#1132: Former teacher now earns about $80/hour working 3 hours per day on an Amazon reselling business

You've heard us say for several months now that Amazon reselling is getting simpler by the day because of the technology and strategies we are deploying for our students.   Another major breakthrough has just happened and it's more true or now than it has ever been. Amazon reselling is getting simpler.   Today we spend time with the founder of 3PMercury discussing the latest automations that are making the lives of Amazon sellers so much easier with so much more opportunity emerging for all of us literally daily!   The latest news... New technology is allowing sellers to automatically monitor the inventory levels of their suppliers, as well as the REAL TIME COSTS OF REORDERING more inventory. Example, if an item that used to cost $7 at Walmart now costs only $6 (or goes up to say, $9), 3PMercury knows and makes repurchase suggestions based on real time inventory cost updates! This means that 3P mercury software can now recommend with more confidence than ever the lowest hanging fruit opportunities in your product catalogue!   Let's spend time today with the founder of 3Pmercury and learn more about the latest automations - also, be sure to join us March 5th for a webinar demonstration at 3Pmercury.com/webinar (recording will be posted on that page as well).   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8t71I0ndS0g   Show note LINKS:   3PMercury YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi4wEyJVgx_RDRcjXncuCUQ   Is this a GOOD ASIN or a BAD ASIN (3pmercury youtube video): https://youtu.be/_vgOjIKqH4w?si=rOIs0vozp3tO9wIt   What are the steps 3P uses to evaluate an ASIN automatically? https://youtu.be/FZeextx9GvQ?si=5JWDBp9yCB1x-Fal   3pmercury.com/webinar - Come see a demo of the latest AI features at the latest March 5th webinar as Khang covers the cost/inventory live update features of 3PMercury.

Robin Joy survived a birthday party at Slick City...barely. What started as a 60-year-old launching herself face-first off an indoor slide (and going viral for it) turned into the most honest conversation we've had about why watching other sellers succeed doesn't prepare you for the moment you actually try it yourself.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down the three stages every Amazon seller goes through, and the costly mistake most people make by skipping straight to stage three before they've earned it. If you've ever wondered why your sourcing feels like luck some days and chaos others, this one's for you.     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I just use ChatGPT to respond to an Amazon POA (plan of action) request?"

Brian and Robin Joy handed an AI agent their FBA flight simulator with a thousand bucks and 26 weeks to build a business from scratch. No coaching. No frameworks. No hand-holding. What happened over those simulated weeks was so recognizable it was almost uncomfortable to watch.   Not because the AI did something weird. Because it did something deeply, unmistakably human.  It ran its testing operation with discipline. It built real winners. Then it ran itself down to $6.24.   And when the 26 weeks were up, Flight Director Kranz delivered the verdict live. What he said should be on a sticky note above every seller's computer. This one's part experiment, part confession, part coaching session you didn't know you needed.   Brian and Robin Joy unpack what the experiment revealed and why "busy" and "profitable" are two completely different businesses.   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?"

On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right?   Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made.   This NEW kind of reseller wants: -lower risk decisions -zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN -higher margin opportunities -software that does most of the heavy lifting -an end to the constant dread of ASINs that die off -no fear of gating issues -true diversification of their catalog -a business that can be scaled and ran by a tiny team without outside help   Reselling on Amazon is getting better because of TOOLS and STRATEGIES- and while the OLD way of "hunting for winners constantly" is still beautiful and serves many sellers quite well, the NEW way (aka 3PMercury) is so user friendly and low risk in comparison!   Check out our sponsor: SilentJim.com/2d - Try 2D Workflow for free and see how much you could save every time you send in an FBA shipment to Amazon!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/854QYt8sfzU   Show note LINKS   3PMercury.com - Our best price https://3pmercury.com/friends and the free extension https://3pmercury.com/extension   SilentJim.com/kickstart - If you want a shortcut to learning all you need to get started, then get the Proven Amazon Course and go through Kickstart.   TheProvenConference.com - Learn more about our upcoming August 2026 event!

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.   Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?"
