There's a reason why we have more success stories in our community than any other E-commerce community I've ever seen. It's a combination of several things. The 20+ years experience succeeding with E-commcere, eBay & Amazon, the team of 60+ coaches with beautiful businesses, proven strategies that are carefully vetted and tested for months before we dare share them with our community and perhaps most importantly...
We start virtually ALL of our students with the same basic skills that ensure they EARN while they LEARN.
Today I go through some of the exciting strategies we have coming soon that are all built on the foundation of the basics strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.
Bottom line: 2023 will end with amazing new records being set, and 2024 will be the greatest opportunity E-commerce business building warriors have ever seen!
At the end of the episode we are also excited to bring you a success story about how a student (who is now a coach) went from about $4K per month in profits to tens of thousands monthly with a creative funding solution! Sam Koch from AccrueMe at https://SilentJim.com/funding

The interview portion of today's episode was recorded BEFORE the terrorist attack in Israel. The episode is with a good friend of mine - Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife Susan who are currently in Israel on a business trip.
One of the lessons he taught me about being a business building warrior is that you never allow things that are out of your control to steal your attention from those responsibilities that are under your control. One of those responsibilities (even during times of uncertainty) is your BUSINESS!
If you want some practical insight into timeless truths - the very timeless truths that have shaped my business and the numerous Lapin fans in our community for over 15 years, then this is an episode that you'll cherish.
This episode is a bit different from the norm, but our guest today LOVES our ProvenAmazonCourse.com family and is also our keynote speaker at our upcoming May 2024 live event in Orlando FL (TheProvenConference.com event)

This segment will be a huge encouragement to new sellers who are struggling to get momentum or who are having difficulty staying motivated! Jim talks about “bringing dad’s home” as the core mission of his work!
We covered episode #618 - This Coaching Student's journey is a journey of mindset and consistency. You can listen to the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast
Highlights compiled by the podcast team:
Jim and the guest also discuss how important mindset and relationships are in this Amazon journey! Jim also praises the guest for the intentionality in his prayers regarding his business and learning! Jim summarizes the coaching program and how it builds relationships with future leaders in our community, which is the biggest asset of the program!
Jim shares resources that have been helpful for him in his ecommerce business: Evangelprenurer (Josh Tolley) and The Gathering Storm: Decoding the Secrets of Noah (Rabbi Daniel Lapin). The guest also mentions a book he found helpful: The Household and the War for the Cosmos (C.R. Wiley).
The guest talks about his 1st $10,000 month in sales but also shares his struggles in maintaining momentum!
Jim says that without even meeting someone, he can tell them their future by simply asking some questions: Who are your friends? What are your habits / your discipline? How do you treat women? How consistent are you?
Jim talks with the guest about how his business is currently doing and suggests toys as a great category to start selling in again now that the safety certificates are largely taken care of. There is a great module in PAC on how to streamline the prepping and shipping process, which Jimmy Smith and Pablo Aguilar put together.
The guest asks Jim how to know when a seller is ready to access outside funding! Jim says if you’ve tracked your numbers, know your net margins and are confident in your ability to find winning ASINs.
The guest offers a few additional tips: be consistent, track numbers, build relationships and don’t be afraid to ask for help (“cheat code”!)

On today's all new podcast episode we meet two friends who've know each other since the 6th grade and together they've built a successful business using the provenamazoncourse.com strategies that you've heard so many of our podcast guests rave about!
They've done everything from Etsy, to books and bulk purchases, but their business stabilized and they had their first ever seven figure year with the REPLENS model that has been the foundation of so many great success stories!
They are now getting into branded bundles (as taught in the ProvenBrandedBundles.com course) as well as wholesaling (as taught in the PAC) and they have big plans for the future.
They've had their share of challenges along the way that they share with transparency, but they are moving forward with a great business, determination and a stronger friendship than ever. It was truly great getting to know them during this interview!

Guests:
Dawn and Mary - first name only upon request
If you've heard some of the 100's of success story interviews among new Amazon sellers on our podcast, you've likely say many times that, "You should be looking for ASINs instead of 'winning products' on Amazon"
What does that mean? How do you do it? How can we help you like we've helped so many others?
Today's episode explains the systems we've created that will help you find the opportunity hiding right under your nose on Amazon. It's the REPLENS system - and it's where we start 95% of all our new Amazon selling students. You'll enjoy hearing the strategy spelled out step by step today with the Olson's - two great coaches on our team.

I've worked with virtual assistants around the world to help grow and scale my business for over 15 years. Today I share some practical tips and strategies for finding great workers who can help you grow - often for just a few dollars ($3-$4/hr). What jobs can they take on? How do you narrow down the candidates quickly if you get 100s or more candidates applying? Isn't paying them $3-$4 exploitation? What jobs do these VA's do for Amazon sellers? What strategy should you use to train them?
All these questions and more are addressed as I share my best tips and strategies for working with VA's to help build your provenamazoncourse.com business, or any other business that can benefit from a virtual workforce!

Once per week or so our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible.
We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions for you and turn them into a podcast episode.
Highlights compiled by the podcast team:
Jim opens the Facebook Live session with some general introductory comments before he dives into answering listeners’ questions!
Jim reminds the listeners that we make our money when we buy our inventory! It’s essential to make good buying decisions! REMEMBER: we are looking for test worthy ASINs, not “winning products!”
A listener wants to know if it is possible to start your business with no money to invest!? Jim says YES, definitely! Podcast episode #369 will help sellers learn Keepa in order to make good buying decisions!
A new seller asks Jim about creating new listings and how to go about hopping on existing listings! Jim clarifies some misconceptions about the Amazon forums!
Jim discusses how nothing is “typical” when it comes to starting a business! But he does emphasize that for people who are really willing to work hard, there are many success stories! Proof of concept can come quickly with the replens model!
Coach Robin Joy gives some Q4 tips for sellers and also highly recommends the Kick Start Boot Camp for new PAC members! It’s a great way to get your Amazon business up and running!
Jim reminds new sellers of some very important tips to remember! 1) Do not set up new listings, 2) Do not do the private label method to start, and 3) do not do pay per click (PPC)! Rather, the goal is to look for and identify underserved listings to sell on!
John is saying "congrats on the upcoming 10 year anniversary…” Jim talks about the upcoming 10 year anniversary of the My Silent Team Facebook page and the incredible success the group has seen over the years!
Jim issues a warning to new sellers that Private Label is NOT the place to start! Our community has seen many sellers find us after losing a lot of money starting with PL!
Jim answers the listener’s question in providing guidance where to start as a new seller: In the PAC, there is a “Getting started” section that will lead you to Amazon 101, Keepa, and the RA Replenishable course. Coaching is also an option as well - silentjim.com/coaching
Jim likes to look for 1) underserved listings with fewer sellers (5-7 sellers, 30-40 drops/month) and 2) anything that is dropping more than 40-50 times per month (regardless of how many sellers). Podcast episode #554 is a great listen about pricing your items and ignoring the buy box!
Jim recommends the oasimplified.com course for help with sourcing. Additionally, https://provenbotsourcing.com is a system for scraping websites to help find test worthy ASINs
Jim talks about doing RA via wholesale sourcing! Podcast #369 for more information on Keepa - this is essential! More information is coming regarding a wholesale mastermind group!

There are many ways to go wrong when you are starting out your Amazon business building journey.
A few examples:
>Going all in on a private label brand leads to extreme disappointment about 95% of the time
>Buying from sources that aren't legit (closeouts, liquidations, "done for you models", warehouses that do the buying for you etc) These can all lead to sudden death for your account
>Going too deep to fast on what you think is great inventory
...the list is long and we've seen it all.
There are also some great lessons you can learn along as you grow. Not all "mistake money" needs to be high risk!
That's the topic of today's new "Coaches Corner" podcast episode.
A big reason we strongly suggest new students start with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course (only $39/month) is because the training has a proven track record of getting our students real results. There are 100s of great interviews on our podcast with those students if you'd like to hear some of them!
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of https://JeffSchick.com answers the question: What should a seller do when I get an IP complaint

It's a rare occasion when an Amazon executive sits down with an Amazon podcaster to do an interview addressing sellers. To my knowledge, today is quite possibly an industry first!
It was truly and honor to be honest.
Claire O'donnell is the director of Seller Partner Empowerment and "Communities & Trust" at Amazon. She's has about 700 employees in her organization at Amazon who are all in "seller facing" positions - meaning they are focused on building connections and trust with sellers like you and me - in other words, provenamazoncourse.com students.
Her teams manage things like the Account Health Dashboard, the Seller Support Team, the Seller Forums and the Amazon Accelerate event which was attended recently by 2,500 of your fellow sellers from around the world in Seattle. We were there and had the honor of interviewing Claire for a few minutes during her busy schedule as the primary host of the incredible event.
Perhaps the biggest win for us at the event (and for you as well) is that we continue to build great relationships with seller facing personalities at Amazon - and that helps us stay better in tune with the true opportunities that Amazon represents for all of us.
While we had scheduled 30 minutes with Claire, her schedule was understandably shortened due to the tight schedule of the Amazon Accelerate event, but we did get in some solid questions and this is a great step in the direction of building solid relationships on both sides of the Amazon/seller aisle.

Questions and comments:
Jim gives an overview of the My Silent Team team and community and how we are all here to help one another - it's the abundance vs scarcity approach!
Jim discusses creating multipacks and warns against new sellers doing this. HIs recommendation instead is to do the Amazon 101 course in PAC, the Replenishable model and then the Kick Start Bootcamp.
A listener asks Jim about his Bitcoin talk at the conference, which was not recorded due to A/V issues, however, Jim recommends a book called The Bitcoin Standard (by Saifedean Ammous) and has also recorded a Biblical defense of Bitcoin. Silentjim.com/BB to watch a video
Robin Joy and Jim talk about Replens and the 4th quarter! If sellers have taken a break from selling toys, now is a great time to revisit them now that many of the safety certificates have been submitted
A new seller asks Jim to elaborate on what the following terms mean: RA (retail arbitrage) and Replens (the model). He also asks Jim to discuss FBA vs FBM and which is recommended
Jim discusses the process of getting ungated and mentions categories that are good for new sellers to start with. Also, in the MST Facebook group, the hourglass icon at the top right corner of the page can be used to search for “ungated” or “ungating” for many posts discussing this further
Jim discusses how a toy can be a replen and the importance of reading Keepa to determine if it is a good ASIN to sell on. Podcast Episode #369 for additional Keepa training
Jim reassures the listeners that it does not need to be a big deal when Amazon changes their policies because it happens with frequency. Sellers just need to be ready to pivot, roll with the changes
A seller outside the US asks Jim if the Kick Start Bootcamp is helpful for those who sell from outside the US and use a prep center. Jim explains what it means to sell on underserved ASINs and how to identify those with Keepa. Jim prefers to use the phrase “test worthy ASIN!”
Today we meet a seven figure Amazon seller who has built her dream business around her core mission. She wanted to have a business that employed special needs and physically challenged adults- giving them the dignity of work while building a profitable business serving happy customers... and she's done it with BRANDED BUNDLES (the same way we teach it in the ProvenBrandedBundles.com course!)
Check this out - one of her best workers assembling her bundles is legally blind, but he is a top performer making invaluable contributions!
I LOVE working with and learning from Business Building Warriors like today's guest Kim Shanahan! You're going to love this 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. We recommend their affordable systems and solutions giving you everything you need for your wholesale and private label business even overseas!

Guest: Kim Shanahan
Having a balanced book of business on Amazon means having stability. How can this be achieved? That's the topic we discuss today!
It'll take some work at first and it will be hard before it's easy, but this is the necessary path every true Business Building Warrior must go down!
We also announce our upcoming Virtual Conference to help kick off the fourth quarter! Unlike past years, we are offering our Q4 training at NO COST to our PROVENAMAZONCOURSE.COM and coaching students! Come join us! Details are at TheProvenConference.com - the virtual event goes down Oct 4-6th!
Hope to see you there!
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the odds of a permanent suspension if I sell on Amazon using the REPLENS strategies or other strategies taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course?"

Amazon recently hosted 2,500+ sellers at their Seattle headquarters and we were honored to be invited to attend at no charge as "media". I think they wanted us there because of the popularity/influence of our podcast, but regardless - it was a huge honor to attend at no charge!
On this episode Nathan Bailey (my 20 year coaching director) and I discussed the event, what we learned and make some observations about what we think the future holds for Amazon sellers.
We also discuss a bit of what's in store for those who attend our upcoming VIRTUAL conference designed to help you take full advantage of the opportunities that come with the fourth quarter - the busiest shopping season of the year online! Did I mention is FREE for all provenamazoncourse.com and coaching students! Get details at TheProvenConference.com/virtual2023

Listen to the full episode - Episode 653: Branded bundles on Amazon have changed her life at https://silentjim.com
Highlights:
The guest shares how she’s always wanted to be an entrepreneur and during Covid, she came upon the Amazon opportunity which was low risk so she was highly interested!
The guest shares how she initially did the Replens module in The Proven Amazon Course (using RA and OA to source inventory) and then started creating her own bundles. She loved the creativity and joy involved in creating her own listings.
Jim discusses the scarcity vs abundance approach that our group takes and how we are here to help each other rather than viewing one another as competitors!
The guest discusses how Amazon recommends items that buyers tend to buy together and she used that as the basis for creating bundles. They also discuss the importance of being able to pivot as an entrepreneur when things with Amazon change.
Jim and the guest discuss how her replen journey has morphed into bundles but the foundation for her creative bundles are replens!
The guest discusses A+ content and adding videos to her bundles and talks about her decision to become a coach on Jim’s team!
The guest shares the incredible numbers that she is bringing in with her bundles! She and Jim also discuss using VA’s to help outsource some of her business
She talks about systems and processes that have been so incredibly helpful for her business to help avoid “holes in the bucket.”Jim also mentions a tool called Sellerboard at silentjim.com/numbers that can be helpful for business!

Episode #613 - Four months into AZ Replens and these lifelong friends are seeing exciting results
HIghlight notes:
The guests talk about starting their Amazon selling and discuss The My SIlent Team facebook page, The Proven Amazon course (PAC), Keepa, coaching and how they got up and running! Jim also mentions that he is more interested in hearing about the trajectory of someone’s business and validation of the concept rather than the actual numbers per se
The guests discuss their sourcing methods - OA (online arbitrage) and RA (retail arbitrage), using Tactical Arbitrage (TA), and how important spreadsheets are for their business
Jim discusses Oasimplified.com, which is a module inside the PAC, that teaches how to use TA as a tool to find replens
Jim discusses the guests’ ROI and profit margin as they get off to a great start! “The more you know, the more you grow!” is the guests’ motto. Jim also discusses “the why” behind all the teaching that he and his team do!
Jim asks the guests to talk about the “bad decisions” they’ve made, which in reality, are minimal when doing the replens model! Jim also takes the opportunity to mention some things that friends should consider when going into business together, as these guests have done
The guests mention some tips for newer sellers - 1) stay positive (mindset) 2) have determination 3) know your why and your goals. Jim also mentions the Provenproductpartnering.com course (in the PAC), which teaches how to partner with brands to get them on Amazon
Jim emphasizes that mindset and relationships are critical building blocks for your business! Jim also reminds the listeners that there are only 3 things you need to get started: Amazon selling account, Keepa and the Proven Amazon Course. The Kick Start course, which is available to new PAC members, is a great way to get your business off to a great start!

KICKSTART Bootcamp - Brand New to Amazon and REPLENS? All students of the provenamazoncourse.com course who've not yet made their first REPLENS sale will benefit greatly from this series of live (and recorded of course) zoom group sessions with a coach - it's only $39! Contact Support@SilentSalesMachine.com for details especially if you are a PAC student.
Questions and comments:
Jim shares how we are a community working together and not competitors working against each other! The primary reason behind Jim’s teaching is because only 16-18% of all retail economic activity is online so there is a lot of opportunity for everyone! He also reminds the listeners how important relationships are in building your business!
New sellers should watch this video to learn what the replens model is: https://Silentjim.com/introvideo.
Jim explains how often times another seller will provide the safety certificate that is needed for the listing (only 1 seller has to provide it). So an approach can be to just sit on your inventory for a little while and wait for someone else to provide it (if you aren’t able to locate it yourself)
Jim reminds the listeners that we are looking for underserved ASINs, not winning products! Jim encourages newer sellers to listen to Podcast #554 - Ignore the Amazon “buy box” more if you want to sell more Amazon Replens. Remember the “rule of 3” - if you buy it for $8, then you’ll want to sell it for $24. Also, it’s highly recommended that new sellers join the KickStart Boot Camp (must be a Proven Amazon Course student)
How are results and feedback…” Provenbotsourcing.com is a program that scapes retail websites which helps sellers find potential replens. It’s proving to be a very effective way to source but certainly not the only way
Jim discusses what IP concerns are and explains how to look at the Keepa graph to determine if this might be a concern - look for the “skateboard ramp of death.” Jeff Schick is an attorney that is vetted with Jim’s program and is highly recommended for any legal assistance needed
Jim discusses Amazon to Amazon flips and how to go about doing that properly - do not use prime discount for ordering
The guest mentions Coach Susan Gilbert’s “micro goals to macro visions” and talks about how slow and steady is the way to build your business! Jim also discusses pricing and how it can be challenging for new replen sellers
Jim explains the difference between scanning barcodes (Easter egg hunt model) vs searching for underserved ASINs on Amazon. Nathan mentions “spokes in the marketing world” and how much opportunity there is for selling online! Nate mentions Jim’s candlelight vs cake analogy
Jim answers the guest’s question regarding how to get the most value out of the coaching program! Jim again recommends newer sellers listen to podcast episode #554 - “Ignore the Amazon buy box more if you want to sell more Amazon replens!” The head of the coaching team, Nathan Bailey, also adds to the discussion on the coaching program! Jim summarizes by saying, “Stay encouraged with the team (other sellers), go faster with a coach!”
Jim answers the guest’s question about how to best balance time! Nathan suggests using a business journal to help manage time in order to be successful and mentions the 4 D’s in business - 1) Do It, 2) Delegate it, 3) Drop it, 4) Delay it
On today's all new episode we dive into the topic of selling BRANDED BUNDLES on Amazon.
We are super excited to launch ProvenBrandedBundles.com!
We've been seeing some exciting success stories and momentum on our team lately with this concept! One of our students discussed today has all 40 of his branded bundle listings on Amazon on FIRE (all of them are doing well!)
There's a lot to love about doing bundles the right way on Amazon. You have easily sourced inventory on a unique ASIN (listing) that's impossible for others to sell against because one or more of the items in the bundle is something that ONLY you can source. When set up properly, you can see amazing results.
There are pitfalls to avoid, and you definitely DO NOT want to blindly guess your way through setting these up, but WOW - this is a powerful strategy for those ready to do the work!

Today's all new podcast episode will be great for our newer Amazon selling students who don't quite understand the difference between looking for "profitable products" and "filling underserved shelf space at Amazon".
Get in the flow...that's the big lesson today!
Are you over complicating the process of building a business on Amazon? Part of the beauty of being an Amazon seller is that you benefit from all the work that Amazon does in attracting millions of buyers to their site, and countless brands (including millions of brands that YOU can sell) are attracting buyers to YOUR LISTINGS!
In other words, success for especially our newest provenamazoncourse.com students is NOT a matter of "finding profitable products", it's a matter getting in the game on fast moving products, underserved listings and test-worthy ASINs that offer a high chance of moving at a profitable price for you.

Added segment - Alex from Sellerboard discusses the features and advantages of this tool. Special pricing can be found at: silentjim.com/numbers
Questions and comments:
Jim discusses the frustration that some new sellers experience with being gated in so many categories / brands. New sellers can start selling in: arts & crafts, sporting goods, pets (not pet food), household goods - kitchen / bath, office supplies
Jim offers guidance on how to go about testing replens
Jim reminds new sellers, if you want to learn more about Keepa, go listen to podcast episode #369. Jim also reminds the listeners that “Once a coaching student, always a coaching student!”
Among Replen sellers, there are about 35-40 different tools that sellers can possibly use! Selleramp has a great reputation and is similar to RevSeller. Just remember - the most important data point when making replens decisions is - is this a test worthy ASIN? - which is what Keepa will tell you! Keepa is the most important tool to use! There are affiliate links available for Revseller and Selleramp
Jim offers the following suggestions for building relationships: 1) Relationships differentiate the people who make it vs those who don’t! 2) My Silent Team FB group allows you to enter your location and see other sellers who live nearby! 3) “There is no such thing as a neutral interaction!” 4) Kickstart boot camp helps new sellers get a jump start to their business! 5) Brian and Robin Joy Olson are hosting The 100 ASIN course in Salt Lake City in mid September. Podcast Episode #658 has more information regarding this!

Guest: Paul Saucier
How does the Amazon selling model that we call "REPLENS" compare to the other businesses "opportunities" that are available to all of us?
If you're like me, you've tried and failed at many models.
I now consider any biz opportunity based on these factors:
Learning required
Odds of sustained success
Overall costs and risk
Quality of the community of people working that biz model
etc.
How does Amazon selling stack up?
We love and teach the Amazon models we teach in the provenamazoncourse.com course because those models scores so well for ALL of the above factors!
You'll benefit greatly from understanding our "Low Low High" litmus test... look for low risk, low learning curve and high odds of success businesses like we do!
That's the topic we tackle today with the coaching leaders from our team - Brian and Robin Joy Olson.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What rules and laws are most important as I get into creating bundles?
