#957: Family excited to bring dad home in 2025 based on early Amazon success!
On today's new podcast episode I spend time with a ProvenAmazonCourse.com / coaching student who is loving her journey towards eventually going full-time with her husband into their Amazon selling and e-commerce business. They are well on their way and super excited! They have seven kids (most of whom help with the business) and he works full time as an electrician, but she has found about 10-15 hours per week to work the business and they are very encouraged by the results they are getting so far in their journey! They have a goal of eventually doing e-commerce together full-time as their primary income and buying some land to homestead while they grow their business together. They hope to achieve this in 2025. They live in a fairly rural area, so they do most of their sourcing online. They use a lot of the "above buy box" strategies as well which we discuss. We discuss the challenges in balancing the business with family life, her sourcing and pricing strategies, and her long-term business goals. At the end of today's episode, stick around for a discussion with Jimmy Smith about how he's found 1,000s of great ASINs! You're invited to a free webinar where he'll unpack the system that he uses called the "Evergreen Sourcing System" that has his team finding numerous great ASINs every day for his Amazon catalog!
