• #838: Considering launching a brand on Amazon? (or if you have a brand) - you need to hear this
    May 18 2024

    There's a little known program that's been around for nearly 15 years that gives $10K worth of paid ads (PayPerClick) from Google EVERY MONTH.

    It's easier to qualify than you can imagine.

    Odds are you DO NOT have a non-profit organization right now, but stick with me - you easily COULD have one in a matter of days, and then you'd have a massive advantage over those who are unaware of this opportunity.

    This is legit, legal ethical and above board. You can do this the RIGHT WAY and you'll love it I promise.

    Today's guest has helped 100s of brand owners navigate the process of securing free ads from Google to help grow brands while supporting great causes - via a non-profit org.

    If that sounds complex hearing it the first time, I understand, but this is a win-win-win unlike anything I've seen before. It's a creative, simple and elegant solution that should be considered by anyone who WANTS a brand or HAS a brand they are trying to grow online or on Amazon.

    They do ALL the work for you!

  • #836: Should you pursue your passions or profits when building your ecommerce income streams?
    May 16 2024

    Is it good advice or possibly dangerous advice to tell someone to "follow your passions"?

    Is it better to "pursue profits" instead of "following your passions"?

    Are there business models that you can become passionate about once you see the happy customers you've served well all lining up to say "thank you"?

    Which comes first, FEELING GOOD or TAKING ACTION?

    All these topics are important for a business building warrior, and I'd venture to say that nearly 100% of the scores of successful students in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com community have a great deal of clarity on this topic!

  • #835: What's the first and next right steps for YOU RIGHT NOW in building a beautiful online business?
    May 15 2024

    "Extraordinary success is sequential not simultaneous." Gary Keller

    That's the theme on today's podcast episode.

    Maybe you're asking...

    "What is the FIRST right step and the NEXT steps after for my current situation?" Let's talk about it!

    We've helped 1,000s of students find their way into profitable businesses through the ProvenAmazonCourse.com and other training opportunities, and based on that 20+ years of experience we can tell you that many people are caught in perpetual "study mode" instead of "take action" mode. What actions should you take NOW though in order to build a great future online?

    We'll tell you EXACTLY what is next for you - and it's nowhere near as difficult or expensive as you might be imagining!

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: How can I know if a small retail store is "safe" for sourcing as a reseller on Amazon?

  • #834: Virtually every Amazon seller can get $400 now just for doing this
    May 13 2024

    On average, every Amazon seller is owed between 1-3% of ALL SALES back from Amazon in lost reimbursements.

    These are funds that most sellers will never collected UNLESS they are constantly staying on top of all owed reimbursements from loss, damage, misplaced etc. inventory at Amazon FBA.

    Wouldn't it be cool if there was a company that charged you NOTHING to find all those reimbursements and get you the cash you're owed?

    Better yet, what if you could try them out and never pay them a penny out of pocket? (They only get paid a small cut when they find your money!)

    GETIDA is that service - and if you use this link to sign up FOR FREE:

    SilentJim.com/reimburse

    ...then, they have $400 in free reimbursements for you right now! They'll never charge you a penny for their services and you can drop out anytime - no commitment necessary!

    This really is a no brainer for anyone selling more than a few hundred dollars per month on Amazon.

    On today's podcast episode, I talk about the beauty of AMAZON RESELLING, the future of the Amazon selling business models and the elegant service created by GETIDA that puts more money in YOUR POCKET while never costing you a dime!

  • #831: Turning your Amazon inventory sourcing approach upside down
    May 8 2024

    Our newer ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students often ask questions like, “Where can I find a source that allows me to sell items for a profit on Amazon?”

    Typically these students are looking at the current or average recent buy box price on Amazon or the featured price and then setting about trying to find a "cheaper source".

    While there's some potential in that model, there's far lower hanging fruit for you to explore and that's the topic of today's new podcast episode.

    Today we turn the sourcing question upside down and ask this question instead:

    “Now that I know my cost of acquiring this item, what price will I need to sell this item for on Amazon in order to make a profit?"

    Next ask...

    "Are there ASINs that make my profitable price a reasonable goal?"

    Once you know how to look, the answer will be a resounding "YES" far more often that you might suspect!

    Let's talk about it on today's episode. Watch it pn our YouTubbe channel here: https://youtu.be/EVuDWkWXmQA

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What should I look for on a retail store receipt as a reseller on Amazon?
