#1062: For over 10 years I've advised AGAINST Amazon seller LEADS LISTS-until now...

For over 10 years, I’ve given some pretty hardlined advice in regards to the use of "leads lists" and "buy lists" for Amazon sellers. My basic advice has been to only use them if you are extremely experienced or flat-out crazy.   These lists are compiled by those who claim they've "done the research for you," and you can just go purchase everything on the list and make money! Baloney!!   Today, I explain why I am now fully on board with using leads lists if you have the budget for them!   What's changed? I'll explain in the episode, but the bottom line is 3PMercury and ProvenAmazonCourse.com training have caused a disruptive earthquake of opportunity for sellers!   Leads lists are now paying off in big ways for those who know how to use them properly. I explain how to use them properly on today’s episode.   Watch the episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/tXvwJDijZwI   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! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam  Join 82,000 + 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!

It’s easy to get hooked on those gold bars in your Amazon seller app, the quick sales, the dopamine hit, the “I’m really doing this” feeling. But what happens when the screen refreshes at the end of the month and the profits aren’t there? In this Coach’s Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy dig into the difference between chasing sales volume (the empty calories of your business) and building around high-quality, profitable ASINs (the meaty beasts that actually feed you long-term). You’ll hear: Why lowering prices for more sales can quietly starve your profits The common trap of comparing your “gold bars” to everyone else’s highlight reel How to use the Profit Profile coaching session to see what’s really happening in your margins The mindset shift from incremental growth to exponential breakthroughs Practical ways to hunt for ASINs with real staying power instead of chasing every small win If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder but not getting ahead, this episode will help you reset your focus—and start building a business that actually pays you. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of https://JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Are Walmart policies changing and maturing?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/VgoJPAapSSc   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 - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

There's a reason we start all new Amazon sellers in our community with the same proven, time tested, low risk, low cost, high odds of success model. It works. It's the core new seller model taught in our award winning ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and our coaching.   What is that model? Filling the underserved and unstocked shelf space at Amazon's 100s of warehouses in the US with common, boring and easily sourced inventory is simply a beautiful, expansive and fully automatable biz model - as evidenced by the 100s of success stories on our show!   But many new sellers go down different paths and regret it... What are the common paths that new sellers go down, and what are the risks and challenges of each of them? We talk about wholesale, private label, selling used books, thrifting and clearance aisle sourcing among other models and explain why they all pale in comparison to starting out with selling replenishables sourced easily online of from any authorized retailer.   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/C13ahVi8HGY   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! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + 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!

Hitting $10K–$20K a month feels like you’ve “made it” until you realize the bottom line doesn’t match the top. In this episode of Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating shift from simple growth to true scaling.   They share real coaching stories, personal business lessons, and vivid analogies (yes, even drums and bikes) to explain: Why working harder isn’t the same as building smarter The “book of business” mindset that keeps you from being sunk by a single ASIN How to spot when it’s time to bring in systems, capital, or partners The difference between vanity metrics and numbers that actually pay you   If you’ve ever wondered why your effort feels maxed out but your business isn’t moving the way you want, this conversation will help you see the road to scaling more clearly and give you permission to focus on the right levers instead of burning yourself out.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/rAi2b7SX7jY   Show note LINKS:   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 (US only) or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   My Silent Team Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam 100% FREE!

On today’s episode we hear from an online seller who has been in e-commerce on and off since the mid 90s!   He tried a lot of things that haven’t really amounted to much… until now!   Perhaps the most powerful thing he shares today is the fact that, “the game has never been as easy as it is right now” from his perspective.   He’s a big fan of the reselling strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training as well as the software that has completely systemized his approach to running a profitable Amazon business.   “I run out of money way before I run out of great inventory to buy.”   It’s amazing that we now have hundreds of episodes like this with successful students in our community!
