#428: With 2022 upon us, what is the state of Amazon seller opportunities?

What does the future hold for Amazon Replens sellers? This is an opportunity that is producing such an incredible stream of success stories, but where is it heading in 2022? Is it saturated or expanding? Are profitable replens easier to find or harder? Is the opportunity fading or growing? Is Amazon getting harder to work with? Last month we hosted a virtual event aimed at helping our Ecommerce seller community prepare for the changes, challenges and opportunities that we see coming at us in 2022. One of the fantastic presentations was by our resident Replens expert (the guy who crafted the Replens training found in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course), Jimmy Smith. His presentation was on the state of the replens opportunity.   He did such a great job that we decided to make use the audio as a podcast episode. He addresses all the above questions and some new strategies with a great overview of how simple and powerful (and low risk) this model truly is.  Also, here's your chance to grab ALL of the other presentations along with Jimmy's from this great event.

#427: Covid changed his industry but he quickly built a $340K Amazon business

Today's guest is another JimCockrumCoaching.com student who is thriving. He's a drummer who spent a couple decades in t-shirt merchandising in the Christian music industry. Covid slowed down the entire music industry as it did for so many business models, so he and his wife decided to pivot into ecommerce after a friend of his told him about THIS podcast. He slowly began applying the things he was learning from this show and the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and he soon had a $4K sales in his first month. He finished his first full year with a part time effort selling $342K at approx 17% on his best month where he sold just under $40K at great margins.  He's aiming for a million in sales 2022. Now as his t-shirt business slows during the off season, he focuses more time on his Amazon business. He now has great steady income from both businesses and a flexible schedule.

#426: Single mom starts with $500 and builds financial independence on Amazon

Today we meet a single mom of adult children who tried several different business ideas online before finding our community and finding success. She tried building a blog and it didn't get much traction so she tried launching her own brand of sugar scrubs on Amazon based on pricey coaching she fell for after she heard about it on youtube. As you've heard so many times before, selling your brand as a new seller on Amazon almost never works out and it didn't work out for our guest either. When she finally found this podcast and the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training, things took a turn even though she was "starting over" with less than $500 to put towards her business. She now has a profitable business that pays her bills and allows her the flexibility to travel when needed and help out her adult children. The flexibility of the Amazon "replens" model always makes for a great story!   Today's guest: Renee Pfeil   Watch on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/kAssxFXpN04   Show note LINKS: Proven Amazon Course - https://ProvenAmazonCourse.com - Are you ready to be successful selling on Amazon?

#425: Where are you on the Amazon seller pyramid?

There's a proven path that Amazon sellers follow in our community and we are proud to have originated the concept. It's been used by hundreds of our students, and I think you'll find it clarifying and useful. We call it the Amazon seller pyramid. The concept originated with a great leader in our community - Ryan Reger. The way it works is, the lower risk, easier "barrier to entry" models of selling on Amazon make up the base of the pyramid, and the more advanced, slightly riskier (and higher reward) models go at the top. Obviously- we STRONGLY encourage all new sellers to start at the base! Let's talk about it!

#424: I just interviewed two Amazon skeptics from our Facebook group

Do you have some tough questions about selling on Amazon? Are you skeptical about the opportunity to build a business on the Amazon platform? Many people have the same concerns you do, so you aren't alone. Recently, in a discussion inside our free Facebook group I asked for some "skeptics" to step forward. I wanted to have a conversation with them about their concerns, the rumors they'd heard and the tough questions that were keeping them from moving forward in launching a business as an Amazon seller. We recorded the conversation for you- and that is the gist of this episode! They DIDN'T HOLD BACK! They asked about dropshipping and "done for you" models, saturation concerns, who are the customers who pay more than retail when shopping on Amazon, the confusing amazon rules, the limitations of category approval, why we don't let students start with private label selling, the time requirements to learn and launch the business and other hot topic issues that are a concern for many new Amazon sellers. I think you'll enjoy our chat as I answered with transparency and plenty of facts and data to back up my responses.   Today's guests: Pam Wyant & Thelma    Watch our interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/p5D8pQHZTuI   Check out our sponsor: I Love Supplies. com There are so many advantages using these high quality poly bags - non static, self closing AND size printed on each bag, just to name a few.

#423: Homeschool family brings dad home with their Amazon business

Today we meet a couple of JimCockrumCoaching.com students who started out as ProvenAmazonCourse students a couple of years ago. They used only a couple hundred dollar to start their business! They are building an amazing business in spite of some rough struggles along the way. They are ending 2021 with about $250K in sales at a 20% net margin, and they are able to homeschool their 6 kids and "do life together" as a result. They aren't where they want to be in their business just yet, but they are on a great trajectory, and you'll be inspired and encouraged by their story today!

#421: Professional educator faced a big pay cut with covid, so he started a $250/hr Amazon business

Today's guest Tom is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is only a few months into his Amazon selling journey, but it's going great! The net income he's seeing is about $250/hour in profit! He has advanced degrees in education and his career is helping families who have special needs kids who are on the spectrum. Covid hit his income hard though, so he was forced to go out "on his own" as an educator and he needed more income.   Within just a few months he's about to have his first $10K sales month. We enjoyed hearing from Tom because he isn't one of our typical "big hitter" success stories that are so common on this program. He's a very part-time seller with only a little experience, yet he's building something beautiful. He hopes to blend his Amazon business with his educator business at some point by creating opportunities for some of his special needs students to work in his business with him doing some of the prepping and sourcing. He currently works about 10 hours per month and has found about 65 profitable products using our Amazon "replens" strategies.   Today's guest, Tom Bishop   Watch this interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gQtO5FdivkY   Check out this episode sponsor - Payoneer.com.

#419: Former Children's pastor builds a multiple five figure Amazon biz and became a coach on our team

Today's guest is a former coaching student who became a coach with us about a year ago. She's one of the most organized and disciplined business builders among our leadership team! Her strategy is to have a set plan for every day of the week and she really sticks to it. She's building an amazing multiple-five-figure business that's far more than replaced the income she had in her previous position. Her Amazon business even helped sustain her family as her husband (a dentist) was furloughed for much of 2020 because of covid. She's of course using the Amazon seller strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and her business is growing steadily. Today we discuss topics including; her routine, how she finds great inventory, how her husband works with her part-time, how she's grown her small team that works in her house, how she uses eBay and Facebook Marketplace to enhance and diversify her income, how she celebrates small victories very intentionally, her plans to build a brand with her bundles, and much more!
