Today's new interview is with a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who was forced to find a way to earn an income "indoors" after having an accident riding horses. He'd always been an "outdoors" kind of guy, and he still is since recovering, but his Amazon seller skills are his primary income now and he's doing great!   He's a big fan of our coaching program as well as he explains, "I wish I would have started with coaching sooner - I would have avoided so many mistakes and would have ramped up even faster."   You'll enjoy Brian's matter-of-fact, plain spoken approach to describing what he sells, where he finds it, how he applies his sourcing rules to keepa and much more on today's all new episode.   This episode is sponsored by https://humnbird.com - They help sellers get established on Amazon.com (sell in the US from anywhere in the world) They specialize in everything from Intellectual Property, Trademarks, Patents, Corporation Setup to Branding, Design and Marketing.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of "replens" and how it differentiates from Online Arbitrage (OA), Retail Arbitrage (RA), and Wholesale. We start by discussing a crucial piece of advice from our Kickstart Bootcamp—always check the brand! Nothing else matters if the brand doesn't match.   Then, we explore a common question from a new coaching client: What exactly is a "replen"?   We break down the definition, highlighting how replenishable items don’t need to be consumable and can be sourced at full price, as long as they are viable, testable, and consistently replenishable.   Additionally, we tackle the ideal price point for replen items, reflecting on our journey from an average resale price of $15 in the early days to $25 today. You'll also hear insights on how some clients have succeeded with lower-cost items that resell between $10-$15.   Whether you're just starting out or refining your strategy, this episode offers valuable guidance on building a sustainable business model with replens!   Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses how speed kills. The most important policy violation remedies for sellers who have an IP complaint against them.   Watch today's episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/wVE4JZQEwqs   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a FREE call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   SilentSalesMachine.com - text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

On today’s all new podcast episode I interview a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has been through several stages of development in his business.   You may or may not realize it, but we have a roadmap laid out for our students as they move from "newbie" seller to "advanced" seller. Those who follow this roadmap tend to do extremely well as illustrated by this latest interview (we have 100s of interviews like this one on our show!)   We start you new sellers out with the basics, which is our time-tested, very low risk, low learning curve and high odds of success strategy called REPLENS. From there, many models open up to you.   Once you know the basics you can move on to other model such as wholesale in launching around brand.   Today’s podcast guest Michael follow that path and has done extremely well at every stage of his business including launching his own product using our coaching and guidance!   This is an encouraging episode full of specific strategies that will undoubtedly motivate and encourage you on your Amazon and e-commerce journey!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/UPKhHQc_YKM   Show note LINKS:   TheProvenConference.com - May 29-31, 2025 Join your fellow business building warriors in Orlando for our 13th annual conference!   ProvenWholesaleSourcing.com - Our new mastermind has launched!

Today I have a conversation for you on our podcast that I think everyone will enjoy regarding leadership and business and balancing it all with family.   This episode is different than any other we’ve ever recorded in that we spend some time talking directly to the men who are trying to find that elusive "balance" needed to effectively play the role of husband, father, provider and business owner.   A mentor of mine, Aaron Walker joins me for this discussion. He is a founder of an incredible mastermind group for male business owners that I'm excited to tell you about. Some incredibly influential and accomplished men are already part of this group and I'm honored to be joining forces with them.   This episode has something for everyone, but if you're a guy who is finding it hard to "keep it all together" as you pursue a fulfilling life of both high achievement and family balance, you'll especially appreciate this episode. Quite likely, the right relationships are the missing key - and we discuss how to address that on today's show.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/hS_QCy3rREQ   Show note LINKS: SilentJim.com/isi ←Aaron's mastermind group   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 77,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!

In the 15 years that we’ve been teaching Amazon selling strategy in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course, I’ve never endorsed a "buy list"   As of today, my opinion of "buy lists" HAS NOT changed at all, and I still say AVOID THEM UNLESS YOU ARE VERY EXPERIENCED...but I have FINALLY found a company that has high enough standards that I feel comfortable endorsing them for those who are positioned to use what they provide.   For those who don't know, a "buy list" is simply a list of products (aka Amazon ASIN's) that someone else researched for you that they suggest might be good products to purchase and sell on Amazon.   It's not an "easy button" however.   If you are a brand new seller, you absolutely MUST learn how to read a keepa chart and learn how to spot a good replen on your own (that's what we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse).   Today’s new podcast episode is NOT a simple shortcut path into easy success.   That being said, I do feel like I’ve found a great "buy list" solution that has high enough standards that I’m truly excited to share it with you and share the conversation I had with a very successful seller who not only runs a great buy list, but he has a robust, profitable Amazon business as well!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/tt5Axj8Ft3k   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/oac - The special offer link to the buy list run by OA (online arbitrage) Cheddar   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 77,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!
