We hear many of the same questions from Amazon sellers who haven't yet started to succeed. It could be because they are just new to Amazon selling and don't know what they don't know, or maybe they are getting bad advice from watching a few too many youtube videos from "experts" who lack a track record of producing student success.

Regardless, on today's episode we share our top ten list of the "wrong questions" that we hear asked in our group and help direct you towards the PROVEN path to success that we've shared with so many other listeners to our podcast as well as students of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training.

Here's the list of questions covered:

• What’s a good source for profitable products?
• How can I win the buy box on Amazon more consistently?
• How do I get ungated for new brands or categories?
• How can I boost my sales and sell more of my product?
• What software will help me find a good niche on Amazon?
• What’s the best way to have a hands free Amazon business?
• How can I find a good wholesaler?
• What’s the best china source to start with?
• How much money will I need to get started? I heard it’s expensive.

New podcast episode alert!

After having coached and trained 1,000s of sellers to success in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com community, we've identified some powerful patterns!

There's only a handful of common mistakes that new sellers make, and if you can avoid these handful of mistakes then your odds of Amazon seller success SKYROCKETS! Amazon is growing so fast, and the "underserved shelf space" on millions of ASINs at their 100's of warehouses is getting easier to find, so new sellers have MORE advantages than they've ever had before.

Today we go over the list of the common BIG mistakes we see newbies (and other sellers) making, and we discuss what you should be doing instead.

SilentJim.com/bb70 - See 200 examples of ASINs (listings on Amazon) that are selling consistently above buy box

What if you only needed a list of ASINs (Amazon listings) and then a powerful, low cost software took over and told you when to buy and when not to buy all the ASIN's on your list?

What if that tool was also a complete workflow tool for REPLENS sellers?

That's what Khang has built and he's used it to run a $3million Amazon reselling business virtually hands free. Better yet, we've beta tested the tool with 200 other students and it's working great!

This very well could be the greatest tool every created for Amazon resellers.

I think we are about to change the Amazon reselling business forever.

Online shopping (e-commerce) is still less than 20% of all retail spending.

Nearly 50% of all buying online in the US happens on Amazon.

Those numbers are going nowhere but BUT UP.

That's a big reason why we continue to love Amazon as the best starting point for the lowest possible risk, lowest possible cost and highest odds of success with a business online...

BUT!!!

What else is out there? What else are we excited about? What opportunities come on the heels of building a steady Amazon business and more importantly - how do you find those opportunities and pursue them? Let's talk about it!
