#1058: What are the best and worst starting point business models if you're new to Amazon selling or are struggling so far??

There's a reason we start all new Amazon sellers in our community with the same proven, time tested, low risk, low cost, high odds of success model. It works. It's the core new seller model taught in our award winning ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and our coaching.   What is that model? Filling the underserved and unstocked shelf space at Amazon's 100s of warehouses in the US with common, boring and easily sourced inventory is simply a beautiful, expansive and fully automatable biz model - as evidenced by the 100s of success stories on our show!   But many new sellers go down different paths and regret it... What are the common paths that new sellers go down, and what are the risks and challenges of each of them? We talk about wholesale, private label, selling used books, thrifting and clearance aisle sourcing among other models and explain why they all pale in comparison to starting out with selling replenishables sourced easily online of from any authorized retailer.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/C13ahVi8HGY   Show note LINKS: SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

#1055: From growth to scale: Why doubling effort won’t double your business

Hitting $10K–$20K a month feels like you’ve “made it” until you realize the bottom line doesn’t match the top. In this episode of Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating shift from simple growth to true scaling.   They share real coaching stories, personal business lessons, and vivid analogies (yes, even drums and bikes) to explain: Why working harder isn’t the same as building smarter The “book of business” mindset that keeps you from being sunk by a single ASIN How to spot when it’s time to bring in systems, capital, or partners The difference between vanity metrics and numbers that actually pay you   If you’ve ever wondered why your effort feels maxed out but your business isn’t moving the way you want, this conversation will help you see the road to scaling more clearly and give you permission to focus on the right levers instead of burning yourself out.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/rAi2b7SX7jY   Show note LINKS:   SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online (US only) or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

#1053: "I've been in e-commerce since the 90s and it's never been this straightforward to succeed"

On today’s episode we hear from an online seller who has been in e-commerce on and off since the mid 90s!   He tried a lot of things that haven’t really amounted to much… until now!   Perhaps the most powerful thing he shares today is the fact that, “the game has never been as easy as it is right now” from his perspective.   He’s a big fan of the reselling strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training as well as the software that has completely systemized his approach to running a profitable Amazon business.   “I run out of money way before I run out of great inventory to buy.”   It’s amazing that we now have hundreds of episodes like this with successful students in our community!

#1050: The Eiffel Tower effect: Your business doesn’t start beautiful

In this Coaches Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy tackle a truth that every Amazon seller, and every business owner, needs to hear: success doesn’t start out looking like success.   Drawing on stories from their early days (including apartment prep chaos, failed inspections, and a very confused schnauzer named Rudy), they unpack why disorder is not a sign of failure; it’s proof you’re building.   Using analogies from the Eiffel Tower to busy restaurant kitchens, they show you how to navigate setbacks without losing momentum, create systems in real time, and turn clunky repetitions into smooth, repeatable habits.   Whether you’re facing your first IP complaint or just struggling to keep your prep space organized, this episode will remind you: the mess is part of the plan, and consistency will beat perfection every time.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/nP9Qhng-UUU   Show note LINKS:   SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online (US only) or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!
