    #1183: From doubting skeptic to wildly successful student of our Amazon training!

    We've turned a SKEPTIC with serious concerns into a RAVING FAN who is CRUSHING IT!   The backstory: A few months ago I posted in invitation in our large Facebook group inviting ANY SKEPTICS to please step forward.   I wanted anyone who had "heard bad things" about being an Amazon reseller. The scarier the stories the better! I wanted a true skeptic who didn't want to get into Amazon reselling because they had a lot of big questions and had heard a lot of scary things about the business.   I found a volunteer and interviewed him on this show about 9 months ago (link in show notes). Jump forward to today, and he's CRUSHING IT and LOVING the business! His most recent month he did $35K at 15% net margin from his 3Pmercury ASINs.   As with many other students are recently saying, he's "finding more profitable inventory than I can possibly invest in".   He loves and is using 3PMercury and MSP (https://3pmercury.com/friends / SilentJim.com/msp), so we also have on the show today the founder of MSP, Ido Friedman   This is an episode that's sure to inspire! If you'd like to talk over your options for getting started, visit SilentJim.com/bookacall We'd love to meet you and build out a custom roadmap for your success!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/MQ3PIWD4Bg0   Don't forget to check out our episode sponsor, Sellerboard, our awesome sponsor - THE accurate profit analytics tool for Amazon sellers that helps you calculate your profit precisely, accounting for all hidden fees and in real time.
