Summary
"I run out of inventory money WAY before I run out of great products I can sell" - a quote from our guest today.
On this episode we talk to another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is VERY part time, but it's not just the profits from his Amazon business that he's enjoying - he also loves all the credit card points he's collecting! As a matter of fact, the opportunity to maximize the use of points was the driving reason he even got into Amazon selling! His goal was to merely break even and enjoy all the points, but he's raking in nice profits as well!
With a very part-time effort he's found 114,000 viable products to load into 3PMercury and he says he has "pages and pages" of great products he can buy at any given time.
This is yet another coaching student success story as well! If you'd like to talk to us about our coaching program, contact us any time at SilentJim.com/bookacall

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, Jim here with silent sales machine radio. I've got a guest |
| 0:06.8 | who's going to join us in just a minute. It is a coaching student from our community who just speaks |
| 0:13.0 | with glowing terms about the experience he's had going through our program and training. |
| 0:17.7 | And it's an interesting vantage point he comes from. I don't know that I've ever had a |
| 0:22.7 | student say this before, but he's got a stable job. He's very involved in. And it takes a lot of |
| 0:29.7 | time and energy and commitment. His 30-year career is very time-consuming, high-level projects. |
| 0:37.2 | But on the side, he is fascinated with credit card points, |
| 0:43.8 | collecting them and accumulating them and using them wisely. |
| 0:46.8 | And he started looking for the smartest way to use credit cards |
| 0:52.4 | to get a lot of points while not losing money on the transaction. |
| 0:56.7 | I mean, it's one thing to go, you know, buy something and get the points. |
| 0:59.9 | But how do you get the money back for that thing you just bought plus earn a little bit? |
| 1:03.7 | Well, the best way to do it is to be an Amazon reseller. |
| 1:06.9 | So he hangs out with other people who do this and he's's doing it himself, and he's ramping it up, |
| 1:11.5 | and he's built a really cool business that is just a very flexible part-time thing for him, |
| 1:16.6 | as you'll hear him describe. But it's very profitable. And he's finding products anytime he wants. |
| 1:23.7 | He mentions that he uses 3P Mercury, which I'll stick a link in the show notes, so you can check |
| 1:28.1 | that software out. But any given day, he's got page after page after page, in his own words, |
| 1:34.2 | of profitable products that he can go choose from and sell, use his credit cards, get the points, |
| 1:40.1 | make a profit on the product, and the sky's the limit. Now, right now, he's kept his business |
| 1:45.0 | relatively small. He just doesn't have a lot of time to put into it, but the proof of concept is |
| 1:49.0 | there, and he's very excited about this. Just a fascinating guy to talk to. I love the perspective of |
