While we really love to see business building warriors diving head first into self education, when it comes to selling on Amazon there are several very common mistakes you're likely to make if you try to go it alone and learn it all yourself.   On today's episode I cover the top mistakes sellers make in regards to going too big too fast, thinking too small or creating a hamster wheel business model, or simply pursuing ideas that cause you to ultimately lose in the end in spite of the hype.   We talk about dropshipping, selling liquidations on Amazon, scanning barcodes and selling books as well as the hot trend of "done for you" models and using "overhyped tools"!   There's something for all Amazon sellers in this episode.   You can watch today's episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8bQYTQyVhNg   Show note LINKS:   Come meet your fellow listeners to this podcast, dozens of our coaches and hundreds of business building warriors at our live event in May!

#825: A live Amazon Q/A with our Facebook members and PAC students

Our guest for today's episode started on Amazon many years ago, but he was on a TREADMILL model of scanning bar codes, going store to store, always selling different items and getting stuck with an ever growing "pile" of unsellable inventory.   He got (understandably) frustrated and his margins were dropping.   He did this model for TEN FULL YEARS and then he took a full two years off - he quit Amazon feeling defeated... and then he found our community just a few months ago.   He found the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course - he discovered the REPLENS model (the model behind the 100s of sellers success stories you've heard on this show)...   ... and now, just three months in, you won't believe what he's built and the great margins he's getting. His business has come back to life, and he's energized by the results and margins of this new model!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vWxEQ_Qzx2c   Show note LINKS:    SilentJim.com/free11 - get access to the book that launched this podcast, sold over 1million copies with 1,000s of five star reviews on Amazon.com - it's the latest version of the Silent Sales Machine book!   TheProvenConference.com - So much information and great networking at our LIVE event.
