After watching 1,000s of ecommerce businesses launch in our community and observing who "makes it" long term and who doesn't, I've definitely detected some incredible patterns.   Here's a hard question: Why is it that people who have MORE disadvantages and MORE desperation and MORE right to a list of complaints and excuses than you do seem to be performing FAR BETTER than you are in their ecommerce or provenamazoncourse.com business models?   Have you ever noticed that or seen it around you? We see it here everyday.   I'm not the only one observing these patterns either - there seems to be timeless truths emerging in this pattern. There's even a recent best selling book that identifies these exact patterns as well - it asks the question:   "Why do immigrants (better described as 'emigrants') who build businesses succeed more frequently than do natural born citizens from that same culture?"   ... that's what I discuss on today's episode.   Once you know you have a viable business model to follow, the person in the mirror might be the only one holding you back from extreme success.   See if you agree with my take on the best selling book discussed on today's episode.   Book discussed: "The Emigrant Edge" by Brian Buffini   Today's episode is sponsored by High Five. https://silentjim.com/highfive Free software helping to get more reviews for your Amazon listings.   Watch this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/B0csdM1qVYM   Show note LINKS:    My Silent Team Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

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. The questions we discussed this time clarify what is the "replens model", my background story in doing this over twenty years, how to get around gated categories as a new seller, the difference between a brand and a category, and how to better understand profit margins.  This episode has great tips and resources for all skill levels of sellers - enjoy!   If you'd like to join us for a live zoom session, the next one is Monday July 17th at 5PM ET (New York time) and you are invited to join us using this zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84823798446   SilentSalesMachine.com - text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book about building multiple income streams online!   Questions and comments:   Jim does an introduction regarding the Replens Model, the Proven Amazon Course and MySilentTeam Facebook page   Jim gives some background to his multiple streams of e-commerce income and how this has provided for his family for many years    The guest asks Jim how to best test ASINs when it is difficult to source the items locally. Jim offers suggestions as well as emphasizes how important relationships are in this business!    Jim discusses the Proven Brand Bundle course and how he is seeing some really successful stories come out of using this method.    The guest asks Jim about being a new seller and being gated. Jim suggests the following categories for new sellers as these categories are not gated: sports and outdoor, kitchen, bath, household goods, arts and crafts, pet supplies (not food). After selling approximately 30-40 units, the gates will start to “fall open!” Jim also recommends the this course for selling books: provenamazoncourse.com/safebookprofits    Jim discusses being approved for categories vs brands. He also discusses First Sale Doctrine and shares a good Nike story! Jim also shares his confidence with Amazon selling for the upcoming years!    Jim discusses net profit (margin) and what that looks like for Amazon sellers (depending on where the seller is in their business)    Show note LINKS: My Silent Team Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!
