In this segment, you'll hear a bunch of great highlights, but a few nuggets are what are the essential tools to get started, an inside look at sourcing and why the "why" is important.   You can hear the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast Episode #613 - Four months into AZ Replens and these lifelong friends are seeing exciting results     HIghlight notes:   The guests talk about starting their Amazon selling and discuss The My SIlent Team facebook page, The Proven Amazon course (PAC), Keepa, coaching and how they got up and running! Jim also mentions that he is more interested in hearing about the trajectory of someone’s business and validation of the concept rather than the actual numbers per se   The guests discuss their sourcing methods - OA (online arbitrage) and RA (retail arbitrage), using Tactical Arbitrage (TA), and how important spreadsheets are for their business   Jim discusses Oasimplified.com, which is a module inside the PAC, that teaches how to use TA as a tool to find replens   Jim discusses the guests’ ROI and profit margin as they get off to a great start! “The more you know, the more you grow!” is the guests’ motto. Jim also discusses “the why” behind all the teaching that he and his team do!   Jim asks the guests to talk about the “bad decisions” they’ve made, which in reality, are minimal when doing the replens model! Jim also takes the opportunity to mention some things that friends should consider when going into business together, as these guests have done   The guests mention some tips for newer sellers - 1) stay positive (mindset) 2) have determination 3) know your why and your goals. Jim also mentions the Provenproductpartnering.com course (in the PAC), which teaches how to partner with brands to get them on Amazon   Jim emphasizes that mindset and relationships are critical building blocks for your business! Jim also reminds the listeners that there are only 3 things you need to get started: Amazon selling account, Keepa and the Proven Amazon Course. The Kick Start course, which is available to new PAC members, is a great way to get your business off to a great start!   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!   My Silent Team Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

There's no support community like this one anywhere else in the world!   KICKSTART Bootcamp - Brand New to Amazon and REPLENS? All students of the provenamazoncourse.com course who've not yet made their first REPLENS sale will benefit greatly from this series of live (and recorded of course) zoom group sessions with a coach - it's only $39! Contact Support@SilentSalesMachine.com for details especially if you are a PAC student.   Questions and comments: Jim shares how we are a community working together and not competitors working against each other! The primary reason behind Jim’s teaching is because only 16-18% of all retail economic activity is online so there is a lot of opportunity for everyone! He also reminds the listeners how important relationships are in building your business!   New sellers should watch this video to learn what the replens model is: https://Silentjim.com/introvideo.    Jim explains how often times another seller will provide the safety certificate that is needed for the listing (only 1 seller has to provide it). So an approach can be to just sit on your inventory for a little while and wait for someone else to provide it (if you aren’t able to locate it yourself)   Jim reminds the listeners that we are looking for underserved ASINs, not winning products! Jim encourages newer sellers to listen to Podcast #554 - Ignore the Amazon “buy box” more if you want to sell more Amazon Replens. Remember the “rule of 3” - if you buy it for $8, then you’ll want to sell it for $24. Also, it’s highly recommended that new sellers join the KickStart Boot Camp (must be a Proven Amazon Course student)   How are results and feedback…” Provenbotsourcing.com is a program that scapes retail websites which helps sellers find potential replens. It’s proving to be a very effective way to source but certainly not the only way   Jim discusses what IP concerns are and explains how to look at the Keepa graph to determine if this might be a concern - look for the “skateboard ramp of death.” Jeff Schick is an attorney that is vetted with Jim’s program and is highly recommended for any legal assistance needed   Jim discusses Amazon to Amazon flips and how to go about doing that properly - do not use prime discount for ordering   The guest mentions Coach Susan Gilbert’s “micro goals to macro visions” and talks about how slow and steady is the way to  build your business! Jim also discusses pricing and how it can be challenging for new replen sellers   Jim explains the difference between scanning barcodes (Easter egg hunt model) vs searching for underserved ASINs on Amazon. Nathan mentions “spokes in the marketing world” and how much opportunity there is for selling online! Nate mentions Jim’s candlelight vs cake analogy   Jim answers the guest’s question regarding how to get the most value out of the coaching program! Jim again recommends newer sellers listen to podcast episode #554 - “Ignore the Amazon buy box more if you want to sell more Amazon replens!” The head of the coaching team, Nathan Bailey, also adds to the discussion on the coaching program! Jim summarizes by saying, “Stay encouraged with the team (other sellers), go faster with a coach!”               Jim answers the guest’s question about how to best balance time! Nathan suggests using a business journal to help manage time in order to be successful and mentions the 4 D’s in business - 1) Do It, 2) Delegate it, 3) Drop it, 4) Delay it      

On today's all new episode we dive into the topic of selling BRANDED BUNDLES on Amazon.   We are super excited to launch ProvenBrandedBundles.com!   We've been seeing some exciting success stories and momentum on our team lately with this concept! One of our students discussed today has all 40 of his branded bundle listings on Amazon on FIRE (all of them are doing well!)   There's a lot to love about doing bundles the right way on Amazon. You have easily sourced inventory on a unique ASIN (listing) that's impossible for others to sell against because one or more of the items in the bundle is something that ONLY you can source. When set up properly, you can see amazing results.   There are pitfalls to avoid, and you definitely DO NOT want to blindly guess your way through setting these up, but WOW - this is a powerful strategy for those ready to do the work!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/qSQd3s4Tokk   Don't forget to check out sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely accounting for all hidden fees and in real time.

Today's all new podcast episode will be great for our newer Amazon selling students who don't quite understand the difference between looking for "profitable products" and "filling underserved shelf space at Amazon".   Get in the flow...that's the big lesson today!   Are you over complicating the process of building a business on Amazon? Part of the beauty of being an Amazon seller is that you benefit from all the work that Amazon does in attracting millions of buyers to their site, and countless brands (including millions of brands that YOU can sell) are attracting buyers to YOUR LISTINGS!   In other words, success for especially our newest provenamazoncourse.com students is NOT a matter of "finding profitable products", it's a matter getting in the game on fast moving products, underserved listings and test-worthy ASINs that offer a high chance of moving at a profitable price for you.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Gs_8365pXNQ Enjoy the conversation!   Show note LINKS: JimCockrumCoaching.com - Get a free session with a business consultant on our team at 1-800-994-1792 / 1-801-693-1688 or TEXT US at 385-284-7701 (US & Canada only for Text)  ALL of our coaches are running very successful businesses of their own based on the models we teach here!   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!

Once per week or so I love to go live on Zoom in the Facebook group with whoever can join me and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. Recently, we recorded one of these sessions for you.   Added segment - Alex from Sellerboard discusses the features and advantages of this tool. Special pricing can be found at: silentjim.com/numbers   Questions and comments:   Jim discusses the frustration that some new sellers experience with being gated in so many categories / brands. New sellers can start selling in: arts & crafts, sporting goods, pets (not pet food), household goods - kitchen / bath, office supplies   Jim offers guidance on how to go about testing replens   Jim reminds new sellers, if you want to learn more about Keepa, go listen to podcast episode #369. Jim also reminds the listeners that “Once a coaching student, always a coaching student!”   Among Replen sellers, there are about 35-40 different tools that sellers can possibly use! Selleramp has a great reputation and is similar to RevSeller. Just remember - the most important data point when making replens decisions is - is this a test worthy ASIN? - which is what Keepa will tell you! Keepa is the most important tool to use! There are affiliate links available for Revseller and Selleramp   Jim offers the following suggestions for building relationships: 1) Relationships differentiate the people who make it vs those who don’t! 2) My Silent Team FB group allows you to enter your location and see other sellers who live nearby! 3)  “There is no such thing as a neutral interaction!” 4) Kickstart boot camp helps new sellers get a jump start to their business! 5) Brian and Robin Joy Olson are hosting The 100 ASIN course in Salt Lake City in mid September.
