#836: Should you pursue your passions or profits when building your ecommerce income streams?
Is it good advice or possibly dangerous advice to tell someone to "follow your passions"? Is it better to "pursue profits" instead of "following your passions"? Are there business models that you can become passionate about once you see the happy customers you've served well all lining up to say "thank you"? Which comes first, FEELING GOOD or TAKING ACTION? All these topics are important for a business building warrior, and I'd venture to say that nearly 100% of the scores of successful students in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com community have a great deal of clarity on this topic!

#834: Virtually every Amazon seller can get $400 now just for doing this
On average, every Amazon seller is owed between 1-3% of ALL SALES back from Amazon in lost reimbursements. These are funds that most sellers will never collected UNLESS they are constantly staying on top of all owed reimbursements from loss, damage, misplaced etc. inventory at Amazon FBA. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a company that charged you NOTHING to find all those reimbursements and get you the cash you're owed? Better yet, what if you could try them out and never pay them a penny out of pocket? (They only get paid a small cut when they find your money!) GETIDA is that service - and if you use this link to sign up FOR FREE: SilentJim.com/reimburse ...then, they have $400 in free reimbursements for you right now! They'll never charge you a penny for their services and you can drop out anytime - no commitment necessary!
