Today we meet a former teacher/principal who is not working about three hours per day and enjoying the steady pace of his Amazon reselling business. He's a ProvenAmazonCourse.com  student and a 3Pmercury user who says "I have more than enough great ASINs I can sell".   You'll love his observations about the opportunity, the relationships he's found and the pace of life he's enjoying while earning a great income.   Check out our sponsor:  SilentJim.com/2d - Try 2D Workflow for free and see how much you could save every time you send in an FBA shipment to Amazon!   Watch this episode on our YouTube https://youtu.be/PxgZD2R4KHg   Show note LINKS:   3PMercury.com - Our best price https://3pmercury.com/friends  and the free extension https://3pmercury.com/extension    SilentJim.com/ta -TA aka Tactical Arbitrage  There's a course in the ProvenAmazonCourse library called OAsimplified that trains you how to use TA   SilentJim.com/oaleads - Nepeto A sourcing tool used and loved by many in our community   SilentJim.co

Brian and Robin Joy handed an AI agent their FBA flight simulator with a thousand bucks and 26 weeks to build a business from scratch. No coaching. No frameworks. No hand-holding. What happened over those simulated weeks was so recognizable it was almost uncomfortable to watch.   Not because the AI did something weird. Because it did something deeply, unmistakably human.  It ran its testing operation with discipline. It built real winners. Then it ran itself down to $6.24.   And when the 26 weeks were up, Flight Director Kranz delivered the verdict live. What he said should be on a sticky note above every seller's computer. This one's part experiment, part confession, part coaching session you didn't know you needed.   Brian and Robin Joy unpack what the experiment revealed and why "busy" and "profitable" are two completely different businesses.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What's an Amazon CSM review and is it a big deal?"

Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who became a coaching student (SilentJim.com/bookacall) and then became a coach - and it's been a few years since we heard from him!   He has a healthy seven-figure business and he has so many great lessons to share!   "I wanted to be home as a dad."   He made it happen and he's thriving!   We spend a good amount of time discussing the power of intentional RELATIONSHIPS as well!

On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right?   Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made.   This NEW kind of reseller wants: -lower risk decisions -zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN -higher margin opportunities -software that does most of the heavy lifting -an end to the constant dread of ASINs that die off -no fear of gating issues -true diversification of their catalog -a business that can be scaled and ran by a tiny team without outside help   Reselling on Amazon is getting better because of TOOLS and STRATEGIES- and while the OLD way of "hunting for winners constantly" is still beautiful and serves many sellers quite well, the NEW way (aka 3PMercury) is so user friendly and low risk in comparison!   Check out our sponsor: SilentJim.com/2d - Try 2D Workflow for free and see how much you could save every time you send in an FBA shipment to Amazon!   Watch this episode

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.   Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?"

Today we meet a coaching student who has just had her first five figure sales month and she's thrilled by the rapid progress she's seeing as a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student. They are a foster family and her big "WHY" is to be able to be home and continue living out their calling to foster even more children (they've had 25 so far!)   The first several minutes of the episode are a compelling backstory as to why it means to much to her to have finally found a great business she can do from home and how much this community and our training has had a major impact on their family.   Check out our sponsor: SilentJim.com/2d - Try 2D Workflow for free and see how much you could save every time you send in an FBA shipment to Amazon!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/wyo8l8pOpWw   Show note LINKS:   TheProvenConference.com - Watch that page for pending announcements about a possible late August 2026 event!   SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word "free" to 507-800-0090 to get a free co

Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode. He had enjoyed a 27 year career at an executive level, but the prospect of being home building his own ecommerce business offered far more reward and a better lifestyle as well - so he's jumped in to being full-time online!   In 2025 he enjoyed $700K in sales at a whopping 21% net profit WHILE holding down his corporate career - and now that he's just gone full-time on Amazon, the future is VERY bright!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/9zEFpGSeXZ4   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/prepcentertraining Learn how to use the extra space in your home as a profitable PPP - Proven Product Partnering - a module inside the ProvenAmazonCourse.com   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling mod

You did the work. You sourced it, prepped it, shipped it. So where's the money? In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood phases of building an Amazon business: the quiet period. That stretch where your brain is screaming "nothing is working" but your pipeline is actually filling exactly like it should.   They break down the real timeline most new sellers experience versus the one they imagined, why your first shipment is basically the first pancake (nobody expects that one to be good), and what manufacturing concepts like cycle time and lead time have to do with your FBA results.   Plus, Robin Joy drops a James Clear ice cube analogy that might change how you think about quitting, and Brian explains why the sellers you admire at month nine aren't smarter or luckier. They just didn't turn off the heat at 31 degrees.   If you're in months one through four and wondering whether this thing actually works, this one's for you.   "A river cuts through rock, n

As you've likely heard by now, sourcing great ASINs (products) to sell on Amazon is getting easier almost by the day thanks to new tools and strategies we teach in our community.   Better yet, the demand for popular products delivered quickly to the 100s of millions of Amazon shoppers is exploding in growth - all that means HUGE opportunities for resellers who understand the game!   One tool that's helping sellers find loads of great asins quickly is a website scraping tool called Arbisource. We invited them onto the podcast today because so many users are reporting tremendous results using it! SilentJim.com/arb is the link to get a free trial of Arbisource.

Can you REALLY sell eight figures in sales shopping websites and flipping on Amazon!? YES YOU CAN!   A recent post in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com student support group recently sparked a hot conversation!   The seller showed off the sales graph for his EIGHT FIGURE OA business (Online Arbitrage). I reached out to ask for an interview, and today's episode is exactly that!   The opportunity to help fill the underserved shelf space on millions of products on Amazon is far BIGGER and expanding more RAPIDLY than any of us fully realize - and today's episode it just more proof.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/h1MqGHcvGn8   Show note LINKS:   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.

Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month?   Think again.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers.   Here's what nobody tells you: Those "perfect" high-velocity listings? That's where opportunity goes to die. Meanwhile, the big players can't operate in the space you can. Volatility is their enemy. But for the agile seller? It's your greatest competitive advantage.   Brian breaks down the actual pricing spread data across velocity bands, explains why "messy" charts signal profit zones (not danger zones), and reveals how to read Keepa like a treasure map instead of a warning sign.   In this episode: Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products Ho

Our free facebook group for Amazon sellers sees it DAILY.

Staring at the same Keepa chart for the third day in a row? Robin Joy introduces the concept of "data imprisonment" - when historical data becomes a cage instead of a compass.   Brian and Robin Joy break down why Keepa shows you evidence of what happened, not proof of what will happen for YOU. They share real coaching examples of hidden Amazon Fresh competition, geographic blind spots, and why the only way to escape analysis paralysis is to test more ASINs.   As Yogi Berra said: "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If my bank statements don't show the full account number, should I switch banks?"
