Summary
If you made the unfortunate mistake of going to youtube to learn to sell on Amazon, odds are you're starting to feel the burn. You've been burned by spending 1000's on a course, 1,000s more on a coach, hundreds monthly on software and then 1000's more on tools, resources, experts and the list goes on and on. In the end, you're stuck with unsellable inventory. We've heard it OVER AND OVER for years. Sometimes I feel like our community is the "burn unit" of a hospital for Amazon sellers who had their dreams and hopes crushed. THere's a better way. Let's talk about it.

| 0:07.3 | We might throw it on YouTube with a graphic or something. So either way, welcome wherever you're |
| 0:11.4 | watching, listening. But I just got off the phone, had about an hour of phone call with a new student |
| 0:16.6 | in our community. We gave her completely free access to all of our proven Amazon course, |
| 0:21.7 | which is our flagship content for Amazon sellers. |
| 0:25.4 | It has all of our Amazon seller training in it. |

| 1:22.3 | with a product at a profit, if that's you, you've never sold successfully, you're brand new, |
| 1:29.2 | you should not, under sold successfully, you're brand new. You should not, |
| 1:37.8 | under any circumstances, even come close to considering putting a penny of your money or a minute of your time into researching how to build a private label brand on Amazon. I say that as someone who has helped |
