Following a PROVEN path to Amazon selling results is important, but of equal importance is AVOIDING the most common pitfalls that many sellers predictably fall into sadly. These mistakes slows their progress and makes the business journey far more difficult than it needs to be.

On this episode I discuss the TOP TEN most common pitfalls we are seeing among sellers lately - and how to easily avoid them on your way to building a beautiful business.

A few of the mistakes we've been seeing:

Sourcing from unapproved places

Looking for "Profitable products" instead of test-worthy ASINs

Paying too much to learn a bad strategy

Jumping from one idea to the next without purpose

Attempting to guess your way to the top without help

...and more

If you'd like to get on the RIGHT path and avoid these pitfalls, we suggest the provenamazoncourse.com or coaching from our team!

We are incredible success stories in our community and we'd love to have you on board as our next success story!

Highlights from this episode include discussing the small and light program, silentjim.com/returns (for sellers who don't want to handle all their returned items) and selling seasonal items. The guest also discusses how he took an IP complaint and turned it into an opportunity to develop a relationship with the brand!

We covered episode #667 - New PAC student Just a few months in and crushing it - Kevin Alazmo. You can listen to the full episode at https://silentjim.com/podcast

Highlight topics:

"So how'd you get started?" The guest shares details regarding his first Yankee candle sales by FBM (Fulfilled by merchant). (Jim cautions sellers to avoid sourcing from close outs or liquidations as it's a bit of a risky approach).

"From candles, what happened next?" The guest talks about how he is selling primarily topical clearance items but how they have morphed into replens and bundles! Jim also reminds listeners that if they do utilize leads lists, they should be utilized as a research tool and starting point to rabbit trail off of! (rather than just buying the exact products on the list!) Jim's recommendations are to get off the beaten path, build relationships, take advantage of local resources and get your own list of ASINs! And remember that every good Replen ASIN is going to have a shelf life - which may be a few weeks or months but will eventually die off (temporarily or even permanently).

The guest quotes Inky Johnson, "Learn from the mistakes of others because you can't make them all yourself!" Jim shares that this is essentially his definition of wisdom!

"One more tip I wanted to share…" The guest gives a golden tip of how to route out your store stops using GPS and adding stops to be able to hit every place you need to go! Jim then discusses how to go about growing your business and that really starts with teaching someone else how to source and find Replens (before hiring someone to help prep).

The guest highly recommends the coaching program, utilizing the My Silent Team Facebook page and the Proven Amazon Course. Jim and the guest also reiterate the incredible opportunity there is for new sellers to build and grow an incredible online business! Amazon is not too saturated with sellers as sometimes is heard!

Jim mentions how incredibly important it is to prioritize a mental and physical break from the daily grind and take a day off per week. He also emphasizes how pace and sustainable habits are more important than the hustle and grind!

Jim answers the question, "At what point do you go from a full time job to full time Amazon?"

Today's guest: Trevor Neil

Today's guest has a background in real estate, but his ascent into success using the Amazon REPLENS system has been astonishingly rapid!

Starting with just a few hundred dollars a little over 3 months ago, he now is expecting to finish the year with well over $100K in total sales at great margins! He's finding loads of winning inventory!

There's NEVER been a better time to be an entrepreneur than RIGHT NOW in my opinion and a big reason for that is the low risk, low learning curve, high odds of success business model of REPLENS as taught as the foundational business model of the provenamazoncourse.com course.

Filling the underserved shelf space at Amazon is a big biz for so many in our community - this is just one of 100's of great interviews we've had with students who are succeeding and we'd love to show you how it works!

Once per week our Amazon seller leadership team and I love to go live on Zoom with whoever can join us and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. We love to capture the best moments from these Monday night sessions at our free Facebook group for you and turn them into a podcast episode.

Highlights compiled by the team include:

Jim gives an overview of his multiple streams of income! Text the word "free" to 507-800-9040 for Jim's latest book. He also explains what the My Silent Team Coaching program looks like!

Jim - "when you are sourcing in Keepa for replens…" Podcast episode #369 to learn all about Keepa! Jim also elaborates on why our community loves new sellers!

Robin Joy talks about using Keepa filters to look at drops, price and category to help find ASINs Jim talks about how important intentional relationships are in this business as it can feel lonely and at times hard to get motivated. The Kick Start Boot Camp is a great opportunity for new PAC members to get to know other sellers and learn how to launch your business! Also, gratitude is essential to this process!

Jim explains how there are 2 big problems with drop shipping and why it isn't recommended! Jim mentions that the categories home & kitchen, arts & crafts, office products, pet supplies (not food), patio & lawn, sporting & outdoor goods are good places for new sellers to start with!

Jim reiterates that we are NOT looking for "winning products" but rather test worthy ASINs Jim talks about whether PPC is needed for the Replens model and also issues a warning to new sellers - do not start with private label!! There is a 95% failure rate!

Jim elaborates on the traditional education system and how it teaches, "Just in case" as opposed to the e-commerce opportunities that teach "Just in time!" Jim also mentions one of the chapters in his free book (text # above) that addresses: How important is it to like what you do?

Jim explains whether products are for sale when they are in FC (Fulfillment Center) transfer. He also recommends everyone listen to Podcast #554 - which talks about Ignoring the buy box
