Podcast Episode 301 – What is Holding You Back from $10k/Month in Sales?

July 19, 2025 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

If you’ve been selling on Amazon for a while and feel stuck just below that $10,000/month milestone, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Many Amazon sellers hit a plateau, even after early success.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the most common roadblocks we’ve seen after coaching thousands of sellers. From inconsistent sourcing habits to cash flow missteps, we’re giving you the clarity (and the encouragement!) you need to push past those hurdles and unlock the full-time income you’ve been dreaming about.

✅ Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been at this a while, this episode is packed with real-talk insights and proven strategies to scale with confidence.

THE FULL-TIME FBA
COACHING PROGRAM

Selling on Amazon might sound easy… but it’s not. Too many Amazon reseller “gurus” will try to get you to fall for an Amazon reseller “get rich quick” scheme, but we’re here to tell you the truth:

  • Selling on Amazon is hard, especially when you’re all by yourself… BUT it’s so much easier with a guide — and we’re here to help.
  • Selling on Amazon is not a “get rich quick” scheme… BUT it can be a “get rich slowly” plan. With commitment to working hard, combined with our expert guidance, you can start making a full-time income selling on Amazon within about a year.

That’s why you’re invited to join our 6-12-month long Full-Time FBA Coaching Program. No matter if you’re brand new to selling on Amazon or if you have a few years of experience, our coaching program will take you from where you are to making a full-time income in about 12-months.

We’ve been coaching sellers like you for over a decade and have found what it takes to help you make that full-time income dream into a reality. Find out more about The Full-Time FBA Coaching Program (including how to set up a Connect Call with me to ask your specific questions about the program).
