Summary
We've heard from many podcast listeners who said they are impressed with the numerous "big success story" episodes of our podcast, but they'd like to also hear from newer sellers who are just getting started. We've been doing a few shows lately that feel more like "new seller encouragement discussion".
Today we meet a single mom who is only a few weeks into her Amazon selling journey, but she's got great momentum and a determined heart! You can't help but root for her!
She's found several profitable REPLENS (based on the ProvenAmazonCourse.com system), but she's far from where she'd like to be so we talk it all over. We discuss the reality of selling books on Amazon, how to source profitable REPLENS "off the beaten path", using KEEPA the right way to avoid problematic brands and much more.
Today's guest: Amanda Wykes
Today's episode is sponsored by RevSeller - the business tool many of our coaches and students use to analyze and organize business data! https://provenamazoncourse.com/revseller

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. This is Jim with another episode of silent sales machine radio. |
| 0:08.0 | Today I've got a guest who's a very new member in our community. She's only a few weeks in to her Amazon business building journey. |
| 0:16.9 | But we have a very transparent conversation about how it's going. Yes, she is finding multiple |
| 0:22.1 | profitable products. We talk about how she's doing it. She's a huge fan of the proven Amazon |
| 0:26.7 | course, but we also talk very openly and transparently about the challenges. She's seeing |
| 0:31.0 | some of the questions. If you've been around a while, you'll know the answer to many of the |
| 0:36.5 | questions. But I try to go in |
| 0:38.2 | deep and explain the different challenges that she's facing, the reality of it, the worst case |
| 0:44.3 | scenarios, the most likely scenarios, the best case scenarios for the different things that she's |
| 0:49.0 | running into. And I think it's time well spent, maybe just to refresh. If you've been around a while, a fan of this show, |
| 0:55.9 | refreshing you on some of the basics and remembering just how far you've come as a seller. |
| 1:01.6 | And also, there are some things. I learned some new things today. I love the questions that new sellers ask. |
| 1:07.7 | Because quite often it challenges the preconceived notions that we have, those of us who |
| 1:13.4 | have been around a while. We think, yeah, yeah, I know all there is to know on that subject, |
| 1:16.7 | but I learned something new on a pretty basic skill today. And it's going to change the way I look |
| 1:22.2 | at some of the tools that we use for sure based on her experience. We talk a lot about the basic |
| 1:27.2 | tools that she is using on that |
| 1:28.8 | note of tools, Kipa, Rev Seller, Inventory Lab, Be Cool. We're going to put links to all of that |
| 1:34.7 | in the show notes. So as you hear us talking about these tools or maybe referencing older |
| 1:38.3 | podcast episodes. We'll stick links to all of that for you conveniently. If you're watching |
| 1:42.5 | on YouTube, look in the description of this video. |
