#401: Ways to get your Amazon business "unstuck" and bump up monthly sales results
This is an episode that both brand new sellers and experienced sellers alike should find very useful. With thousands of Amazon sellers listening to this show, as well as in our free facebook group and as coaching students, we've notice many trends. One of the trends we see a lot in our community is "stalled growth". For some sellers they stall at $5,000 per month in sales. Others stall at $100,000 per month in sales - or maybe you are stalled at $0! Regardless of where you are "stuck", this episode will help you get unstuck and start scaling. If you are unfortunate enough to think that hitting a certain level of success means "you've arrived", I have bad news for you - once you stop growing you start dying. It's true in life, relationships and business. Growth must be the goal. Let's talk about how to make that happen in your business starting today with some simple ideas that I think will challenge most listeners.

#400: Building a profitable amazon business is simple but not easy
I'm coming up on twenty years experience in using the Internet creatively to earn income online. I've seen dozens of business models. The one I'm most excited about for 2022 remains Amazon REPLENS. It’s not necessarily easy, because no business is easy! It's work! The nice thing about the model though is that it's simple and our system works. It scales. It’s incredibly low risk and it consistently leads to other great opportunities. Today I spend some time dispelling common myths about Amazon selling as we head into 2022. Some of the points I address you may have heard me mention in past episodes, but some are new as well. All of the topics you'll hear me address can be summed up as either potential stumbling blocks or common excuses that we've heard that have prevented sellers from succeeding with what we believe is clearly the simplest and most stable business model online - especially for “newbies”. I address things like, the learning curve of Amazon replens, startup costs, our 2022 outlook, popular Amazon selling advice that just wrong, how even people who don't like buying and shipping can do the models we teach and several other great topics for new and experienced sellers alike.
