Is there a truly turnkey model of selling on Amazon? I know there is because we've seen it happen for our students time and time again. It's frustrating though to watch day after day we see sellers crash and burn and them come (literally crying in many cases) into our community. Our coaching team sees a steady stream of students who got BURNED trying to launch a private label product on Amazon as their first adventure online - and eventually (after months of learning and investing) they failed m...

Today we meet a student who knows what it means to work hard for a living. He's worked many jobs and started (and lost) several businesses, but he's thrilled to have found the stability, flexibility and scalability of having an Amazon business based on the ProvenAmazonCourse.com replens model. He's a 1 1/2 man show (his 9 year old homeschooled daughter helps him out), and he's more than replaced the income from his 90hr per week job! There's more good news - we've just brought him on board as ou...

Can you sell an item alongside 125 other sellers and still make a profit? Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who did just that and sold hundreds of units weekly! In fact she sold about $400K last year at healthy margins! She's also a JimCockrumCoaching.com coaching student who has been in full-time ministry for about 25 years with her husband and also homeschools their kids. Before she joined our community and began listening to our podcast, she sold only on eBay until Spring of 2...

We've coached 7,000 students over the past 18 years, and we have hundreds of recent success stories among our Amazon seller students. Virtually all of the most recently successful students have a few things in common (besides our ProvenAmazonCourse.com training of course). They ARE NOT looking for "keywords" and they are not looking for "profitable products". This may seem strange, but I explain our unique and VERY proven system in this episode. It's quite simple actually and it's helping our st...

Today's guest had almost no computer experience and no ecommerce experience before becoming a student of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. She's finding more profitable products than she can keep up with using our strategies! She's built a beautiful business and is on track to do between $500,000-$600,000 in sales this year with a small team. She works about 5-6 hours daily because she wants to, but her business is nearly fully automated. She sold nearly $350K at great margins her first full ye...

Today we meet a married couple who have an incredible Amazon business story! They started out as ProvenAmazonCourse.com students and now our coaching team has grown with both of them now on board as coaches! They have a fully outsourced Amazon business model - meaning they aren't doing any packing or shopping themselves. It's pretty incredible. Better yet, they have a system that they've devised (using keepa in a creative way) to generate lists of sourceable REPLEN inventory ideas anytime they w...

He wants the stability of having a replens business as well. He's a JimCockrumCoaching.com student with an impressive business, but we are helping him scale and diversify his income with our proven system. His goal is to be full-time working from home within a few shorts months as he and his wife are expecting their first child ...

Let's compare getting a college degree to getting an ecommerce education and launching a business online. Which one gives you a flexible lifestyle? Which one gives you a shot at financial independence? Which one is trending towards more relevant? I won't answer these questions for you, but I will make some observations so you can hopefully answer these questions with a new perspective in mind. Did you know that some colleges are using the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course as curriculum for entrepren...

Let's imagine and discuss the perfect "inflation proof" business model. A model that is flexible enough and stable enough to weather the storm of economic instability. Here's the question I'll tackle today - Is the Amazon "replens" model as close to a "perfect business" as you can find for a period of high inflation? There are many reasons to think so - let's talk about it! Check out this episode sponsor - Payoneer.com . Skip the credit checks and learn more about bringing your eCommerce vision ...

Today's guest is a true multiple income stream warrior, but she says her foundation is the same Amazon replens model that we've taught to so many of our students. Just like you've heard on dozens of recent episodes of this podcast, the strategies of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course simply work and today's guest is more proof! Our guest today started with ZERO working capital as a single mom, so she had to get creative in order to ramp up her business. You'll love the way she found thousands of ...

Do you want yet another reason to love the Amazon Replens model that is creating the dozens of recent success stories that you've been hearing on this podcast? The ProvenAmazonCourse.com is cranking out successful Amazon seller stories faster than any other model you've ever seen for one reason - it works and we have the formula dialed in! Consider the concept of "loss leaders" and "dead inventory". Most stores or online sellers have to deploy "loss leaders" to get customers into the stores, or ...

Michael is only a few days away from leaving his full-time public school teaching career behind as he and his wife are now earning far more from their online business than they ever could have with his teaching career.

Many of those success story interviews can be found right on this podcast if you scroll back a few weeks or months there are dozens of recent examples.

Today we visit a single mom who is using the Amazon Replens model to fully pay the bills as she works very flexible hours (just a few per day) and homeschools her six kids aged 13-6. She's an amazing leader in our community who has created some of the content in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course as well. She shares how she finds replens so easily, her system for automating the process and how she's even managed to squeeze in writing a great book that's now published! Today's guest: Honey Woods W...

We are NOT fans of dropshipping models in this community for very good reason. For every success story you'll hear, you'll hear 100 disaster stories. I'm convinced that the ONLY people who are truly excited about the model (at scale) are those who sell a course about it. Today I discuss what dropshipping is, the only RIGHT way to do it, and perhaps best of all, a model that we are proving over and over again every day (with 100s of recent success stories from students) is far superior to dropshi...

A full-time public school teacher is today's guest.

Today we'll hear his story of how he started just a few months ago and is now seeing $10K per month in sales and climbing steadily! He has a virtual assistant who sends him several easily sourced new replen items every day! He's also recently become a coach on our team because...

Amy has a full-time job and three kids, but she manages to work about 10 hours per week on her Amazon business where she earns well over $100/hr net profit with the replens strategy that we teach. Her business started growing steadily very soon after she invested in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and joined our coaching program. She hired a VA from our training service (a virtual assistant) who finds profitable inventory for her full-time for just a few dollars per hour. The VA works exclusiv...

In this five minute episode I share how to have a seven figure, highly profitable (25-30% net) Amazon business without any expensive tools or software. Is that even possible? Let's answer that question now! As evidence I reference a presentation from Dec 2021 at our virtual event by a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student from our community named Oscar Mutumbo. He uses ONLY the inexpensive tool called "Keepa" to find as many profitable items as he can buy! He's added in a lot of hustle and his results ...

Often, sellers on Amazon report that they find a great product, start selling it and before long there are competitors driving down the price. It's the nature of all businesses actually, but there's a little used and very creative solution we've made available for our community! It's the ProvenBrandBuilding.com strategy. Not only can you launch a great ASIN on Amazon, you can protect it from competition and even get more "love" from Amazon while doing it because your "trust score" goes up! Today...

They work their Amazon Replens business (as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course) and even employ a couple of their homeschooled kids and their homeschooled friends.

He also recently broke $20,000 per month in sales...

If you made the unfortunate mistake of going to youtube to learn to sell on Amazon, odds are you're starting to feel the burn. You've been burned by spending 1000's on a course, 1,000s more on a coach, hundreds monthly on software and then 1000's more on tools, resources, experts and the list goes on and on. In the end, you're stuck with unsellable inventory. We've heard it OVER AND OVER for years. Sometimes I feel like our community is the "burn unit" of a hospital for Amazon sellers who had th...

Today we meet the latest coach to join the JimCockrumCoaching.com team. In 2021 she worked full-time at her "real job", but as a professed "One Mom Show" she also sold $450K on Amazon at 20% net margin without any hired help. She even calls her approach "lazy"! Her ASP (average selling price) is $72 and she makes about $20 per sale on her various products. She never sees or touches her inventory (with small exceptions), she does all her buying herself online, and her goal is $1MM in sales in 202...
