Silent Sales Machine Radio

Is it possible that sellers who start selling NOW have an advantage over those of us who started say, 4 years ago?   I think so for several reasons! 1) Amazon has clarified several policies and enforcement is more consistent. 2) The tools and software we have now are incredible (i.e. automating a catalog of 1,000s of ASINs) and 3) the strategies we have available to us now are incredible compared to what we had even just a few years ago (example - finding above buy box ASINs)   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/GUkxebIX30w   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 - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

If you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back.   They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You’ll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and what it looks like to move with inevitability instead of fear.   This is a mindset shift every seller needs to hear. You don’t need more hustle. You need a better story about what success actually takes.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I ignore messages that come to me via Amazon messaging from other sellers?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/psY5g4Xj1Ik   Show note LINKS:    SilentJim.com/kickstart - If you want a shortcut to learning all you need to get started then get the Proven Amazon Course and go through Kickstart.   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 - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

Today we have a three-way conversation between Jimmy Smith, Brian Olson and Jim. They discuss the recent changes in the way Amazon reports sales rank on ASINs and the fairly minimal but still significant change that this will have for some resellers as they use tools like Keepa to make good inventory buying decisions.   They also spend some time talking about how AI might impact the reselling business in the future.   It's a great conversation with a little something for everyone, but it's not the friendliest show for newbies, as some of the topics are fairly acronym-heavy.   Bottom line: the opportunity is only getting better, and the tools/strategies are getting better in the ever-expanding ocean of opportunity that is "Amazon reselling"   This episode also discusses why NOW is the best time to get into the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training because you can LOCK IN your monthly fee before the major price increase happens later this summer and all new students will be paying far more than your low grandfathered rate for this world class and constantly improving training!   Sponsored by SilentJim.com/buyorsell - Our preferred partner for selling your Amazon account or buying a new or seasoned account!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/muY7HL05Ons   Show note LINKS :   TheProvenConference.com - Our Aug 15-16th virtual event.

Sales rank drops have been a core part of reseller training for years. But what happens when the charts go flat and the old signals aren't working as well?   In this episode, Brian Olson sits down with fellow coach Grant Douglas to break down the recent shift to Amazon’s A10 algorithm, what it means for Keepa users, and how to rethink sales velocity without overcomplicating your sourcing process. They unpack an updated 3-Step Check, discuss new tools like the “Sold in Last 30 Days” stat, and highlight real-world strategies that resellers can use to test smarter, even in a changing landscape.   If you’ve felt uncertain about what’s moving and what’s not, or you’ve noticed your Keepa charts getting quieter, this one’s for you.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Is it true that IP complaints are really no big deal?"   Watch today's episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/plKh3PUD2JI   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 - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a missing tool but the belief that progress should feel easier?   In this Coaches’ Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson dive deep into what it actually looks like to build an Amazon business, when you're not just learning the rules but putting in reps under pressure. Drawing from real coaching sessions, they explore three key moments every seller faces:   When overthinking kills momentum and how to shift into motion When “it’s just painful” and why that’s not a red flag When you need to see progress but can’t find it on the sales graph yet   This episode is packed with honest coaching insights, emotional truth, and specific tools for staying in the game long enough to start seeing wins. Whether you’re brand new or rebuilding, this one’s a mirror and a map.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I've sold a brand for a long time, can Amazon re-gate me?
