Summary
In a recent popular facebook post we discussed the most common ways we see especially new sellers on Amazon FAIL. Many mistakes are common among even the most experienced sellers as well however.
The Facebook post took on a bit of a life of its own with some great participation from the community.
The bottom line is this -if you avoid these common "traps" your odds of building a great business goes WAY up as you've heard from 100s of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students on other episodes of our show!

If you're new around here, the only thing you really need to know about this podcast is we love interviewing the successful students from our community who are using the internet creatively to launch and grow, |
| 0:23.2 | beautiful businesses online. That's right. We've got hundreds of interviews with students of the |
| 0:30.5 | proven Amazon course, which is our focus around here for most episodes, selling on Amazon. |
| 0:36.4 | But we also love multiple income streams as well. |
| 0:39.9 | There's so many creative fun ways to earn money online. We love to see you launch income streams, |

| 0:57.3 | flowing in unison, creating this raging river of opportunity and possibilities and revenue |

| 1:07.9 | the replins model of selling on Amazon. That idea started in our community. |
| 1:14.2 | We've got thousands of businesses that have launched using that strategy. It's basically filling |
