    May 11 2024
    In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show. We covered episode #623: A beautiful partnership leads to an amazing Amazon business which you can hear at https://silentjim.com/podcast This episode's guests have built a fantastic Amazon business with a very part-time effort. They are the latest of dozens of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that I've interviewed who have succeeded in a big way. They joined our coaching program about a year ago and attribute most of their success to the great experience they've had as coaching students. They have an unusual partnership. He's a guy with a full-time job and his partner is a nearby friend/family member who is retired - but together their business is booming and they have so many tips to share! They source their profitable inventory in various ways; via online sourcing, local retail and they are also beginning to explore private label products. You'll be inspired by the unique approach they take to finding profitable inventory for their Amazon business. This is one of those episodes that I promise will inform and encourage you with plenty of highly actionable insights. Highlight topics put together by the podcast team include: Retail Arbitrage as a sustainable business model to grow into other models Important tools for your business and how to utilize them Relationships; some very endearing stories shared by both the guests and Jim The importance of having a legal advisor on your team (Jeff Schick is so affordable) Coaching and the level up one gets by investing in mentorship How the My Silent Team Facebook group is anther place to develop relationships Show note LINKS: Jim's book Silent Sales Machine has been updated and you can get the FREE audio version here: https://silentjim.com/free11 They all talk about the conference from last year but here is this year's info with tickets still available to attend!

  • #831: Turning your Amazon inventory sourcing approach upside down

    #831: Turning your Amazon inventory sourcing approach upside down
    May 8 2024

    Our newer ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students often ask questions like, “Where can I find a source that allows me to sell items for a profit on Amazon?”

    Typically these students are looking at the current or average recent buy box price on Amazon or the featured price and then setting about trying to find a "cheaper source".

    While there's some potential in that model, there's far lower hanging fruit for you to explore and that's the topic of today's new podcast episode.

    Today we turn the sourcing question upside down and ask this question instead:

    “Now that I know my cost of acquiring this item, what price will I need to sell this item for on Amazon in order to make a profit?"

    Next ask...

    "Are there ASINs that make my profitable price a reasonable goal?"

    Once you know how to look, the answer will be a resounding "YES" far more often that you might suspect!

    Let's talk about it on today's episode. Watch it pn our YouTubbe channel here: https://youtu.be/EVuDWkWXmQA

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What should I look for on a retail store receipt as a reseller on Amazon?

    #828: Help! I can't find profitable inventory - what should I do? Inspiration and instruction for new Amazon sellers.
    May 2 2024

    Over the past 20 years, having coached ecommerce success to nearly 10,000 students, I can tell you with certainty that I know the number one question that anyone who is "stuck" has on their mind...

    "What can I sell?"

    or

    "Where is the profitable inventory?"

    or

    "Where can I start if I want to find good inventory?" etc.

    Let's tackle that head on with one of the dozens of great strategies that we teach in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com training -I'm giving you ALL the details and ALL the proof that this flat out works... and it's just ONE of NUMEROUS strategies that we teach for new sellers!

    Instead of selling at a price lower than everyone else, I'll show you how to sell consistently at a price HIGHER than everyone else - I call it our "above buy box" strategy and it's working amazingly well!
