podcasts!

Jim and Robin discuss how important it is for new sellers to test even lowered priced ASINs because they can always be removed as you grow and learn to read Keepa better! Also, it’s normal for newer sellers to go through a “slump” when they are working hard to grow their business! It’s important to identify what is causing the slump

This segment discusses Replen Dashboard as the recommended program to help sellers keep track of their inventory. Repricers are mentioned and how at the core of the Replen model, it really is quite simple if new sellers follow the My SIlent Team teachings!

A new coaching student inquires about sending products to FBA (sourced via OA) as they come in or wait until they’ve all arrived? Jim also warns sellers NOT to sell against Generic ASINs or ASINs that have the brand misspelled, etc.

Jim says if anything looks “weird” in a listing (the brand for example), then do further research. Also, be careful where you source products and make sure distributors are legitimate. Jim also discusses IP complaints and the mindset to approach those with

Jim discusses some different tools and identifies the ones that are necessary for a new seller and one that can wait to get! Jim also discusses some considerations for selling products on Amazon vs. eBay ( Jim discusses high pricing errors as well as listings that don’t have a buy box

Episode 742: New Amazon REPLENS seller with over 1,100 transactions in 90 days!

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s guest was doing well on eBay, but found it to be a real grind listing and shipping constantly. He decided to learn about Amazon and he got into our provenamazoncourse.com course in August of this year.

As of early Nov 2023 he’d already sold 1,100+ transactions at a fantastic 25% net profit with far less time and effort expended.

On today’s all new show he shares what he’s selling, how he finds it and how he does it all as a ONE MAN SHOW. He’s done it all without loans or credit cards… just flipping great inventory faster than he can buy it!

This guy is going to destroy any excuses you might have about not selling on Amazon using the REPLENS system that we teach in the PAC.

Episode 740: The top 10 mistakes we see especially new Amazon sellers making right now

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Following a PROVEN path to Amazon selling results is important, but of equal importance is AVOIDING the most common pitfalls that many sellers predictably fall into sadly. These mistakes slows their progress and makes the business journey far more difficult than it needs to be.

On this episode I discuss the TOP TEN most common pitfalls we are seeing among sellers lately – and how to easily avoid them on your way to building a beautiful business.

A few of the mistakes we’ve been seeing:

Sourcing from unapproved places

Looking for “Profitable products” instead of test-worthy ASINs

Paying too much to learn a bad strategy

Jumping from one idea to the next without purpose

Attempting to guess your way to the top without help

…and more

If you’d like to get on the RIGHT path and avoid these pitfalls, we suggest the provenamazoncourse.com or coaching from our team!

We are incredible success stories in our community and we’d love to have you on board as our next success story!

Episode 739: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Highlights from this episode include discussing the small and light program, silentjim.com/returns (for sellers who don’t want to handle all their returned items) and selling seasonal items. The guest also discusses how he took an IP complaint and turned it into an opportunity to develop a relationship with the brand!

We covered episode #667 – New PAC student Just a few months in and crushing it – Kevin Alazmo.

Highlight topics:

“So how’d you get started?” The guest shares details regarding his first Yankee candle sales by FBM (Fulfilled by merchant). (Jim cautions sellers to avoid sourcing from close outs or liquidations as it’s a bit of a risky approach).

“From candles, what happened next?” The guest talks about how he is selling primarily topical clearance items but how they have morphed into replens and bundles! Jim also reminds listeners that if they do utilize leads lists, they should be utilized as a research tool and starting point to rabbit trail off of! (rather than just buying the exact products on the list!) Jim’s recommendations are to get off the beaten path, build relationships, take advantage of local resources and get your own list of ASINs! And remember that every good Replen ASIN is going to have a shelf life – which may be a few weeks or months but will eventually die off (temporarily or even permanently).

The guest quotes Inky Johnson, “Learn from the mistakes of others because you can’t make them all yourself!” Jim shares that this is essentially his definition of wisdom!

“One more tip I wanted to share…” The guest gives a golden tip of how to route out your store stops using GPS and adding stops to be able to hit every place you need to go! Jim then discusses how to go about growing your business and that really starts with teaching someone else how to source and find Replens (before hiring someone to help prep).

The guest highly recommends the coaching program, utilizing the My Silent Team Facebook page and the Proven Amazon Course. Jim and the guest also reiterate the incredible opportunity there is for new sellers to build and grow an incredible online business! Amazon is not too saturated with sellers as sometimes is heard!

Jim mentions how incredibly important it is to prioritize a mental and physical break from the daily grind and take a day off per week. He also emphasizes how pace and sustainable habits are more important than the hustle and grind!

Jim answers the question, “At what point do you go from a full time job to full time Amazon?”

Episode 737:Zero ecommerce experience didn't stop him from an amazing three month ramp up into Amazon REPLENS

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s guest has a background in real estate, but his ascent into success using the Amazon REPLENS system has been astonishingly rapid!

Starting with just a few hundred dollars a little over 3 months ago, he now is expecting to finish the year with well over $100K in total sales at great margins! He’s finding loads of winning inventory!

There’s NEVER been a better time to be an entrepreneur than RIGHT NOW in my opinion and a big reason for that is the low risk, low learning curve, high odds of success business model of REPLENS as taught as the foundational business model of the provenamazoncourse.com course.

Filling the underserved shelf space at Amazon is a big biz for so many in our community – this is just one of 100’s of great interviews we’ve had with students who are succeeding and we’d love to show you how it works!

Jim – “when you are sourcing in Keepa for replens…” Podcast episode #369 to learn all about Keepa! Jim also elaborates on why our community loves new sellers!

Robin Joy talks about using Keepa filters to look at drops, price and category to help find ASINs Jim talks about how important intentional relationships are in this business as it can feel lonely and at times hard to get motivated. The Kick Start Boot Camp is a great opportunity for new PAC members to get to know other sellers and learn how to launch your business! Also, gratitude is essential to this process!

Jim explains how there are 2 big problems with drop shipping and why it isn’t recommended! Jim mentions that the categories home & kitchen, arts & crafts, office products, pet supplies (not food), patio & lawn, sporting & outdoor goods are good places for new sellers to start with!

Jim reiterates that we are NOT looking for “winning products” but rather test worthy ASINs Jim talks about whether PPC is needed for the Replens model and also issues a warning to new sellers – do not start with private label!! There is a 95% failure rate!

Jim elaborates on the traditional education system and how it teaches, “Just in case” as opposed to the e-commerce opportunities that teach “Just in time!” Jim also mentions one of the chapters in his free book (text # above) that addresses: How important is it to like what you do?

Jim explains whether products are for sale when they are in FC (Fulfillment Center) transfer. He also recommends everyone listen to Podcast #554 – which talks about Ignoring the buy box

Episode 730: Lessons Learned Coaching Numerous People To Success Recently Selling On Amazon

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

“So, what do I need to learn next in order to succeed with my online or Amazon business?”

Have you ever asked that? We can help.

There are several reasons our E-commerce coaching program has lasted for over two decades while most business coaching companies fail within a year or two.

The biggest reason by far is all of the success stories we’ve generated from our courses (provenamazoncourse.com) and coaching clients – and all those successful students tell others! That’s how our community continues to grow without paid advertising!

The next biggest factor however is this one I’m pretty sure:

We don’t have a “cookie cutter” approach to coaching. All our coaches are top performing students who have carved out some time to help others succeed. That’s quite unique in the industry. Today’s discussion with two of our top coaches illustrates that exact point.

There’s also a great segment near the end of the episode that I think really gives you a nice peek inside the lives of the high quality people we have on our leadership team here. You’ll love the last few minutes of Brian and Robin Joy’s discussion.

Special guest at the conclusion of today’s show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why is Amazon limiting storage for some FBA sellers on the front end of Q4? What can we do about it?

If you have questions about Keepa, this episode is a must listen for you! Just a few of the highlights captured by the team: Jim lays out exactly what “underserved listings” are and how to go about finding them. Highly recommended podcasts include #554, which talks about ignoring the buy box and #369, which talks all about Keepa!

Jim discusses Keepa drops and how those drops indicate if an item is moving (selling). Sales rank itself is an irrelevant number to replens sellers!

Jim thoroughly explains the Proven Branded Bundles module and all the amazing opportunities there are with creating your own bundles!

Jim recommends joining the My Silent Team Facebook page and searching for “gated” or “ungating” for lots of information on this topic! Categories open for new sellers include: Pet supplies (not food), sports equipment, arts and crafts, kitchen, household items, school and office supplies. Once sellers sell about 30-40 items, “the gates start falling open!”

We have created a simple to use software tool that is going to change the way Amazon sellers source great inventory online. It’s called ProfitSeekerPro.com and you are the first to hear about it.

Many of the first 30 or so “insider” students we showed it to were getting results with it DURING THE LIVE DEMO!

On today’s podcast episode I talk to my partner on the project – Joseph Kelsey. He’s a success story from the provenamazoncourse.com course, a coach on our team and the lead project manager for the ProfitSeekerPro tool that is about to change the lives of numerous online arbitrage sellers.

The only prerequisite for putting this incredible new tool to work is to understand the REPLENS system for selling on Amazon as taught in the provenamazoncourse.com. If you’ve been waiting to jump in, NOW is the time to do it!

Episode 723: Stepped away from her IT career to live the flexible Amazon seller lifestyle

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s guest is a former high school teacher and IT professional who stepped away from her career to live a flexible lifestyle on her own terms thanks to the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and her multiple six figure sales.

Initially, she considered launching a private label brand with a different strategy before finding us, but she moved decided against that because of what she calls some “sketchy” elements in the other group, but as she’s grown into the Amazon opportunity, she’s now exploring branded bundles as her way to step into building a brand without needing any new products of her own.

She’s also had significant success with moving items from Canada to the US and vice versa – a cool twist to the typical sourcing strategies that we’ve ever heard on our show!

We are so glad she found our community and she has an exciting story to share!

Episode 720: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.

We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

Highlights collected by the podcast team:

Jim gives a general overview about the My Silent Team community and FB group. He also gives an explanation of the Replen model, which is basically serving the underfilled shelf space at Amazon! Jim also mentions the coaching program

Jim discusses if sellers should have just 1 Amazon seller account vs separate accounts for RA vs Private Label products (PL)

Jim suggests a service called Humnbird for help as well as recommending sellers find a local small business accountant to work with regarding taxes

Jim encourages new sellers listen to Podcast #369 to learn more about Keepa. Also, there is a new module in The PAC called Advanced Keepa Training. Jim also shares his teams approach on how to read Keepa and how to know when to test

A new sellers on the Facebook live shares encouragement with other new sellers! Jim also reiterates that there is a ton of FREE information available on the My Silent Team Facebook page as well as on his podcast – Silent Sales Machine. What we are essentially doing is helping Amazon fill their shelf space by selling against underserved ASINs

Jim talks about how The Advanced Keepa training course by Brian and Robin Joy Olsen (in The PAC) lists 10 different ways to use Keepa to find under served ASINs . Jim mentions his 1st ever website: silentsalesmachine.com – can get a copy of his book

Jim discusses using Prep centers for international sellers. Prepcenternetwork.com is a website that can be used to find a prep center. InternationalAZ.com (this module is also in The PAC) helps new sellers navigate some unique challenges people may face from selling outside the US.

The guest asks Jim his opinion on Print on Demand – provenPOD.com is where a module can be found on this exact topic! This is a slightly more involved strategy so Jim recommends being comfortable with the AZ selling basics before diving into POD.

Jim recommends Jimmy Smith’s private FB group called 0-100K, which has standard operating procedures and lots of posts about schedules and routines. Email support if you want to have access to this group (free for PAC students paying $39/mo)

Episode 719: The basic skills of Amazon and E-commerce that give you multiple opportunities with a bright future

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

There’s a reason why we have more success stories in our community than any other E-commerce community I’ve ever seen. It’s a combination of several things. The 20+ years experience succeeding with E-commcere, eBay & Amazon, the team of 60+ coaches with beautiful businesses, proven strategies that are carefully vetted and tested for months before we dare share them with our community and perhaps most importantly…

We start virtually ALL of our students with the same basic skills that ensure they EARN while they LEARN.

Today I go through some of the exciting strategies we have coming soon that are all built on the foundation of the basics strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.

Bottom line: 2023 will end with amazing new records being set, and 2024 will be the greatest opportunity E-commerce business building warriors have ever seen!

At the end of the episode we are also excited to bring you a success story about how a student (who is now a coach) went from about $4K per month in profits to tens of thousands monthly with a creative funding solution! Sam Koch from AccrueMe at https://silentjim.com/funding

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

The interview portion of today’s episode was recorded BEFORE the terrorist attack in Israel. The episode is with a good friend of mine – Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife Susan who are currently in Israel on a business trip.

One of the lessons he taught me about being a business building warrior is that you never allow things that are out of your control to steal your attention from those responsibilities that are under your control. One of those responsibilities (even during times of uncertainty) is your BUSINESS!

If you want some practical insight into timeless truths – the very timeless truths that have shaped my business and the numerous Lapin fans in our community for over 15 years, then this is an episode that you’ll cherish.

This episode is a bit different from the norm, but our guest today LOVES our ProvenAmazonCourse.com family and is also our keynote speaker at our upcoming May 2024 live event in Orlando FL (TheProvenConference.com event)

We covered episode #618 – This Coaching Student’s journey is a journey of mindset and consistency. You can listen to the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast

Highlights compiled by the podcast team:

Jim and the guest also discuss how important mindset and relationships are in this Amazon journey! Jim also praises the guest for the intentionality in his prayers regarding his business and learning! Jim summarizes the coaching program and how it builds relationships with future leaders in our community, which is the biggest asset of the program!

Jim shares resources that have been helpful for him in his ecommerce business: Evangelprenurer (Josh Tolley) and The Gathering Storm: Decoding the Secrets of Noah (Rabbi Daniel Lapin). The guest also mentions a book he found helpful: The Household and the War for the Cosmos (C.R. Wiley).

The guest talks about his 1st $10,000 month in sales but also shares his struggles in maintaining momentum!

Jim says that without even meeting someone, he can tell them their future by simply asking some questions: Who are your friends? What are your habits / your discipline? How do you treat women? How consistent are you?

Jim talks with the guest about how his business is currently doing and suggests toys as a great category to start selling in again now that the safety certificates are largely taken care of. There is a great module in PAC on how to streamline the prepping and shipping process, which Jimmy Smith and Pablo Aguilar put together.

The guest asks Jim how to know when a seller is ready to access outside funding! Jim says if you’ve tracked your numbers, know your net margins and are confident in your ability to find winning ASINs.

The guest offers a few additional tips: be consistent, track numbers, build relationships and don’t be afraid to ask for help (“cheat code”!)

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:

If you’ve heard some of the 100’s of success story interviews among new Amazon sellers on our podcast, you’ve likely say many times that, “You should be looking for ASINs instead of ‘winning products’ on Amazon”

What does that mean? How do you do it? How can we help you like we’ve helped so many others?

Today’s episode explains the systems we’ve created that will help you find the opportunity hiding right under your nose on Amazon. It’s the REPLENS system – and it’s where we start 95% of all our new Amazon selling students.

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.

We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

Highlights compiled by the podcast team:

Jim opens the Facebook Live session with some general introductory comments before he dives into answering listeners’ questions!

Jim reminds the listeners that we make our money when we buy our inventory! It’s essential to make good buying decisions! REMEMBER: we are looking for test worthy ASINs, not “winning products!”

A listener wants to know if it is possible to start your business with no money to invest!? Jim says YES, definitely! Podcast episode #369 will help sellers learn Keepa in order to make good buying decisions!

A new seller asks Jim about creating new listings and how to go about hopping on existing listings! Jim clarifies some misconceptions about the Amazon forums!

Jim discusses how nothing is “typical” when it comes to starting a business! But he does emphasize that for people who are really willing to work hard, there are many success stories! Proof of concept can come quickly with the replens model!

Coach Robin Joy gives some Q4 tips for sellers and also highly recommends the Kick Start Boot Camp for new PAC members! It’s a great way to get your Amazon business up and running!

Jim reminds new sellers of some very important tips to remember! 1) Do not set up new listings, 2) Do not do the private label method to start, and 3) do not do pay per click (PPC)! Rather, the goal is to look for and identify underserved listings to sell on!

John is saying “congrats on the upcoming 10 year anniversary…” Jim talks about the upcoming 10 year anniversary of the My Silent Team Facebook page and the incredible success the group has seen over the years!

Jim issues a warning to new sellers that Private Label is NOT the place to start! Our community has seen many sellers find us after losing a lot of money starting with PL!

Jim answers the listener’s question in providing guidance where to start as a new seller: In the PAC, there is a “Getting started” section that will lead you to Amazon 101, Keepa, and the RA Replenishable course. Coaching is also an option as well – silentjim.com/coaching

Jim likes to look for 1) underserved listings with fewer sellers (5-7 sellers, 30-40 drops/month) and 2) anything that is dropping more than 40-50 times per month (regardless of how many sellers). Podcast episode #554 is a great listen about pricing your items and ignoring the buy box!

Jim recommends the oasimplified.com course for help with sourcing. Additionally, https://provenbotsourcing.com is a system for scraping websites to help find test worthy ASINs

Jim talks about doing RA via wholesale sourcing! Podcast #369 for more information on Keepa – this is essential! More information is coming regarding a wholesale mastermind group!

Episode 712: Good Mistake Money and Bad Mistake Money As an Amazon seller

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

There are many ways to go wrong when you are starting out your Amazon business building journey.

A few examples:

>Going all in on a private label brand leads to extreme disappointment about 95% of the time

>Buying from sources that aren’t legit (closeouts, liquidations, “done for you models”, warehouses that do the buying for you etc) These can all lead to sudden death for your account

>Going too deep to fast on what you think is great inventory

…the list is long and we’ve seen it all.

There are also some great lessons you can learn along as you grow. Not all “mistake money” needs to be high risk!

That’s the topic of today’s new “Coaches Corner” podcast episode.

A big reason we strongly suggest new students start with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course (only $39/month) is because the training has a proven track record of getting our students real results. There are 100s of great interviews on our podcast with those students if you’d like to hear some of them!

Episode 711: An exclusive interview with an Amazon Exec talking about Amazon seller opportunities

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

It’s a rare occasion when an Amazon executive sits down with an Amazon podcaster to do an interview addressing sellers. To my knowledge, today is quite possibly an industry first! It was truly an honor, to be honest.

Claire O’donnell is the director of Seller Partner Empowerment and “Communities & Trust” at Amazon. She’s has about 700 employees in her organization at Amazon who are all in “seller facing” positions – meaning they are focused on building connections and trust with sellers like you and me – in other words, provenamazoncourse.com students.

Her teams manage things like the Account Health Dashboard, the Seller Support Team, the Seller Forums and the Amazon Accelerate event which was attended recently by 2,500 of your fellow sellers from around the world in Seattle. We were there and had the honor of interviewing Claire for a few minutes during her packed schedule as the primary host of the two day event.

Perhaps the biggest win for us at the event (and for you as well) is that we continue to gain ground in building great relationships with seller-facing personalities at Amazon. These relationships help us stay better in tune with the evolving opportunities that Amazon represents for all of us while also helping us address as aggressively as we can all of the most common seller concerns.

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.

We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

Questions and comments:

Jim gives an overview of the My Silent Team team and community and how we are all here to help one another – it’s the abundance vs scarcity approach! Amazon Replens is the introductory business model that is recommended for new sellers and The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) is the place to really learn how to sell on Amazon

Jim discusses creating multipacks and warns against new sellers doing this. HIs recommendation instead is to do the Amazon 101 course in PAC, the Replenishable model and then the Kick Start Bootcamp. He also speaks to the Proven Brand Building Module within PAC and also the Branded bundles training

Jim explains the Kick Start bootcamp for new sellers who have purchased the PAC. For a 1 time fee of about $40, new sellers will receive several coaching sessions that will help launch your Amazon business!

A listener asks Jim about his Bitcoin talk at the conference, which was not recorded due to A/V issues, however, Jim recommends a book called The Bitcoin Standard (by Saifedean Ammous) and has also recorded a Biblical defense of Bitcoin. Silentjim.com/BB to watch a video

Robin Joy and Jim talk about Replens and the 4th quarter! If sellers have taken a break from selling toys, now is a great time to revisit them now that many of the safety certificates have been submitted

Jim explains what Replens are and how the method works. He also explains what the Proven Amazon Course is and how to best use it

A new seller asks Jim to elaborate on what the following terms mean: RA (retail arbitrage) and Replens (the model). He also asks Jim to discuss FBA vs FBM and which is recommended

Jim discusses the process of getting ungated and mentions categories that are good for new sellers to start with. Also, in the MST Facebook group, the hourglass icon at the top right corner of the page can be used to search for “ungated” or “ungating” for many posts discussing this further

The listener asks Jim how to know how many replens to send in and how to avoid storage fees

Jim discusses how a toy can be a replen and the importance of reading Keepa to determine if it is a good ASIN to sell on. Podcast Episode #369 for additional Keepa training

Jim reassures the listeners that it does not need to be a big deal when Amazon changes their policies because it happens with frequency. Sellers just need to be ready to pivot, roll with the changes and capitalize on the opportunities this provides!! (similar to how the tax laws are always changing!)

A seller outside the US asks Jim if the Kick Start bootcamp is helpful for those who sell from outside the US and use a prep center. Jim talks about how much knowledge a seller needs to have in order to participate in the Kick Start bootcamp

Podcast episode #554 discusses why some of the most exciting listings you will sell against have a lot of sellers! (Podcast title: Ignore the Amazon “buy box” more if you want to sell more Amazon replens). One of the biggest misconceptions new sellers have is that they have to be the lowest price to make sales! This is incorrect and beginners will learn this as they listen to Jim teach!

Jim explains what it means to sell on underserved ASINs and how to identify those with Keepa. Jim prefers to use the phrase “test worthy ASIN!”

Episode 704: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

In this segment, you’ll hear a bunch of great highlights, but a few nuggets are what are the essential tools to get started, an inside look at sourcing and why the “why” is important.

The full version is Episode #613 – Four months into AZ Replens and these lifelong friends are seeing exciting results

Highlight notes:

The guests talk about starting their Amazon selling and discuss The My SIlent Team facebook page, The Proven Amazon course (PAC), Keepa, coaching and how they got up and running! Jim also mentions that he is more interested in hearing about the trajectory of someone’s business and validation of the concept rather than the actual numbers per se

The guests discuss their sourcing methods – OA (online arbitrage) and RA (retail arbitrage), using Tactical Arbitrage (TA), and how important spreadsheets are for their business

Jim discusses Oasimplified.com, which is a module inside the PAC, that teaches how to use TA as a tool to find replens

Jim discusses the guests’ ROI and profit margin as they get off to a great start! “The more you know, the more you grow!” is the guests’ motto. Jim also discusses “the why” behind all the teaching that he and his team do!

Jim asks the guests to talk about the “bad decisions” they’ve made, which in reality, are minimal when doing the replens model! Jim also takes the opportunity to mention some things that friends should consider when going into business together, as these guests have done

The guests mention some tips for newer sellers – 1) stay positive (mindset) 2) have determination 3) know your why and your goals. Jim also mentions the Provenproductpartnering.com course (in the PAC), which teaches how to partner with brands to get them on Amazon

Jim emphasizes that mindset and relationships are critical building blocks for your business! Jim also reminds the listeners that there are only 3 things you need to get started: Amazon selling account, Keepa and the Proven Amazon Course. The Kick Start course, which is available to new PAC members, is a great way to get your business off to a great start!

Episode 700: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.

We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode

Questions and comments:

Jim shares how we are a community working together and not competitors working against each other! The primary reason behind Jim’s teaching is because only 16-18% of all retail economic activity is online so there is a lot of opportunity for everyone! He also reminds the listeners how important relationships are in building your business!

New sellers should watch this video to learn what the replens model is: https://silentjim.com/introvideo. A “replen” is an underserved listing on Amazon

Jim explains how often times another seller will provide the safety certificate that is needed for the listing (only 1 seller has to provide it). So an approach can be to just sit on your inventory for a little while and wait for someone else to provide it (if you aren’t able to locate it yourself)

Jim reminds the listeners that we are looking for underserved ASINs, not winning products! Jim encourages newer sellers to listen to Podcast #554 – Ignore the Amazon “buy box” more if you want to sell more Amazon Replens. Remember the “rule of 3” – if you buy it for $8, then you’ll want to sell it for $24. Also, it’s highly recommended that new sellers join the KickStart Boot Camp (must be a Proven Amazon Course student)

How are results and feedback…” Provenbotsourcing.com is a program that scapes retail websites which helps sellers find potential replens. It’s proving to be a very effective way to source but certainly not the only way

Jim discusses what IP concerns are and explains how to look at the Keepa graph to determine if this might be a concern – look for the “skateboard ramp of death.” Jeff Schick is an attorney that is vetted with Jim’s program and is highly recommended for any legal assistance needed

Jim discusses Amazon to Amazon flips and how to go about doing that properly – do not use prime discount for ordering

Jim explains in more detail what the inch deep, mile wide approach is

The guest mentions Coach Susan Gilbert’s “micro goals to macro visions” and talks about how slow and steady is the way to build your business! Jim also discusses pricing and how it can be challenging for new replen sellers

Jim discusses how to manage tax exemptions as a small business. He also explains using a tax exempt certificate

Jim explains the difference between scanning barcodes (Easter egg hunt model) vs searching for underserved ASINs on Amazon

Nathan mentions “spokes in the marketing world” and how much opportunity there is for selling online! Nate mentions Jim’s candlelight vs cake analogy

Jim answers the guest’s question regarding how to get the most value out of the coaching program! Jim again recommends newer sellers listen to podcast episode #554 – “Ignore the Amazon buy box more if you want to sell more Amazon replens!” The head of the coaching team, Nathan Bailey, also adds to the discussion on the coaching program! Jim summarizes by saying, “Stay encouraged with the team (other sellers), go faster with a coach!”

Jim answers the guest’s question about how to best balance time! Nathan suggests using a business journal to help manage time in order to be successful and mentions the 4 D’s in business – 1) Do It, 2) Delegate it, 3) Drop it, 4) Delay it

Episode 699: Branded Bundles on Amazon are on FIRE!

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

On today’s all new episode we dive into the topic of selling BRANDED BUNDLES on Amazon.

We are super excited to launch ProvenBrandedBundles.com!

We’ve been seeing some exciting success stories and momentum on our team lately with this concept! One of our students discussed today has all 40 of his branded bundle listings on Amazon on FIRE (all of them are doing well!)

There’s a lot to love about doing bundles the right way on Amazon. You have easily sourced inventory on a unique ASIN (listing) that’s impossible for others to sell against because one or more of the items in the bundle is something that ONLY you can source. When set up properly, you can see amazing results.

There are pitfalls to avoid, and you definitely DO NOT want to blindly guess your way through setting these up, but WOW – this is a powerful strategy for those ready to do the work!

Episode 698: Get in the flow on Amazon. Earn by doing it!

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s all new podcast episode will be great for our newer Amazon selling students who don’t quite understand the difference between looking for “profitable products” and “filling underserved shelf space at Amazon”.

Get in the flow…that’s the big lesson today!

Are you over complicating the process of building a business on Amazon? Part of the beauty of being an Amazon seller is that you benefit from all the work that Amazon does in attracting millions of buyers to their site, and countless brands (including millions of brands that YOU can sell) are attracting buyers to YOUR LISTINGS!

In other words, success for especially our newest provenamazoncourse.com students is NOT a matter of “finding profitable products”, it’s a matter getting in the game on fast moving products, underserved listings and test-worthy ASINs that offer a high chance of moving at a profitable price for you.

Enjoy the conversation!

Added segment – Alex from Sellerboard discusses the features and advantages of this tool. Special pricing can be found at: silentjim.com/numbers

Questions and comments:

Jim discusses the frustration that some new sellers experience with being gated in so many categories / brands. New sellers can start selling in: arts & crafts, sporting goods, pets (not pet food), household goods – kitchen / bath, office supplies

Jim offers guidance on how to go about testing replens

Jim reminds new sellers, if you want to learn more about Keepa, go listen to podcast episode #369. Jim also reminds the listeners that “Once a coaching student, always a coaching student!”

Among Replen sellers, there are about 35-40 different tools that sellers can possibly use! Selleramp has a great reputation and is similar to RevSeller. Just remember – the most important data point when making replens decisions is – is this a test worthy ASIN? – which is what Keepa will tell you! Keepa is the most important tool to use! There are affiliate links available for Revseller and Selleramp

Jim offers the following suggestions for building relationships: 1) Relationships differentiate the people who make it vs those who don’t! 2) My Silent Team FB group allows you to enter your location and see other sellers who live nearby! 3) “There is no such thing as a neutral interaction!” 4) Kickstart boot camp helps new sellers get a jump start to their business! 5) Brian and Robyn Joy Olson are hosting The 100 ASIN course in Salt Lake City in mid September. Podcast Episode #658 has more information regarding this!

Episode 695: Let's compare Amazon selling to other popular business models

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

How does the Amazon selling model that we call “REPLENS” compare to the other businesses “opportunities” that are available to all of us?

If you’re like me, you’ve tried and failed at many models.

I now consider any biz opportunity based on these factors:

Learning required

Odds of sustained success

Overall costs and risk

Quality of the community of people working that biz model

etc.

How does Amazon selling stack up?

We love and teach the Amazon models we teach in the provenamazoncourse.com course because those models scores so well for ALL of the above factors!

You’ll benefit greatly from understanding our “Low Low High” litmus test… look for low risk, low learning curve and high odds of success businesses like we do!

That’s the topic we tackle today with the coaching leaders from our team – Brian and Robin Joy Olson.

Special guest at the conclusion of today’s show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What rules and laws are most important as I get into creating bundles?

Episode 694: Starting with $300 and sold his Amazon wholesale business for a beautiful payout Part 1 of 2

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

I hope you realize how incredibly valuable your Amazon selling skills are in the real world! There are some amazing doors of opportunity that open up to you once you understand the basics of selling on Amazon.

Today’s podcast interview with another provenamazoncourse.com success story is proof of just that.

Paul started out where so many of our successful students start – skeptical and willing to only risk a few hundred dollars. Over time though as his story unfolded and he began to succeed as a coaching student, there were new challenges to face on his way to ultimately building a beautiful wholesale business on Amazon and selling his company eventually for a great payout.

He’s also being paid quite well now helping a big brand navigate their Amazon strategy.

He’s transparent in his struggles both with personal issues including alcohol as well as the business ups and downs and he openly shares that his business relationships were a source of strength as he fought his hardest battles.

He’s truly thriving now and the future is bright!

Today’s episode is a story of triumph that will encourage Amazon sellers of all success levels – even those who are brand new.

This episode is part one of a two part story.

Highlights:

Jim asks the guest to compare and contrast the different online methods she has used for selling! He also reminds listeners that there is a FREE Facebook group called: Amazon FBA and Online Sellers : MySilentTeam, which has a feature that allows sellers to find other sellers who live close to them for networking and mastermind formation purposes!

Jim mentions several things that are helpful for new sellers: the Kick Start boot camp, Podcast 369 for lots of Keepa information, https://OAsimplified.com for learning online arbitrage (also part of the PAC) and the new bot strategy

Jim and the guest talk through the different tools she is currently using with her business. Episode Podcast 554 discusses an important pricing strategy that ignores the buy box. Jim also talks about how to know when you are ready for a repricer and reminds the listeners how much opportunity there is with selling on underserved ASINs! The guest asks Jim how to go about scaling her business?

Jim reminds sellers that “slow and steady wins the race” as you search to find profitable ASINs. This will lead to building a business (an asset) that could be sold at some point if needed.

Jim also explains the Proven brand building course, which is part of The Proven Amazon Course. The guest shares some “rapid fire tips” for the listeners – get an accountability partner and also play around with different ways to search for ASINs. Jim reminds new sellers about the Kick Start Boot camp which is a great opportunity for new sellers to work with coaches to get their business up and running!

Jim explains the safety certificates that Amazon requires for toys. The summary is to treat toys like any other Replen and get ready because Q4 is coming!

The guest asks Jim about the best way to gauge inventory and how much to send in – Replen Dashboard is an excellent program that helps with this!

He’s now built an amazing business based on the ideas he’s learned from the friends he’s met in our community while applying the REPLENS model (as taught as the “new seller” training module in the provenamazoncourse.com course)

One recent sales day he sold 300 units total of numerous ASINs. He’s all in on the “inch deep mile wide” concept.

One of the big “secrets” to his success is that he’s willing to go just a little further (work a little harder) than other sellers and he gives several great examples of how this has really paid off for him.

The way we like to look at it is this: how many people am I willing to help so that I can get what I want?”

Episode 681: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

In this segment, you’ll hear a bunch of great highlights, but a few nuggets are mindset shifts, helping a non entrepreneurial spouse support the business and what is a sustainable business model.

For 7/22/23 MST – #603 Moving to Mexico with a beautiful Amazon Replens business

Highlights:

The guest admits she was less than supportive as her husband was starting their online business but how there came a turning point for her in regards to the online selling opportunity!

The guest shares that it was initially difficult for her to go all in with their business but one day she had a mindset shift from employee to entrepreneur. Jim shares a quote that applies to the difficulties she was experiencing: “Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”

In this segment, Jim talks about selling books on Amazon and a new course in PAC that has launched that teaches another way to sell books: provenamazoncourse.com/safebookprofits

Jim asks the guest to compare and contrast the business models – treasure hunting / Easter egg hunting (which they started with) vs. Replens (what they pivoted to). The guest discusses their growth and Jim explains how net margin for $10-30K per month sellers typically runs about 18-20% on the low side and possibly as high as 30% depending on the criteria used for sourcing

The guest discusses how she got a coach and how pleased she was with Coach Jessica! The guest also gives a word of warning about understanding repricing and how it works. Jim quotes Jim Rohn – “You can focus on the loss or you can focus on the lesson”

Guest mentions one of our MST Coaches, Sue Pruett, and how beneficial an extra coaching call was with her. Jim talks about how people who have decided to go the coaching route have invested in themselves and so Jim and his team want to pour into them. “Once a coaching student, always a coaching student!”

The guest shares about the unfortunate high return rate they experienced after Christmas. Jim mentions a service – that is available at mysilenteam.com/returns. Jim also offers a perspective of “the big picture” rather than focusing on one specific day in terms of profit – “the movie of a month matters a lot more than the snapshot of a day!”

The guest shares that despite some continued challenges, she feels the future is bright and she is excited about the possibilities! Jim discusses some future plans the guest has in terms of goals for their business!

The guest shares how she needs to remember to not compare herself to others but rather just focus on herself and making herself and her business better! Jim reminds the listeners that there is a lot of value in other sellers who have gone before us and have the experience, wisdom and knowledge to share! Jim again quotes Jim Rohn: “Become a millionaire not for the million dollars, but for what it will make of you to achieve it”

Episode 674: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Once per week or so I love to go live on Zoom in the Facebook group with whoever can join me and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. Recently, we recorded one of these sessions for you. The questions we discussed this time clarify what is the “replens model”, my background story in doing this over twenty years, how to get around gated categories as a new seller, the difference between a brand and a category and how to better understand profit margins. This episode has great tips and resources for all skill levels of sellers – enjoy!

If you’d like to join us for a live zoom session, the next one is Monday July 24th at 5PM ET (New York time) and you are invited to join us using this zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84823798446

Questions and Answers:

”The guest shares with Jim that she feels overwhelmed and needs some encouragement and some sort of certainty that this Amazon business is going to work for her! Jim’s answer is 100% with certainty and then suggests looking into the 620 podcast episodes and 1700 pinned Facebook posts of selling success. He then explains the big industry statistics – 16% of retail activity is online (Amazon is about ½ of those transactions). The other 84% is offline!! The trajectory of potential selling growth due to online spending is incredible!

In this segment, Jim discusses the upcoming Virtual AI Conference and the ProvenBotSourcing.com course

Jim discusses different ways new sellers start – some with just the free FB page, free podcasts and the PAC (about $39/mo). Some with coaching, which does cost more and is an option but certainly not necessary! Jim also recommends new sellers watch: SilentJim.com/introvideo, which explains what replens are

Jim says how important relationships are in business and how it really is the key to being successful!!

“Can you explain what qualifies as an underserved ASIN?” In this segment, Jim explains, in detail, that the goal is not to find profitable products but rather underserved ASINs. Podcast episode #554 goes along with this and is a really good listen for new sellers

Jim explains the path to follow when getting started with Amazon selling: PAC – Module – Getting Started and Module – Amazon 101, then replenishable training, then advanced Keepa training (multiple creative ways to use Keepa), listen to Podcast #369 – Keepa training to REALLY understand it

Jim discusses the My Silent Team Coaching Program and explains how the sales process is not pressured and the only way success is measured is by success stories

“If you’ve got this, is it a profitable winner mindset…?” Jim further explains the replen model using marshmallows as an example – reminding sellers NOT to look for winning products but rather winning ASINs.

The guest asks Jim about selling on Amazon from a country outside the US and not having a US based credit card. Jim mentions the PAC Module – InternationalAZ.com that is available for international sellers. He also talks about the process for how to do this as well as shipping to a prep center

“What is the minimum ROI we use for sourcing…” Jim discusses ROI – suggests a minimum for new sellers of 40% and a net margin of 25%. Also mentions the tool Rev Seller to help determine these numbers. Jim also suggests branded bundles as a good direction to go once new sellers learn the basics

Jim – “So Sarah is asking if the new bot program will require TA…” Jim talks about the new bot sourcing program and how it will NOT require Tactical Arbitrage (TA)

Jim discusses mastermind groups and how to go about finding others who live in the same area who have similar interests and goals

Episode 671: Why do those who speak English as a second language seem to consistently do better with our Ecommerce training?

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

After watching 1,000s of ecommerce businesses launch in our community and observing who “makes it” long term and who doesn’t, I’ve definitely detected some incredible patterns.

Here’s a hard question:

Why is it that people who have MORE disadvantages and MORE desperation and MORE right to a list of complaints and excuses than you do seem to be performing FAR BETTER than you are in their ecommerce or provenamazoncourse.com business models?

Have you ever noticed that or seen it around you? We see it here everyday.

I’m not the only one observing these patterns either – there seems to be timeless truths emerging in this pattern. There’s even a recent best selling book that identifies these exact patterns as well – it asks the question:

“Why do immigrants (better described as ’emigrants’) who build businesses succeed more frequently than do natural born citizens from that same culture?”

… that’s what I discuss on today’s episode.

Once you know you have a viable business model to follow, the person in the mirror might be the only one holding you back from extreme success.

See if you agree with my take on the best selling book discussed on today’s episode.

Jim talks about outside sourcing that is available for financing an Amazon business. He also compares and contrasts an outside business, such as real estate that the guests currently do, with an Amazon business.

Jim recounts Episode #550 of a chiropractor who invested $200 into starting his Amazon business and kept reinvesting the money back into the business. Within a short amount of time, he had paid off tens of thousands of dollars of student debt. Jim really encourages the guests that once they learn the business themselves. then they can outsource parts of it to others to free up more time for themselves

Jim mentions a couple of trainings within PAC – OAsimplified.com and Provenbrandbuilding.com, which are both helpful resources for sellers who have established themselves on Amazon. Jim also encourages the guests to keep finding new Replens, which are underserved ASINs. He also mentions a new course that teaches 9 different methods for using Keepa – can be found at https://ProvenAmazonCourse.com/keepa – for advanced Keepa training.

Jim talks about having an abundance mindset as opposed to a poverty mindset The guest asks Jim about IP complaints and Jim reassures the guest that these issues are able to be worked through and are not reason to lose sleep!

“But this model, the Replens model….” Jim reminds everyone how important relationships are in business!

“I’m selling 90% of my products OA….” Jim says that the only way to grow your business, whether OA or RA, is to find more ASINs!!! Set aside disciplined time to search for new replens!

There are some common DISTRACTIONS that seem to lure the attention of even the most disciplined students, so today we hope to warn you about them so you can recognize and avoid these common pitfalls!

Going after Liquidations/Overstock or Dropshipping
Looking for that perfectly appealing product that you “feel good about”
Going too deep too fast on one product
The treadmill models (yard sales, discounts, clearance aisles)
Unnecessary frustrations about the Amazon Ungating challenges that new sellers often face
Jumping too soon into pricey software and tools
Focusing on “getting ready to get ready” (i.e. Taxes/ Business Entities etc.)
Enjoying the community and relationships but not working on your business
Life circumstances (your day job, health, kids, commitments etc.)

“Annie, your other question about ugly websites that are giving deals too good to be true…” Jim talks about how to determine if a website is legitimate or “fishy” and now to use caution when sourcing so you can defend a complaint, if received

The guest gives an update on his new business and Jim asks a question that he often asks, “What is the next step for your business?” Jim mentions Dave Ramsey’s book, Entreleadership and how it’s important to hire a “revenue generating help” and not just “convenient help!” Jim also mentions the importance of relationships in business!

The guest asks Jim about deleting listings while waiting to replenish inventory and asks if this affects the IPI score? Jim also reminds new sellers that they can use the search feature at the top of the My Silent Team FB page to search for topics – such as IPI!

Jim discusses “test worthy ASINs” and encourages a new seller in how the process works! Jim really encourages new sellers too to listen to as many podcasts as possible to really learn the Replens model!

The guest asks Jim if it is possible for her to be successful with selling on Amazon as a stay at home mom?! Jim encourages her that this is more than possible!

The guest discusses the challenges of being an international seller on the Amazon.com platform. He also asks Jim about wholesalers and how to utilize them. Jim also puts a plug in here for the new bot sourcing program that is being launched that will be helpful for sourcing!!

Episode 641: The “gray areas” of opportunity when selling on Amazon

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s new podcast episode dives into some of the most common questions we get regarding the “gray areas” of selling on Amazon as a new seller or moderately experienced seller. I have nuanced answers and some strong cautions for you on the most common topics we hear about on our team.

While we pride ourselves in typically bringing you a steady stream of success stories from among our provenamazoncourse.com student base on most episodes, today’s episode is all about helping you avoid some danger areas while also encouraging you to embrace some strategies that you may have been unnecessarily overly cautious about so far.

I share some of our seasoned advice (based on helping 1,000s of sellers) on topics such as the following:

Using BUY LISTS, selling products that look different on the label than they do on Amazon, drop shipping, selling items that others sourced for you, shopping clearance aisles, selling books, selling seasonal items, selling shoes/clothes, bulk discounts and finally stalking the stores of other Amazon sellers for ideas.

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

By learning the REPLENS model of selling on Amazon, you can open up many new doors of opportunity that build on your initial foundation and momentum.

Today’s podcast episode is even more proof of this because it’s a conversation with yet another successful PROVENAMAZONCOURSE.COM student who is also a coaching student.

The overall topic today is a roadmap of how to find more than one way to build income streams based on your initial momentum with our Amazon REPLENS system.

Our guest transparently admits to making numerous expensive mistakes on his way to finding our community and training. Today’s conversation should be encouraging to you if you’re feeling stuck, or if you are making poor decision in regards to Amazon seller strategies.

A couple of his achievements :

Our guest today has also launched several “branded bundles” successfully on Amazon. One of his bundles sold 32 units in a single day recently!

He’s also now managing Amazon’s account for clients who need help building their brand.

We cover many topics today – you’re sure to pick up several great ideas!

Episode 624: Selling physical goods on Amazon can be hands free - here's how

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

In our community of Amazon sellers who are using provenamazoncourse.com strategies, we are seeing more and more successful sellers going entirely HANDS FREE – meaning they don’t source products, they don’t ship products and they don’t touch box tape.

How is this possible when selling physical products? That’s what we discuss on today’s podcast episode!

It’s not about drop shipping (please don’t do that -I explain why), and it’s not some “trick”. It’s a matter of using the proper resources as you scale – and I’d love to map it out for you.

Episode 623: A beautiful partnership leads to an amazing Amazon business

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s guests have built a fantastic Amazon business with a very part-time effort.

They source their profitable inventory in various ways; via online sourcing, local retail and they are also beginning to explore private label products.

They are the latest of dozens of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that I’ve interviewed lately who have succeeded in a big way. They also joined our coaching program about a year ago and attribute most of their success to the great experience they’ve had as coaching students.

Today’s guests have an unusual partnership. He’s a guy with a full-time job and his partner is a nearby friend/family member who is retired – but together their business is booming and they have so many tips to share!

You’ll be inspired by the unique approach they take to finding profitable inventory for their Amazon business. This is one of those episodes that I promise will inform and encourage you with plenty of highly actionable insights.

Special guest at the conclusion of today’s show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Can a seller actually get themselves into trouble with Amazon by reporting other sellers and attempting to build a case against other sellers?

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:

One of the things we love about the Amazon seller model that we teach to virtually all new students to take the provenamazoncourse.com training is this

… you can earn while you learn.

Today on a “coaches corner” episode of the podcast we have some favorite coaches on our team answering some of the common questions we get. A theme today is “Learning to find great Amazon inventory with simple tests”, and “how to know when a products passes the test?”

Of course there’s always more to learn, but for new sellers, you can see results fast and then scale at your own pace using the funds you earn to grow your confidence and fuel your disciplined approach to continued success.

Special guest at the conclusion of today’s show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: If I source IDENTICAL product at a discount from another country, can I sell it in the US on Amazon? What should I look out for when doing this?

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today’s guest is yet another provenamazoncourse.com success story. He’s also a coaching student as well. He’s one of the most self aware guests I think we’ve ever interviewed because he emphasized repeatedly that even before he saw success, he knew the systems worked, but he was forced to confront his own mindset and lack of consistency as the greatest barrier to success. His coach played a huge role as you’ll hear him describe.

Do you find Amazon sourcing confusing?

We’ve all been there. In fact, one of our top provenamazoncourse.com success stories is Brian who used to call himself “the KING of not getting it”. What did he do to finally “get it”?

Would you like to hear that advice that we give to ProvenAmazonCourse students who are struggling to find more of those ‘underserved listings’ we are always talking about on Amazon (aka REPLENS)?

On today’s all new podcast episode, we pull back the curtain! How many ASINs will you look at before you find a winner? How much time does it REALLY take to find these winners? What is a simple “three step check” that helps create a predictable process for finding winners?

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today we meet another provenamazoncourse.com student who is nearly ready to go full-time with his Amazon business! He’s been following the REPLENS system for about six months as of Feb 2023 – that’s the system that you’ve heard us talk about on numerous recent episodes of this podcast with dozens of other recently successful students.

He shares how the system works for him, the results he’s seeing from our coaching program (coaching details at SilentJim.com) and his net profit numbers after factoring in even the one time costs of our one-on-one coaching program and hiring a VA through our ProvenReplensVA.com program.

He’s shopping exclusively online (using OA strategies aka Online Arbitrage) and having a prep center do all the receiving and prepping for him. He and his wife travel frequently any they don’t want to worry about managing any inventory. It’s a truly beautiful business they’ve built in a relatively short time and it’s scaling rapidly!

Our typical podcast episode is an interview with a successful student who has serious momentum or results, but we also hear from many listeners who say they’d like to hear with those who are just starting and struggling a bit. That’s today’s guest Ted.

He’s made several thousand dollars in sales, but it’s not quite clicking for him yet at the level where he’d like to be. He loves our community, he knows he’s benefiting in many ways from the relationships he’s making and he’s learned a lot as he’s worked on his business, but today we spend some time diving into his story to find some areas for improvement.

He’s a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is finding his way – and I thoroughly enjoy these types of interview – I hope you do as well. It’s a very realistic look at what it takes to build a beautiful business.

You’ll hear how they source profitable inventory, what tools they use and we’ll spend a lot of time answering some of the questions they have about being at the $200K sales point and looking to grow.

Jim describes for the audience what a Replen is

Jim talks with a new seller about utilizing various tools for selling on Amazon including Keepa (Episode #369 for full episode), RevSeller, Inventory Lab and BQool (there are various repricers that can be used).

Jim talks about how some of the biggest heroes of our community are single moms.

Jim explains how to read the numbers that both Keepa and Rev Seller provide in relation to each other.

Jim encourages the guest to “get off the beaten path” and also look for replens in regional or specialty stores. Jim also discusses relationships in reselling and how some stores are more reseller friendly than others.

Jim recommends and discusses Podcast #21 with the guest – Is buying low and selling high online immoral?

Jim discusses listings and how there is some “gray area” for new sellers to navigate but explains how to handle those situations.

Jim discusses high pricing errors, why they happen and how to address them.

Jim explains what an IP complaint is and how to handle it.

Jim explains how building a business is a leadership experience and how wonderful it is that the guest is “other” focused as a goal of building her business.

Episode 577: Your first item, your 40th item and your 1,000th item sold on Amazon

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

There are “growth stages” we’ve discovered in the process of running a 72,000 member facebook group for our PROVENAMAZONCOURSE.COM Amazon seller community while also assisting hundreds of successful Amazon REPLENS coaching students.

In other words, we’ve served more than enough students at this point to notice some distinct patterns.

The list of things that “keep you up at night” (which really shouldn’t keep you up at all) changes dramatically over time as you move through the stages.

For example, you’ll go from saying, “I can’t find anything to sell.”

to saying…

“Should I hire that next VA or pay for that automation software?”

Selling your very first REPLEN on Amazon is obviously quite different than selling your 1,000th REPLEN, but what are those predictable stages? What stage are you? What does the next stage look like? How do you “climb that ladder” fast?

We love to see the coaches on our team share some of the common questions and solutions that they are teaching to our coaching students- that’s what today’s episode is all about!

Today’s guest have an MBA and PHD along with a new baby, but they are carving out a couple hours per day to build an amazing business with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS model. They are doing it without doing any of the prepping/shipping themselves (no inventory in their house!)

They are also coaching students as you’ll hear them describe. They’ve quickly found 70-80 profitable products that they can sell over and over again, and they are soon going to expand into wholesale.

I love that they are on track to have as good of a January 2023 as they had in December 2022 because they grasp the basics of the REPLENS model that keeps on producing results year round.

You’ll enjoy this practical and insightful session with a student who is making big things happen fast!

In today’s episode we have all of the highlights of the prior week’s shows including where to find the many resources mentioned! We covered episode #486 and #482.

#486 With less than 70 REPLENS he’s about to have a $120K month on Amazon

Guest hired a Proven Replen VA and discusses the process and the benefit the VA is providing to his business.

Guest discusses how he finds ASINs, parameters he uses and how Keepa is essential to finding underserved ASINs.

Guest discusses how he works full time and does Amazon as a side job at this point. Also discusses his numbers and how small business loans were instrumental in growing his business.

#482 He’s earning net profit $600/hr with his Amazon replens business. Here’s how.

Jim explains what it means to find “underserved ASINs.”

Guest explains what replens are and how Jimmy Smith’s Replens course has propelled his business via retail arbitrage (RA) and then online arbitrage (OA).

Jim and the guest discuss ASD Trade Shows and what this method of sourcing looks like using the distributors. Jim also suggests the guest utilize a VA to help maximize the benefit of this method.

Episode 569: Many successful sellers in our community have this in common

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

After observing thousands of Ecommerce business builders and coaching countless Amazon sellers over the years, I’ve noticed undeniable patterns.

There are a handful of simple lessons that will serve you well if you can learn them by HEARING them instead of being PAINFULLY forced to understand them by the realities of ecommerce that we all must eventually understand if we are to succeed.

These ten rules will help you avoid painful mistakes, help you have the proper mindset and also save (and earn) you more money on your journey.

Episode 568: Built a successful business ONLY by listening to our podcast (no investment needed)

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Today I interview a student who only recently bought the provenamazoncourse.com course and he’s not even really dug into it yet.

But get this –

He’s built an amazing business using the Amazon REPLENS strategies that we teach in our community. He’s done it all simply by listening to our podcast and hanging out in our free facebook group (there’s a link to all podcast episodes and our group at SilentJim.com)

I think it’s a huge testament to the generosity and ABUNDANCE MINDSET of the members of our community that we see great stories like this emerging consistently around here!

He did make some big mistakes that he could have avoided had he come into our community sooner (i.e. he made the big mistake of trying to get into private label as a new seller – a huge error), but he’s on a great path now and he loves this community!

He’s finding profitable inventory, scaling nicely…and he’s set to grow rapidly in 2023 now that he’s armed with “PAC”!

Episode 565: The ten scariest phrases we hear from those trying to build a business online

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Are you saying things that scare me (and probably should scare you as well?)

Here’s what I mean –

As you’ve likely heard me mention, we’ve been coaching ecommerce success strategies around here for coming up on 20 years. With thousands of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students and countless success stories (as you’ve heard on past recent episodes of our podcast), we have some obvious observations that have emerged over time. We see patterns.

There are some bad mindsets, strategies and starting points that seem to come up A LOT around here, and if you manage to avoid these, you’ll be giving yourself a huge advantage as a business building warrior!

Let’s talk about my list of “scary phrases”

The list includes things like,

“I’ve always wanted to sell _____” (fill in the blank)

“Can someone just do it all for me?”

“I can’t seem to find the right product.”

“I don’t think I’m smart enough”

…and several more. Let’s talk about why these are SCARY PHRASES for our leadership team to hear and how we can get you to a much better place fast!

He’s focused in on the “PPP” model (one of the modules inside the Proven Amazon Course). That’s the Proven Product Partnering training that teaches you how to get paid to consult with businesses and brands that need help with their Amazon strategy.

Enjoy this episode that illustrates how robust the opportunity is with Amazon and how blessed we are to have such accomplished, humble leaders in our Amazon seller community!

Episode 560: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

In today’s episode we have all of the highlights of the prior week’s shows including where to find the many resources mentioned! We covered episode #553 and #555.

Podcast #553 Retiring Soon and Building a Business For the Next Season with Amazon Replens

We talk about the software program Replen Dashboard – developed by Jimmy Smith and Karl Jacobi. Inventory management system that helps sellers determine how many products to replenish at a given time.

Fear of spending on inventory. Jim offers a “Hebrew lesson” – the word ‘wisdom’ has an element of knowing your numbers.

Discussion of debt, borrowing, credit, using capital to grow, Dave Ramsey (The Tortoise and The Hare Book) and Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Sellers actually make their money when buying inventory

Discussion of guest’s positive experience with Jim Cockrum Coaching Coach Leigha Modlin.

TheProvenConference.com has most up to date info re: conference. Looking to be a 3 day event, likely in July 2023.

Guest talks about her first Proven Amazon Conference experience (Summer 2022). 3 day event with over 40 sessions – all speakers from our community!

Podcast #555 Ten Ways to Find Great REPLENS to sell on Amazon

Replen definition – a product you can sell over and over again on Amazon that can be easily sourced. Goal is to find underserved listings.

Tactical Arbitrage (TA) is another method we teach and is helpful in finding replens. OASimplified.com is the TA course that will be rolled into PAC down the line. Links can be found at their website to podcasts that Coaches Leigha and Jessica did with Jim describing their businesses.

Wholesale buying as a replen strategy. ProvenWholesaleSourcing.com was developed by Rich Potter and is part of PAC. Uses a tool called Smart Scout.

Good alternative to buy lists is the Proven Replens VA (PRV program). Jim’s team finds, vets, trains, tests and tweaks the skill sets of the VAs for one seller! Not intended for new sellers as sellers need to “learn the ropes” first.

Jim discusses a new “BOT” strategy as an inventory hunting tool. Jim will be rolling this out in 2023.

Episode 559: The most popular Amazon policy questions and points of confusion for sellers

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

Over the past few months we’ve spent a few minutes per week with Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com. He’s the favorite Amazon policy and legal expert in our community and you’ll benefit greatly from his real world experience and insights.

The response has been fantastic as listeners have given us feedback about the “mini-segments” we’ve been releasing at the end of our Wednesday episodes. We decided to compile these mini-segments into one episode for you to enjoy all together in one place.

You’ll hear him sum up topics such as:

How to safely set up new branded bundles on Amazon”

Do I need to have an attorney on retainer for small Amazon legal issues?

What’s get people suspended on Amazon? Is it a concern?

What are the odds of a permanent suspension if I sell on Amazon using the REPLENS strategies or other strategies taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course?

What should a seller do when I get an IP complaint?

As a replens seller, can I sell on listings that feature a “Generic” brand on Amazon? How can I find out if I am on accident?

Why is Amazon limiting storage for some FBA sellers on the front end of Q4? What can we do about it?

What are the red flags I should look for with IP (intellectual property) issue as an Amazon seller?

Episode 558: Who can we NOT HELP when it comes to building an Amazon / Ecommerce business

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Podbean

On today’s episode I analyze who we CAN and CAN’T help with our Ecommerce training.

Having taught 1,000s of students over the years with our ProvenAmazonCourse.com training, we’ve noticed some obvious patterns.

We’ve come to the realization that there are some people typically CAN’T help. If you fall into any of the categories I share on today’s episode, we probably have little business support we can offer you on your Amazon/Ecommerce journey. The list includes things like this:

Are you characterized by being a giver or a taker?

Are you seeking to escape relationships and avoid others entirely?

How many different potential business distractions are you pursuing right now?

Your answers to these questions could make it VERY difficult for you to find business success with the strategies we teach. On the other hand, certain answers to these questions will give you a MASSIVE advantage in Ecommerce (and any other business model as well).

In our opening episode we present Jim’s recent keynote address from a 2016 conference. The ASD conference where he spoke is one of the largest U.S. trade shows which attracts tens of thousands of entrepreneurs from around the world, but they had never had a keynote address. Jim was honored to be invited to be the first! These tips and strategies will introduce you a bit to the way Jim’s mind works. The audio isn’t the best, but we thought you’d enjoy hearing Jim interact with an audience of business owners as our pilot episode.

Description
In this initial episode I address two basic questions.

Question One: Who is this podcast for?

Answer: It’s for anyone wanting to start an online Internet based business or have more success in their online business. We’ll have an emphasis on the three business models that we teach. It’s the same models that we have used to create thousands of success stories in our large community.

Question Two: What is the foundational “secret sauce” that drives my success and the success of all my clients (even those clients who have a DIFFERENT worldview than I do)?

The answer is simple – and I reveal it in this episode.
