In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack why sourcing is no longer the hard part of building an Amazon business. Matching ASINs has become easy, but knowing what will actually work only shows up once products are tested in the live marketplace.   They explain why Keepa tells only part of the story, how the buy box behaves differently across locations and timing, and why sellers often panic and...

You're doing the work. The numbers are moving. So why does everything feel off?   We've watched this pattern play out with client after client. Smart, capable people lose confidence at the exact moment they should be trusting the process. They don't quit at the start when everything is hard. They don't quit at the finish when the results are obvious. They quit in the middle, when the work feels he...

You meet people who want freedom. Then you meet someone who refuses a boss so much he reverse-engineers his whole life.

In our previous episode, we talked about a coaching student who found 3,800 test-worthy ASINs in 12 weeks. Today, I talk more about the TWO different ways to do Amazon reselling.   Depending on your budget and time available, one of the two makes the most sense - or maybe you'll do both!   If your budget is tight (you can't afford to buy the inventory needed to sell $2000 or more per month), you'l...

A coaching client hit "apply filter" and watched 3,800 qualified ASINs appear on screen. His shoulders dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had runway. Here's the thing, no one sold him that list. He built it. This episode breaks down the exact approach: how many hours, how many weeks, what filters matter, and why your own database is the only competitive moat that actually lasts.   S...

Wouldn't it be great if someone would just SHOW YOU THE STEPS TO SUCCESS? We'd all like to think that if someone would just lay it all out in clearly defined steps then we could push the right buttons, use the right tools and follow the plan to building a great business online (just like building a lego set, right?)   If you've not figured it out yet, building a business is NOT like building a LEG...

"Life isn't just about a 9-5 paycheck and watching Netflix any longer" Just one of many powerful statements from the latest ProvenAmazonCourse.com student we interviewed.   She started with just $600 after buying a confusing course that was offered to her by someone else outside our community. That course lead her to us however, and she's been on a roll ever since!   "I'm quite proud of myself" sh...

The search for "great products" to sell is at the heart of every successful Amazon seller. What if you could pay someone else to find those "leads" for you?
