#870: The best Walmart seller training in the world is now LIVE - let's talk about it
On today’s new podcast episode, we discussed the Walmart selling opportunity. If you can sell on Amazon or eBay, you can definitely sell on Walmart as well -and it's exploding! Walmart. com, while significantly smaller that Amazon .com is growing far faster - and that means huge opportunities for sellers like us! Did you know that Walmart has a program for third party sellers that is nearly identical to Amazon? They do fulfillment as well like Amazon (meaning they'll hold your products for you in a warehouse until they sell and then Walmart does the shipping to the customer.) On today’s podcast episode we talk to a leader on our team who has done seven figures in sales on Walmart recently and he unpacks how it all works and how you can strategically select what you should sell on Walmart. We also announce the launch of the new WALMART TRAINING course here: https://ProvenAmazonCourse.com/walmart This is a step by step guide into Walmart Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Y3a8iyxL-iE Show note LINKS: ProvenAmazonCourse.com/walmart- The latest training for sellers getting on the Walmart platform.

#865: Selling on Amazon in the US hands free from Australia
On today’s new episode of the podcast we feature a student turned coach who has built a beautiful business on Amazon(.com) in the US... from Australia! While Amazon does have a presence in Australia, it's so small there that most of our Australian-based students decide to sell only in the United States. The strategies we teach will work for you regardless of where you live! Today you’ll hear how this married couple went from students, to coaches and how they manage the logistics of having a business based in Australia that never sees or touches their inventory that's being sold in the US. Building a real business is never without its challenges, so we love bringing you the stories of people who have overcome those challenges to build something amazing. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the seller space scams that are "too good to be true". Jeff explains how to watch out for these alluring "companies" and how to avoid them. There's a simple test recommended by Jim and Jeff which will vet any company you may want to partner with and it's free.

#862: From REPLENS to launching his own product - another ProvenAmazonCourse story
We have an all new podcast episode for you today. It's an interview with a ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS student. It's about a homeschool family who has spent considerable time travelling in their fifth wheel trailer while raising five kids while growing their business. They've built a very nice income (their only income) by selling on Amazon helping fill the underserved shelf space at Amazon's 100s of warehouses (we call this selling model "replens"). Our guest Jared is also well on his way towards launching his own brand of unique candle designs and it's going very well! As with all the other 100s of stories from PAC students that we've shared on our show, Jared's story has ups and downs and plenty of insights and lessons that will benefit us all! One big theme towards the end of the episode is about finding a way to fund your dreams and passions. We both agree - building an Amazon biz with the basic models we teach here can be the foundational fuel that allows you to go deeper into the arenas you are passionate about - and that's exactly what Jared is doing!
