Summary
It seems like each successful Amazon reeller you meet has a slightly different approach to the collection of software that they are using to find success on Amazon. The question we tackle today is this, "What are the basic tools you'll need in order to most predictably establish and build a beautiful business using the model that we've seen work for literally thousands of our students?"
We discuss the basic starting requirements as well as what you'll need as you begin to scale. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you need to go buy a whole bunch of different software tools as a new seller. More experienced sellers will often have a collection of tools that they are using to help them manage and automate their business. Newer sellers however should avoid the Trap of thinking they must buy all of the tools up front in order to replicate that level of success. Let's talk through what it looks like to start with the basics and then scale over time as more tools are needed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the "crown jewel" of Amazon selling which is 3PMercury!

| 0:33.3 | today, which is, what software do I really need in order to get my Amazon business rolling? |

| 1:46.7 | students who are not only fans of this show, but consumers of our training, our content, |
