It keeps getting better and better. I sold on ebay for awhile, but got tired of the packing and mailing. Now I do success coaching for women executives, but with the downturn in the economy, that is temporarily not as lucrative as it could be. I purchased another online marketing for local businesses course and paid a lot of money for it. The course has excellent material and covers all the bases, but it is still difficult to get started. I still have not obtained my first client. I had a few false starts, but no success yet. I am very interested in getting help to obtain my first client and more. Since I already paid so much for the other program, I really can't afford to join offline biz, but would you offer coaching without being a member of offline biz? I hope so.</p> [reply from Jim]: Members of OfflineBiz.com and MySilentTeam.com always get the best pricing and often free access to the products I offer, but non-members always have an opportunity to purchase as well. OfflineBiz.com is only $49 to join and $9 per month. It will be worth it to be a member when we start offering coaching. Hi Jim,

Jim</p> [reply from Jim]: to add ebay buyers to your email list for follow up you'll need to import them into your <a href="http://jimcockrum.aweber.com" rel="nofollow">aweber.com</a> account. This will generate a confirmation email. Make sure you only do this for customers that give you the OK to be 100% safe with spamming issues. EXAMPLE: send customers an email inviting them to join your list and send them to an opt-in page. It's easy to set up an opt-in page even if you don't have a website.

I hope it doesn't feel like I'm beating you up with my response, but we all start at the same starting point online. Your income level, education, background etc. can't be considered a disadvantage here because anyone can become an expert and grow an audience if they put their mind to it. My 10 year old (without help from me) now has youtube.com videos being seen by hundreds of people every day. Over 40,000 views on his account...and a huge list of followers. He films and uploads them himself. He picks the topics himself. The starting point FOR YOU is to find a need a meet it. Find a problem and solve it. Find a market and give it what it wants. There are no quick fixes to huge success. There are MANY ways you can start at least some income income though very quickly. Most of those ideas revolve around eBay. Buy things locally that are in demand on eBay. You'll find them cheaper locally and then you can sell them for profit. Readers of my SilentSalesMachine.com book get a steady dose of those product ideas. From there you can grow and expand into any number of different options to make money online. Jim…
I’ve come to the conclusion that building a mailing list and either writing a book/ebook or selling ebooks, is one of the better methods to build a mailing list………….

With a book or ebook, one becomes somewhat of an authority on that subject, thus, we would have a basis to develope our own group of followers ………

The mailing list without a product to promote may not be able to provide adequate content to keep the people coming back to us for more knowledge etc…………sooo

How about you put yourself in our shoes…broke, clueless,over-whelmed and confused….and take us by the hand STEP-BY-STEP how you would start an ecommerce business, if you were to lose EVERYTHING that you currently have… and YOU had to start from square one to rebuild your ecommerce business…..Kind of like a business plan…………..

I’m in, if you approach it from this angle, otherwise we’re still a bunch of gerbils running around in circles, completely confused and wondering where in the heck to start……….

Thanks for your great information..

All of the info I receive from you is fantastic. I have been selling and buying on ebay for a number of years. I enjoy trying to make money on ebay. With your info I received I will be better informed. I am at a point in my life that I just want to make money to add to what I make teaching golf. One main goal I have is to create enough money that I can fund my son's Memorial golf tournament. I want to make it a tournament that people will look forward to being envolved in. I want to add to how special the tournament is already. This takes money. We now give two one thousand dollar scholerships to my son's High school's athelete program which is fantastic. With the info I received and furture help this is what I hope to acomplish. Your ministry work sound wonderful. Sounds like you are a man with his priorties in a positive direction.
