We've turned a SKEPTIC with serious concerns into a RAVING FAN who is CRUSHING IT!   The backstory: A few months ago I posted in invitation in our large Facebook group inviting ANY SKEPTICS to please step forward.   I wanted anyone who had "heard bad things" about being an Amazon reseller.

#1179: Are you ready to launch your own product on Amazon? Let's find out! 18.06.2026

Some of the most exciting product launch stories in the Amazon seller community have come from our community, but today I'm going to talk you OUT of launching your own product on Amazon!   In the industry these new products are commonly referred to as "PL" or "private label" products.   The sad truth is, the vast majority of "gurus" and "Amazon experts" spend a lot of time and monty convincing peo...

#1178: He hit $10K a month. Then his coach told him to stop working harder! 17.06.2026

A coaching client got on Robin's calendar this week sitting at ~$10,000 a month in sales and feeling stuck. He's an engineer, so the math felt obvious: $50K is just $10K, five times over. Do what's working, five times as much, and you're there. Except that's the trap, and by the end of the call he said he felt like he'd been hit by a two-by-four. In the best way.   In this episode, Brian and Robin...

#1177: Which seller are you? "I can't find ANYTHING to sell" or "There's far more great inventory than I have time or money to buy!" 15.06.2026

On Amazon are you more of a "I can't find ANYTHING seller" or "There's more great inventory than I have time or money to buy"?   Why are many shoppers on Amazon gladly paying $30 for an item when the exact same item is being sold for $15 on the same ASIN?   MILLIONS of shoppers on Amazon all day every day are doing exactly that, and they are very happy to do so. Until you understand why this happe...

#1175: It's not 50 cents. It's permission. 10.06.2026

A coaching client this week was grinding four hours a night, sitting on six ASINs he'd already vetted, and still couldn't pull the trigger. His words: "There's gotta be something I'm missing here." He wasn't missing a tool. He was missing permission to act.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy take you inside an actual coaching call where Robin turned three "pass on it" ASINs into two she'd test...

#1172: The Panic Window and the Sweet Spot: Two Edges Hiding in Plain Sight 03.06.2026

You boxed up your FBA shipment, sent it in, and now your inventory is just sitting there. A sale, then nothing for three days, then maybe another a few days later. Your gut says drop the price. Your gut is wrong.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy close out the three-part Seller's Secret Edge series by unpacking the two advantages most resellers never learn to see. First, the Panic Window: the...

#1168: Stop reading the shadows: The Amazon data edge nobody taught you 27.05.2026

Two sellers pull up the same ASIN. Same Keepa chart. One buys, one walks and both think they're right. They're not. They're staring at the same data and seeing two completely different markets. Here's the problem: Amazon changed how it reports sales rank, and most sellers never updated their eyes. They're still counting rank drops like it's 2022, reading shadows on the wall instead of looking at w...

Today we meet wi...

#1165: Reading between the Keepa lines: What the chart isn't showing you 20.05.2026

Three coaching calls in one week. Three different sellers. Same problem - they were all passing on ASINs because of what Keepa wasn't showing them. In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the blind spots hiding in plain sight on every Keepa chart: the "dead" listing that's actually just chronically out of stock, the buy box price that changes depending on which region you're standing in, and t...

#1163: How even new resellers can quickly find 100s of ungated brands to sell on Amazon 15.05.2026

You're doing the work. You're following the playbook from the videos, the socials, the group platforms. And something still isn't clicking.   Here's what nobody's telling you: a lot of that advice was accurate 5 or 10 years ago. Some of it still is. Some of it isn't. And nobody's sorting it out for you.   In the kickoff to a four-part Coach's Corner series, Brian and Robin Joy lay out the four shi...

#1160: Why Would Anyone Pay $40 on Amazon for a $20 Walmart Item? 07.05.2026
