  • #975: How Free Community Support & PAC Can Transform Your Amazon Business
    Mar 5 2025

    In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy discuss the incredible power of community and structured learning for Amazon sellers. They highlight the My Silent Team Facebook Group, a free resource where 80,000+ members share insights, answer questions, and help each other navigate the ever-changing world of Amazon.

    They also break down the Proven Amazon Course (PAC)—an affordable, ever-expanding library of expert-led courses designed to help sellers at any stage of their journey. From beginner basics to advanced sourcing strategies, PAC offers tested, real-world methods that have been vetted by experienced Amazon sellers.

    Why free community support is a game-changer for eCommerce success

    How PAC provides a structured, low-cost way to learn proven Amazon strategies

    The power of asking questions publicly vs. private DMs

    How to set realistic goals to avoid burnout and ensure steady growth

    If you're looking for expert guidance, a supportive community, and real strategies to grow your Amazon business, this episode is for you!

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Am I big enough of a seller to justifying putting a policy/legal expert on a monthly retainer? If you are selling online at all, this small investment is likely justified!"

  • #969: Secrets to selling above the Buy Box
    Feb 19 2025

    In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, Brian and Robin Joy dive deep into the multidimensional buy box and how sellers can price above it while still making profitable sales.

    They discuss how Amazon's regional fulfillment system impacts pricing and delivery times, why volatility in the buy box is an advantage, and how tools like Keepa and SmartScout help sellers make data-driven decisions.

    Plus, they break down Amazon’s InStock Head Start Program and share a powerful analogy to explain why holding firm on pricing can lead to bigger profits. They also reveal a gold-mining approach to finding profitable ASINs in bulk and how automation tools like 3P Mercury and Nepeto are game-changers for sourcing.

    Whether you're a new seller or looking to refine your strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you optimize your pricing, source smarter, and scale your business.

    Tune in and discover how to maximize profits by selling above the buy box

    Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I add ASIN's to my Amazon catalog if I've not yet ordered them or purchased them?"
