The importance of testing, learning, and refining your Amazon selling strategy

The power of community support and proven systems like Keepa, Kickstart, and 3P Mercury -The System

Are you looking for SUSTAINED success in your online business? I've got a great podcast episode for you today if so.

With over 22 years experience coaching nearly 10,000 students in e-commerce training organization, as well as having influenced and trained many more in various courses and conferences, I've definitely noticed some glaringly obvious patterns emerge among those who succeed and those who ultimately bail out.

It's my top 10 list of rules for SUSTAINED (long term) success in e-commerce.

Here's the list:

• Start with something proven, low risk, stable, systemiz-able and highly scalable
• Fail often but big risks just aren't necessary, so don't take big risks
• Pursue these key relationships constantly
• Don't start with multiple streams, but that's where you should head eventually
• There are 10 possible pivots for every one challenge you face
• Tell your story - it's not a "hustle"
• The elusive "magic button" doesn't really exist, but there's something better
• Embrace the fact that YOU are the bottleneck. Your leadership skills are the throttle.
• Only do the things that ONLY YOU can do
• Follow PROFITS not PASSIONS if you want to survive

Stick around for a couple minutes at the end of the episode to hear an update about the kind of low cost insurance you should have as an ecommerce/Amazon/Walmart seller! We spend a few minutes with Ashlin Hadden of http://ecom-insure

He's thrilled by the results he's seeing in his Amazon REPLENS business (the foundational strategy of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training).

He started with $1,000 and loved what he saw, so he quickly added in another $15,000 for inventory and now has a business worth about $50K with no outside funds being added! You'll be motivated and encouraged by this seller who is looking at a very bright 2025!

Today's guest; Taskin Faruk Guven

In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy dive into the key strategies for scaling your Amazon FBA business. They tackle a common question from coaching clients: How do I grow from $2,000 to five figures per month?

The answer isn’t as simple as just doing more—it’s about strategic scaling, efficiency, and smart sourcing.

They discuss:

• The power of incremental growth and sustainable scaling
• Why small, low-profit items can be the MVP of your business
• How efficiencies in sourcing, prepping, and shipping can multiply your results
• The importance of planning, taking action, and staying committed

If you’re ready to take your FBA business to the next level, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you get there.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Am I big enough of a seller to justifying putting a policy/legal expert on a monthly retainer? If you are selling online at all, this small investment is likely justified!"
