I have been selling on Amazon since 2015. I am always looking around UA-cam to see what is happening. I think your approach is honest, sensible, and a solid trustworthy way to get started as a new seller.
Being consistant and staying on track is a struggle for me, Im not gonna lie. Too many distractions here and there, and I don't even have a regular job. Enjoying my coaches and love the wealth of information you provide Jimmy. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
What a timely video! I was talking to my sister just this morning and I told her that my new goal was one replens a day for the next 30 days. I've been at this for two years and I've yet to hit my stride. I read a post last night in MST where someone said that if you get 150 ASINS selling 10 times a month at $3.00 profit, you'll make $50,000 a year. Right now, I'd be happy with half that. That post really made it clear for me what needed to be done. Thanks Jimmy for all you do and for the folks over at MST!
Not sure how I found this channel but I am so glad that I did! I have been attempting to sell on Amazon for over a year and so far I have been able to keep it going with little profit. I feel like I am still a newbie just starting out and love the 30 replens in 30 days so much that I am going to start today! I absolutely love how you break everything down and help me get focused. Since I just found this channel I am definitely going back to look at your other videos and can't wait for the next one! Thank you for everything you do and all the help you are willing to give to people like me who want to have as much success as you have.
Newer seller here. I sourced a lot last week using Keepa product finder, reverse sourcing and store front stalking. It took many hours in total but over the weekend, I ordered my 1st four products to test for a replen. Hopefully they're not all duds!!
@rg26 Nope not at all, after 8 months and coaching investment this business was a waste of time, money and energy. I sold 74k in inventory. Which shows how much I spent to get those sales, and didn't make money. It was awful. It was a learning experience but not worth it. I believe a lot of fairy dust is misted out there that lures you in, but very few can make this work.
It’s really cool that you have made as much as you have made and continue to make on Amazon, yet you’re taking the time to educate others for free here on UA-cam. Thank you for what you continue to do for all of us up and coming sellers.
It doesn’t mean anything - amazon many times won’t give a buy box because of pricing or other reasons. They can be great items to sell if Keepa shows it does still
Hi Jimmy. Great common sense, useful content (as usual). Staying on track can be tricky but first you need a track! Thanks for providing a track to stay on👍
Thank you so much for breaking this down, as a complete beginner this really made a lot of sense and I love the challenge idea. I will definitely be checking out your other videos. Cheers 😊
ok you're speaking in gross terms, when most people say they want to make 10k per month. they are referring to net income (after taxes, business expenses). which means these numbers need to be 3x'd at minimum depending on ROI of that product, in order to hit said goal.. in video example sellers are walking away with 2k-3k per month net income. (which for most is still life changing money) no hate here, just speaking perspective. love the content, liked the video and subbed to the channel.
Absolutely true! I was targeting this to beginners to hit $10k per month in sales. Revenue for $10k per month in profit would be approximately $30 per month in sales or a bit more. Since it was for new sellers that's why I used that number. Going to $10k/month in profit is a different story than the guidelines I gave in this video as there are more complexities
Over these eight failing months as FBA seller, I've come across lots of questionable characters pretending to help but all they were trying to do is to line their own pockets. I get a genuine feeling about Jimmy Smith. I'm going to stick around, God know I need to help. Thank you Jimmy.
Like your podcasts. Reformed Amazon FBA library book reseller looking for 2-3 coaching sessions to learn and get started with seller amp and keepa. Do you offer this? Thanks. Lew
Jimmy, thank you so much for another wonderful video! I've always wanted to read your book, so this is an excellent opportunity! Thank you so much for all you do!
Hi there Amazon family, have a quick question for you all who are well versed in FBA space. What tools or how do you decide which ASINs to enroll in FBA? (Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated).
Tons of training on this channel for that. When it comes to arbitrage the biggest thing to know well is Keepa. Check out my Keepa playlist on this channel. Knowing a product has a good Keepa chart and has good profitability/ROI are the key factors as long as you are ungated in the category and brand
Hey Jimmy, thanks so much for the video; I am working my way through PAC and have an audible copy of your book. Would love a physical copy. Really enjoy all your videos, and when you have presented on the Silent Jim podcasts too. You make everything easy to understand and practical
Mainly that you can repurchase the item over and over again profitably. Sometimes items can be replens when on sales cycles only but most replens you will be trying to purchase at full price
I was on track to start April as a good month and boom amazon seems to have lost my shipment. I have limited funds so I almost went out of business I just sent another package hopefully it won't get lost too😢
Already have your book - great read. Excellent video. One suggestion - considering the state of woke issues right now (and companies forgetting who is paying their bills), I would seriously consider losing the Nike hat. Go back to the St. Louis swag - much less controversial.
Check out the free community MySilentTeam facebook group here: bit.ly/mstgroup or if you're interested in a course that's currently $39 per month you can head over to the Proven Amazon Course at bit.ly/paccourse
In my case I do have 76 replen items in 2 months but I don’t have enough funds to get more replens . No more sells as in each replens there is tums of seller from FBA &fbm . Help……..
I recommend checking out my Profit First videos, that may help you to be able to manage your funds a bit better so you can keep growing. Check with your accountant or bookkeeper first to make sure it's the right fit, but it could help!
Feel like I can’t find anything, I’ve bought 2 separate courses in total spending 1,700$ and I still have been able to make my money back. Feel like the market is to saturated now. The past 2 days I haven’t found anything.
I've heard the market is too saturated since 2015 and have seen hundreds of millions of dollars of sales happen from arbitrage sellers since then. It's not too saturated, it's just difficult especially when starting. It can take a few months to get used to the process and what you're looking for. If you've spent that much in courses then that may be the problem. The only course I recommend which includes over 15 different courses in one program is the Proven Amazon Course which costs $39/month and you get a free group that goes with it. You can check it out at bit.ly/paccourse (my affiliate). There are no other courses needed in my opinion and the price is extremely low. However, you don't need more courses to succeed. You can succeed with putting in consistent effort. Also, check out the Free Facebook group at bit.ly/mstgroup with over 70,000 eCommerce entrepreneurs that is full of great content.

Signing up for the replens dashboard today - I didn’t realize it was 500 orders or 30 day free trial - great opportunity. Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome! We recently made that change to help newer sellers with managing inventory better! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Awesome, congratulations on your first replens! Excited for you!
Any update, are you still selling on Amazon?

I love the idea of getting one replenishable per day. It helps me stay on track with a plan.
Awesome! Glad it helps!
Another great video with a lot action steps to take. Trying to take the Amazon side hustle full time so thanks for a good solid growth plan to follow.
Great video on the basics of getting started and setting up a consistent, profitable business that will grow with time and dedication.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! Thanks for this awesome video. How do you know the expiration date of food products when ordering online? Thanks!
You don't unfortunately - but you will want to speak with your prep center if you use one on how they handle bad dated products
Thankyou Jimmy, for being there for us newbies!.
Great video as always. Question ! When no one has de buy box Means the product is out of stock or an IP problem ?
It doesn’t mean anything - amazon many times won’t give a buy box because of pricing or other reasons. They can be great items to sell if Keepa shows it does still
Great video ! I am relatively new to Amazon FBA and all of the things you mentioned I am definitely going to implement! Thank you !
Great! Excited for your business!
Hi Jimmy. Great common sense, useful content (as usual). Staying on track can be tricky but first you need a track! Thanks for providing a track to stay on👍

I just bought the audiobook. Does it also include the course?
Yes! It's in the first couple chapters of the audiobook where I mention how to get the mini-course for free

Hi Jimmy, How do you go about with suppliers sending products with expiration past the minimum requirement of amazon
Return the products to the store and stop ordering those products from that store/distributor
Great tips, especially on setting dedicated time goals. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Would love your course, book and audio book.
Great! Check out my website at askjimmysmith.com :-)

Using Keepa - it's a software that gives you historical information on the selling velocity, price, and competition

Where is the best place to find replens in the UK?

@@AskJimmySmith Thanks so much for your reply! Do you mean by Keepa chart, the historical pricing over time?
@@natacouture Yes and the seller trend over time

Thank you! So glad to hear!
How little money can a person start selling with on amazon? Can someone start with $500? Thanks Jimmy.
Absolutely! I've seen people start with less than $100
When you are sourcing the 30 days, how much quantity of each item would you suggest buying? Realistically for a new seller lol
It varies depending on Keepa but I typically suggest between 4-8 is ideal but 2-6 is good if someone is really learning the process and is brand new
Is the key difference between OA and OA replens basically that replens are full price?
Mainly that you can repurchase the item over and over again profitably. Sometimes items can be replens when on sales cycles only but most replens you will be trying to purchase at full price
Great content as per usual Jimmy! Signing up for Replens dashboard today, and please enter me into the contest, thank you!
