Can you REALLY sell eight figures in sales shopping websites and flipping on Amazon!? YES YOU CAN! A recent post in our student support group recently sparked a hot conversation!

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...

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. As Yogi Berra said: "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is." ...

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:
-
Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate
-
The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products
-
How to use "capital protection" to test listings with confidence
-
The Alex Hormozi video game analogy that reframes failure as mastery
-
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?
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC establishment?" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!
