Today's guest is a coaching student and provenamazoncourse.com student who has built a robust multiple five figure per month REPLENS business selling on Amazon.com (US).   He's doubled his business this year over last year and he has big goals for the future.   He has a team of virtual assistants (he calls them teammates) who are filling all the vital roles of his business and you even get to briefly meet a few of them on today's episode (although we had some audio issue so we had to edit that portion a bit).   He's using a US based prep center to store and ship his inventory and he even does a significant amount of FBM (merchant fulfill) without ever seeing or touching his inventory!   Our guest says his top priority is to "make my role unnecessary" - and he's well on his way to doing it!   Sponsored by Arbitrage Card - Save cash with DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS!

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team goes live on Zoom with whoever can join us to answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.   Highlights put together by the podcast team :   Jim reminds all new sellers that they should start with The Proven Amazon Course (PAC). He also discusses the “Getting Started” module and recommends the Kick Start Bootcamp    Jim discusses why now is the best time to start selling physical products online and how market saturation is not a concern! E-commerce is the way of the future! Robin Joy discusses how the Kick Start Bootcamp is an incredible opportunity! She also discusses the Path to 100 ASINs course - go to provenamazoncourse.com/100 to fill out the survey and be notified of upcoming courses in 2024    Robin Joy outlines the basic financial needs to start your business: a professional selling account, Keepa account and some money for inventory. With the Replens model, the goal is to put money in the bank as you learn! Jim summarizes the model - low-low-high: low risk, low investment, high chance of success    Jim talks about finding test worthy ASINs (underserved listings) vs profitable products! He recommends new sellers listen to podcast episode #554, which further explains this strategy!    Jim records a “mini live podcast” during this Monday Facebook live. Key points include: -Foundational method is the Replens model - finding test worthy ASINs -Why right now is the best time to embark on an e-commerce business? (only 15-17% retail economic activity is online!) -Jim also discusses inflation and how that plays into this business! -We live in a time where there is such incredible disparity in the value of the US dollar!   A listener asks Jim about putting expenses on a credit card (Seller account, Keepa, inventory, etc). Jim talks about what's needed financially to build a slow, steady and solid business. He recommends a book from one of our own community members - From Homeless to Homeowner by Carolyn McFall   A seasoned eBay seller shares how he is utilizing his selling background to help get up and running on Amazon. The guest also inquires of Jim if he should sell the same products FBA as well as FBM! Jim also gives a couple tips about selling FBM during Q4!   Jim recommends Amazon University for new sellers and/or the Kick Start boot camp, which the guest inquires as to how far he needs to be into The PAC to do the boot camp!    The guest asks about cashback websites such as Rakuten, as well as discounted gift cards, and wonders how to factor those into the profitability of products. silentjim.com/giftcards for more info on how to utilize gift cards. The guest asks Jim if he feels FBA or FBM is experiencing more growth!    Show note LINKS: KICKSTART Bootcamp - Brand New to Amazon and REPLENS?

On today's podcast we talk about BUYING and SELLING Amazon's account. Yes, it's allowed and legal - but doing it yourself is unwise.   Aaron (our guest) has helped over 1,500 sellers navigate the transfer of ownerships of Amazon stores. Even an "empty" Amazon store that's sat dormant for a couple years could be worth significant cash!   Read about the only Buy/Sell services that we like at: SilentJim.com/buyorsell   Some details: It's within Amazon policy and a perfectly legitimate arrangement to transfer business ownership of an Amazon seller account.   Who should BUY an Amazon account: If you are well positioned to take advantage of buying an established Amazon account at the start of your Amazon journey, it can make sense to do so! Benefits include potentially far faster payouts, fewer category or storage restrictions, a better seller rating on the platform and an established account health reputation with Amazon - just to name a few.   Who should SELL an Amazon account: Are you looking to step away from Amazon for a season? Maybe other opportunities have come your way, or you're in a season of life (permanently or temporarily) where selling your account makes sense. Your established account could be worth more money that you might realize!   That's the topic of today's show!   This episode is sponsored by the https://JimCockrumCoaching.com team! We have nearly 60 coaches currently. Set up a time to chat with us about coaching if you are ready to speed up your journey towards having a real business that you can be proud to own.

Did you know there are over 4 BILLION listings (products) on Amazon? That’s a lot of opportunity to sell against existing listings!   Are you thinking too small about the rapidly expanding opportunity to be a third party FBA seller on Amazon?   On today’s new podcast episode we discuss just how wide open and expansive the REPLENS strategy truly is as taught in the provenamazoncourse.com course.    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: How can I know if a small retail store is "safe" for sourcing as a reseller on Amazon?   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/qFdZVcYipSk   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!

Today's guest quit his last "real job" in the late 90s (on the day he won employee of the month at his last employer) and has been an entrepreneur in e-commerce since then. The first 15 minutes of our discussion is his history of ups and downs with various business models, including how he lost everything in 2014 when he inadvertently broke laws that he didn't realize existed.   Now he's helping brands sell about $80K per month with the PPP (Proven Product Partnering) model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course as well as a few other models we discuss. Because of his long time experience in ecommerce and his ongoing success with the models we teach, we've also brought him on board as a coach on our team!   This interview is just more evidence that the knowledge you gain by starting and running a basic Amazon selling account like we teach gives you incredible advantages and opportunities in many arenas!   Today's sponsor! https://humnbird.com - They help sellers get established on Amazon.com (sell in the US from anywhere in the world) They specialize in everything from Intellectual Property, Trademarks, Patents, Corporation Setup to Branding, Design and Marketing.
