    #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.

    #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?" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/pTEkHwbmoOo   Show note LINKS:   3pmercury.com/friends - The best pricing on 3pMercury software!   ProvenAmazonCourse.com - The comprehensive course that contains ALL our Amazon training modules, recorded events and a steady stream of latest cutting edge training including of course the most popular starting point, the REPLENS selling model.
