#446: Inflation presents an opportunity for the right kinds of Amazon sellers
Let's imagine and discuss the perfect "inflation proof" business model. A model that is flexible enough and stable enough to weather the storm of economic instability.

#445: Single mom with multiple income streams of online income including Amazon
Today's guest is a true multiple income stream warrior, but she says her foundation is the same Amazon replens model that we've taught to so many of our students. Just like you've heard on dozens of recent episodes of this podcast, the strategies of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course simply work and today's guest is more proof! Our guest today started with ZERO working capital as a single mom, so she had to get creative in order to ramp up her business.

#444: Imagine a store that only sells high profit items -no "loss leaders" needed
Do you want yet another reason to love the Amazon Replens model that is creating the dozens of recent success stories that you've been hearing on this podcast? The ProvenAmazonCourse.com is cranking out successful Amazon seller stories faster than any other model you've ever seen for one reason - it works and we have the formula dialed in! Consider the concept of "loss leaders" and "dead inventory". Most stores or online sellers have to deploy "loss leaders" to get customers into the stores, or they worry about overbuying bad inventory and being stuck with it. Neither are true for Replens sellers! In this "mini-episode" I share a valuable lesson about the inventory selection process called "replens" that takes so much risk out of the equation!

#440: Get all the benefits of dropshipping on Amazon without any of the risks
We are NOT fans of dropshipping models in this community for very good reason. For every success story you'll hear, you'll hear 100 disaster stories. I'm convinced that the ONLY people who are truly excited about the model (at scale) are those who sell a course about it. Today I discuss what dropshipping is, the only RIGHT way to do it, and perhaps best of all, a model that we are proving over and over again every day (with 100s of recent success stories from students) is far superior to dropshipping because it has ALL of the benefits, with none of the risks. Our model is also scalable, newbie friendly, sellable as an asset and can be entirely hand-free! Let us know what you think by joining our free Facebook group and sharing your feedback!
