| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm your host for today, Jimmy Smith, and I'm excited to be here talking about the new wave of arbitrage opportunity that exists in selling online and specifically selling on Amazon. |
| 0:18.0 | Now, if you don't know who I am, I have been selling on Amazon since |
| 0:21.5 | December of 2015. I have built and scaled multiple six and seven figure businesses online. I've |
| 0:26.8 | sold over $7 million worth of products on Amazon and have trained thousands of other sellers to do |
| 0:32.1 | the same. And I'm excited to speak with you about the changes with arbitrage through the years, because what we've seen |
| 0:39.2 | is the opportunity has definitely molded to kind of a different environment than what it used to be. |
| 0:46.8 | And what's great is to me, that is actually a better environment than it really ever has been |
| 0:53.0 | in terms of being able to find quality products |
| 0:55.8 | quickly to resell on Amazon. Now, for those of you that have been selling on Amazon for any |

| 1:19.8 | or you look at each individual item on a website. And in the process of doing that, you're going to |
| 1:26.8 | find some products that you can sell |
| 1:29.2 | at a markup on Amazon. So maybe you find a product on a website at $5 and you're able to sell it on |
| 1:34.7 | Amazon for $12 to $15 to $20 or more. And in that, you then have a profit margin. You have a markup |
| 1:41.7 | where you're able to make money from doing that process. |
| 1:44.3 | And that's called arbitrage, where you're buying products from one site and you're selling it |
| 1:48.4 | on Amazon at another price. And what's great about that model is it's a low-hanging fruit model. |
| 1:54.7 | It's something where new sellers and experienced sellers can go out there. We can test a bunch of |
| 1:59.5 | different products. We can purchase a bunch of different products to sell on Amazon, and it doesn't cost us a lot |
