In the 15 years that we’ve been teaching Amazon selling strategy in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course, I’ve never endorsed a "buy list"   As of today, my opinion of "buy lists" HAS NOT changed at all, and I still say AVOID THEM UNLESS YOU ARE VERY EXPERIENCED...but I have FINALLY found a company that has high enough standards that I feel comfortable endorsing them for those who are positioned to use what they provide.   For those who don't know, a "buy list" is simply a list of products (aka Amazon ASIN's) that someone else researched for you that they suggest might be good products to purchase and sell on Amazon.   It's not an "easy button" however.   If you are a brand new seller, you absolutely MUST learn how to read a keepa chart and learn how to spot a good replen on your own (that's what we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse).   Today’s new podcast episode is NOT a simple shortcut path into easy success.   That being said, I do feel like I’ve found a great "buy list" solution that has high enough standards

If you were tasked with coming up with a list of characteristics of the perfect business model, what would you put on that list?   For me, I'd include things like low risk, flexibility, transportable (I can put my biz in my pocket and go anywhere), scalable, sellable someday (I want to build an asset), generates multiple opportunities for other income streams, all of the big trends in culture are in my favor (a growing market), a community of other people who are successfully doing the model that I can learn from and grow with, the ability to add family to my business if I choose to...   And for many people -   The ability to TEST and PROVE the biz model with a very small amount of capital and time (say, $500 or so).   What else would you add to your list of perfect business model characteristics?   I'm pretty sure we can PROVE that we have found the model that meets all these criteria... and more. It's what we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com "new seller" modules.   Let's talk about it. Watch this episode

We love to see ProvenAmazonCourse.com students get off to a fast start with success early in their journey! Today's guest is a new PAC and coaching student who took action and already is seeing tremendous results.   Thanks to the training he received, he recently jumped on a listing on Amazon with 200+ other sellers and sold a TON of product (2,400 units). He sourced them from local Target stores (they cleared their inventory from storage for him).   The best part - he was the HIGHEST PRICED SELLER of all 200+ sellers!!   He was able to do this because he understands one of the core lessons from the PAC/replens training which is to look for UNDERSERVED shelf space at Amazon. Once you grasp that concept, there's opportunity everywhere.   Listen to today's brand new show and others here: https://SilentJim.com/podcast   Watch today's episode here: https://youtu.be/mwBH5gF9fao   Show note LINKS:  Join the discussion about Amar's 2,400 units sold at the highest price with 200+ other sellers here: (you will need to

In this episode, Coach Brian and Robin Joy dive deep into the essentials of Replenishing Competency for your Amazon business. They break down the fundamental strategy: if you sold one, replenish one.   You'll learn how to test and set the right prices, the importance of finding high-velocity ASINs, and how to maximize profits by strategically pricing above the buy box. We also discuss key tips on managing your replenishment budget, the balance between testing new ASINs and restocking proven winners, and how to leverage the law of averages and economies of scale for sustained growth.   Plus, they cover the critical competencies every seller must master, including identifying sales patterns, knowing where to restock items, and ensuring your inventory meets all necessary criteria.   Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses returns and reimbursements.
