#1095: This simple software locates thousands of Amazon-to-Amazon book flips every day like magic!
There's a new software tool that automatically LOCATES and REPORT 1,000s of profitable book flips EVERY DAY! Without ever TOUCHING a book, you could be flipping highly profitable titles every day! Here's how it works: The software (there's a paid and free version) scans the 100million books on Amazon constantly and waits for "buying opportunities" and reports them to you automatically. A buying opportunity is simply when a book is currently being sold on Amazon by someone for far less than it typically and frequently sells for! You buy low, ship the books to a prep center who then sends them for you to Amazon where they sell for great margins once you know what to look for. Students of this strategy are seeing incredible results- it's a great "newbie" strategy or simple "add on stream" of income for any experienced Amazon seller. Let's talk about it!

#1092: Can a virtual assistant really load 100s of products daily to my Amazon business?
Did you know that we have numerous Amazon selling students in our community who are adding hundreds of products daily to their Amazon catalogues? They use 3Pmercury to comb through those products and decide which ones make the most sense to sell any given day. We are so confident in this process that we are now beginning to train virtual assistants (VA's) who can do this with and for you. I talk about that on today's episode as well as a few other announcements for the weekend.

#1091: What's the minimum software I really need when I start and when I scale on Amazon as a reseller?
It seems like each successful Amazon reeller you meet has a slightly different approach to the collection of software that they are using to find success on Amazon. The question we tackle today is this, "What are the basic tools you'll need in order to most predictably establish and build a beautiful business using the model that we've seen work for literally thousands of our students?" We discuss the basic starting requirements as well as what you'll need as you begin to scale. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to go buy a whole bunch of different software tools as a new seller. More experienced sellers will often have a collection of tools that they are using to help them manage and automate their business. Newer sellers however should avoid the Trap of thinking they must buy all of the tools up front in order to replicate that level of success. Let's talk through what it looks like to start with the basics and then scale over time as more tools are needed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the "crown jewel" of Amazon selling which is 3PMercury!

#1088: It's not about what you sell, it's where you compete
A lot of Amazon sellers focus on finding the next winning product but that's not where the real advantage lives. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack why where you compete matters far more than what you sell. They connect timeless business strategy to today's FBA landscape, showing how sellers can use proven frameworks to make better decisions, protect profit, and build staying power. You'll hear why chasing the Buy Box can quietly drain your margins, how systems outperform tools, and what actually separates the seven-figure sellers from the ones who stall out. This is strategy made simple: practical, encouraging, and refreshingly honest for resellers who want real profit instead of vanity sales. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.
