We hear many of the same questions from Amazon sellers who haven't yet started to succeed. It could be because they are just new to Amazon selling and don't know what they don't know, or maybe they are getting bad advice from watching a few too many youtube videos from "experts" who lack a track record of producing student success.
Regardless, on today's episode we share our top ten list of the "wrong questions" that we hear asked in our group and help direct you towards the PROVEN path to success that we've shared with so many other listeners to our podcast as well as students of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training.
Here's the list of questions covered:

New podcast episode alert!
After having coached and trained 1,000s of sellers to success in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com community, we've identified some powerful patterns!
There's only a handful of common mistakes that new sellers make, and if you can avoid these handful of mistakes then your odds of Amazon seller success SKYROCKETS! Amazon is growing so fast, and the "underserved shelf space" on millions of ASINs at their 100's of warehouses is getting easier to find, so new sellers have MORE advantages than they've ever had before.
Today we go over the list of the common BIG mistakes we see newbies (and other sellers) making, and we discuss what you should be doing instead.

What if you only needed a list of ASINs (Amazon listings) and then a powerful, low cost software took over and told you when to buy and when not to buy all the ASIN's on your list?
What if that tool was also a complete workflow tool for REPLENS sellers?
That's what Khang has built and he's used it to run a $3million Amazon reselling business virtually hands free. Better yet, we've beta tested the tool with 200 other students and it's working great!
This very well could be the greatest tool every created for Amazon resellers.
I think we are about to change the Amazon reselling business forever.

Online shopping (e-commerce) is still less than 20% of all retail spending.
Nearly 50% of all buying online in the US happens on Amazon.
Those numbers are going nowhere but BUT UP.
That's a big reason why we continue to love Amazon as the best starting point for the lowest possible risk, lowest possible cost and highest odds of success with a business online...
BUT!!!
What else is out there? What else are we excited about? What opportunities come on the heels of building a steady Amazon business and more importantly - how do you find those opportunities and pursue them? Let's talk about it!

What are the big trends in Amazon seller policies and enforcement?
On today's all new episode we spend some time diving into the latest news in the world of Amazon seller suspensions, policy enforcement and trends that all sellers should know about. It's a sit down chat with Jeff Schick (JeffSchick.com) - the most popular Amazon/Walmart seller policy expert and lawyer in our seller community.
Among other things we talk about
Bundles
Section 3 reviews
Proper sourcing
BOI report (what's that?! You need to know)
There's plenty of good news - Amazon is becoming increasingly predictable and seems to "get it right" in the end more and more often when it comes to policy enforcement for sellers!
Having a healthy selling account has never been a more valuable asset than it is now, and as under-informed or sellers of bad intent continue to unknowingly violate simple policies, the future looks very bright for well informed sellers who follow the rules!
If you'd like to learn to do Amazon the RIGHT WAY follow the path we've laid out in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com !
At the end of today's episode we also hear a Walmart seller success story that will inspire you! We also talk about automating the repricing of your Walmart inventory with Flash Pricer SilentJim.com/flash

Today's guest Jeff Schick
In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, co-hosts Brian and Robin Joy share a crucial message for new and aspiring entrepreneurs in the replenishable business space: focus on sourcing. They explain why mastering sourcing in the first 8–12 weeks—or through your first 8–12 shipments—will set you apart from 99.9% of others starting the same journey.
From understanding the importance of testing ASINs to overcoming the hurdles of early-stage inefficiencies, Brian and Robin provide actionable insights and motivational guidance. They discuss the challenges of incremental progress, the importance of embracing the learning curve, and why staying laser-focused on sourcing early is key to long-term success.
The discussion dives into strategies for scaling, introducing tools and automation to make your business more efficient once you’ve mastered the fundamentals.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is packed with valuable tips to help you stay on track and grow your business.
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 guest Jesse McDermott
After having coached nearly 10,000 students over 20 years in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com programs, we've noticed some distinct patterns.
Would you like to know what I've noticed about those who find success vs. those who don't?
I'd estimate that I could diagnose your level of success just by asking you a few personal questions that have nothing to do with business or success.
Questions like:
"When you face a challenge do you tend to complain publicly about it?"
"What are you daily and weekly good habits?"
"How do you feel about meeting new people?"
The answers to those questions have a lot more to do with business success than you might realize! Let's talk about it!

We've easily seen 50 or more major changes for Amazon sellers over the 14+ years we've been selling on Amazon and teaching Amazon selling strategies.
There's a pattern with these changes.
The fourth quarter of the year seems to be when Amazon always rolls out a few surprises.
In light of the new challenges, what new advice do we have for sellers both new and experienced?
Is the opportunity on Amazon still viable for sellers?
Does the future look bright or are there shifts coming?
What are the big indicators that tell the whole story?
How much concern should we have about all of this?
Good news - we are seeing plenty of great signs, but let's discuss it!
Today's new podcast episode will help especially newer sellers process the emerging challenges and opportunities with reselling on Amazon

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy delve into the crucial concept of testing ASINs, a key strategy for Amazon sellers. They explore what testing actually means, the different ways to approach it, and how it can minimize risks while maximizing profits.
Brian and Robin use relatable analogies—from testing shower temperatures to clinical trials—to explain why starting small is important before making big inventory commitments.
Tune in as they share practical tips on effective testing, discuss the benefits of gaining real selling experience, and emphasize the value of building trust with Amazon through successful transactions. Whether you're a seasoned seller or just getting started, this episode will help you develop a smarter approach to testing your products.
Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses transparency and enrolling in the Amazon program to keep your account health rating good. He gives us insight in how to get the transparency codes as a retail arbitrage seller and preventative measures to help ensure that your account is not flagged.

Today's guest Doyl Peck
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.
