    #1180: Breaking five figures monthly as a new Amazon selling coaching student with a bright future!

    Today's guest is the latest coaching student who now says, "I run out of money to spend on inventory way before I run out of great products to buy"   We keep hearing that over and over again from our coaching students!   Today we meet another student who says exactly that after breaking the five figures monthly in sales at tremendous margins!   At any given time there are millions of popular products being sold on Amazon. At first glance you might think there are plenty of sellers selling these items at competitive pricing, but once you understand the fact that Amazon has 100s of warehouses and many of those warehouses are OUT OF STOCK on these items and then you factor in the fact that shoppers who live near those warehouses are DEMANDING speed, then you begin to understand that the opportunity is massive on Amazon for great margins on easily sourced products!   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. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/GGpAXwfglco   Show note LINKS:   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

    #1179: Are you ready to launch your own product on Amazon? Let's find out!

    Some of the most exciting product launch stories in the Amazon seller community have come from our community, but today I'm going to talk you OUT of launching your own product on Amazon!   In the industry these new products are commonly referred to as "PL" or "private label" products.   The sad truth is, the vast majority of "gurus" and "Amazon experts" spend a lot of time and monty convincing people to launch their own PL brands and products on Amazon while knowing full well that 5% at best of their students will ever see a penny of profit and the vast majority will lose tens of thousands and fill their garages with unmovable inventory - while blaming themselves for doing it wrong.   FACT: The deck is stacked against you ever winning with PL if you're new to Amazon. It's that simple.   Today I'm going to talk you OUT of launching your own product... and then I'll talk you INTO it if you're well qualified!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/lTnN3dof3_4   Relevant LINKS:   Humnbird.com  - Teaching brand registry on Amazon and way more!   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

    #1178: He hit $10K a month. Then his coach told him to stop working harder!

    A coaching client got on Robin's calendar this week sitting at ~$10,000 a month in sales and feeling stuck. He's an engineer, so the math felt obvious: $50K is just $10K, five times over. Do what's working, five times as much, and you're there. Except that's the trap, and by the end of the call he said he felt like he'd been hit by a two-by-four. In the best way.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down why the playbook that built your foundation is the wrong playbook for your next floor, using a house Brian actually built as the map.   Why $50K is a system, not a goal you can reach by wanting it five times more Why business grows like bamboo: nothing for years, then six feet overnight How your test-to-replens conversion rate tells you exactly how many ASINs to source for growth (and what a 50% "failure" rate is really telling you) Why looking at every ASIN makes you the bottleneck, and how to take off the employee hat before you scale The difference between high standards and self-sabotage, and why beating yourself up at night quietly tells you that you don't deserve it   You didn't fail to grow. You just kept pouring concrete after it was time to build. Let's go test more ASINs.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "When is it VERY unsafe to sell textbooks on Amazon?"

    #1177: Which seller are you? "I can't find ANYTHING to sell" or "There's far more great inventory than I have time or money to buy!"

    On Amazon are you more of a "I can't find ANYTHING seller" or "There's more great inventory than I have time or money to buy"?   Why are many shoppers on Amazon gladly paying $30 for an item when the exact same item is being sold for $15 on the same ASIN?   MILLIONS of shoppers on Amazon all day every day are doing exactly that, and they are very happy to do so. Until you understand why this happens so often, you'll struggle with a low margin business that's always worried about "finding profitable inventory".   If you've not yet joined the ranks of those of us who see Amazon reselling as a wide open opportunity that's expanding far faster than any of us can grasp, you need this episode.   There's a reason we have students over and over reporting that they are: ... getting incredible proof of concept within a few hundred dollars spent ... seeing amazing margins on popular products ... selling their inventory at prices well above competition ... waking up to page after page of great ASINs daily ... running out of money way before they run out of great inventory every day   If you don't yet understand how tools like 3PMercury make it possible to simplify this business while finding loads of great opportunity daily, you need this episode!   Riddle: What store shelf ready product is FREE for anyone to take but costs $7-$8 each just a few hundred yards away? Come find why this lesson opens up incredible opportunity for Amazon resellers!   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. Use our link and get a free trial: https://SilentJim.com/numbers    Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/YXmJ7yvYBQE   Relevant LINKS:   You can schedule a short one-on-one demo of 3PMercrury here: https://go.oncehub.com/3pdemo   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

    #1175: It's not 50 cents. It's permission.

    A coaching client this week was grinding four hours a night, sitting on six ASINs he'd already vetted, and still couldn't pull the trigger. His words: "There's gotta be something I'm missing here." He wasn't missing a tool. He was missing permission to act.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy take you inside an actual coaching call where Robin turned three "pass on it" ASINs into two she'd test in real time. The fix wasn't a new filter or a secret tactic. It was learning to read the right number instead of the one every calculator shoves to the front page.   Why the current buy box, the price you can buy it at right now, never once entered Robin's decision. Why a $1.79 product that nets 50 cents isn't too small, it's 28% ROI and the cheapest belief-builder you'll ever buy. Why you should start your price at the highest evidence you have and let the test, not the other sellers, tell you what it's worth. And what Robin hunts for on every red ASIN that most people close the tab on.   The client said it himself: "I have to get out of my own head." Teddy Roosevelt said it better. In any moment of decision, the worst thing you can do is nothing.   You didn't fail to find five ASINs. You just kept disqualifying products for failing a test you never ran. Let's go test more ASINs.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC eastablishment?"
