After running his own very unusual niche business online for several years (he sold WORMS!) with some success, today's guest discovered the "PAC" (ProvenAmazonCourse.com course).

On his first day of research he found 150 profitable items (ASINs) to sell! His first full month, he sold $20K on Amazon. That was Jan 2021. His margins are about 20% and his ROI is 70%.

#343: Expecting to do $3million on Amazon in 2021 with a small team
Here's another dad who gets to be home thanks to his ecommerce business! Today's guest has been a member of our community for some time now. He was actually a guest of the show back in 2017 which was just after I had my total loss house fire from a lightning strike (a year I'll never forget!) Since that time, Eric has steadily grown his business and enjoys a flexible lifestyle working from home with a small team. He doesn't have an office or even own any warehouse space. He "rents" some space from a local warehouse that has excess space. His net take home (after all employees and other expenses) is about 10% of total sales, and he's expecting to do about $3million in sales in 2021. Today we talk about wholesale sourcing strategies, Eric's new interest in the replens model, the PPP model (PPP is "Proven Product Partnering" - the model where you get paid to help brands get onto amazon) and even some bundling.

#342: After hearing this podcast, she ramped up her Amazon business quickly
Today's guest was pursuing her passion in graphic design working in Manhattan for magazine advertisers, but she had a different "WHY" calling her name - that bigger "WHY" was her family and she wanted to be home with them instead of enduring a three hour commute to her "dream job" every day. Thanks to the Amazon model that we teach, she's now making her true dream a reality.

#341: Coaching student sells $100K in 8 months while working full-time at his "real" job
Today we have yet another JimCockrumCoaching.com success story! Today's guest, Jeff got some bad news when covid struck. His pay was cut 30% at his "real job" and he knew he'd have to find a way to offset the loss to support his wife and four kids. After hearing a friend share about our community on a college alumni facebook group, he found our community and then quickly jumped into the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. As he dove into the content, he quickly decided that he wanted some one-on-one attention so along with his wife they decided that even though their budget was a bit tight, they needed to invest in coaching. The rest of their story is one of success as this young family of six used their spare time to build a very stable business on Amazon by selling easily sourced products on a "rinse and repeat" simple model that we call "replens". Jeff also shares several great tips and strategies as well about his RA/OA and wholesale sourcing techniques.

#340: What should I sell online? Where should I start?
What can you sell? Where should you start? I've been selling products online for 20 years, and I've been training others how to succeed using the internet creatively to grow their income for 18 years. The two most common questions I've heard are, "What can I sell?" and "Where should I start?" Today I have answers that are quite possibly the best response you'll ever hear to those two pressing questions. On today's show I demonstrate how selling REPLENS on Amazon has produced hundreds of recent success stories in our community (as evidenced by the piles of great stories in our free Facebook group). We feel like we are just getting started! Store shelves and websites are STUFFED with products that can be sold for great markups - and we can show you how to find this hidden gold! Today I explain why the Replens opportunity on Amazon is uniquely attractive in both the short and long term as a creative, low risk, low barrier to entry opportunity with very predictable results for those who are ready to do the work.

#338: Hundreds of Amazon sellers just shared what they are selling!
I recently asked our community of 63,000 ecommerce sellers to share what item that they had most recently sold on their amazon account. Specifically I was asking those who are following our "Replens" training to respond. Hundreds of great responses poured in, and the ensuing discussion was full of tips and strategies that surprised many of us! It was such an educational and entertaining thread that I decided to make a podcast episode about the lessons and great strategy ideas found in the great responses. There's also a link below so you can join in the discussion thread and see it for yourself.
