#371: She's built a $30K per month Amazon biz with a $20 tool
Today's guest works two intense full-time jobs and is also building an incredible business using the unique "Amazon Replens" strategies as taught only in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. She also has three kids! Wow! She's selling about $30K per month at a healthy margin while using only ONE TOOL (Keepa!). That's right - she's not using any fancy software because she understands (as you've heard me say many times), there's NO REASON TO BUY SOFTWARE until you are PUTTING MONEY IN THE BANK! The only software she uses is KEEPA as we taught her to do - it's a simple tool that costs less than $20 per month. You'll enjoy the matter-of-fact methods and simple explanations of her business model as she follows the proven Amazon training the way so many others have done.

#369: Don't buy any Amazon seller software until you hear this
As a new Amazon seller, here's a rule of thumb that will serve you well: Until you are earning a thousand dollars per month of profit, you should NOT invest in software and tools. Let's get you started by MAKING money instead of SPENDING money. Did you know that all of the dozens of Amazon seller tools that claim to help you find great products to sell are all using the exact same data purchased from Amazon? Did you know there's only one very inexpensive tool that stands far above all the others because it does its own dirty work by scraping data from Amazon? Better yet, this inexpensive tool gives you a unique and unfair advantage over all other tools while charging less than $20 per month! Far too many new Amazon sellers begin their online selling journey by wasting money and time on monthly subscription tools that are supposed to help them be a success. The sad fact is this: starting your Amazon seller journey with a tool purchase before you are putting money in the bank is virtually always the wrong decision and we've seen this mistake made thousands of times over the years! In today's episode I tell you about one inexpensive tool (that I don't get paid to promote), but it is the ONLY tool you should consider until you are making a thousand dollars a month or more in profit on Amazon.

#368: Their Amazon business is a retirement plan
Scott knew he wanted to build an Amazon business, so he started researching the opportunity. After searching for nearly 18 months for "the right" course and community and after getting his wife on board, they began their Amazon seller journey with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. They've now built a great Amazon business in preparation for meeting their goal of generating a great income that will support them when they hit retirement. In this episode they also discuss how they decided to go "all in" and become students of our "on site" live Amazon seller training (ProvenReplenTraining.com) which is when we flew an expert coach to their hometown and stepped them through setting up their Amazon business - this INCLUDED finding dozens of profitable items they could sell within a few days!

#367: Building a business team that doesn't cost you anything
Building a team is VITAL if you want a sustainable, profitable business. You simply can't do life or business alone. Is building a team risky? Does it involve hiring employees?

#366: So, what exactly should I sell online? Also, where do I start?
Having taught 1,000s of sellers how to succeed, we've noticed some patterns. There's almost a "lifecycle" that's emerged. If you are wondering where to start, or what to sell, or what comes next, or what the landscape of opportunity looks like, then this episode is for you. We've seen far too many new sellers set out trying to launch a successful Private Label brand. You almost certainly SHOULD NOT start there. We've also see far too many new sellers invest thousands in software, pricey big-hype courses and experts and have nothing to show for it. Let's talk openly about what actually works. Let's talk about what you should do next if you have little to no funds to work with. Let's talk about the steps you'll be taking as you grow!
