    #1201: 10 Things Smart Amazon Sellers Do During Q4

    Q4 is the biggest selling season of the year on Amazon, and the sellers who plan for it pull ahead of the ones who wing it. In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Jimmy Smith shares 10 things smart Amazon sellers do to make the most of the fourth quarter.   Drawing on more than a decade of selling since 2015, Jimmy walks through a practical Q4 checklist: studying last year's data on Keepa before you buy, sourcing beyond the crowded toy aisle, revisiting your own past Q4 winners, and building buying calendars around each holiday so you're never sourcing too late. He also covers keeping inventory moving through prep and ship, checking your proven replens more often, watching what really happens to prices and competition after Black Friday, and adjusting your pricing as delivery dates and competition shift.   You'll also hear why preparing a fulfilled by merchant operation before you need it can open up a big window between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and why the smartest sellers keep buying and shipping right into January instead of coasting once Christmas passes. Along the way, Jimmy points out where a tool like 3P Mercury can carry the heavy lifting, from surfacing past winners to pulling in fresh leads each day.   Whether this is your first Q4 or your eleventh, this episode gives you a clear game plan to work from.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What's an Amazon CSM review and is it a big deal?"

    #1199: Amazon FBA Cash Flow How Fast Do You Actually Get Paid?

    Buy something for $10, sell it for $30, pocket the profit. That's the version of Amazon reselling you see all over social media. But it leaves out the part that actually decides whether your business grows: how long it takes to get your cash back.     In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Jimmy Smith walks through the real cash flow cycle of an Amazon reselling business, from the day you swipe the card to the day Amazon disburses your money. He breaks the whole timeline down step by step (waiting on the supplier, prepping and shipping, Amazon receiving your inventory, selling through, and the disbursement hold) and explains why most sellers land around a 90 day cycle, turning their money over about four times a year.     You'll hear why product selection is the foundation the whole cycle rests on, how tools like Keepa and 3P Mercury help you buy the right items in the first place, and a few practical ways to speed the cycle up, including fulfilled by merchant, tighter prep and ship times, and jumping on the best buying opportunities and discounts the moment they appear. Jimmy also puts the numbers in perspective: most investments report an annual return, so being able to cycle your capital every few months is a real advantage when you buy well (these are averages, not guarantees, and your results will vary with your products and pace).   If cash flow has felt like a mystery, this episode gives you a clear map of what to actually expect.     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 establishment?"

    #1198: The '$10K to Start' Lie (You Need Way Less)

    You've probably heard that you need $10,000 to start selling on Amazon. In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Jimmy Smith explains where that number comes from, why it's true for one path, and why it doesn't have to be true for you.   Jimmy has been selling on Amazon since 2015, and he breaks down the real reason private label carries that big price tag: overseas manufacturing runs, prep, software, advertising, and reorders all stack up before you ever turn a profit. Then he lays out the model this community actually recommends for new sellers, reselling through arbitrage and wholesale, where you can get started with around a thousand dollars and spread your risk across dozens of products instead of betting it all on one.   You'll hear why starting small and testing many products beats going all in on a single item, how tools like Keepa and 3P Mercury help you read a product's real selling history before you buy, and why having too much cash early can actually work against a new seller. Jimmy also walks through some simple, honest math on how small tests can average out (results are never guaranteed, but the examples show why lower risk matters so much when you're learning).   If you've been sitting on the fence wondering whether you can even afford to start, this episode is for you.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Lj2EC1_dORs   Resources mentioned: Try 3P Mercury for $1 for 30 days: askjimmysmith.com/3pm Group and one-on-one coaching: silentjim.com/coaching     Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE!
