#1043: Three big reasons why right now is a great time for NEW sellers to get serious about Amazon selling
Silent Sales Machine Radio
Is it possible that sellers who start selling NOW have an advantage over those of us who started say, 4 years ago? I think so for several reasons! 1) Amazon has clarified several policies and enforcement is more consistent. 2) The tools and software we have now are incredible (i.e. automating a catalog of 1,000s of ASINs) and 3) the strategies we have available to us now are incredible compared to what we had even just a few years ago (example - finding above buy box ASINs) Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: Show note LINKS: SilentSalesMachine.com - Text...

#1042: Why you’re not getting results (even if you’re killing yourself)
Silent Sales Machine Radio

#1041: Amazon has slightly changed how it reports sales rank and resellers need to know the facts
Silent Sales Machine Radio
Today we have a three-way conversation between Jimmy Smith, Brian Olson and Jim. They discuss the recent changes in the way Amazon reports sales rank on ASINs and the fairly minimal but still significant change that this will have for some resellers as they use tools like Keepa to make good inventory buying decisions. They also spend some time talking about how AI might impact the reselling business in the future. It's a great conversation with a little something for everyone, but it's not the friendliest show for newbies, as some of the topics are fairly acronym-heavy. ...
