Episode description

I learn something every episode of our podcast and today is no exception! Today I learned a creative way to do Amazon to Amazon flips... wow there's a lot of opportunity there for those who understand the basics! Today's podcast guest has been in E-commerce for a long time, but she only took it seriously recently. She's experimented with a few strategies here and there like flipping used books on Amazon or a bit of eBay selling etc with some results, but after taking an extended break from e-commerce all together for quite awhile... ...she finally found our ProvenAmazonCourse.com selling community and things took off! She jumped in with both feet, got into our coaching program (SilentJim.com/bookacall) and quickly grew a beautiful business and has now also become a coach on our team as well. One of the more interesting parts of our discussion today involves, like I said above, "Amazon to Amazon flips".
