Summary
Do you have some tough questions about selling on Amazon? Are you skeptical about the opportunity to build a business on the Amazon platform? Many people have the same concerns you do, so you aren't alone. Recently, in a discussion inside our free Facebook group I asked for some "skeptics" to step forward. I wanted to have a conversation with them about their concerns, the rumors they'd heard and the tough questions that were keeping them from moving forward in launching a business as an Amazon seller. We recorded the conversation for you- and that is the gist of this episode! They DIDN'T HOLD BACK! They asked about dropshipping and "done for you" models, saturation concerns, who are the customers who pay more than retail when shopping on Amazon, the confusing amazon rules, the limitations of category approval, why we don't let students start with private label selling, the time requirements to learn and launch the business and other hot topic issues that are a concern for many new Amazon sellers. I think you'll enjoy our chat as I answered with transparency and plenty of facts and data to back up my responses.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Have an unusual episode for you today. I invited openly in our free |
| 0:09.7 | Facebook group via a post. I invited a couple people to join me today. And these are a couple |
| 0:15.9 | folks who volunteered. We actually had about 30 volunteers, I think, if I remember correctly. But I said |
| 0:20.7 | simply this. |
| 0:22.1 | Who here is skeptical of the Amazon opportunities as we present them in this community? |
| 0:29.1 | You've got some questions. |
| 0:30.4 | You've got some doubts. |
| 0:31.7 | You've got some concerns. |
| 0:33.1 | You've heard some things. |
| 0:34.5 | You've seen some things. |
| 0:36.3 | And you want to talk to somebody, but you just haven't |
| 0:39.2 | done it yet because you're just not quite convinced that this is legitimate. And a bunch of people |
| 0:45.0 | raised their hand and said, yeah, I wouldn't mind being a part of that conversation. So I picked |
| 0:48.9 | two of the folks who were available at a certain time, which is the episode you're about to hear. I said, hey, are you |
| 0:54.8 | guys available during this time? They both said, yeah, let's do it. So I brought on a couple of |
| 0:59.1 | skeptics, and they raised some tremendous questions today. I can kind of skip to the end, too. |
| 1:05.3 | This was fun for me, although it wasn't what I had intended from this episode. I didn't intend |
| 1:10.0 | to have anybody make a |
| 1:11.5 | certain decision today, but they both are leaning very heavily towards getting even more involved |
| 1:16.5 | and further investing their time and energy into what we teach after the conversation we had today. |
| 1:22.9 | And I told them not to hold anything back. I wanted to hear all of their skepticism, any of their concerns, |
| 1:29.3 | any questions, the things they've heard. And while I definitely could have gone much deeper and |
