Today's guest is a former high school teacher and IT professional who stepped away from her career to live a flexible lifestyle on her own terms thanks to the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and her multiple six figure sales.   Initially, she considered launching a private label brand with a different strategy before finding us, but she moved decided against that because of what she calls some "sketchy" elements in the other group, but as she's grown into the Amazon opportunity, she's now exploring branded bundles as her way to step into building a brand without needing any new products of her own.   She's also had significant success with moving items from Canada to the US and vice versa - a cool twist to the typical sourcing strategies that we've ever heard on our show!   We are so glad she found our community and she has an exciting story to share!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/h9gf3JU_S7I   Today's show is sponsored by Arbitrage Card - Save cash with DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS!

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 podcast team:   Jim gives a general overview about the My Silent Team community and FB group. He also gives an explanation of the Replen model, which is basically serving the underfilled shelf space at Amazon! Jim also mentions the coaching program   Jim discusses if sellers should have just one Amazon seller account vs separate accounts for RA vs Private Label products (PL)   Jim suggests a service called Humnbird for help as well as recommending sellers find a local small business accountant to work with regarding taxes   Jim encourages new sellers listen to Podcast #369 to learn more about Keepa. Also, there is a new module in The PAC called Advanced Keepa Training. Jim also shares his teams approach on how to read Keepa and how to know when to test   A new sellers on the Facebook live shares encouragement with other new sellers! Jim also reiterates that there is a ton of FREE information available on the My Silent Team Facebook page    Jim talks about how The Advanced Keepa training course by the Olsens (in The PAC) lists 10 different ways to use Keepa to find under served ASINs .    Jim discusses using Prep centers for international sellers. Prepcenternetwork.com is a website that can be used to find a prep center. InternationalAZ.com (this module is also in The PAC) helps new sellers navigate some unique challenges   The guest asks Jim his opinion on Print on Demand - provenPOD.com is where a module can be found on this exact topic! This is a slightly more involved strategy.   Jim recommends Jimmy Smith’s private FB group called 0-100K, which has standard operating procedures and lots of posts about schedules and routines.

There's a reason why we have more success stories in our community than any other E-commerce community I've ever seen. It's a combination of several things. The 20+ years experience succeeding with E-commcere, eBay & Amazon, the team of 60+ coaches with beautiful businesses, proven strategies that are carefully vetted and tested for months before we dare share them with our community and perhaps most importantly...   We start virtually ALL of our students with the same basic skills that ensure they EARN while they LEARN.   Today I go through some of the exciting strategies we have coming soon that are all built on the foundation of the basics strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.   Bottom line: 2023 will end with amazing new records being set, and 2024 will be the greatest opportunity E-commerce business building warriors have ever seen!   At the end of the episode we are also excited to bring you a success story about how a student (who is now a coach) went from about $4K per month in profits to tens of thousands monthly with a creative funding solution!

The interview portion of today's episode was recorded BEFORE the terrorist attack in Israel. The episode is with a good friend of mine - Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife Susan who are currently in Israel on a business trip.   One of the lessons he taught me about being a business building warrior is that you never allow things that are out of your control to steal your attention from those responsibilities that are under your control. One of those responsibilities (even during times of uncertainty) is your BUSINESS!   If you want some practical insight into timeless truths - the very timeless truths that have shaped my business and the numerous Lapin fans in our community for over 15 years, then this is an episode that you'll cherish.   This episode is a bit different from the norm, but our guest today LOVES our ProvenAmazonCourse.com family and is also our keynote speaker at our upcoming May 2024 live event in Orlando FL (TheProvenConference.com event)   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Mi5BW1Kp_Bo   Show note LINKS:   "The Holistic You" By Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin - find it on Amazon (and leave a review!)   https://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!

  This segment will be a huge encouragement to new sellers who are struggling to get momentum or who are having difficulty staying motivated! Jim talks about “bringing dad’s home” as the core mission of his work!   We covered episode #618 - This Coaching Student's journey is a journey of mindset and consistency. You can listen to the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast   Highlights compiled by the podcast team:   Jim and the guest also discuss how important mindset and relationships are in this Amazon journey! Jim also praises the guest for the intentionality in his prayers regarding his business and learning! Jim summarizes the coaching program and how it builds relationships with future leaders in our community, which is the biggest asset of the program!   Jim shares resources that have been helpful for him in his ecommerce business: Evangelprenurer (Josh Tolley) and The Gathering Storm: Decoding the Secrets of Noah (Rabbi Daniel Lapin). The guest also mentions a book he found helpful: The Household and the War for the Cosmos (C.R. Wiley).   The guest talks about his 1st $10,000 month in sales but also shares his struggles in maintaining momentum!   Jim says that without even meeting someone, he can tell them their future by simply asking some questions: Who are your friends? What are your habits / your discipline? How do you treat women? How consistent are you?   Jim talks with the guest about how his business is currently doing and suggests toys as a great category to start selling in again now that the safety certificates are largely taken care of. There is a great module in PAC on how to streamline the prepping and shipping process, which Jimmy Smith and Pablo Aguilar put together.   The guest asks Jim how to know when a seller is ready to access outside funding! Jim says if you’ve tracked your numbers, know your net margins and are confident in your ability to find winning ASINs.   The guest offers a few additional tips: be consistent, track numbers, build relationships and don’t be afraid to ask for help (“cheat code”!)   Show note LINKS:   Stay in touch!

On today's all new podcast episode we meet two friends who've know each other since the 6th grade and together they've built a successful business using the provenamazoncourse.com strategies that you've heard so many of our podcast guests rave about!   They've done everything from Etsy, to books and bulk purchases, but their business stabilized and they had their first ever seven figure year with the REPLENS model that has been the foundation of so many great success stories!   They are now getting into branded bundles (as taught in the ProvenBrandedBundles.com course) as well as wholesaling (as taught in the PAC) and they have big plans for the future.   They've had their share of challenges along the way that they share with transparency, but they are moving forward with a great business, determination and a stronger friendship than ever.

If you've heard some of the 100's of success story interviews among new Amazon sellers on our podcast, you've likely say many times that, "You should be looking for ASINs instead of 'winning products' on Amazon"   What does that mean?

How can we help you like we've helped so many others?   Today's episode explains the systems we've created that will help you find the opportunity hiding right under your nose on Amazon. It's the REPLENS system - and it's where we start 95% of all our new Amazon selling students.

Today I share some practical tips and strategies for finding great workers who can help you grow - often for just a few dollars ($3-$4/hr). What jobs can they take on? How do you narrow down the candidates quickly if you get 100s or more candidates applying? Isn't paying them $3-$4 exploitation? What jobs do these VA's do for Amazon sellers?
