On today's new podcast episode I spend time with a ProvenAmazonCourse.com / coaching student who is loving her journey towards eventually going full-time with her husband into their Amazon selling and e-commerce business. They are well on their way and super excited!   They have seven kids (most of whom help with the business) and he works full time as an electrician, but she has found about 10-15 hours per week to work the business and they are very encouraged by the results they are getting so far in their journey!   They have a goal of eventually doing e-commerce together full-time as their primary income and buying some land to homestead while they grow their business together. They hope to achieve this in 2025.   They live in a fairly rural area, so they do most of their sourcing online. They use a lot of the "above buy box" strategies as well which we discuss.   We discuss the challenges in balancing the business with family life, her sourcing and pricing strategies, and her long-term business goals.  

Today, we have very time sensitive announcements for our weekend update. First, a free webinar on automation featuring Khang Dang, who built a $3M automated Amazon business, will be held soon.

One of the most exciting strategies we've been talking about lately for Amazon sellers involves identifying the underserved shelf space at Amazon's hundreds of warehouses and then sending in inventory that sells for great margins in those underserved warehouses.   There's a module inside the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training that dives deeper into this concept as well as great discussions in our Facebook group about it (link in show notes).   The tool we use to help us identify these strategies is called keepa. (SilentJim.com/keepa)   Lately I've been asking keepa to add new features to help make our research easier - and the good news is, they've been listening. Today I dive into some of the new features that keepa has added that are making our job as sellers so much easier than it used to be when it comes to finding underserved shelf space at Amazon's warehouses.   I'll be discussing the "Amazon out of stock" (OOS) field, the brand new Amazon standard deviation field, and the "in stock Head Start" strategy th

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, co-hosts Brian and Robin Joy tackle a game-changing topic: redefining what it means to "win" in the Amazon marketplace.

The duo shares actionable tips for developing and sticking to a plan, avoiding common pitfalls, and fostering long-term success in an ever-evolving online sales landscape.   Whether you’re a seasoned Amazon seller or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights to help you rethink your approach, make better decisions, and persist until you achieve your goals.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the seller space scams that are
