On today's episode, we discuss the most common questions that we hear from, especially the newest members of our community who are considering launching an Amazon business using the strategies we've taught to so many.

The list of questions includes :

• What's the opportunity?
• What exactly will I be selling?
• Why is this model preferred over other models?
• What's the future look like for this model
• What are the risks of the Amazon model that you teach?
• Do I need any previous experience?
• What's the cost to get started?
• Will I be sourcing or handling the products myself?
• What other models are available to me besides the one you teach initially?
• What free help is available to me?

Did you know that we have numerous Amazon selling students in our community who are adding hundreds of products daily to their Amazon catalogues? They use 3Pmercury to comb through those products and decide which ones make the most sense to sell any given day. We are so confident in this process that we are now beginning to train virtual assistants (VA's) who can do this with and for you.

I talk about that on today's episode as well as a few other announcements for the weekend.

It seems like each successful Amazon reeller you meet has a slightly different approach to the collection of software that they are using to find success on Amazon. The question we tackle today is this, "What are the basic tools you'll need in order to most predictably establish and build a beautiful business using the model that we've seen work for literally thousands of our students?"

We discuss the basic starting requirements as well as what you'll need as you begin to scale. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to go buy a whole bunch of different software tools as a new seller. More experienced sellers will often have a collection of tools that they are using to help them manage and automate their business. Newer sellers however should avoid the Trap of thinking they must buy all of the tools up front in order to replicate that level of success. Let's talk through what it looks like to start with the basics and then scale over time as more tools are needed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the "crown jewel" of Amazon selling which is 3PMercury!

Today's guest is no newcomer to Amazon selling. He's been doing it as long as anyone you know trying various strategies, but it's never quite worked out in the end... until now.

He quit THREE TIMES before finally settling into the model that's set to produce a $60K month for him next month!

He discovered the ProvenAmazonCourse.com "replens" strategy paired with 3PMercury and he's now enjoying the most stable (and as of recently - HANDS FREE) system he's ever had! Hear the story in his own words on this new and inspirational episode!

A lot of Amazon sellers focus on finding the next winning product but that's not where the real advantage lives.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack why where you compete matters far more than what you sell. They connect timeless business strategy to today's FBA landscape, showing how sellers can use proven frameworks to make better decisions, protect profit, and build staying power.

You'll hear why chasing the Buy Box can quietly drain your margins, how systems outperform tools, and what actually separates the seven-figure sellers from the ones who stall out.

This is strategy made simple: practical, encouraging, and refreshingly honest for resellers who want real profit instead of vanity sales.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

It's 100% within policy (when done properly) and there are countless ASINs (products) you can do this with profitably.

Also - the course that teaches these strategies is on sale through mid-November 2025 at ProvenAmazonCourse.com/a2a
