On Amazon, if you're a seller, you're either a reseller or you're selling your own brand. That's it, right?

Not so fast - there's an entirely new kind of reseller emerging and there's an important distinction to be made.

This NEW kind of reseller wants:

-lower risk decisions

-zero chance of going to deep on a bad ASIN

-higher margin opportunities

-software that does most of the heavy lifting

-an end to the constant dread of ASINs that die off

-no fear of gating issues

-true diversification of their catalog

-a business that can be scaled and ran by a tiny team without outside help

Reselling on Amazon is getting better because of TOOLS and STRATEGIES- and while the OLD way of "hunting for winners constantly" is still beautiful and serves many sellers quite well, the NEW way (aka 3PMercury) is so user friendly and low risk in comparison!

When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.

Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.

Today we meet a coaching student who has just had her first five figure sales month and she's thrilled by the rapid progress she's seeing as a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student. They are a foster family and her big "WHY" is to be able to be home and continue living out their calling to foster even more children (they've had 25 so far!)

The first several minutes of the episode are a compelling backstory as to why it means to much to her to have finally found a great business she can do from home and how much this community and our training has had a major impact on their family.

Today's guest Amy Tofaute

Today's ProvenAmazonCourse.com student just quit his corporate job right as we recorded this episode. He had enjoyed a 27 year career at an executive level, but the prospect of being home building his own ecommerce business offered far more reward and a better lifestyle as well - so he's jumped in to being full-time online!

In 2025 he enjoyed $700K in sales at a whopping 21% net profit WHILE holding down his corporate career - and now that he's just gone full-time on Amazon, the future is VERY bright!

Today's guest: Rick Pavia

You did the work. You sourced it, prepped it, shipped it. So where's the money?

In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood phases of building an Amazon business: the quiet period. That stretch where your brain is screaming "nothing is working" but your pipeline is actually filling exactly like it should.

They break down the real timeline most new sellers experience versus the one they imagined, why your first shipment is basically the first pancake (nobody expects that one to be good), and what manufacturing concepts like cycle time and lead time have to do with your FBA results.

Plus, Robin Joy drops a James Clear ice cube analogy that might change how you think about quitting, and Brian explains why the sellers you admire at month nine aren't smarter or luckier. They just didn't turn off the heat at 31 degrees.

If you're in months one through four and wondering whether this thing actually works, this one's for you.

Can you REALLY sell eight figures in sales shopping websites and flipping on Amazon!? YES YOU CAN!

A recent post in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com student support group recently sparked a hot conversation!

The seller showed off the sales graph for his EIGHT FIGURE OA business (Online Arbitrage). I reached out to ask for an interview, and today's episode is exactly that!

The opportunity to help fill the underserved shelf space on millions of products on Amazon is far BIGGER and expanding more RAPIDLY than any of us fully realize - and today's episode it just more proof.
