#812: Lessons and insights about multiple streams of online income from a 24 year veteran
For over 20 years, the only income my family and I have had is from multiple online ventures. I've learned many valuable lessons about growing online streams of revenue over this time and on today's episode I break down the most important elements of the journey. I explain why we start the vast majority of our new students with Amazon selling. I also discuss the three categories of opportunity that we see online (all business ideas online fit into one of these three). If you can BUILD SYSTEMS (automate processes) and PURSUE RELATIONSHIPS (surround yourself with others on a similar journey) you can also build great income streams online.

#810: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. Today's guest only learned of Amazon REPLENS just a few short months ago. She's a busy mom working full-time and pursuing a business degree but she's managed to just have a very healthy five figure month on Amazon using the strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. We covered episode #775 - Busy mom pursuing a college degree while also building a beautiful Amazon business. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast Highlights include: Jim gives some introductory information: www.theprovenconference.com in order to register for the annual conference - May 23-25, 2024 in Orlando, FL! Book a free call with Jim's team regarding coaching (every coach has their own successful Amazon business!) www.silentjim.com/bookacall The guest details her journey in the e-commerce world which started with Mercari and Poshmark before she found Amazon. She discusses ASD in Las Vega. Now that it's the beginning of 2024, she is re-evaluating how to keep the momentum going and how to continue to grow! The guest shares with Jim that during December, her sourcing was about 40% wholesale and 60% RA/OA. Jim encourages her to keep the wholesale going since she has already learned a lot (typically we do not recommend new sellers start with wholesale). But Jim REALLY encourages the guest to focus on the low hanging fruit while she is trying to ramp up and to do more RA and OA! Jim recommends Podcast #369 for all things Keepa! The guest mentions Seller Amp, which estimates sales per month (from Keepa data). Jim reminds the listeners to not get emotionally attached to any ASINs! The guest had an incredibly busy Q4 with merchant fulfilling her sales! Jim then asks the guest what her process is for finding winning ASINs! The guest shares that she uses reverse sourcing and Jim affirms that this is an acceptable method to find test worthy ASINs The guest shares how she found out that her boyfriend's boss sells on Amazon as well. She was excited to know someone so close who is doing the same thing! Reminder that you can use the My Silent Team Facebook page to find other sellers located close to where you live! - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam/posts/4243062552476489/ The guest asks for Jim's favorite book recommendations (aside from the Bible!): Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin. (The Rabbi is going to be the keynote speaker at The Proven Conference May 23-25, 2024!) The Blessed Life and Beyond Blessed by Pastor Robert Morris - which have to do with stewardship. Entreleadership by Dave Ramsey The guest asks Jim about inventory management and how best to go about handling all the moving pieces! Jim recommends Podcast #754 with Khang (who is coming out with new software- www.silentjim.com/system). Replen Dashboard is another good option (Jimmy Smith). Sponsored by Buy or Sell on Amazon If you are well positioned to take advantage of buying an established Amazon account at the start of your Amazon journey, it can make sense to do so! Benefits include potentially far faster payouts, fewer category or storage restrictions, a better seller rating on the platform and an established account health reputation with Amazon - just to name a few.

#809: Avoid these common mistakes and your odds of success on Amazon soars
In a recent popular facebook post we discussed the most common ways we see especially new sellers on Amazon FAIL. Many mistakes are common among even the most experienced sellers as well however. The Facebook post took on a bit of a life of its own with some great participation from the community. The bottom line is this -if you avoid these common "traps" your odds of building a great business goes WAY up as you've heard from 100s of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students on other episodes of our show!

#808: Amazon sellers who are new or struggling should do this...
We've identified 10 reasons why especially new Amazon sellers (or sellers who are struggling) on Amazon should find as many ASINs (new products) to test as possible and they should do it as soon as possible in order to make their odds of success as great as possible. While this may seem obvious, we've observed that many sellers try to find a handful of magic products that will boost them into the business they desire. Rarely is that what happens however. On today's episode, we dive into the reasons you should find numerous products to test as well as some strategies for doing exactly that. Here are 10 Reasons you should build a strong foundation as quickly as possible 1. Hard to find averages when going ASIN by ASIN Book of biz leads to Averages leads to predictability. Increasing profits and decreasing expenses is much more impactful on a book of business than on a few ASINs. 2. Diversity A solid foundation allows for branching out while maintaining revenues. There are so many different categories and subs that we will never run out of new areas to source in. 3. IPI Score A foundational book of business helps you understand the metrics that make up the IPI Score Helps keep level inventory numbers. 4. Anything can happen to any ASIN When you have only a few ASINs, anything that happens to any ASIN can really hurt. When there are more ASINs, the overall impact is smaller. 5 Keeps risk low Spreading your risk over many different listings can make the risk of losing all much lower and the chances of profiting overall much higher. 6. Easier to outsource Putting together a foundational book of business makes it much easier to compile standard operating procedures and best practices. When you outsource, it is much easier to hand that off. 7. Economies of Scale AKA Critical Mass Helps with inbound transportation, purchasing supplies, paying contractors, justifying expenses and subscriptions 8. Account Health Rating New sellers all start with a score of 200 and anything less than 200 is Any policy adherence issues deduct points from your score. Increase score by 4 points for every 200 successful sales in a rolling 180-day period. Riskiest time is when trying to build that first 200 sales so get it done as quickly as possible. 9. Lifting of restrictions How many stories have we heard about sellers who had things ungated and they didn't even know? They were just open one day. This is what happens when you focus on working with what you have available to you. 10. Make more money! Isn't this why we're all here? Let's make some car payments, some house payments Let's bring moms and dads home! Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What is "section three" and why was it such a big deal a few months ago? What have we learned?

#806: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students
Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode. Here are several summary answers recorded for you: Jim gives what he calls an "infomercial" to launch this Facebook live! The My Silent Team Facebook group now has 75,000 members strong! Jim has about 60 coaches on his team, all of whom have their own robust Amazon businesses! Jim has earned a living from e-commerce alone for over 20 years and he loves what he does! Jim introduces Nathan Bailey, who has worked with him for 20 years now (primarily in the coaching department)! "The mission is bigger than the man" in this community and we really want everyone to succeed! Jim shares the candlelight vs cake mentality which is a poverty vs abundance mindset that we really emphasize in this community! Jim and Nathan explain the "inch deep, mile wide" approach that we want new sellers to follow when starting. Podcast episode 554 talks about the "selling above the buy box" strategy. Jim outlines 3 red flags to be on the lookout for when reading Keepa: If listed as a generic brand - do not list on it!! (means it is likely mis-branded) Jim discusses pricing requests that Amazon sometimes makes and how to handle those The guest asks Jim about product safety certificates and how he should go about handling the situation. Jim recommends listening to Podcast episode 754 to hear about the possibilities with the Replens model. Coach Nathan Bailey answers the guest's questions about trademarks and also shares his business which can help further with these questions - https://humnbird.com For more experienced sellers, Jim outlines some additional ways to make an online income including consulting work - https://provenproductpartnering.com for more info. Also an Amazon influencer program - https://provenAZinfluencer.com for more info. The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) also has over 30 strategies for making money on Amazon! Jim reminds the listeners of our live event https://theprovenconference.com, which is coming May 2024. It will have over 40 break out sessions as well as many new strategies for Amazon selling! Jim explains in detail what "Replens" means and how it is the lowest hanging fruit opportunity to make money on Amazon! It is low risk, has the lowest price point for entry and the highest odds of success. It is essentially finding the underserved or "test worthy" ASINs on Amazon and "replenishing" the products as they sell. This is just one of many ways to make money on Amazon but it's the best place for new sellers to start! Jim also highly recommends new sellers listen to the following Podcasts - Episodes 369 - Keepa; 554-555 - how to find good products to test; 612 - the 3 step test; 754 - an incredible scaling of a Replens business at https://silentjim.com/podcast Show note LINKS: My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam Join 74,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

#802: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. In this segment we discuss both the upcoming Proven Conference and our Lego selling training program. We also include the benefits of selling toys online. Greg spoke at the 2023 virtual conference and will be speaking live at the May 23-25, 2024 Proven Amazon Conference in Orlando! 2011-2012 started Greg's e-commerce journey when he needed to get money together for a house down payment! The 2014 Frozen movie really ramped up his eBay business before he then transitioned to selling those items on Amazon. And the rest is history! Jim talks about how there are so many ways to make money online but focuses specifically on Lego sales with this guest! They also discuss the new course called provenbrickinvesting.com! This course is geared for new sellers who have never sold Legos before - focusing on the terminology used, patterns or themes to look for, life cycles and retiring sets, where to buy them, how to store them, etc. "Dollar density" is a phrase that is used to describe the approach the guest takes The guest outlines what this new course is going to look like!: Session 1 - introduction and general concepts Session 2 - discussion of the real meat and potatoes of the program/how it works/how to get ungated, etc. Session 3 - things you may not think about/technical discussion/how to store them, etc The guest also discusses "store exclusives" - which provides another level of scarcity for the supply and demand of the sets. Jim talks about how this is really the 1st course they've done that uses this approach of: "buy strategically, hold and then sell." Jim is really excited about the addition of another income stream available to his community! Jim asks the guest how he handles his "duds" - eBay and Walmart.com are alternatives the guest uses if/as needed Jim discusses how there will also be a Facebook community for the sellers who take this course and also addresses international sellers and if this Lego course is doable for them - which it absolutely is! Jim and the guest also discuss getting/being ungated in Legos.

#801: Millions of "irrational" shoppers on Amazon represent huge opportunity
In my hometown and in many other places as well there's an item which is sold by the hundreds or more every day for several dollars each, yet strangely…. ANYONE can get the exact same item in any quantity they'd like packaged the exact same way FOR FREE just a couple hundred yards away. Does that make any sense at all to you? It's true. I'll tell you exactly where it's happening on today's new podcast. This lesson will help you understand one of the under-used Amazon selling strategies we teach and use. It's true… Every day millions of shoppers on Amazon pay way more than they have to for the items they want. Until you understand the mind of the Amazon shoppers and how grateful they are for CONVENIENCE, you will be overlooking millions of potentially profitable listings that you could sell against - it's one of the strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course!

#799: The mistakes you'll likely make "self-educating" as an Amazon seller
While we really love to see business building warriors diving head first into self education, when it comes to selling on Amazon there are several very common mistakes you're likely to make if you try to go it alone and learn it all yourself. On today's episode I cover the top mistakes sellers make in regards to going too big too fast, thinking too small or creating a hamster wheel business model, or simply pursuing ideas that cause you to ultimately lose in the end in spite of the hype. We talk about dropshipping, selling liquidations on Amazon, scanning barcodes and selling books as well as the hot trend of "done for you" models and using "overhyped tools"! There's something for all Amazon sellers in this episode.

#798: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students
Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode. Highlights collected by the team: Jim gives an overview of the community and why we recommend new sellers start with the Replens Model, which has a "low, low high" theme - low investment required, low learning curve and high odds of success! Jim also discusses the www.provenAZinfluencer.com program and how our community is getting excited about this newer program! Jim discusses how there are discounts available for PAC and coaching students Listeners can also email support for any questions or concerns: [email protected] Jim talks about how to use the MST Facebook page to find other sellers who are located close to you! He also highly recommends the Kick Start boot camp for those who have PAC as a way to jump start your business, meet other new sellers and create community with them! The Kick Start program is only $40 for 4 group coaching sessions - www.silentjim.com/kickstart.com and also has a private Facebook group so participants can connect! The Proven Conference is another great way to meet people and develop relationships that are so crucial to this business! www.theprovenconference.com Conference will be May 23-25, 2024 in Orlando! Jim talks about how important relationships are in this business and how it can be very lonely without them! The guest recommends a book called Fire Yourself First by Jeff Russell. Jim also recommends Business Secrets from the Bible by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who will be the keynote speaker at this year's Proven Amazon Conference! As far as a recession goes, Jim's advice is to not participate!! In May at the Proven Amazon Conference, Coaches Brian and Robin Joy are doing a workshop called 100 ASINs. They teach the 3 step check, 4 week test, to build a 5 figure business in 6 months if you are consistent! www.provenamazoncourse.com/100 Jim has suggestions and a word of warning for a newer seller in terms of utilizing a VA. Jim and Coach Robin Joy also give some guidelines for listing bundles: do not set up new listings if you are a newer seller - too many risks involved. www.provenbrandedbundles.com for a specific course on bundles and how to do it correctly! New sellers often ask how to find profitable products but rather the question should be how to find "test worthy ASINs" or "underserved shelf space at Amazon!!" Jim has posted many examples on the My Silent Team Facebook page demonstrating exactly how this works! Jim recommends listeners go to Podcast #554 for an in depth discussion on this topic and Podcast #369 is a thorough discussion on Keepa! The guest mentions the 3 step check that Robin Joy teaches in order to determine "the worst case scenario." (more info about this in Podcast #612). Jim talks about the pink line on the Keepa chart in making this decision Show note LINKS: My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

#797: What are the greatest threats you face as an e-commerce and Amazon business builder?
Not all of our ProvenAmazonCourse.com students go on to build beautiful businesses. While we are quite proud of the fact that THOUSANDS of sellers point to our coaching and content as having helped them build something special, and we are also proud to mention that we've interviewed hundreds of them on our podcast- the truth is, it doesn't always work out! While there are endless reasons why any business can ultimately fail, there's a common theme we've noticed among Amazon and e-commerce warriors who don't quite make it. I'd venture to guess that just about anyone who has "taken a shot at it" and come up short likely faced one or more of the threats we'll talk through on today's episode and failed to overcome it. It's good to be informed and avoid these common threats to your success!

#796: A simple habit that can revolutionize any business - we've seen it countless times
Do you journal? It's a fantastic predictor of future success.

On today's all new podcast episode we interview a couple who has been in our community as students of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com for about six years.

#794: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. We covered episode #763 From zero e-commerce experience to a multiple five figure biz in a few months. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast This podcast features 53 year old twins Jerry and John, who have worked together for over 30 years! Jerry details how they found Jim Cockrum and what drew them to this community! John shares how they toyed with the idea of joining a "done for you program" but ended up not going that route - thankfully! Jim reiterates how so many programs (about 98%) are scams and a quick way to lose money. Jim recommends a "litmus test" before joining any program and that starts with finding their community and hanging out with them for a while. The guests share how they are doing both RA (retail arbitrage) and OA (online arbitrage). Jim talks about the "lightbulb moment" that happens when it clicks for new sellers. Jim mentions Podcast #744 The guests share how when they 1st started. They also discuss how more brands became ungated for them when they reached about $7000 in sales. The guests talk about how they primarily do FBA now that they have proof of concept that this strategy works! Jim and the guests talk about the analogy with sports when it comes to Amazon selling The guest shares how he was skeptical going into his 1st conference because he is a "connoisseur of good leadership" Jim says that "leaders produce leaders!" and that leadership is a topic that he is very passionate about! The guest shares, as a new seller, he feels that finding test worthy ASINs is the #1 priority and Jim wholeheartedly agrees! Repricers are discussed as well Jim talks with the guests what to expect as their business grows! He recommends looking into branded bundles . Jim reminds everyone that a rising tide raises all ships! The guests ask Jim how he recommends increasing their sales to $100-$200k: Jim shares a Dave Ramsey principle about small businesses: The 1st person you hire should be someone who goes out and kills something and brings it back into the cave…" The guests share their thankfulness for Jim, his community and all the available help. Jim shares how he views his work as a ministry and how he loves what he does! Jim says how he doesn't want followers but instead success stories coming out of this community!

Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student interview is with a guy who blasted past six figures in total sales pretty fast and you'll love hearing his inspirational story! He's following the REPLENS model and is really doing well with the "above buy box" method as you'll soon hear. As a matter of fact he recently sold 20 units in a single day of a product that was priced well above all the other sellers who were fighting over the "buy box" using the strategy that we teach in the PAC. He tells all about this strategies and how's he's gone form "clueless newbie" to Amazon selling success story in such a short time.

#791: The seven friends you'll need to succeed in e-commerce and on Amazon
After having coached thousands of students over 20 years with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com and our coaching program, we've noticed many patterns among those who go on to build sustained success and those who struggle or never make it at all. One of the biggest keys that ensures you'll go far and do quite well is an often disregarded, yet highly relevant factor that is so vital it's worth reminding our students about repeatedly. RELATIONSHIPS! There are actually seven key relationships we've identified that our most successful students seem to all have top of mind. Likewise, it seems struggling entrepreneurs seem to consistently have one or more of these key relationships out of alignment or out of focus. If you want to maximize your e-commerce and Amazon business, ideally you'll have all these relationships in a healthy state: community (associates), mentor(s), an apprentice, a coach, suppliers, team and family.

#790: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students
Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode. Jim shares how the team has coached over 10,000 students and there are so many success stories pinned at the top of the My Silent Team Facebook page! Jim discusses how we start practically all new sellers with the Replens Model - which basically means we are filling the underserved shelf space at Amazon. Jim likes to use the phrases "test worthy listings" or sell at break even (worst case scenario). Jim has posted MANY examples. A guest shares how she is building her business but is discouraged with her profits so she asks Jim how she can improve her numbers. Picking losers is a great way to pick winners!" - it's a learning process! Robin Joy discusses the Kick Start Bootcamp, which is 4 group coaching sessions for sellers who have purchased The Proven Amazon Course (PAC) to help them get up and running The listener asks Jim if the "new selection recommendation list" (a list of ASINs that Amazon provides) is a good idea to use? Jim explains how there are "good ways" and "bad ways" to use these lists as well as leads lists/buy lists. The guest has questions about shipments going to multiple fulfillment centers (FC), which Coach Robin Joy answers. Jim also answers the guest's questions about hiring a VA, Jim recommends listening to Podcast #714 for a more thorough discussion!: "Very practical lesson learned after working with numerous overseas virtual assistants who help run my business." Jim, head of Coaching Matt Thompson and Coach Jim is so excited about 2024 and shares several new and upcoming things that everyone can look forward to! Matt Thompson and Robin Joy discuss the pros and cons of The 100 ASIN challenge vs coaching in response to a guest's question. The guest asks Jim about an issue he is having when he sends his inventory into FBA. He mentions how the "fear points" that sellers have are often new opportunities to learn from! Coach Matt shares the following mantra when working with replens: "Some will, most won't, next…" Jim answers a listener's question, "I'm new, what do I do here?" Watch the following modules in the PAC: 1) Amazon 2) The Replens Course 3) Advanced Keepa training.

#789: Are you getting your share of the highest margin sales on Amazon? Let's talk about "above buy box" strategies
For a few years now we've had a strategy we've loved sharing with our ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students that interestingly seems to be more easily grasped by our students who have LESS Amazon selling experience. Experienced sellers seem to struggle with this "above the buy box" concept because it's so simple that it goes over their heads quite often as they attempt to over complicate it! A bit of background: Did you know that every day on Amazon millions of shoppers are NOT looking for the lowest price on any given product, but they are looking for the FASTEST DELIVERY! Once you understand that Amazon has nearly 200 warehouses around the U.S. it starts to make sense that there's no way these various warehouses can meet the speed demands of the millions of shoppers without help. Understanding these factors means there's a simple, massive opportunity right under your nose that you're almost certainly ignoring unless you've heard our "above the buy box" strategy explained. Today's episode breaks it down for you! At the end of this episode you'll hear from someone who has been in ecommerce 26 years who has an incredible business model that I'm eager to share with you - you can also come meet our guest "Brandon" in Orlando at the upcoming TheProvenConference.com event in May!

#787: What's the state of the REPLENS selling model as we face the future of Amazon and Ecommerce?
If there's one rule of thumb with ecommerce it's this: Things are always changing. There's one business model however that we have been bullish about for the past 6+ years and we continue to be increasingly excited about for the future as Amazon needs sellers with this skills set more and more! The evidence is strong as student success stories continue to roll in! I'm talking about the REPLENS business model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. Perhaps you've heard many of the 100's of success stories from the students of the Proven Amazon Course REPLENS strategy on our podcast, but did you know that we've recently made major investments into updating the "PAC" course? We've been adding dozens of new, specific strategies as well as overhauling the "tech" to help make your experience as an Amazon selling student as powerful and prosperous as possible! Today I spend time talking to Jimmy Smith who is the leader on our team who systemized the REPLENS model nearly 5 years ago. We talk about what we've learned and how we've made your odds of success with the models we teach even better with the big recent changes we've made. We also have news for you about the coming live event in May (TheProvenConference.com) as well updates on the other unique services we provide Amazon sellers and the ecommerce community we serve.

#786: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. In this segment we discuss both our Amazon Influencer training and our Branded Bundles training. We also include the benefits of attending our annual live event. We covered episode #731 - While recovering 18 months from back surgery, she built incredible Amazon income streams. The full episode can be heard at https://silentjim.com/podcast Jim tells listeners how they can get a free copy of his updated book - Silent Sales Machine by texting the word "free" to 507-800-0090 or visiting https://silentsalesmachine.com/ssm11/ffv11 The guest discusses how she started her Amazon business with a Private label branded bundle item. It's important to note that it's NOT recommended that new sellers start with PL. Both Jim's free podcast, as well as The Proven Amazon Course (PAC), are great places for newer sellers to start. The guest discusses her background and how she got into e-commerce to begin with and then how Covid, followed by a big back surgery, launched her into being a business building warrior through the many challenges she faced. The guest shares about her mastermind group and how they work together, collaborate, help and encourage each other. Jim discusses the https://provenazinfluencer.com course and the https://provenbrandedbundles.com course. The guest is utilizing both of these models as streams of income Jim and the guest discuss the Amazon Influencer Program in more detail using Amazon's platform Jim and the guest discuss the upcoming Proven conference - May 23-25, 2024. More information can be found at: https://theprovenconference.com. The guest highlights benefits from attending a past conference - building relationships, learning content and identifying areas she wants to learn more about. Jim discusses "right ideas" vs "good ideas." The guest also discusses the combination of being a brand owner as well as a an influencer, at which point Jim has a lightbulb moment how these two courses complement each other. Jim asks the guest to share why she feels The Proven Conference stands above other conferences: 1) it digs deep on content in a way you can move your business forward (as opposed to superficial teaching) 2) some changes are needed with the timing of the VIP program and 3) some suggestions for an "inspiration track!" The guest really encourages new sellers to join a mastermind and Jim emphasizes turning our focus outward to help others!

#783: Small Amazon success leads to other successes - and how to deal with excess and return inventory
Today's new podcast episode is a great ProvenAmazonCourse.com success story who built his business while in college and quickly had a $40k/month business - but that's not where he stopped!

#782: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students
Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode. From the team highlights: Jim talks about the My Silent Team Facebook page which now has 74,000 members strong! The purpose of this Facebook group is to teach creative ways to make money online with Amazon as the primary focus because ½ of all online transactions occur on Amazon.com! Replens is the base model our group teaches for new sellers! The Proven Amazon Course is a learning library - "for on time learning!" 100% of JIm's income has been via e-commerce for the past 20 years! Jim's podcast, Silent Sales Machine Radio, is completely free to listen to. If interested in pursuing coaching, SilentJim.com/bookacall for more info Jim discusses his good friend, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and highly recommends his new book called The Holistic You - which integrates the 5 F's - faith, family, fitness, finance and friendship: https://www.amazon.com/Holistic-You-Integrating-Finances-Friendships/dp/1394163487 The conference will be held May 2024 in Orlando, FL! https://theprovenconference.com for more information! Jim feels this is one of the best Amazon conferences available because the people teaching the classes are actual Amazon sellers themselves and speak from personal selling experience! Jim explains that about 95% of new sellers start by looking at Amazon selling through the wrong lens - a mindset shift is needed to look for "testworthy ASINs" as opposed to "profitable products!" Jim uses a bag of marshmallows as an example to illustrate how a new seller can look for test worthy ASINs. Jim also discusses the Kick Start Boot Camp (for PAC members) which includes 4 group coaching sessions with Coach Robin Joy for about $40! Jim talks through an example of a profitable ASIN involving tea and recommends Podcast #369 to learn more about Keepa! Jim explains his process for pricing (set price and leave it for 30-45 days) and then lower it to break even to get it moving if needed. Jim recommends listeners check out Podcast #554 - Ignore The Amazon "buy box" if you want to sell more Amazon Replens Coach Robin Joy recommends the following categories for new sellers which tend to be open and a great place to start - home and kitchen, office supplies, arts and crafts, pet supplies (not food), patio, lawn and garden, industrial and scientific. Jim explains that as new sellers get 30-40 sales under their belt, Amazon will start to trust them and sellers will naturally become ungated in more categories! The guest discusses difficulties he is having as an international seller with his billing (LLC address) and shipping addresses (prep center) not matching and as a result, having a hard time getting ungated in Lego (and a different home address on file with Amazon). Jim talks through thoughts he has on this topic and recommends both the International Selling Course in the PAC and asking for help in the free FB group Jim answers some FBA prep and ship questions regarding which items can go in a box together as well as expiration dates Jim answers some questions regarding a newer course - www.ProvenBotSourcing.com and also mentions www.Profitseekerpro.com. Jim and the guest also discuss systems and how they help automate your business! Jim discusses the Keepa graph and how far back in time sellers need to go in order to decide if it is a test worthy ASIN. Jim discusses avoiding listings that are on lead lists and have a significant rise in sellers happening. Personally, he looks back 6-9 months in general and a year if it's a seasonal item to get a good idea of the selling history Jim was personally invited to the Amazon Accelerate Conference and had the opportunity to ask questions at the director level of Amazon! (with Claire O'Donnell) Jim discusses how Amazon divides sellers into 2 categories - those who are selling their own brand and those who are selling others' brands Jim discusses how about 95% of the time it is best to sell FBA. The premise of the guest's question is really when to also include FBM. Jim's opinion is that new sellers should really focus on FBA while learning the Amazon system Show note LINKS: Get a free business growth consulting session with an e-commerce consultant on our coaching team.

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode. Jim discusses the My Silent Team Facebook page and how the hundreds of inspirational successes are posted so new sellers can see that this works! It is easy for new sellers to become distracted with different business models but this group really emphasizes the Replens model as the place to start! This is not a get rich quick scheme but something that takes time to build and succeed with! In this segment, Jim talks about what our group is, what we have to offer and why we're worth listening to! Jim discusses how he has used the internet creatively for his multiple streams of income, which has supported his family for over 20 years! The guest asks Jim a question about being able to source a large enough quantity of products in the store to be able to test an ASIN (Retail Arbitrage = RA). Jim also reminds the listeners how important relationships are in this business! Although the Proven Conference 2023 has already happened, Jim discusses what the conference looks like and how it really is an "abundance minded community" - lots of relationships developed, friendships began and conversations had! (https://theprovenconference.com/ for all the information you need for the 2024 conference!) Jim discusses ungating and how ungated categories include: Sports and outdoor, household goods, kitchen and bath, office supplies, pet supplies (not food) and arts and crafts. New sellers can also go to the magnifying glass on the top of the My Silent Team Facebook page and search for "ungating" or "ungated" to read many posts on this topic! https://provenamazoncourse.com/safebookprofits/ for a course on a newer way to sell books! Jim also gives a powerful example of the Nike brand and an experience on Amazon that all sellers should listen to! Jim discusses the Replens model and how it can be a very profitable business model! According to Jim, "It's a beautiful business model!" Show note LINKS: Get a free business growth consulting session with an e-commerce consultant on our coaching team.

#777: Student lives in Bankok and has built an incredible business selling on Amazon US
Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching student living in (and from) Bangkok. He's followed the REPLENS training and has built an amazing business as you'll soon hear. I was blown away at his unique approach and how he's overcome what some would see as merely obstacles (English as his second language, lives outside the US but sells successfully on Amazon.com in the US, local currency weak against US dollar etc.) Those who pay attention to this episode today however should come away with two conclusions: I don't have any excuse to NOT be doing this business model, and... The way our guest "Fino" does the business should unlock incredible new possibilities in your mind. Episodes like this one really validate that we are in an incredible age of massive opportunities!

#776: Worst case and best case scenarios for Amazon sellers following the ProvenAmazonCourse.com strategies
On today's new podcast episode we discuss "What's the Worst That Can Happen? What's the Best That Can Happen? How do we Mitigate Risk as Amazon sellers?" Other questions include: How many units should I test when trying new products on Amazon? What's the ONE factor that determines my success with the Amazon strategies we teach? Our coaches Brian and Robin have helped hundreds of students succeed with the Amazon models we teach (as part of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com collection of strategies), and today we have some insights into the realities of the model.

#774: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's episode, we have highlights of a prior show put together by the podcast team. This episode highlights an awesome opportunity in creating branded bundles and selling them on Amazon. Our guest has been doing it for years and is quite successful in more ways than just monetarily. We covered episode #709 - Meet a seven figure branded bundle Amazon seller who employs special needs employees Highlights: Jim gives an introduction to the show's guest, Kim, who is building a beautiful business using the branded bundle strategy! This is not a model for new Amazon students but rather those who are well established with a business. (more info can be found at: https://provenbrandednundles.com). Additionally, she is providing incredible opportunities for people with special needs to work in her business! The guest details her 20 year history of e-commerce and how her dream of being able to employ people with special needs came to fruition! The guest talks about her purpose driven business and how the employees are loyal, happy to work, good at repetitive tasks and meticulous, which makes every day a good day! Jim encourages the guest to write a book based on her incredible experience she has with not only building a business but also creating employment for people with special needs! The guest shares some tips and pain points she's experienced with the branded bundle model. She feels her bundles have been successful due to many of them being "universal" in terms of recipients. Also a word of caution - be careful how you list products within the bundles. Be willing to navigate pain points and persist through the challenges! And always remember your WHY!

#770: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons
In today's episode, we have highlights of a prior show. This episode includes selling on eBay, Amazon coaching with Coaches Larry and Sue Pruett, getting systems in place, hiring a VA through Legends, getting IP complaints and his store deactivated, appealing the suspension and getting reinstated and more. What a journey! We covered episode #703 - From working in the CIA to building a beautiful Amazon business FT You can hear the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast Today's highlights: Ryan's story - The guest talks about his journey including writing a book called Introduction to Sports Memorabilia by Ryan Walsh, starting a prep center with a friend (called Encore Business Group) and triumphing over some very difficult family situations during this time! Our https://prepcenternetwork.com is our resource that lists prep centers. Ryan's prep center website is linked here: https://encorebusinessgroup.com/ This segment is an encouragement to anyone experiencing difficult life situations! The guest discusses in detail some of the hurdles he overcame including family illness and divorce. Jim shares how in these types of situations, there are two possible outcomes - sink or swim! Jim correlates what the guest shares to the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (and Celebrate Recovery) - starting with Step 1 - admitting I'm a mess and ending with Step 12 - helping others get out of what I was in! A favorite saying of Ryan's is, "Pressure makes diamonds or dust!" The guest shares how he is running his prep center FT, maintaining a presence on AZ utilizing Replens, trying different models for his business and continuing to study The Proven Amazon Course (PAC). Jim puts in a plug for the Coaching Program, which consists of more than 60 coaches and to date, has coached nearly 10,000 sellers! Jim and the guest discuss this Proven Product Partnering as a business model (found as a module in PAC) which teaches sellers how to partner with brands to get their products on Amazon. The guest shares details about his previous career, which was working for the CIA for 7 years. During this time he traveled the world internationally but started to have health issues. These experiences helped him recognize the poverty around the world and the appreciation for all we have. Jim reminds the listeners how blessed we are in the US and what an "overcomer spirit" the guest has. The guest reminds the listeners that there is light after the darkness and Jim ends by saying that this episode is really going to encourage others!

#769: From loyal eBay seller to new Amazon Replen seller who just had a $50K month
Today's guest still has a full-time job and is taking online college courses... and has a young daughter but he's squeezed into the cracks of his life the Amazon REPLENS selling business model that we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training - and it's going really well! He started in the Summer of 2023 and he's ramped up incredibly fast! He shares how he finds great inventory, the tools he's using, the power of doing some of your own shipping (FBM), the power of local relationships and also how he's well on his way to having a seven figure business. *** On today's podcast episode, Jim mistakenly refers to podcast episode 756 when he meant to refer to number 754. That's the episode where Khang talks about his fully automated $3 million amazon REPLENS business. Sponsored by Arbitrage Card - Save cash with DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS!

#768: The unexpected benefits of testing different products on Amazon
On today's new "coaches corner" podcast episode Robin Joy and Brian answer several why questions related to the 100 ASIN challenge that we teach to ensure success on Amazon. They also discuss a powerful benefit beyond ASINs being added as a replen and that is Amazon's Account Health Rating (AHR) "To ensure your AHR is evaluated in context of the size of your business, you also gain 4 points for every 200 successful orders you fulfilled over the last 180 days." https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G200205250?ref=ahd-ahr-lm When they say, "Use a 3-step check and a 4-week test to build a 5-figure business in 6 months or less…if you're consistent!" What is the significance of 5-figures and 6 months? Why is $10,000/mo in sales significant? Why is 6 months or less significant? Why is 100 ASINs significant? Famous Quote Strength doesn't come from what you CAN do; it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't — Rikki Rogers (author) Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Can a seller actually get themselves into trouble with Amazon by reporting other sellers and attempting to build a case against other sellers?

Coach Robin Joy discusses the Kick Start bootcamp - for less than $40 new sellers (have to be PAC members) receive 4 group coaching sessions and access to a private Facebook group that will help new sellers get set up quickly and send their 1st product into Amazon FBA! (silentjim.com/kickstart for more info) Coach Brian Olsen talks about the Replens accelerated workshop, which is happening May 21-22, 2024 (right before The Proven Conference!). More info can be found at provenamazoncourse.com/100 and theprovenconference.com. The guest shares an encouraging update on her business, which Jim says is "proof of concept!" silentjim.com/bookacall for more info on the coaching program. Coaches Brian and Robin Joy Olsen discuss category and brand restrictions for new sellers, as well as ungating. They also recommend Podcast #612 - "I STILL can't find any Amazon replens - someone help!," which contains information regarding "the 3 step check."(watch on YouTube rather than the podcast for additional info). Watch the YouTube version here: https://youtu.be/7SCqsPUjUSE Jim gives an overview of the Jan 1, 2024 podcast episode on the Amazon influencer program (Podcast #759 - Many are getting big monthly payouts from Amazon for simply uploading short videos to Amazon): 1) anyone can do it 2) doesn't cost anything 3) involves uploading videos to Amazon 4) if buyers watch them and buy the product as a result, then you get paid a % of the sale. Jim talks about one of his favorite podcasts of 2023 - #754 - "Fully automated OA REPLENS business doing multiple seven figures." Coach Brian Olson talks about avoiding generic listings and any ASINs that have the brand misspelled in the title. He compares finding ASINs to looking for puzzle pieces. Jim recommends new sellers listen to the concepts presented in Podcast episodes #554 - Ignore the Amazon "buy box" more if you want to sell more Amazon REPLENS, #555 - Ten ways to find great REPLENSto sell on Amazon and #612 - I STILL can't find any Amazon replens - someone help!

#765: Dad works full-time but has built a beautiful business with REPLENS and branded bundles
Today's provenamazoncourse.com success story interview is with a dad who works full-time but still squeezes in a few hours per week and has built an amazing business selling REPLENS and branded bundles. In his own words, "great inventory is everywhere once you understand the system". He started with selling used books, but quickly realized that was a grind he had little time to commit to. Once he got into REPLENS and then soon afterwards studied bundles, things took off!

#764: I think we've proven this is the lowest risk, highest odds of success Amazon opportunity ever
On today's new "coaches corner" podcast episode we explain why we see our unique approach to Amazon selling we've developed called REPLENS is the lowest risk, lowest learning curve and highest odds of success Amazon seller strategy (and quite possibly the best opportunity in all of ecommerce). If you aren't aware - we teach the REPLENS model in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course as just one of the ways to do very well on Amazon as an ecommerce warrior, but it's also where we start just about every student. We really break it down today and explain our rationale. When you compare this strategy for NEW SELLERS to the Private Label/Private Listings, Wholesale and other strategies, Selling/Reselling Existing Products…AKA "Replens" the way we teach it is hands down the best place to start - which is why we have 100's of success stories to share on our podcast alone - never mind the 1000's of posts in our Facebook group from those doing very well with this rapidly expanding opportunity! Stay tuned at the end of the episode today! Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: We estimate about 90% of all Amazon Section 3 suspensions from Q4 are now reinstated and an even higher percentage than that are reinstated in the PAC seller community. What was that all about? Why did it happen? How can we avoid that in the future?
