#900: A coaching student who didn't expect to need an Amazon business and is grateful for support
Today's new interview is with a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who was forced to find a way to earn an income "indoors" after having an accident riding horses.

He's a big fan of our coaching program as well as he explains, "I wish I would have started with coaching sooner - I would have avoided so many mistakes and would have ramped up even faster." You'll enjoy Brian's matter-of-fact, plain spoken approach to describing what he sells, where he finds it, how he applies his sourcing rules to keepa and much more on today's all new episode.

#897: An overview episode: THE definition of Replens
In this episode, we dive into the concept of "replens" and how it differentiates from Online Arbitrage (OA), Retail Arbitrage (RA), and Wholesale. We start by discussing a crucial piece of advice from our Kickstart Bootcamp—always check the brand! Nothing else matters if the brand doesn't match. Then, we explore a common question from a new coaching client: What exactly is a "replen"? We break down the definition, highlighting how replenishable items don't need to be consumable and can be sourced at full price, as long as they are viable, testable, and consistently replenishable. Additionally, we tackle the ideal price point for replen items, reflecting on our journey from an average resale price of $15 in the early days to $25 today. You'll also hear insights on how some clients have succeeded with lower-cost items that resell between $10-$15. Whether you're just starting out or refining your strategy, this episode offers valuable guidance on building a sustainable business model with replens! Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses how speed kills. The most important policy violation remedies for sellers who have an IP complaint against them.

On today's all new podcast episode I interview a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has been through several stages of development in his business.
