#730: Lessons learned coaching numerous people to success recently selling on Amazon
"So, what do I need to learn next in order to succeed with my online or Amazon business?" Have you ever asked that? We can help. There are several reasons our E-commerce coaching program has lasted for over two decades while most business coaching companies fail within a year or two. The biggest reason by far is all of the success stories we've generated from our courses (provenamazoncourse.com) and coaching clients - and all those successful students tell others! That's how our community continues to grow without paid advertising! The next biggest factor however is this one I'm pretty sure: We don't have a "cookie cutter" approach to coaching. All our coaches are top performing students who have carved out some time to help others succeed. That's quite unique in the industry. Today's discussion with two of our top coaches illustrates that exact point. There's also a great segment near the end of the episode that I think really gives you a nice peek inside the lives of the high quality people we have on our leadership team here. You'll love the last few minutes of Brian and Robin Joy's discussion. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why is Amazon limiting storage for some FBA sellers on the front end of Q4? What can we do about it?

#728: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students
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. If you have questions about Keepa, this episode is a must listen for you! Just a few of the highlights captured by the team: Jim lays out exactly what “underserved listings” are and how to go about finding them. Highly recommended podcasts include #554, which talks about ignoring the buy box and #369, which talks all about Keepa! He discusses Keepa drops and how those drops indicate if an item is moving (selling). Sales rank itself is an irrelevant number to replens sellers! Jim thoroughly explains the Proven Branded Bundles module and all the amazing opportunities there are with creating your own bundles! Jim recommends joining the My Silent Team Facebook page and searching for “gated” or “ungating” for lots of information on this topic! Categories open for new sellers include: Pet supplies (not food), sports equipment, arts and crafts, kitchen, household items, school and office supplies. Once sellers sell about 30-40 items, “the gates start falling open!” Show note LINKS: Keepa.com - https://get.keepa.com/ede41 -The service we use to help interpret all of the selling data. Keepa is discussed in depth on episode 369 at https://silentjim.com/podcast ProvenBrandedBundles.com - Learn to set up ASIN's (listings on Amazon) that belong ONLY to you and contain recognized, popular brand names!
