Summary
Once per week or so I love to go live on Zoom in the Facebook group with whoever can join me and answer as many ecommerce and Amazon selling related questions as possible. Recently, we recorded one of these sessions for you. The questions we discussed this time clarify what is the "replens model", my background story in doing this over twenty years, how to get around gated categories as a new seller, the difference between a brand and a category, and how to better understand profit margins. This episode has great tips and resources for all skill levels of sellers - enjoy!

Questions and comments:

Jim gives some background to his multiple streams of e-commerce income and how this has provided for his family for many years
The guest asks Jim how to best test ASINs when it is difficult to source the items locally. Jim offers suggestions as well as emphasizes how important relationships are in this business!
Jim discusses the Proven Brand Bundle course and how he is seeing some really successful stories come out of using this method.
The guest asks Jim about being a new seller and being gated. Jim suggests the following categories for new sellers as these categories are not gated: sports and outdoor, kitchen, bath, household goods, arts and crafts, pet supplies (not food). After selling approximately 30-40 units, the gates will start to “fall open!” Jim also recommends the this course for selling books: provenamazoncourse.com/safebookprofits
Jim discusses being approved for categories vs brands. He also discusses First Sale Doctrine and shares a good Nike story! Jim also shares his confidence with Amazon selling for the upcoming years!
Jim discusses net profit (margin) and what that looks like for Amazon sellers (depending on where the seller is in their business)

| 0:26.2 | PM New York time. Most weeks, not every week, but this time I recorded the session. We don't |
| 0:33.6 | record all of them, but we did this time. And we may do this a few times in the future as well |
| 0:38.1 | if this is something that we get some feedback from you, saying you enjoy. So let me set this up a little bit, |
