Jim and the guest talk through the process of selling and the evolution that occurs as new sellers continue on! Jim also reminds listeners to be sure to listen to podcasts!

Also, it’s normal for newer sellers to go through a “slump” when they are working hard to grow their business! It’s important to identify what is causing the slump This segment discusses Replen Dashboard as the recommended program to help sellers keep track of their inventory. Repricers are mentioned and how at the core of the Replen model, it really is quite simple if new sellers follow the My SIlent Team teachings! A new coaching student inquires about sending products to FBA (sourced via OA) as they come in or wait until they’ve all arrived? Jim also warns sellers NOT to sell against Generic ASINs or ASINs that have the brand misspelled, etc. Jim says if anything looks “weird” in a listing (the brand for example), then do further research. Also, be careful where you source products and make sure distributors are legitimate. Jim also discusses IP complaints and the mindset to approach those with Jim discusses some different tools and identifies the ones that are necessary for a new seller and one that can wait to get!

Today's guest was doing well on eBay, but found it to be a real grind listing and shipping constantly. He decided to learn about Amazon and he got into our provenamazoncourse.com course in August of this year.   As of early Nov 2023 he'd already sold 1,100+ transactions at a fantastic 25% net profit with far less time and effort expended.   On today's all new show he shares what he's selling, how he finds it and how he does it all as a ONE MAN SHOW. He's done it all without loans or credit cards... just flipping great inventory faster than he can buy it!   This guy is going to destroy any excuses you might have about not selling on Amazon using the REPLENS system that we teach in the PAC.   Sponsored by Buy or Sell on Amazon 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.

Following a PROVEN path to Amazon selling results is important, but of equal importance is AVOIDING the most common pitfalls that many sellers predictably fall into sadly. These mistakes slows their progress and makes the business journey far more difficult than it needs to be.   On this episode I discuss the TOP TEN most common pitfalls we are seeing among sellers lately - and how to easily avoid them on your way to building a beautiful business.   A few of the mistakes we've been seeing:   Sourcing from unapproved places Looking for "Profitable products" instead of test-worthy ASINs Paying too much to learn a bad strategy Jumping from one idea to the next without purpose Attempting to guess your way to the top without help ...and more   If you'd like to get on the RIGHT path and avoid these pitfalls, we suggest the provenamazoncourse.com or coaching from our team!   We are incredible success stories in our community and we'd love to have you on board as our next success story!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/lU2KIdktweQ   Show note LINKS:   https://ProvenBrandedBundles.com - Many of our top students use these exact strategies to sell multiple six figures monthly on Amazon by simply placing name brand items in unique bundles   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - the comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

Highlights from this episode include discussing the small and light program, silentjim.com/returns (for sellers who don’t want to handle all their returned items) and selling seasonal items. The guest also discusses how he took an IP complaint and turned it into an opportunity to develop a relationship with the brand!   We covered episode #667 - New PAC student Just a few months in and crushing it - Kevin Alazmo. You can listen to the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast   Highlight topics: “So how’d you get started?” The guest shares details regarding his first Yankee candle sales by FBM (Fulfilled by merchant). (Jim cautions sellers to avoid sourcing from close outs or liquidations as it’s a bit of a risky approach).   “From candles, what happened next?” The guest talks about how he is selling primarily topical clearance items but how they have morphed into replens and bundles! Jim also reminds listeners that if they do utilize leads lists, they should be utilized as a research tool and starting point to rabbit trail off of! (rather than just buying the exact products on the list!) Jim’s recommendations are to get off the beaten path, build relationships, take advantage of local resources and get your own list of ASINs! And remember that every good Replen ASIN is going to have a shelf life - which may be a few weeks or months but will eventually die off (temporarily or even permanently).   The guest quotes Inky Johnson, “Learn from the mistakes of others because you can’t make them all yourself!” Jim shares that this is essentially his definition of wisdom!   “One more tip I wanted to share…” The guest gives a golden tip of how to route out your store stops using GPS and adding stops to be able to hit every place you need to go! Jim then discusses how to go about growing your business and that really starts with teaching someone else how to source and find Replens (before hiring someone to help prep).   The guest highly recommends the coaching program, utilizing the My Silent Team Facebook page and the Proven Amazon Course. Jim and the guest also reiterate the incredible opportunity there is for new sellers to build and grow an incredible online business! Amazon is not too saturated with sellers as sometimes is heard!   Jim mentions how incredibly important it is to prioritize a mental and physical break from the daily grind and take a day off per week.  He also emphasizes how pace and sustainable habits are more important than the hustle and grind!   Jim answers the question, “At what point do you go from a full time job to full time Amazon?”    Show note LINKS:   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam Join 70,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

Former coaching student turned successful branded bundle entrepreneur, guest_name_1, shares his consistent success on Amazon by launching branded bundles. The podcast discusses the proven process of going from REPLENS to branded bundles, as well as other income streams. They also talk about the importance of coaching, navigating the e-commerce industry safely, and tips for improving bundled product listings.

Today's guest has a background in real estate, but his ascent into success using the Amazon REPLENS system has been astonishingly rapid!   Starting with just a few hundred dollars a little over 3 months ago, he now is expecting to finish the year with well over $100K in total sales at great margins! He's finding loads of winning inventory!   There's NEVER been a better time to be an entrepreneur than RIGHT NOW in my opinion and a big reason for that is the low risk, low learning curve, high odds of success business model of REPLENS as taught as the foundational business model of the provenamazoncourse.com course.   Filling the underserved shelf space at Amazon is a big biz for so many in our community - this is just one of 100's of great interviews we've had with students who are succeeding and we'd love to show you how it works!   Listen in and be inspired!
