#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!

#388: He turned $500 in $100,00 in sales on Amazon very quickly
Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student with a young family who also works full-time at his "day job" career. He was determined to see what he could do with just $500 invested into an Amazon business following our model in his spare time. He was quickly blown away by what he found in this model, so he used some of his profits to jump into our JimCockrumCoaching.com program. Bottom line, within 8 months while working full time at hs "real job" he'd sold $100,000 in his spare time, and he's expecting to hit $250,000 for his first calendar year - all using the original five hundred dollars and just rolling over his profits! Expected net/net margins for his first year are on track to be well over 20%.

#384: Young couple builds Amazon dream business and clears $100/hour their first year
Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who frustratingly experimented around with several "gig" type jobs and ecommerce opportunities before finding our podcast and community. He shares his journey of small wins and lessons along the way until they made a fateful decision. Along with his wife, our guest decided to jump with both feet into our community about a year ago and pursue the replens model that we teach in the PAC. The bottom line? A year later they did the math and sold about $200K of product and earned about $100/hr as a couple in their first full year after all expenses. Part of the magic of their approach is that they aren't afraid to look at higher priced replen products. They share how they find these items as well as why they don't do much FBA, instead they handle most of their own shipping. He also shares why he avoided the wildly popular (but nearly always disastrous) Private Label model of selling on Amazon as a new seller.

#383: From fulltime pastoral ministry to $600K Amazon business
Today's guests confess that they had zero previous experience in business before finding ecommerce, yet they've grown an incredible $600K business using the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and our coaching program. Until recently Mark and Amanda (our guests) were in full time pastoral ministry, and as they've transitioned into Amazon and ecommerce they are pleased to report that their business "is still our ministry". Because of the success of their business, they've been able to hire friends and family while living a flexible, "work from home" lifestyle. They also homeschool their two teenage sons. You'll love the transparency of this married couple who doesn't sugar coat the work it takes to build.

#382: From zero computer experience to successful Amazon seller
Today's guest, Vee Osborne is a vibrant, energetic Amazon success story that's sure to inspire you! She's selling about $1,400 per day on Amazon and is heading quickly towards $2,000 per day. She started out with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and then jumped into our JimCockrumCoaching.com program soon after. Get this - when she started out with us she had NO experience at all with computers! She's a serial entrepreneur who ran day spas previously, but she always had other people take care of the "computer stuff" for her. After she transitioned away from that industry she found this podcast and community and the rest is history! She sells cosmetics on Amazon (not her own, but common name brands). She shares in this episode how she decides which ones to buy. (Hint: She uses Keepa just like I talk about in episode #369). You'll love her infectious energy and excitement for the Amazon selling opportunity! Listener Tip: Sign up for alerts when new episodes are released!

#381: Coaching student at $20K per month while working 70+ hour weeks at his full time job
Today's guest had never bought or sold anything online up until about three months ago. He ramped up quickly though after finding our community (and avoiding some slick private label "guru's" who nearly had him fooled). He took our fast-start ProvenReplenTraining.com training about 3 months ago and things took off from there! In spite of having a young family and working 70+ hours per week, he's building an incredible business online in his "spare time" and is about to hit $20K for the most recent month as we recorded this episode. He's focusing in on the "replens" model of Amazon selling as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course (as are most of our recent 100s of success stories). He shares about his virtual assistant who helps him find replens as well as his newly hired worker who is helping automate his processes. We talk a bit about homeschooling, hiring and his first impressions of our business building warrior community.
