Whether you are experienced or brand new to the concept of selling on Amazon, today I go through the most common decision points involved in helping our students make a good decision. I discuss common issues of concern among our students such as: is Amazon saturated? What's the future look like for Amazon sellers and ecommerce? Can a virtual assistant really do most of the work for me? Do I need a coach? What are the start up costs? How big is the learning curve? Why have you been so bullish on the Replens model for so long? What if my passion is elsewhere?   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?   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/B3SmNF0qFp4   Show notes LINKS:   "Buy Low and Sell High" episode 21 at https://silentjim.com/podcast   Jeff Schick's website JeffSchick.com   My Silent Team Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

Today's guest is a yet another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has ramped up very quickly in his Amazon selling adventure. He and his wife work about 15 hours per week and are having success with both online and retail sourcing. They've been selling on Amazon for less than a year, but they are ramping up beautifully! He shares how they found 100 REPLENS in their first month at a local Walmart, as well as how they are now using online sourcing strategies so effectively that they are "running out of cash to buy more inventory" - they say, "there are so many winning REPLENS to be found!" Their goal for 2023 is to average 100K in sales per month at 20% NET- and they are well on their way!

Today we meet a coaching student who only recently joined our program after realizing she'd been spinning her wheels listening to others offering her helpful, yet incomplete Amazon selling strategies for a couple years. She works a full-time job she likes, but she hopes to make her ecommerce business her sole source of income eventually. It's a realistic goal based on her trajectory. Her story is a bit of a cautionary tale. Even before she found our community, she was working in the best Amazon seller model for her skillset (Replens), but she was making a series of classic mistakes including: not tracking her numbers (profit/loss), buying too many of her test products, and trusting "buy lists" as her source for good inventory. We talk it all over and share the NEW PATH she's on including joining our coaching and hiring a ProvenReplensVA.com VA to ramp up her great REPLENS inventory list. She's never been more optimistic about the future of her online business.

Today's episode is an interview with a great family who is working hard to build the business of their dreams. They have been following the ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS training for the past three months (and they are now coaching students too) and they've built something truly special with a very bright future ahead! They are finding local profitable products consistently (currently doing retail store sourcing only), but have plans to expand into "OA" (online arbitrage or online sourcing). Their ultimate goal is to get dad home and build a family legacy that their kids can benefit from long-term.

On today's show I teach you literally EVERYTHING you need to know about Dropshipping, Private Label and Liquidations if you are new to Amazon! I'm not exaggerating - I cover it ALL! It's not a hard task to cover it all actually, because if you are NEW to Amazon selling, you shouldn't be doing ANY of those things and I'll tell you why! This is a great episode to share with someone who is just getting started or who is in "research" mode considering starting up as an Amazon seller. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Attorney Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What should a seller do when I get an IP complaint?

Are you characterized by POSITIVITY or NEGATIVITY? Is this something you think you can control? Did you realize that the answers to those questions have a VERY significant impact on your long term prospects for success in business? There's no such thing as a harmless post or conversation as a business leader. There's no such thing as a great leader who always has bad news to share. As you may recall I've done a couple other episodes now about "e-commerce leadership" in recent weeks, and this is a continuation of those discussions. Success in ANY business means working on your leadership skills, so I'm putting my 20 years of ecommerce leadership experience to use and recording some observations. I've received a LOT of great feedback about the three episodes I've recorded on this topic so far, so I dove a bit deeper today on a topic that I believe is of vital importance as you grow your business and leadership skills in the ecommerce arena. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What are the odds of a permanent suspension if I sell on Amazon using the REPLENS strategies or other strategies taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course?
