Summary
Did you know that you can hire someone for a few dollars per hour ($4-5/hr) to help you find profitable inventory to sell on Amazon while you sleep? Many of our students are doing just that all day every day.
Today's guest is a virtual assistant (aka VA) who was found and thoroughly trained by our Filipino Amazon training team using the ProvenAmazonCourse.com strategies that you hear so much about on this podcast. She works for ONE seller (and only one) as part of her ProvenReplensVA.com agreement with us.
We thought it would be interesting and encouraging for you to hear a bit of her story and hear how hard she works for just a few dollars per hour in order to assist her employer (a seller in our community) build a thriving business. In a culture where the average salary is just $1 per hour, hiring a trained assistant to help you locate profitable inventory makes a lot of sense and makes a HUGE difference in the economic freedom of the amazing extended family we are quickly growing in the Philippines.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. Today I've got a treat for you. |
| 0:07.6 | It's not a very long episode, but it's an interview with a virtual assistant, a VA from the Philippines, |
| 0:16.5 | who's serving one of the students in our community. As you're likely aware, if you've listened to a few episodes lately, |
| 0:22.7 | we have a new program called Proven Replins VA. |
| 0:28.2 | ProvenreplinsVA.com is the website where we get you a virtual assistant who's been trained |
| 0:34.4 | by us who can source profitable inventory, the way we always talk about around here, |
| 0:39.1 | all the hundreds of success story interviews from this podcast, those people are all building |
| 0:44.7 | replins businesses on Amazon. That means they're finding the underserved listings on Amazon |
| 0:51.9 | and buying the product that's needed to serve that listing well, |
| 0:56.2 | the customers who are eager to buy those products. |
| 0:59.1 | So one of the ways you can automate that business model is to hire somebody else to do |

| 1:16.7 | dollar goes so far in the Philippines. One U.S. dollar converts, as you'll hear today, to about |
| 1:23.0 | 50 pesos in the local currency, over 50. So most people in the Philippines right now are earning about $1 U.S. per hour. |
| 1:33.8 | That's the average wage. |
| 1:36.1 | So if you can pay someone $4 or $5 range per hour, |
| 1:41.2 | you've created an incredible opportunity for many, many people. |
| 1:45.9 | So we're tapping into folks who speak English very well. They love using the internet. |
