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...

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...

Staring at the same Keepa chart for the third day in a row? Robin Joy introduces the concept of "data imprisonment" - when historical data becomes a cage instead of a compass. Brian and Robin Joy break down why Keepa shows you evidence of what happened, not proof of what will happen for YOU. They share real coaching examples of hidden Amazon Fresh competition, geographic blind spots, and why the only way to escape analysis paralysis is to test more ASINs.
