In today's episode we have all of the highlights of the prior week's shows including where to find the many resources mentioned! We covered episode #553 and #555.   Podcast #553 Retiring Soon and Building a Business For the Next Season with Amazon Replens We talk about the software program Replen Dashboard - developed by Jimmy Smith and Karl Jacobi. Inventory management system that helps sellers determine how many products to replenish at a given time.  Fear of spending on inventory. Jim offers a “Hebrew lesson” - the word ‘wisdom’ has an element of knowing your numbers.  Discussion of debt, borrowing, credit, using capital to grow, Dave Ramsey (The Tortoise and The Hare Book) and Rabbi Daniel Lapin.  Sellers actually make their money when  buying inventory Discussion of guest’s positive experience with Jim Cockrum Coaching Coach Leigha Modlin.  TheProvenConference.com has most up to date info re: conference. Looking to be a 3 day event, likely in July 2023.  Guest talks about her first Proven Amazon Conference experience. 3 day event with over 40 sessions - all speakers from our community!   Podcast #555 Ten Ways to Find Great REPLENS to sell on Amazon    Replen definition - a product you can sell over and over again on Amazon that can be easily sourced. Goal is to find underserved listings.  Tactical Arbitrage (TA) is another method we teach and is helpful in finding replens. OASimplified.com is the TA course that will be rolled into PAC down the line. Coaches Leigha and Jessica did this course. Wholesale buying as a replen strategy. ProvenWholesaleSourcing.com was developed by Rich Potter and is part of PAC. Uses a tool called Smart Scout. Good alternative to buy lists is the Proven Replens VA (PRV program). Jim’s team finds, vets, trains, tests and tweaks the skill sets of the VAs for one seller! Not intended for new sellers as sellers need to “learn the ropes” first.  Jim discusses a new “BOT” strategy as an inventory hunting tool. Jim will be rolling this out in 2023.   Show note LINKS: Smart Scout - SilentJim.com/SS for more info and a discount Get Tactical Arbitrage with a FREE trial: https://jimc.biz/TA Once you understand how to find replens, TA can be a powerful add-on to your business!

Over the past few months we've spent a few minutes per week with Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com. He's the favorite Amazon policy and legal expert in our community and you'll benefit greatly from his real world experience and insights.   The response has been fantastic as listeners have given us feedback about the "mini-segments" we've been releasing at the end of our Wednesday episodes. We decided to compile these mini-segments into one episode for you to enjoy all together in one place.   You'll hear him sum up topics such as: How to safely set up new branded bundles on Amazon" Do I need to have an attorney on retainer for small Amazon legal issues? What's get people suspended on Amazon? Is it a concern? 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? What should a seller do when I get an IP complaint? As a replens seller, can I sell on listings that feature a "Generic" brand on Amazon? How can I find out if I am on accident? Why is Amazon limiting storage for some FBA sellers on the front end of Q4? What can we do about it? What are the red flags I should look for with IP (intellectual property) issue as an Amazon seller?   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/9yoeleZ68Ew   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.

On today's episode I analyze who we CAN and CAN'T help with our Ecommerce training.   Having taught 1,000s of students over the years with our ProvenAmazonCourse.com training, we've noticed some obvious patterns.   We've come to the realization that there are some people typically CAN'T help. If you fall into any of the categories I share on today's episode, we probably have little business support we can offer you on your Amazon/Ecommerce journey. The list includes things like this:   Are you characterized by being a giver or a taker? Are you seeking to escape relationships and avoid others entirely? How many different potential business distractions are you pursuing right now?   Your answers to these questions could make it VERY difficult for you to find business success with the strategies we teach. On the other hand, certain answers to these questions will give you a MASSIVE advantage in Ecommerce (and any other business model as well).   Our latest sponsor!

All the podcast episodes https://silentjim.com/podcast #552 College Prof pursuing PhD while building a beautiful AZ Replen  Jim warns the listeners about selling closeout or return products because there is significant risk due to there being no chain of custody in the event of an IP complaint.  Jim discusses how permanent suspensions are so slim that it isn’t really worth worrying about but it is essential to keep your account in good standing.  Jim discusses many ways to search for products because each one yields different search results Jim discusses the definition of replens as well as criteria for finding good replens.  Jim discusses Keepa. Suggests listening to episode #369 which is a deep dive into Keepa.  Jim discusses OA Simplified course that is coming to PAC soon. OAS.com.  Jim dives into some business principles he believes - “The degree to which you make your business about relationships is the degree to which you are going to have success.” and “Is it even possible to run a business without improving the lives of others?” The blending of ministry and business. Jim discusses the benefits of hiring someone local to help pack and ship vs hiring a prep center. Jim mentions website: prepcenternetwork.com #550 Used Only $200 to start & rolled it into paying off 10's of thousands  Jim talks about having someone else source your products as this is one of the first tasks that can be delegated in the listener’s business. It can be accomplished by either hiring a VA or training a VA yourself.  Jim says the most powerful lever that a seller can bring into their business is a VA for about $4/hour.  Jim mentions OA Simplified - it is its own website and course but will be rolled into the PAC at the start of 2023.  Jim talks with the guest about getting a plan in place going into the new year and how to scale his business Guest shares transparently about his insecurity in comparing himself to others. Jim shares how George Bush Jr. says, “If I’m the smartest one in the room, I’m in the wrong room.” Business owners need humility  Surround yourself with others who are working to accomplish the same or even bigger goals.

We are excited about all the new seller success stories we are seeing lately in our provenamazoncourse.com community, and we've noticed a very helpful "tip" that's been mentioned in our free Facebook group a few times recently that's really been helping these sellers gain nice momentum in finding profitable REPLENS inventory!   The tip explains why you should probably be IGNORING the Amazon "buy box" instead of obsessing over it when making inventory buying decisions!   Today I share how you can safely IGNORE the buy box and find more winning REPLENS to sell on Amazon!   Today's limited time sponsored ad: A Buy 1 Get 1 Christmas Special on our number one course!

Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is building an amazing business as she nears retirement for her and her husband. Her husband is an accountant by trade, and he says their numbers are beautiful! She's worked as a dental hygienist as her career, but as of a few months ago (after attending our conference), she had to leave that career unexpectedly - far sooner than she was expecting to as she explains on the episode today. She's now full-time into her Amazon REPLENS business and says the prospects for 2023 look very bright!   We spend time talking about prep centers, her fantastic experience with our coaching team (link at SilentJim.com), what sort of inventory she sells and how she sources it (both retail on online sourcing) and many other helpful subjects that sellers of all experience levels will benefit from.   Our latest sponsor!

Today we meet yet another provenamazoncourse.com student who is getting tremendous results a few months into his Amazon REPLENS journey. He's had prior experience using "treasure hunt" models of searching for discounts and closeouts products he can flip online, but he calls the new strategy he's found with us, "The easiest model I've ever tried."   He's a part-time college professor at a Christian college and has plans to soon own a completely mobile business that will allow him to go anywhere in the world as he feels lead by God to go - and his business is well on its way to making all that possible!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/tTTyeIFXvMY   Our latest sponsor!

Today I spend a few minutes diving into these questions: Is success on Amazon Random? Are there any factors that distinguish those who succeed from those who fail in our Amazon seller community? What other factors are involved in determining who wins and who loses in the Amazon selling game?   If you are considering launching a business from home online, I invite you to answer the questions presented in this episode as honestly as you can.   I'd love to hear from you if you have a different take than I do on this topic!   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: How secure should we feel with Amazon's new friendly 72 hour warning prior to seller suspensions? Does this mean we can take bigger risks?   Show note LINKS:   My Silent Team Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!
