Silent Sales Machine Radio

In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. In this segment we discuss both the upcoming Proven Conference and our Lego selling training program. We also include the benefits of selling toys online.   Greg spoke at the 2023 virtual conference and will be speaking live at the May 23-25, 2024 Proven Amazon Conference in Orlando! 2011-2012 started Greg’s e-commerce journey when he needed to get money together for a house down payment! The 2014 Frozen movie really ramped up his eBay business before he then transitioned to selling those items on Amazon. And the rest is history!   Jim talks about how there are so many ways to make money online but focuses specifically on Lego sales with this guest! They also discuss the new course called provenbrickinvesting.com! This course is geared for new sellers who have never sold Legos before - focusing on the terminology used, patterns or themes to look for, life cycles and retiring sets, where to buy them, how to store them, etc. “Dollar density” is a phrase that is used to describe the approach the guest takes    The guest outlines what this new course is going to look like!: Session 1 - introduction and general concepts  Session 2 - discussion of the real meat and potatoes of the program/how it works/how to get ungated, etc. Session 3 - things you may not think about/technical discussion/how to store them, etc   The guest also discusses “store exclusives” - which provides another level of scarcity for the supply and demand of the sets. Jim talks about how this is really the 1st course they’ve done that uses this approach of: “buy strategically, hold and then sell.” Jim is really excited about the addition of another income stream available to his community!   Jim asks the guest how he handles his “duds” - eBay and Walmart.com are alternatives the guest uses if/as needed    Jim discusses how there will also be a Facebook community for the sellers who take this course and also addresses international sellers and if this Lego course is doable for them - which it absolutely is! Jim and the guest also discuss getting/being ungated in Legos.   Show note LINKS:    To join Greg's private mastermind for Lego/toy sellers use this link - https://SilentJim.com/legosmastermind   ProvenBrickInvesting.com - Learn how to sell Legos with Greg Webb!   Come meet your fellow listeners to this podcast, dozens of our coaches and hundreds of business building warriors at our live event in May!

In my hometown and in many other places as well there’s an item which is sold by the hundreds or more every day for several dollars each, yet strangely…. ANYONE can get the exact same item in any quantity they'd like packaged the exact same way FOR FREE just a couple hundred yards away. Does that make any sense at all to you? It's true. I'll tell you exactly where it's happening on today's new podcast. This lesson will help you understand one of the under-used Amazon selling strategies we teach and use.  It’s true… Every day millions of shoppers on Amazon pay way more than they have to for the items they want.  Until you understand the mind of the Amazon shoppers and how grateful they are for CONVENIENCE, you will be overlooking millions of potentially profitable listings that you could sell against - it's one of the strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/11zVxFi4M9s   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   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 or visit https://silentsalesmachine.com/ssm11/ffv11/!   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

While we really love to see business building warriors diving head first into self education, when it comes to selling on Amazon there are several very common mistakes you're likely to make if you try to go it alone and learn it all yourself.   On today's episode I cover the top mistakes sellers make in regards to going too big too fast, thinking too small or creating a hamster wheel business model, or simply pursuing ideas that cause you to ultimately lose in the end in spite of the hype.   We talk about dropshipping, selling liquidations on Amazon, scanning barcodes and selling books as well as the hot trend of "done for you" models and using "overhyped tools"!   There's something for all Amazon sellers in this episode.   You can watch today's episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8bQYTQyVhNg   Show note LINKS:   Come meet your fellow listeners to this podcast, dozens of our coaches and hundreds of business building warriors at our live event in May!

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.   Highlights collected by the team: Jim gives an overview of the community and why we recommend new sellers start with the Replens Model, which has a “low, low high” theme - low investment required, low learning curve and high odds of success! Jim also discusses the www.provenAZinfluencer.com program and how our community is getting excited about this newer program!    Jim discusses how there are discounts available for PAC and coaching students Listeners can also email support for any questions or concerns: support@silentsalesmachine.com   Jim talks about how to use the MST Facebook page to find other sellers who are located close to you! He also highly recommends the Kick Start boot camp for those who have PAC as a way to jump start your business, meet other new sellers and create community with them! The Kick Start program is only $40 for 4 group coaching sessions - www.silentjim.com/kickstart.com and also has a private Facebook group so participants can connect! The Proven Conference is another great way to meet people and develop relationships that are so crucial to this business! www.theprovenconference.com Conference will be May 23-25, 2024 in Orlando!   Jim talks about how important relationships are in this business and how it can be very lonely without them!  The guest recommends a book called Fire Yourself First by Jeff Russell. Jim also recommends Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who will be the keynote speaker at this year's Proven Amazon Conference! As far as a recession goes, Jim’s advice is to not participate!!   In May at the Proven Amazon Conference, Coaches Brian and Robin Joy are doing a workshop called 100 ASINs. They teach the 3 step check, 4 week test, to build a 5 figure business in 6 months if you are consistent! www.provenamazoncourse.com/100   Jim has suggestions and a word of warning for a newer seller in terms of utilizing a VA. Jim and Coach Robin Joy also give some guidelines for listing bundles: do not set up new listings if you are a newer seller - too many risks involved. www.provenbrandedbundles.com for a specific course on bundles and how to do it correctly!   New sellers often ask how to find profitable products but rather the question should be how to find “test worthy ASINs" or “underserved shelf space at Amazon!!” Jim has posted many examples on the My Silent Team Facebook page demonstrating exactly how this works! Jim recommends listeners go to Podcast #554 for an in depth discussion on this topic and Podcast #369 is a thorough discussion on Keepa!   The guest mentions the 3 step check that Robin Joy teaches in order to determine “the worst case scenario.” (more info about this in Podcast #612). Jim talks about the pink line on the Keepa chart in making this decision   Show note LINKS:   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

Not all of our ProvenAmazonCourse.com students go on to build beautiful businesses. While we are quite proud of the fact that THOUSANDS of sellers point to our coaching and content as having helped them build something special, and we are also proud to mention that we've interviewed hundreds of them on our podcast- the truth is, it doesn't always work out!   While there are endless reasons why any business can ultimately fail, there's a common theme we've noticed among Amazon and e-commerce warriors who don't quite make it. I'd venture to guess that just about anyone who has "taken a shot at it" and come up short likely faced one or more of the threats we'll talk through on today's episode and failed to overcome it.   It's good to be informed and avoid these common threats to your success!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/bwucLsc3uXU   Today's episode is sponsored by Sellerboard Check out sellerboard - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time.

Do you journal? It's a fantastic predictor of future success. The things you write about, you think about differently - you can put your brain to work "behind the scenes" solving challenges while you go about your business IF you put pen to paper!

On today's all new podcast episode we interview a couple who has been in our community as students of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com for about six years. They've seen periods of incredible success as well as some challenging times, but they've learned and grown and diversified their way into a nice business.   They have some great stories to share about their journey and there's a little something for everyone as they discuss what's worked, what didn't work so well and where they are going from here. They've done it together as a couple and the sky is the limit for this dedicated team of two!   They are picking up momentum currently on Walmart as well - a topic we plan to hit very heavily in some break out sessions at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com event in Orlando!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/-kiFbfxh6vM   Today's episode is sponsored by Getida -  http://silentjim.com/reimburse Are you wondering if you are not getting all of your Amazon payouts like refund reimbursements?

In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show.   We covered episode #763 From zero e-commerce experience to a multiple five figure biz in a few months. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast   This podcast features 53 year old twins Jerry and John, who have worked together for over 30 years! Jerry details how they found Jim Cockrum and what drew them to this community! John shares how they toyed with the idea of joining a “done for you program” but ended up not going that route - thankfully!   Jim reiterates how so many programs (about 98%) are scams and a quick way to lose money. Jim recommends a “litmus test” before joining any program and that starts with finding their community and hanging out with them for a while.   The guests share how they are doing both RA (retail arbitrage) and OA (online arbitrage). Jim talks about the “lightbulb moment” that happens when it clicks for new sellers. Jim mentions Podcast #744   The guests share how when they 1st started. They also discuss how more brands became ungated for them when they reached about $7000 in sales. The guests talk about how they primarily do FBA now that they have proof of concept that this strategy works! Jim and the guests talk about the analogy with sports when it comes to Amazon selling   The guest shares how he was skeptical going into his 1st conference because he is a “connoisseur of good leadership” Jim says that “leaders produce leaders!” and that leadership is a topic that he is very passionate about!   The guest shares, as a new seller, he feels that finding test worthy ASINs is the #1 priority and Jim wholeheartedly agrees! Repricers are discussed as well Jim talks with the guests what to expect as their business grows! He recommends looking into branded bundles . Jim reminds everyone that a rising tide raises all ships!   The guests ask Jim how he recommends increasing their sales to $100-$200k: Jim shares a Dave Ramsey principle about small businesses: The 1st person you hire should be someone who goes out and kills something and brings it back into the cave…”   The guests share their thankfulness for Jim, his community and all the available help. Jim shares how he views his work as a ministry and how he loves what he does! Jim says how he doesn’t want followers but instead success stories coming out of this community!    Jim has a discussion with vetted insurance agent Ashlin Hadden regarding insuring your Amazon business!

Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student interview is with a guy who blasted past six figures in total sales pretty fast and you'll love hearing his inspirational story!   He's following the REPLENS model and is really doing well with the "above buy box" method as you'll soon hear.   As a matter of fact he recently sold 20 units in a single day of a product that was priced well above all the other sellers who were fighting over the "buy box" using the strategy that we teach in the PAC. He tells all about this strategies and how's he's gone form "clueless newbie" to Amazon selling success story in such a short time.   Also note - he'll be at the TheProvenConference.com event in Orlando in May with 100s of other members of this community - plan to meet him there!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/ECw40l7W3cg   Today's episode is sponsored by Sellerboard Check out sellerboard - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time.
