Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode. He had enjoyed a 27 year career at an executive level, but the prospect of being home building his own ecommerce business offered far more reward and a better lifestyle as well - so he's jumped in to being full-time online!

In 2025 he enjoyed $700K in sales at a whopping 21% net profit WHILE holding down his corporate career - and now that he's just gone full-time on Amazon, the future is VERY bright!

You did the work. You sourced it, prepped it, shipped it. So where's the money?

In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood phases of building an Amazon business: the quiet period. That stretch where your brain is screaming "nothing is working" but your pipeline is actually filling exactly like it should.

They break down the real timeline most new sellers experience versus the one they imagined, why your first shipment is basically the first pancake (nobody expects that one to be good), and what manufacturing concepts like cycle time and lead time have to do with your FBA results.

Plus, Robin Joy drops a James Clear ice cube analogy that might change how you think about quitting, and Brian explains why the sellers you admire at month nine aren't smarter or luckier. They just didn't turn off the heat at 31 degrees.

If you're in months one through four and wondering whether this thing actually works, this one's for you.

As you've likely heard by now, sourcing great ASINs (products) to sell on Amazon is getting easier almost by the day thanks to new tools and strategies we teach in our community.

Better yet, the demand for popular products delivered quickly to the 100s of millions of Amazon shoppers is exploding in growth - all that means HUGE opportunities for resellers who understand the game!

One tool that's helping sellers find loads of great asins quickly is a website scraping tool called Arbisource. We invited them onto the podcast today because so many users are reporting tremendous results using it! SilentJim.com/arb is the link to get a free trial of Arbisource. Today we meet the creator of Arbisource - Callum Boyd to discuss the prospects of being a reseller and learn about some of the features of this power tool that's making big waves in the U.K. and the U.S. among Amazon resellers.

Can you REALLY sell eight figures in sales shopping websites and flipping on Amazon!? YES YOU CAN!

A recent post in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com student support group recently sparked a hot conversation!

The seller showed off the sales graph for his EIGHT FIGURE OA business (Online Arbitrage). I reached out to ask for an interview, and today's episode is exactly that!

The opportunity to help fill the underserved shelf space on millions of products on Amazon is far BIGGER and expanding more RAPIDLY than any of us fully realize - and today's episode it just more proof.

Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month?

Think again.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers.

Here's what nobody tells you: Those "perfect" high-velocity listings? That's where opportunity goes to die. Meanwhile, the big players can't operate in the space you can. Volatility is their enemy. But for the agile seller? It's your greatest competitive advantage.

Brian breaks down the actual pricing spread data across velocity bands, explains why "messy" charts signal profit zones (not danger zones), and reveals how to read Keepa like a treasure map instead of a warning sign.

In this episode:

1. Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate

2. The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products

3. How to use "capital protection" to test listings with confidence

4. The Alex Hormozi video game analogy that reframes failure as mastery

5. What Thomas Edison knew about opportunity that most sellers miss

Ready to stop competing where the big guys dominate and start playing where they can't?

"I WISH I'D FOUND YOU SOONER!"
