Summary
Today's guests call their Amazon selling journey a "comeback story". They had been hit hard prior to discovering online selling - and they had to dig back to a place of stability. In 2021 they played around on their own selling a few things on Facebook Marketplace, eBay and some on Amazon, but in late 2021, they discovered this podcast and our Facebook community.
They now give the ProvenAmazonCourse.com community a lot of credit for helping them get to where they are now - on the verge of a $500K sales year in 2022 at great margins (about 20% AFTER paying themselves a cut!)
Their virtual assistant we assigned them from ProvenReplensVA.com found over 100 great selling REPLENS within the first five weeks of being hired! ("Replens" are great products that are easily sourced that sell over and over again on Amazon at full price.) They called this a "game changer" on today's episode. They had more than paid for the entire expense of hiring the VA within just a few weeks as you'll hear! Today's guests, Travis and Becky George (who plan to be with us at TheProvenConference.com event in August 2022 in Louisville!)

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. This is your host, Jim. I've got some |
| 0:08.3 | guests today, Travis and Becky, married couple. We'll be bringing them on here in just a couple |
| 0:13.3 | moments. I'm going to tell you a little bit about a recap, a summary of what you're about to hear |
| 0:18.8 | from their story today. So they were experimenting around |
| 0:23.3 | on the internet after they saw a TikTok video. It wasn't one of our videos. Someone else made a |
| 0:27.9 | TikTok video. And they started selling a few things online, kind of goofing off, making a little |
| 0:33.0 | bit of money. They, I think last year, the last full year, 2021, put about $15,000 or so in the banknet, |
| 0:41.2 | just goofing around on Amazon and you'll hear that part of their story. But then they started to |
| 0:45.9 | discover our community. They got into the proven Amazon course. They started learning about |
| 0:51.6 | replins. And we'll stick links to everything you'll hear today |
| 0:55.6 | on this show. |

| 1:12.3 | You can hear all the past podcast episodes. |
| 1:14.9 | But they started getting into the proven Amazon course, like I was saying, and they started |
| 1:18.7 | getting a little more intentional. |
| 1:20.7 | It didn't take long before they were hitting $10,000 a month, $20,000 a month in net sales, operating at around a 20% net margin, even while they're |
| 1:32.1 | taking money out of the business for their own payment. |
| 1:36.4 | So their net margins were really more like 25% or more after all expenses. |
