We've easily seen 50 or more major changes for Amazon sellers over the 14+ years we've been selling on Amazon and teaching Amazon selling strategies.   There's a pattern with these changes. The fourth quarter of the year seems to be when Amazon always rolls out a few surprises.   In light of the new challenges, what new advice do we have for sellers both new and experienced? Is the opportunity on Amazon still viable for sellers? Does the future look bright or are there shifts coming? What are the big indicators that tell the whole story? How much concern should we have about all of this?   Good news - we are seeing plenty of great signs, but let's discuss it!   Today's new podcast episode will help especially newer sellers process the emerging challenges and opportunities with reselling on Amazon   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2yHin-2d7mM   Show note LINKS: SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy delve into the crucial concept of testing ASINs, a key strategy for Amazon sellers. They explore what testing actually means, the different ways to approach it, and how it can minimize risks while maximizing profits.   Brian and Robin use relatable analogies—from testing shower temperatures to clinical trials—to explain why starting small is important before making big inventory commitments.   Tune in as they share practical tips on effective testing, discuss the benefits of gaining real selling experience, and emphasize the value of building trust with Amazon through successful transactions. Whether you're a seasoned seller or just getting started, this episode will help you develop a smarter approach to testing your products.   Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses transparency and enrolling in the Amazon program to keep your account health rating good.

On today's all new episode we discuss Walmart!   Did you know that Walmart has now emerged as the best "add on" platform for Amazon sellers to use in order to diversify?   We are seeing great momentum in our community among resellers who simply "flipped" some of their unsellable inventory from Amazon to Walmart and were shocked at the results they achieved relatively quickly.   We have always been a multiple income stream community for business building warriors, and Walmart has clearly settled into the slot of our second favorite selling platform for those who pursue reselling.   Note: our new Walmart seller training course is marked WAY down for the next few days!
