Episode description

Today we meet the latest coach to join the JimCockrumCoaching.com team. In 2021 she worked full-time at her "real job", but as a professed "One Mom Show" she also sold $450K on Amazon at 20% net margin without any hired help. She even calls her approach "lazy"! Her ASP (average selling price) is $72 and she makes about $20 per sale on her various products. She never sees or touches her inventory (with small exceptions), she does all her buying herself online, and her goal is $1MM in sales in 2022. Her strategies are simple, liberating and motivational - and it's all based on the Replens model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse! This episode will be of interest to non-US based students because of her hand's free methods - she tells us of three different non-US based friends who are doing the same thing she is.
