#1092: Can a virtual assistant really load 100s of products daily to my Amazon business?

Did you know that we have numerous Amazon selling students in our community who are adding hundreds of products daily to their Amazon catalogues? They use 3Pmercury to comb through those products and decide which ones make the most sense to sell any given day. We are so confident in this process that we are now beginning to train virtual assistants (VA's) who can do this with and for you. I talk about that on today's episode as well as a few other announcements for the weekend.

#1091: What's the minimum software I really need when I start and when I scale on Amazon as a reseller?

It seems like each successful Amazon reeller you meet has a slightly different approach to the collection of software that they are using to find success on Amazon. The question we tackle today is this, "What are the basic tools you'll need in order to most predictably establish and build a beautiful business using the model that we've seen work for literally thousands of our students?" We discuss the basic starting requirements as well as what you'll need as you begin to scale. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to go buy a whole bunch of different software tools as a new seller. More experienced sellers will often have a collection of tools that they are using to help them manage and automate their business. Newer sellers however should avoid the Trap of thinking they must buy all of the tools up front in order to replicate that level of success. Let's talk through what it looks like to start with the basics and then scale over time as more tools are needed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the "crown jewel" of Amazon selling which is 3PMercury!

#1088: It's not about what you sell, it's where you compete

A lot of Amazon sellers focus on finding the next winning product but that's not where the real advantage lives. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack why where you compete matters far more than what you sell. They connect timeless business strategy to today's FBA landscape, showing how sellers can use proven frameworks to make better decisions, protect profit, and build staying power. You'll hear why chasing the Buy Box can quietly drain your margins, how systems outperform tools, and what actually separates the seven-figure sellers from the ones who stall out. This is strategy made simple: practical, encouraging, and refreshingly honest for resellers who want real profit instead of vanity sales. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

#1085: The $5K stall: From figuring it out to owning your business

You've learned how Amazon works. You're sourcing, shipping, and seeing sales. Then out of nowhere, the growth stops. You're working hard but not progressing. In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy talk through what they call the stall - that stage where progress plateaus and motivation fades. They unpack why it happens, how to recognize it early, and what to do before it quietly kills your business. Robin shares two stories from her dad - one about a stubborn bloodhound and another about learning to take short-term pain over long-term frustration. Both reveal how comfort keeps you stuck. This episode blends tough love, humor, and practical coaching to help you push through the stall, build real momentum, and start owning your business instead of letting it own you. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I ignore messages that come to me via Amazon messaging from other sellers?"

#1084: There are many ways to make money on Amazon, but what's best for a newbie?

Over the years we've seen literally thousands of people using a couple dozen different strategies to try to earn a great income from the world's largest e-commerce platform. Today we explore several of the options you have and then explain why we feel so strongly about one particular strategy. It's the foundational strategy taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com new seller modules. The strategy we are most excited to start all new students with is called Replens, and right now is arguably the best time ever to get started based on obvious trends, software that is now available as well as Amazon's own efforts to smooth the process of being a reseller. Several other opportunities are discussed today as well including building a brand, KDP books, selling used books, drop shipping and others.
