#459: The only truly turnkey Amazon seller model is this one. Agree?
Is there a truly turnkey model of selling on Amazon? I know there is because we've seen it happen for our students time and time again. It's frustrating though to watch day after day we see sellers crash and burn and them come (literally crying in many cases) into our community. Our coaching team sees a steady stream of students who got BURNED trying to launch a private label product on Amazon as their first adventure online - and eventually (after months of learning and investing) they failed miserably. We turn those sad stories into success stories here - you've heard it on episode after episode.

Answers: The farmer has $20 more than when he started. He made $10 on each of the two transactions. The pond was half full of lily pads on day 29 and then doubled to being completely full on day 30. Use the power of "doubling" to your benefit! It starts slow, but it becomes big very quickly!

Today we meet a student who knows what it means to work hard for a living. He's worked many jobs and started (and lost) several businesses, but he's thrilled to have found the stability, flexibility and scalability of having an Amazon business based on the ProvenAmazonCourse.com replens model. He's a 1 1/2 man show (his 9 year old homeschooled daughter helps him out), and he's more than replaced the income from his 90hr per week job!

#456: Pastor's wife sells $400K/yr while living a flexible lifestyle
Can you sell an item alongside 125 other sellers and still make a profit? Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who did just that and sold hundreds of units weekly! In fact she sold about $400K last year at healthy margins! She's also a JimCockrumCoaching.com coaching student who has been in full-time ministry for about 25 years with her husband and also homeschools their kids. Before she joined our community and began listening to our podcast, she sold only on eBay until Spring of 2020 when her yard sale sourcing strategies stopped being possible (because of covid). That's when she jumped into the Amazon strategies we teach in the PAC. She's a huge fan of coaching as well as investing in yourself.

#452: Using virtual assistant and OA to build a $500K+ Amazon business
Today's guest had almost no computer experience and no ecommerce experience before becoming a student of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. She's finding more profitable products than she can keep up with using our strategies! She's built a beautiful business and is on track to do between $500,000-$600,000 in sales this year with a small team. She works about 5-6 hours daily because she wants to, but her business is nearly fully automated. She sold nearly $350K at great margins her first full year. She shares all the details of her journey including how she finds products, how she eliminated risk almost entirely, what strategy she uses (she loves the Replens model taught in our course), and her amazing Virtual Assistant (VA) that she hired from our pool of trained VA's (see ProvenReplensVA.com).
