#1058: What are the best and worst starting point business models if you're new to Amazon selling or are struggling so far?? 09/02/2025

#1058: What are the best and worst starting point business models if you're new to Amazon selling or are struggling so far?? There's a reason we start all new Amazon sellers in our community with the same proven, time tested, low risk, low cost, high odds of success model. It works. It's the core new seller model taught in our award winning training and our coaching. What is that model? Filling the underserved and unstocked shelf space at Amazon's 100s of warehouses in the US with common, boring and easily sourced inventory is simply a beautiful, expansive and fully automatable biz model - as evidenced by the 100s of success stories on our show! But many new sellers go down different paths and regret it... What are the common paths that new sellers go down, and what are the risks and challenges of each of them? We talk about wholesale, private label, selling used books, thrifting and clearance aisle sourcing among other models and explain why they all pale in comparison to starting out with selling replenishables sourced easily online of from any authorized retailer.

#1055: From growth to scale: Why doubling effort won’t double your business Hitting $10K–$20K a month feels like you’ve “made it” until you realize the bottom line doesn’t match the top. In this episode of Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating shift from simple growth to true scaling. They share real coaching stories, personal business lessons, and vivid analogies (yes, even drums and bikes) to explain: Why working harder isn’t the same as building smarter The “book of business” mindset that keeps you from being sunk by a single ASIN How to spot when it’s time to bring in systems, capital, or partners The difference between vanity metrics and numbers that actually pay you If you’ve ever wondered why your effort feels maxed out but your business isn’t moving the way you want, this conversation will help you see the road to scaling more clearly and give you permission to focus on the right levers instead of burning yourself out.

#1053: "I've been in e-commerce since the 90s and it's never been this straightforward to succeed" On today’s episode we hear from an online seller who has been in e-commerce on and off since the mid 90s! He tried a lot of things that haven’t really amounted to much… until now! Perhaps the most powerful thing he shares today is the fact that, “the game has never been as easy as it is right now” from his perspective. He’s a big fan of the reselling strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training as well as the software that has completely systemized his approach to running a profitable Amazon business. “I run out of money way before I run out of great inventory to buy.” It’s amazing that we now have hundreds of episodes like this with successful students in our community!

#1050: The Eiffel Tower effect: Your business doesn’t start beautiful 08/13/2025

#1050: The Eiffel Tower effect: Your business doesn’t start beautiful In this Coaches Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy tackle a truth that every Amazon seller, and every business owner, needs to hear: success doesn’t start out looking like success. Drawing on stories from their early days (including apartment prep chaos, failed inspections, and a very confused schnauzer named Rudy), they unpack why disorder is not a sign of failure; it’s proof you’re building. Using analogies from the Eiffel Tower to busy restaurant kitchens, they show you how to navigate setbacks without losing momentum, create systems in real time, and turn clunky repetitions into smooth, repeatable habits. Whether you’re facing your first IP complaint or just struggling to keep your prep space organized, this episode will remind you: the mess is part of the plan, and consistency will beat perfection every time.

#1046: Laid off, locked out, and all in: Mike Alte’s Amazon turnaround What happens when you lose your job in your fifties and the job market shuts its doors? For Mike Alte, the answer was resilience, resourcefulness, and a crash course in Amazon selling.

#1043: Three big reasons why right now is a great time for NEW sellers to get serious about Amazon selling 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 the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online (US only) or visit - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.

#1042: Why you’re not getting results (even if you’re killing yourself) 07/30/2025

#1042: Why you’re not getting results (even if you’re killing yourself) If you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back. They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You’ll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and what it looks like to move with inevitability instead of fear. This is a mindset shift every seller needs to hear. You don’t need more hustle. You need a better story about what success actually takes.

#1041: Amazon has slightly changed how it reports sales rank and resellers need to know the facts 07/28/2025

#1041: Amazon has slightly changed how it reports sales rank and resellers need to know the facts 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. Bottom line: the opportunity is only getting better, and the tools/strategies are getting better in the ever-expanding ocean of opportunity that is "Amazon reselling" This episode also discusses why NOW is the best time to get into the training because you can LOCK IN your monthly fee before the major price increase happens later this summer and all new students will be paying far more than your low grandfathered rate for this world class and constantly improving training!
