Episodes

  • On recent episodes of our podcast we’ve been delivering to you a handful of conversations and presentations related to our recent Proven conference in late May 2024. These captured recordings are truly fantastic content. Not only do they help you get a feel for what it’s like to attend one of our live events, they are also filled with very practical insights and tips from the most successful leaders and coaches on our team.

    Today’s episode is a recording of a break-out session that was conducted by a coach on our team named Abe Mcmahan. He discussed several of the strategies that he’s used to enable him to build a multiple income stream seven figure business that’s rooted in Amazon and Walmart selling while remaining focused on his family and relationships with the people on his team.

    Enjoy this conversation and practical insights and plan to join us when we have our next live event or workshop! Details on all upcoming opportunities can be found at SilentJim.com/comingsoon

  • Today's episode will inspire you to keep going in the midst of difficulty. Two of our coaches and directors of our JimCockrumCoaching.com program tell it like it is in business and what to do to keep going. Listen to the Olson's behind the scenes back story!

    "Houston, we have a problem..." On April 13, 1970, Jack Swigert’s famous words marked a pivotal moment in the Apollo 13 mission, where an explosion turned a moon landing into a desperate fight for survival. The astronauts, with the ingenuity and determination of their ground team, used the Lunar Module as an improvised lifeboat, overcoming critical issues with limited resources. This story mirrors Brian Olson's journey in the Amazon business world, where persistence and innovative problem-solving turned early failures into remarkable success. Inspired by his unwavering commitment, Brian emphasizes the importance of setting concrete goals and being ready to face challenges head-on. His journey underscores that, much like the Apollo 13 mission, achieving great success often requires tenacity, creative thinking, and an unyielding belief that failure is not an option.

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why does my account health number drop sometimes even though I didn't get any issues on my account?

  • Once per week or so 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 had a long session last time so we captured the remainder of the best moments and turned them into a podcast episode.

    Here's the topics of the rest of the clips for the Q&A:

    Jim repeats the introduction and gives background on SilentJim.com and tells us details about TheProvenConference Coach intro to Kickstart Bootcamp - Robin Joy gives an overview Question about rank and how it works with Keepa knowledge Why is the word "and" better than the word "or" in business? A discussion and great tip to save time using your camera and how to find the ASINS Can we decide which warehouse to sell at and how is that actually helping allowing the Above the Buy Box strategy? The three data points for Keepa a seller should know are found in episode 612 What's the rule of thumb in profit vs investment? Is there a ratio? What model is better than wholesale - up and coming? New glasses and better perspective - don't think profit, think how can I find underserved markets

  • On today's new podcast episode we interview a student who doesn't quite have it all figured out yet, but he's getting there and he's determined!

    He has a full-time job and other grandparent duties that keep him busy, and he's not been doing the Amazon REPLENS model very long, but he's had a few five figure sales months and he's on his way to building a beautiful business!

    Many listeners have told us they enjoy hearing us interview people who are still figuring it out just as much as they like hearing from our 100's of successful students, so we love to bring you stories from our ProvenAmazonCourse.com students who are at all levels of results and success!

  • Counting to a MILLION would take you several days (about 12)

    Counting to a BILLION would take you over three decades.

    Amazon as a BILLION ASINS on their site in the US alone - and countless ASINs are GOLDEN NUGGETS that you could be selling against!

    Once you have a system that sorts through methodically, you can find endless opportunity on the busiest shopping site in the world - Amazon.com

    We can help!

    Let's talk about it on today's podcast episode!

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Can a seller actually get themselves into trouble with Amazon by reporting other sellers and attempting to build a case against other sellers?

  • There's a little known program that's been around for nearly 15 years that gives $10K worth of paid ads (PayPerClick) from Google EVERY MONTH.

    It's easier to qualify than you can imagine.

    Odds are you DO NOT have a non-profit organization right now, but stick with me - you easily COULD have one in a matter of days, and then you'd have a massive advantage over those who are unaware of this opportunity.

    This is legit, legal ethical and above board. You can do this the RIGHT WAY and you'll love it I promise.

    Today's guest has helped 100s of brand owners navigate the process of securing free ads from Google to help grow brands while supporting great causes - via a non-profit org.

    If that sounds complex hearing it the first time, I understand, but this is a win-win-win unlike anything I've seen before. It's a creative, simple and elegant solution that should be considered by anyone who WANTS a brand or HAS a brand they are trying to grow online or on Amazon.

    They do ALL the work for you!

  • Is it good advice or possibly dangerous advice to tell someone to "follow your passions"?

    Is it better to "pursue profits" instead of "following your passions"?

    Are there business models that you can become passionate about once you see the happy customers you've served well all lining up to say "thank you"?

    Which comes first, FEELING GOOD or TAKING ACTION?

    All these topics are important for a business building warrior, and I'd venture to say that nearly 100% of the scores of successful students in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com community have a great deal of clarity on this topic!

  • "Extraordinary success is sequential not simultaneous." Gary Keller

    That's the theme on today's podcast episode.

    Maybe you're asking...

    "What is the FIRST right step and the NEXT steps after for my current situation?" Let's talk about it!

    We've helped 1,000s of students find their way into profitable businesses through the ProvenAmazonCourse.com and other training opportunities, and based on that 20+ years of experience we can tell you that many people are caught in perpetual "study mode" instead of "take action" mode. What actions should you take NOW though in order to build a great future online?

    We'll tell you EXACTLY what is next for you - and it's nowhere near as difficult or expensive as you might be imagining!

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: How can I know if a small retail store is "safe" for sourcing as a reseller on Amazon?

  • On average, every Amazon seller is owed between 1-3% of ALL SALES back from Amazon in lost reimbursements.

    These are funds that most sellers will never collected UNLESS they are constantly staying on top of all owed reimbursements from loss, damage, misplaced etc. inventory at Amazon FBA.

    Wouldn't it be cool if there was a company that charged you NOTHING to find all those reimbursements and get you the cash you're owed?

    Better yet, what if you could try them out and never pay them a penny out of pocket? (They only get paid a small cut when they find your money!)

    GETIDA is that service - and if you use this link to sign up FOR FREE:

    ...then, they have $400 in free reimbursements for you right now! They'll never charge you a penny for their services and you can drop out anytime - no commitment necessary!

    This really is a no brainer for anyone selling more than a few hundred dollars per month on Amazon.

    On today's podcast episode, I talk about the beauty of AMAZON RESELLING, the future of the Amazon selling business models and the elegant service created by GETIDA that puts more money in YOUR POCKET while never costing you a dime!

  • In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show.

    We covered episode #623: A beautiful partnership leads to an amazing Amazon business which you can hear at https://silentjim.com/podcast

    This episode's guests have built a fantastic Amazon business with a very part-time effort.

    They are the latest of dozens of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that I've interviewed who have succeeded in a big way. They joined our coaching program about a year ago and attribute most of their success to the great experience they've had as coaching students.

    They have an unusual partnership. He's a guy with a full-time job and his partner is a nearby friend/family member who is retired - but together their business is booming and they have so many tips to share! They source their profitable inventory in various ways; via online sourcing, local retail and they are also beginning to explore private label products.

    You'll be inspired by the unique approach they take to finding profitable inventory for their Amazon business. This is one of those episodes that I promise will inform and encourage you with plenty of highly actionable insights.

    Highlight topics put together by the podcast team include:

    Retail Arbitrage as a sustainable business model to grow into other models

    Important tools for your business and how to utilize them

    Relationships; some very endearing stories shared by both the guests and Jim

    The importance of having a legal advisor on your team (Jeff Schick is so affordable)

    Coaching and the level up one gets by investing in mentorship

    How the My Silent Team Facebook group is anther place to develop relationships

  • Our newer ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching students often ask questions like, “Where can I find a source that allows me to sell items for a profit on Amazon?”

    Typically these students are looking at the current or average recent buy box price on Amazon or the featured price and then setting about trying to find a "cheaper source".

    While there's some potential in that model, there's far lower hanging fruit for you to explore and that's the topic of today's new podcast episode.

    Today we turn the sourcing question upside down and ask this question instead:

    “Now that I know my cost of acquiring this item, what price will I need to sell this item for on Amazon in order to make a profit?"

    Next ask...

    "Are there ASINs that make my profitable price a reasonable goal?"

    Once you know how to look, the answer will be a resounding "YES" far more often that you might suspect!

    Let's talk about it on today's episode. Watch it pn our YouTubbe channel here: https://youtu.be/EVuDWkWXmQA

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: What should I look for on a retail store receipt as a reseller on Amazon?

  • Over the past 20 years, having coached ecommerce success to nearly 10,000 students, I can tell you with certainty that I know the number one question that anyone who is "stuck" has on their mind...

    "What can I sell?"

    or

    "Where is the profitable inventory?"

    or

    "Where can I start if I want to find good inventory?" etc.

    Let's tackle that head on with one of the dozens of great strategies that we teach in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com training -I'm giving you ALL the details and ALL the proof that this flat out works... and it's just ONE of NUMEROUS strategies that we teach for new sellers!

    Instead of selling at a price lower than everyone else, I'll show you how to sell consistently at a price HIGHER than everyone else - I call it our "above buy box" strategy and it's working amazingly well!

  • 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!
