Hey, business building warrior, it's your friend Jim, and today I've got a report that I just read. I shared

it in our Facebook group as well. I'll stick a link in the show notes, of course, at silentjim.com.

Go to this episode. You can link right to everything we're going to talk to, or talk about today, rather.

But this report is from Amazon. It's official Amazon data talking about 2018, the year that just ended, as I'm recording

this, about the results that sellers are getting, third-party sellers. That's you and me, those of us who are selling products on the Amazon platform, the results that we're getting.

sales isn't necessarily reflective of profits. You're completely right. I'm not trying to avoid

that topic at all as I go into these numbers. We'll bring that up afterwards with some great

stories of exactly how well the members specifically of our

community are doing. So don't be impressed by sales numbers. Obviously, anyone can go out and

spend $1,000 on inventory and sell it for $400 and then talk about how they just sold $400

of product. So that's not a way to stay in business.

That's not a viable business model. Obviously, we're all aware that it's potentially possible

to spend more on inventory than what you end up selling it for. But as I go through these numbers,

keep in mind the profit, just it's not shared in this data. So these are just raw sales numbers, but the numbers are big, and there's a lot of us out there,
