#324: Mom of four with full-time career builds $30K monthly sales Amazon business
Kim is a wife and mother to four. She's had a very successful 20 year career in accounting as a corporate controller, but about a year ago she decided that she really wanted to get some of her time back so she could be home more with her husband and kids - including a special needs 14 year old son. She started looking for online opportunities. She soon found herself in an Amazon seller community (not ours) where numerous sellers were struggling and spending big bucks in futility while trying to set up their own private label brands on Amazon. In one conversation she saw, our community (THIS podcast) was described as a "better way" to build an Amazon business, so she gave us a shot! That was just a few short months ago, and already as a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student she's on track to have a $40K month next month! Show guest: Kim Reid.

In this episode we address the hardest questions our community is asking about our most popular and successful Amazon seller strategy for new sellers called "replens".

Question two: How do I avoid IP (trademark etc.) issues? Question 3: What are the biggest hurdles I'll face as an Amazon seller. Question 4: What are the necessary daily tasks of a successful Amazon seller?

#318: Another million $ Amazon simple success strategy
Today we meet a guest who expects to sell about $1.2million on Amazon in 2020 and he learned it all from the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and our community! It's not a complex business model. He claims (and proves!) that you can source profitable items in ANY STORE that will sell over and over again WITHOUT ever needing to "bargain hunt". For example, he shares a story about one of his top selling items that is sourced from a gas station chain where he pays full-price and still makes a great profit! He's also automated his business by building out a shopping team and a prepping team so he truly has a systemized and rapidly growing business that sells over 700 different items predictably on Amazon every month!
