Silent Sales Machine Radio #431: Mom has full-time job but sold $450K in spare time in 2021
Today we meet the latest coach to join the JimCockrumCoaching.com team. In 2021 she worked full-time at her "real job", but as a professed "One Mom Show" she also sold $450K on Amazon at 20% net margin without any hired help. She even calls her approach "lazy"! Her ASP (average selling price) is $72 and she makes about $20 per sale on her various products. She never sees or touches her inventory (with small exceptions), she does all her buying herself online, and her goal is $1MM in sales in 2022. Her strategies are simple, liberating and motivational - and it's all based on the Replens model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse! This episode will be of interest to non-US based students because of her hand's free methods - she tells us of three different non-US based friends who are doing the same thing she is. Today's guest: Leigha Modlin

Amazon Buy Lists for sellers: Leigha mentions that she uses "buy list" services to help enhance her research. Please use caution when investing in any "buy lists" - we don't endorse any single lists because to do so would taint the results for those who also already use the "buy list", but you can find many "Amazon seller buy lists" that will be of use by doing research on the topic. A coach can help you navigate this topic effectively as well. Please never blindly treat an Amazon "buy list" as a "shoppers list" assuming all shown ASINs are legitimate. Do your own careful research on any ASIN suggestions.
