We are NOT fans of dropshipping models in this community for very good reason. For every success story you'll hear, you'll hear 100 disaster stories. I'm convinced that the ONLY people who are truly excited about the model (at scale) are those who sell a course about it.
Today I discuss what dropshipping is, the only RIGHT way to do it, and perhaps best of all, a model that we are proving over and over again every day (with 100s of recent success stories from students) is far superior to dropshipping because it has ALL of the benefits, with none of the risks. Our model is also scalable, newbie friendly, sellable as an asset and can be entirely hand-free! Let us know what you think by joining our free Facebook group and sharing your feedback!

Amy has a full-time job and three kids, but she manages to work about 10 hours per week on her Amazon business where she earns well over $100/hr net profit with the replens strategy that we teach. Her business started growing steadily very soon after she invested in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and joined our coaching program. She hired a VA from our training service (a virtual assistant) who finds profitable inventory for her full-time for just a few dollars per hour. The VA works exclusively for Amy (see ProvenReplensVA.com for details). The future is bright for Amy and her young family. You'll love getting to know this determined single mom!

In this five minute episode I share how to have a seven figure, highly profitable (25-30% net) Amazon business without any expensive tools or software. Is that even possible? Let's answer that question now! As evidence I reference a presentation from Dec 2021 at our virtual event by a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student from our community named Oscar Mutumbo. He uses ONLY the inexpensive tool called "Keepa" to find as many profitable items as he can buy! He's added in a lot of hustle and his results are fantastic. He runs a two person operation (Oscar and his wife), and they've built an amazing seven figure business WITHOUT ANY pricey tools or software!

Often, sellers on Amazon report that they find a great product, start selling it and before long there are competitors driving down the price. It's the nature of all businesses actually, but there's a little used and very creative solution we've made available for our community! It's the ProvenBrandBuilding.com strategy. Not only can you launch a great ASIN on Amazon, you can protect it from competition and even get more "love" from Amazon while doing it because your "trust score" goes up! Today I talked with the director of our coaching team, Nate Bailey about the very creative strategy that we've been showing to several of our "inner core" students lately and I think you'll love what you're about to hear!

In this episode, Jimmy Smith talks through a recent success story from yet another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student! Pablo has an amazing story of persistence that took a couple years of struggling with expensive courses and private label dead ends until he found the Replens Arbitrage model! In his first partial year of doing Replens, he sold just over $77,000 in revenue and in his first full year of Replens (2021) he more than doubled that amount! He also recently broke $20,000 per month in sales with a healthy 50% ROI and 20% Profit Margin. In 2022 Pablo is going to expand his team, standard operating procedures, and his business.

Today's guest works full-time at his IT career job, but he's managed to build an incredible business in his spare time and he's in the process of completely automating it! After trying and failing at a few other ecommerce models, he finally found the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and he dove into it along with our coaching program (JimCockrumCoaching.com). About six months into his journey of selling using our unique REPLENS model, he had his first $10,000 month at a very healthy ROI as he explains in today's show. You'll also hear him talk about where he sources his products, how he's automating his systems with a VA (virtual assistant) who does a BUNCH of the work for him for $200 per month, as well as a few more very useful tips and motivating strategies. You'll love hearing from yet another exciting success story from our community!

If you made the unfortunate mistake of going to youtube to learn to sell on Amazon, odds are you're starting to feel the burn. You've been burned by spending 1000's on a course, 1,000s more on a coach, hundreds monthly on software and then 1000's more on tools, resources, experts and the list goes on and on. In the end, you're stuck with unsellable inventory. We've heard it OVER AND OVER for years. Sometimes I feel like our community is the "burn unit" of a hospital for Amazon sellers who had their dreams and hopes crushed. THere's a better way. Let's talk about it.
