#396: A journey from Amazon basic strategies into $50K/month private label success
Today's episode is the story of a journey from "Amazon basic selling" into "Private Label". If you didn't realize it, 95% of the YouTube "gurus" talking about Amazon selling are convincing new sellers to jump straight into building their own private label brand. This is taught by most experts as, "the ONLY way to go". The truth they don’t tell you though is that an estimated 90% or more of those "PL goldrush seekers" never make a dime - they only lose big. To help avoid the heartbreak and loss, we go against the grain and teach a methodical approach to Amazon selling success. Our approach involves putting money in the bank with lower risk, fast reward models that build a profitable foundation for you BEFORE you venture into the PL arena. Today's guest is a JimCockrumCoaching.com student who talks about his gradual journey into PL after making money while learning the basics first from out team. He's built a $40-50K per month PL income stream (20% margins) and he's looking to expand off of Amazon as well.

#392: Son hires mom and grows a seven figure Amazon business
Today's guests have quickly built an incredible seven figures+ business out of a spare bedroom. Early in their Amazon journey they sold a single private label product that had a degree of success, but they were suddenly forced to pivot away from their single product when covid killed the sales. They knew they needed a more stable and sustainable approach to achieve their bigger goals. They jumped into the replens model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course at this point and things took off fast! Topics discussed with this mom/son team include; finding new replens using only free apps and keepa, how they test new products with minimal risk, a review of their recent trip to Arizona to the ReplenWholesaleWorkshop.com training with Rich Potter as they begin to expand into wholesale replen sourcing, the dynamics of having a family business, how they found local "prep help" just a few days ago (their first workers), and plenty of additional tips and advice for experienced sellers and newbies alike! They hope to hit $1.5million in sales for 2021!

#390: Started with $1500 early this year. Just had an $80K+ month on Amazon
Today's guest is building an Amazon business that allows him to be home with his wife and son while living a flexible schedule that includes plenty of travel. He has been earning income online in different creative ways since 1995, but he calls the strategy taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course the only system he's seen that's like "shooting fish in a barrel". After attending our conference in June a couple months ago (TheProvenConference.com) he implemented some of what he learned there and his business has really taken off as a result. He shares the details of how he finds all the great products he's selling as well as the tool he uses. He sold only about $6.5K in July this year and is expecting $90K in August just a month later at over 20% net margin. He started with only $1500 and has rolled his profits over into more inventory in order to grow. There are plenty of practical tips and loads of encouragement in this episode!
