The best job you can have…

Posted by in Creative Ideas, inspiration | 10 comments

We are in a time of uncertainty. No one can deny that.

I’m seeing email and online posts in record number coming from people that are facing uncertain job situations.

There is very little job security to be found anywhere. I feel I owe it to you to make sure you realize that Internet Marketing is THE FASTEST growing industry in the world and the easiest place to put down some roots and start building a future in spite of the current economic situation worldwide.

Turn the nervous anxiety into ACTION. You owe it to your family and your future.

What I’m doing about it (for you):

-Families that are struggling with limited resources and time to commit can find their answer online. That was me seven years ago. The ideas that ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW are all gathered in one place.  MySilentTeam.com is where we’ve built a community of like minded people seeking (and finding!) online success through a variety of proven strategies that fit every time constraint or budget.

-Traditional small businesses that are struggling need to learn some basic Internet Marketing to survive. That’s why I launched OfflineBiz.com – you can help these businesses survive and thrive in spite of the current economic climate. This is such an easy way to tap into Internet Marketing and you’ll be in good company…thousands of members are already there.

-eBay continues to be an online destination that attracts millions of visitors every day…and they are all in a SHOPPING MOOD. The updated version of my book at SilentSalesMachine.com was written to help you jump on that low hanging fruit.

I thank God EVERY DAY that I found Internet marketing and eBay when I did. It changed my life forever and I now help supply income to and employ several friends and trusted partners here and around the world as a result of the small effort I started making such a short time ago.  Better yet I’ve been able to play a small roll in helping other people find success online. I couldn’t ask for a better job.

What are your thoughts? Please leave a comment (or question or observation) for me below…

    Hi Jim,

    I know this is probably a completely stupid question but as a long time subscriber, I can’t find the resource page to look at this great book you discovered. I am sorry to have to ask, but could you help me?

    Thanks,
    Susan

    (reply from Jim): The resource page link is found just inside the book “Silent Sales Machine”. There are a ton of cool resources in there. If you can’t find it send an email to my support team using this address : msteamwebmaster (at) gmail.com. Replace (at) with @.

    Hi Jim,

    As a long time subscriber and customer to you I deeply appreciate all the wealth of knowledge that you have shared all these while. You Silent Sales Machine ebook is definitely still relevant and reflects your true understanding of the power of eBay as a traffic generation tool rather than just as a way to sell stuff.

    Keep up with the great job!

    All the best

    I would like to work the offlinebiz.com system but how can I offer a service and traffic to a business when I haven’t been able to get leads for myself in all the years I’ve been trying? How will I generate and increase business to my customers and justify my fees?
    Joseph

    [reply from Jim]: Generating traffic and leads for a local business is probably one of the easiest tasks you can take on online. The local competition will be very thin 90% of the time allowing you to make them look like online heroes without spending much at all on the project (time or money). You can also turn their current customer base into an active thriving email list for them…that’s a “no brainer”. Competition for local pay per click advertising, local simple video ads, and articles with local keywords will propel them to the top of google very quickly and they will get results. That’s the sort of stuff we teach at offlinebiz.com and thousands of “newbies” are jumping into this exciting biz model.

    Hi Jim,

    I just heard your interesting talk on the $2,000 day you just had. May I ask three questions?

    1. You say that this entails running a PPC campaign, which you say anyone can learn to do in a day or so. I have always heard that PPC is a difficult skill with a steep learning curve. Perry Marshall and others have fat books teaching it. I’ve heard you can lose a lot of money at it until you get good. How would it be possible to successfully manage a business campaign with only a day’s learning?

    2. Most important questions: I don’t live in the States. I’d like to try to reach the US market from where I live. You live in Indiana. Would you be able to send your letter to businesses in, say, Wisconsin and get their business, and then continue the process by phone–or Skype–and email?

    If so, there seems to be no reason why I couldn’t do the same from outside the country. I could set up an 800 number with Skype, and take messages and return calls. What do you think?

    3. You mention spending a little on a squeeze page, and so on. This is not a problem, of course, especially if you’ve been paid $2K up front. But do you recommend a certain initial amount of cash on hand to properly start the business? Do you outsource making your squeeze pages also?

    Thank you, Jim!

    [reply from Jim]: great questions! Here are my brief answers…

    1. PPC (pay per click) can take a bit of time to master if you are working against a lot of competitors bidding on the same keywords, but with geographical searches (searches in your area) it’s an entirely easier process of turning clicks into customers. There’s just so little competition typically.

    2. There is no question that your customers can be from ANYWHERE. It’s actually quite common for this to happen. With email and skype you can do business with anyone anywhere…and many members of OfflineBiz.com are doing just that.

    3. I suggest you ONLY take on jobs where 1/2 the money is paid up front. There are so many potential clients out there that it’s just not necessary to accept anything less than that. Trust me – you need to join OfflineBiz.com. If you aren’t more than thrilled your refund will be instantly issued, but I’m positive this is for you based on the questions you are asking.

    I am a long time subscriber and have purchased a copy of “Silent Sales Machine”.
    For whatever reason I can’t seem to do anything but sell my old junk on e-bay. Maybe I am just not getting the ideas your newsletter is putting forth.
    I have an idea for an-e-book but don’t know where to outsource the work. (I am not an author). Everytime I turn around someone else wants to sell me something or have me sign up for a tutoring program. I sincerley do not have the money, in fact I am in desperate need of more income in order to care for my mother-in-law. She was left paralyzed after a stroke and needs 24 hour care which my wife quit her job to provide. I am in the automobile business and am currently making approximately 50% on my normal income.
    It sounds like sob story but I am not looking for sympathy, I am simply illustrating my need and desire to make more money. I’ll continue to read your newsletter in the hope that something jumps off the page at me, or if you have any ideas that could help jumpstart me I would be forever greatful. Keep up the great work and continued success to you!

    [reply from Jim]: if you can find a spare $59 you REALLY need to join MySilentTeam.com. You’ll earn your money back and then some from all of the great ideas you’ll find there…the bonus pool alone has 30 or so practical ideas for just about anyone to tap into…you won’t regret it I promise. Even on the limited schedule you have many of the ideas can be implemented.

    Hi Jim

    You are absolutely right in saying IM is your best career choice. In times of economic downturn, people turn in the internet not only for entertainment, but also to find bargains in eBay. A bit of savings here and there will do a lot for families who are barely surviving financially.

    Thank you so much for the information you put in the newsletter and membership site which are really valuable.

    God Bless you and your family.

    Hi—have been in the midst of I think being conned into a money making scheme via a survey. A weak moment on my part but have given it lots of thought and am now going no further with it.
    Admiitedly I have not used ebay even though I registered ages ago – am heading off to Victoria this week and will get one son to walk me through it so hopefully will now be able to take your advice correctly.
    I also cannot remember my password – is this in your division?
    thanks
    Sally

    [reply from Jim]: I’ve never been too impressed with even the BEST of the “survey” opportunities…and the worst ones are REALLY bad news. Stay away is my general advice. I am not associated with eBay though…I just teach others how to use it as one effective way to profit online. Sorry – can’t help you with the password issue. There is a “recover password” feature on ebay though – they’ll take care of you.

    Hi Jim,

    I've just recently signed up for your newsletter – thus I don't have much of a

    clue regarding internet marketing etc.

    I'm amazed at some of the strategies that you outline . . . do they really work?

    And would they work for me in Australia?

    Due to the financial crisis and the fall in the stock market my circumstances have changed dramatically and I now have the need to generate an income.

    No doubt you can assist me in this endeavour!

    What do you recommend?

    Regards,

    Peter Jaremyn

    Personally I have never made a dime online despite following various courses to the letter and working my butt off for 6 months.

    I would imagine however that I probably know more than 99.9% of people about internet marketing, I can only assume that the courses I buy are no good or that they leave something out. Still I do have a whole bunch of websites that no one goes to yet :)

    [reply from Jim]: You need to read my blog post from July 20th. "You don't need a website you need an audience". It's not my advice that sent you down the path of starting out by building pretty websites!
