Episode description

For over 10 years, I've given some pretty hardlined advice in regards to the use of "leads lists" and "buy lists" for Amazon sellers. My basic advice has been to only use them if you are extremely experienced or flat-out crazy.   These lists are compiled by those who claim they've "done the research for you," and you can just go purchase everything on the list and make money! Baloney!!   Today, I explain why I am now fully on board with using leads lists if you have the budget for them!   What's changed? I'll explain in the episode, but the bottom line is 3PMercury and ProvenAmazonCourse.com training have caused a disruptive earthquake of opportunity for sellers!   Leads lists are now paying off in big ways for those who know how to use them properly. I explain how to use them properly on today's episode.   Watch the episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/tXvwJDijZwI   Show note LINKS:   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam  Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!
