Ready to scale your Amazon business? Click here to book a strategy call. https://calendly.com/firingtheman/amazonWhat if the path to e-commerce success was simpler than most "gurus" make it out to be? In this eye-opening conversation with Jim Cockrum—pioneer in online entrepreneurship and founder of the Proven Amazon Course—we discover why most people are looking at Amazon selling all wrong.Forget what you've heard about market saturation. With less than 20% of all retail happening online, we're still in the pioneer stage of e-commerce. The blue ocean is expanding daily, and Jim reveals his "low-low-high" approach that's helped thousands build sustainable businesses with minimal risk and investment.The real opportunity? Finding "underserved shelf space" in Amazon's massive warehouse network. Jim explains why focusing on everyday products that shoppers need quickly—rather than chasing the lowest price—creates a powerful advantage even for beginners. Through fascinating examples (like how one seller outperformed 200 competitors while charging the highest price), you'll understand why speed and convenience often trump price for today's consumers.Jim dismantles common myths about Amazon selling, clarifying how the platform's increasingly consistent policies make it easier than ever to stay in good standing. He provides practical guidance on sourcing products properly, understanding the economics of profitable reselling, and avoiding the costly mistakes that trip up new sellers.Perhaps most surprisingly, Jim shares his unconventional belief that relationships—not tactics or strategies—are the true predictor of entrepreneurial success. By the end of our conversation, you'll see why Jim's approach has stood the test of time while countless "get rich quick" schemes have faded away.Whether you're just starting your online business journey or looking to diversify your existing e-commerce operation, this conversation offers a refreshingly straightforward path to building freedom and financial stability in the digital age.How to connect with Jim?Website: https://jimcockrumcoaching.com/Podcast: https://silentjim.com/podcast-home/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimcockrum/Facebook Group: SilentJim Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimcockrumInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimcockrum/?hl=enSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2K55JmPu9WBAqmOtIaQAkfReady to scale your Amazon business?

Apart from selling great products, hiring the best they could, and marketing their products well, it doesn't seem like anything special. In this episode, Dave dives into Anker's success and the 5 controversial tactics they employed into their business that propelled them to the top. The Big Takeaway Anker Electronics is one of the largest Amazon sellers in the world. The company was founded by an ex-Google engineer, Stephen Yang.

Dave dives into the huge business of FilterBuy, one of the largest e-commerce companies on Amazon that actually does NOT use FBA. FilterBuy specializes in selling HVAC filters and is founded by David Heacock, a good friend of mine from way back in the day. We explore the company's impressive growth, why David chose to manufacture from the US and why logistics are the main business that David is in. With that being said, what business are we all in? Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Amazon makes it really hard for sellers to avoid using FBA. FBA sellers get faster shipping times, better customer service and a nice badge that says "Prime Delivery" on your listing. With all of these things stacked against FBM Sellers, how do you succeed? To answer that question, we tell you about how Filterbuy became the biggest FBM seller on Amazon based on my interview with CEO and founder, David Heacock. The Big Takeaway FilterBuy is the largest seller on Amazon that does not use FBA. David Heacock kind of foresaw how important American manufacturing would be and was one of the first to adopt the strategy. The company's success is more than just product cost. David credits it mostly to efficient logistics. Manufacturing in America allows for reduced freight costs and just-in-time inventory unlike manufacturing in China. Pre-orders or Kickstarter launches are actually a viable strategy that most sellers sleep on. There's significant cash flow opportunities on Kickstarter and you also get to order the exact amount of opportunity for those pre-orders, which is a great strategy for the pre-launch period of new products. Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to FilterBuy and Its Success 05:52 - David Heacock's Vision and Strategy 12:27 - The Importance of Logistics and Manufacturing in America 20:16 - Long-Term Thinking in Business 24:08 - Conclusion and Key Takeaways David, I apologize that we weren't able to get your actual interview up but we were really grateful for the opportunity to interview you nonetheless.

Evitar pérdidas en Amazon no es sólo cuestión de vender más, sino de vender de forma estratégica. Roberto Perna lo sabe bien: con más de seis años de experiencia en Amazon FBA, dos marcas registradas y más de un millón de dólares facturados en marketplaces, hoy dirige dos empresas de comercio electrónico y asesora a otros vendedores en producto, lanzamiento y PPC. Su trayectoria le ha enseñado que, en este negocio, el margen y la protección de la marca son tan importantes como la propia venta. Su primer acercamiento fue a través del modelo Wholesale, comprando a distribuidores mayoristas para revender en Amazon. La experiencia fue útil para entender el funcionamiento de la plataforma, aunque no siempre resultaba rentable: “El margen no era tanto”. Peor aún, los bloqueos de marca podían convertir una inversión en una pérdida segura. “Amazon nos suspendía el listing y no había forma de recuperar ese dinero, porque si no vendíamos el producto al final teníamos que liquidarlo o intentar recuperarlo y llevarlo a nuestras bodegas”, explica. Con el tiempo, entendió que la clave para minimizar riesgos estaba en entrar a nichos con barreras de entrada altas, donde la competencia fuera menor y el posicionamiento más sólido. Ese fue el caso del nicho de juguetes, que le permitió escalar su marca privada en toda Europa. Aun así, advierte que muchos novatos caen en la trampa de creer que están construyendo una marca privada cuando en realidad venden genéricos sin protección legal. “La principal causa de pérdida de dinero de los que recién comienzan es no entender el concepto de Marca Privada… Y el segundo error es subir el producto a Amazon sin ser el dueño en el registro de marcas, lo que hace que no puedas proteger tu listing, generar A+ Content ni tener otros beneficios como dueño de marca”, señala. Parte de su metodología para reducir riesgos es comenzar con pruebas pequeñas y bajo control. Lanzar cientos de unidades de un producto no validado es, para él, una receta segura para perder dinero. “Yo puedo hacer una prueba de un producto con el listing de mi propia marca y la diferencia va a ser el costo del registro de la marca… Si hacemos un test de 20 unidades está bien, pero no de 200 unidades, porque tienes que reducir el riesgo”, comenta. Validar no sólo implica probar, sino también observar lo que funciona en el mercado y cómo diferenciarse de forma efectiva. “La validación más grande es tener un historial de marcas o personas que ya están teniendo resultados en ese mercado, y luego tengo que evaluar mi diferenciación”, agrega. Esa diferenciación, sin embargo, no puede quedarse en cambios superficiales. La competencia en Amazon es tan profesional que un color distinto o una variante extra pueden ser copiados en semanas. Por eso, Roberto apuesta por trasladar ideas ganadoras de otros nichos y cuidar la identidad visual como un activo estratégico. “La gente compra por los ojos. Si logro ser diferente visualmente a los demás eso me puede bastar para conseguir una cuota de mercado interesante en mi nicho, pero debemos proteger nuestra identidad visual para que ningún otro lo copie”, concluye.

Amazon FBA inventory management is no longer a backend task, it's a profit lever just as vital as PPC. In this episode of Built by Business with Andy Isom, we break down why your inventory strategy directly affects your fees, delivery speeds, conversion rates, and ad performance in 2025. With Amazon's latest fee updates, like the low-inventory-level surcharge and storage utilization penalties, mismanaging inventory can kill your margins faster than bad advertising.
