On today’s episode, we discuss how simple it can be to ensure that you are tracking your numbers properly and making your life as simple as possible when it comes time to pay taxes.
You simply have to track your numbers and be able to report them accurately if you want to have a real business.
You could be spending your time building your business instead of trying to track and figure out your numbers - that's our topic on today's new podcast episode.

Today’s guest is Dave Clark with Humnbird bookkeeping.
In this "Coaches Corner" episode of Silent Sales Machine Radi*, hosts Brian and Robin Joy dive into Keepa, a crucial Amazon analytics tool.
They cover Keepa's origins as a consumer price tracker and its evolution into an essential resource for Amazon sellers.
Emphasizing three key metrics—velocity, capital protection, and potential profit—the hosts outline a beginner-friendly approach to using Keepa. The episode also includes a practical tip for interpreting Keepa data and ends with an inspiring message: "Let frustration fuel inspiration."
Our special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses registering on the Walmart selling platform, the suspension and reinstatements his firm has dealt with there and best practices for sellers on Walmart .com.

On today's all new episode we discuss Walmart!
Did you know that Walmart has now emerged as the best "add on" platform for Amazon sellers to use in order to diversify?
We are seeing great momentum in our community among resellers who simply "flipped" some of their unsellable inventory from Amazon to Walmart and were shocked at the results they achieved relatively quickly.
We have always been a multiple income stream community for business building warriors, and Walmart has clearly settled into the slot of our second favorite selling platform for those who pursue reselling.

Do you want more inventory that sells for great margins?
Today’s new podcast episode is a real eye opener - and you can deploy this strategy RIGHT NOW, TODAY at no charge or cost to you if you’re selling on Amazon.
You may not realize this, but I can prove that’s there’s easily sourced GOLD on retail shelves and online stores just waiting for you to flip it on Amazon at great margins…
EVEN IF THE STORE SHELF PRICE IS THE SAME AS THE PRICE ON AMAZON!
Read that again-
You’re probably making the same huge mistake that 99% of newer sellers are making… you’re obsessed with winning the “buy box” on Amazon in order to win sales.
You likely need to simply STOP being so “buy box” focused!
We estimate that 95% of all training for new Amazon sellers incorporates a focus on “winning the buy box” on Amazon, but on today’s episode we provide hard proof that …
you can win consistent sales well above buy box without ever winning the buy box
You can find 100s of thousands of potentially winning asins rapidly - a few minutes from now
You can test these products with nearly no chance of losing
You can source boring, common items from any retail store and do this model
We’ve helped 1,000s of students build businesses on Amazon with the help of our ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and coaching, and one of our favorite strategies is this “above buy box” method we developed. Today’s episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.

Feeling overwhelmed as a new Amazon seller? In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio's "Coaches Corner," Brian and Robin Joy share practical advice for those just starting out in the Amazon space.
They break down why you don't need to master every tool to get started (including Keepa), and why focusing on the basics leads to faster success. Learn the three key data points that matter, discover the power of the low-risk Replens model, and understand how to avoid common pitfalls that hold new sellers back.
If you're ready to simplify, test, and grow your Amazon business without overthinking every detail, this episode is for you!
Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the supply chain. He gives us the red flags to look for to make sure that your supply source is legitimate and authorized wholesale companies. We give a super helpful tip near the end which cuts through many of the steps to find products without going through the wholesaler.

Today's new podcast episode is a conversation with a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has been in our community for several years. She and her husband still work full-time jobs, but they've built a beautiful business on Amazon as sellers and they are quite proud of their achievements!
They do it all while squeezing it into the cracks of their busy lives with two young kids.
They shop for inventory ONLY online using "OA" strategies (as taught in the PAC course and learned from the coach they had on our team). One of my favorite parts of her story is the fact that she uses ONLY KEEPA and ONLY a couple of the the strategies from our training - and has done it for YEARS!
We are excited to welcome Lina (our guest today) onto our team as a coach as well!

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.
