In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Amazon controls nearly 50% of online sales in the USA, with that comes being loved or hated, and often the latter. Jason Boyce has been an Amazon Seller for 17 years, a Top 200 seller (of millions), he shares successes worth emulating, and how to avoid certain failures and “speed bumps” selling on Amazon. He’s the co-author of Amazon Jungle, where he and Rick Cesari share stories of customer-driven innovation, click-through strategies, reaching page 1 on Amazon search results – with insights from product design to messaging to the nuts and bolts of actively selling on Amazon: build a foundation, drive the traffic, and iterate constantly.

5:20 – “what you do to succeed on Amazon will make you a better businessperson, will make your product better, will make your relationship with your customer stronger… Amazon now is giving to brand-registered brands demographic data… keywords that working well for your, and your competitor…. what products they (consumer) buy (or search) instead of yours.”

7:54 – “I learned the importance of identifying what the market is first, and Amazon is a great place to identify if there’s a market for your bright idea.”

18:30 – to sell on Amazon you must “lay the foundation, drive the traffic, then constantly and relentlessly iterate, on everything, repeatedly… features tell, benefits sell…”

25:00 – “If you’re not there (on Amazon) you’re making your competitor stronger off your good name… every buyer in America (buyer, not end-consumer) has a Prime App on their phone and if you’re trying to sell them… they’re doing their research and ask ‘are you selling on Amazon?’ “
