You'll be blown away by how few different ASINs (products on Amazon) today's guest is selling while running a robust multiple seven figure Amazon business using simple online sourcing strategies. With only a few dozen different products that he sources in bulk, he's getting incredible results!
He shares with us how he's maxed out the model of going deep on easily sourced, high demand, easily sourced products while buying online (not wholesale - all retail) in bulk. It's just another great way to build a beautiful business and I learned some great new insights that will expand the creativity of the models we teach here.
You'll love his examples, the simplicity of his model and the insights he has for anyone willing to listen.

The weekend episodes of our podcast contain important announcements as well as a great introduction to the community for anyone who is new to our community.
This episode includes announcements about our recent virtual The Proven Conference which was last week but recorded for folks who want to glean great business advice from our community experts and a place you can get support outside of Amazon forums. Our Facebook group! However, the Amazon seller forums can be used to escalate a problem that you may have as a seller so signing on there can be helpful since it's monitored by Amazon employees. We learned about this fairly new resource while attending the Amazon Accelerate Conference.

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.

SilentJim.com/keepa360 - A full walk through tutorial for everyone from BEGINNER to the most ADVANCED users of Keepa!
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.

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!

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.

We’ll also discuss the importance of KPIs, knowing your numbers, and the mindset needed for success. Tune in to strengthen your business acumen and set yourself up for long-term success on Amazon!
Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses deleting shipments to avoid split shipments and the possibility of how Amazon may hit you as a seller with fees even if you are using a prep center.

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!

Today's guest Taylor
If you were tasked with coming up with a list of characteristics of the perfect business model, what would you put on that list?
For me, I'd include things like low risk, flexibility, transportable (I can put my biz in my pocket and go anywhere), scalable, sellable someday (I want to build an asset), generates multiple opportunities for other income streams, all of the big trends in culture are in my favor (a growing market), a community of other people who are successfully doing the model that I can learn from and grow with, the ability to add family to my business if I choose to...
And for many people -
The ability to TEST and PROVE the biz model with a very small amount of capital and time (say, $500 or so).
What else would you add to your list of perfect business model characteristics?
I'm pretty sure we can PROVE that we have found the model that meets all these criteria... and more. It's what we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com "new seller" modules.
Let's talk about it. Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/VK79iKwBe3E

We love to see ProvenAmazonCourse.com students get off to a fast start with success early in their journey! Today's guest is a new PAC and coaching student who took action and already is seeing tremendous results.
Thanks to the training he received, he recently jumped on a listing on Amazon with 200+ other sellers and sold a TON of product (2,400 units). He sourced them from local Target stores (they cleared their inventory from storage for him).
The best part - he was the HIGHEST PRICED SELLER of all 200+ sellers!!
He was able to do this because he understands one of the core lessons from the PAC/replens training which is to look for UNDERSERVED shelf space at Amazon. Once you grasp that concept, there's opportunity everywhere.

We then jump back into our latest series, The 7 Core Competencies of Amazon Replens, where we explore the foundational skills needed for success in this business model.
