Silent Sales Machine 8.0 in full professional audio as of Feb 2015!

By Jim

This is no longer the most recent version–
please visit SilentSalesMachine.com to get the latest update!

My all time best selling book, Silent Sales Machine (SilentSalesMachine.com) has undergone several major updates and re-releases over the years, but I’ve never been more proud of this book than I am right now.

The latest version has been “on the street” for several months now, but the full audio just went live TODAY (Feb 4, 2015)
If you are a past buyer and you want to access full audio please use this link for details:

Screen Shot 2014-03-20 at 2.39.27 PMI can hardly believe this book has been going strong since 2002! I’ve been updating and re-releasing what is surely one of the all time (if not the all time) best selling business ebooks in the world – now in its 8th major makeover/update.

What’s this book about?

Quite simply, it’s about what works NOW and what doesn’t work NOW online. It’s about where to get started and what to avoid. It’s the story of my success online and the success of thousands of others that I’ve taught, but better yet, it’s how you can join us!

Yes it’s true-  thousands of people have used past versions of this book to launch their online income streams.

Once you’ve checked out this book would you mind doing me a favor?

  • If you have a story of your own success that belongs in the book send it to me! I’ll include it (once verified of course). I always have room for new success stories!

    Looking forward to getting the update, have another small question would also like to BUY a copy of your runaway best seller, but Jim the shipping price to New Zealand is more than the cost of the book and I have also tried the Nook verion at Barnes & Noble but it appears to be restricted to USA and Canada only no International…. Really would like this

    • Jim Cockrum says

      October 13, 2011 at 2:38 pm

      as far as I know international shipment is in the works…the book is blowing away everyone’s expectations and will be everywhere soon. I’ll let the publisher know my NZ friends feel left out! It’s their job to make it happen as fast as possible for me!

    • Jim Cockrum says

      October 13, 2011 at 3:17 pm

      From my publisher:

      “Hmmm. I know the Kindle version is available to him (I will look into the Nook international issues).

      He can also buy the epdf or ePub versions from Wiley.com or the cheapest shipping option on Amazon.com and wait awhile.

      I can look more into this tomorrow morning.”

    I very much wanted to get this good deal at $5 but have a few questions when I read this blog. My questions are:
    – Do I get the completed edited copy later when it is available ?
    – If I pay for the RAW copy now, am I entitle to all your future updates on “Silent Sales Machines” as well ?

    • Jim Cockrum says

      October 14, 2011 at 5:28 am

      Great question! It’s the reason I love posting announcements like this to my blog because my creative customers always have the best insights!

      Good news on both questions.

      Yes, your purchase now qualifies you for all future upgrades/updates of the book…including the one that is coming in a couple weeks after it’s “cleaned up”. Just make sure you add your name to the opt-in list that is shown on the book download page. That is how we’ll send out notification that the book (all future updates) is ready for you.

    October 14, 2011 at 12:52 pm

    Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the listbuildingclass.com course!
    RE: capturing audio from a video – I’d try a google search with that exact phrase. I’ve seen tools that do that, and they weren’t expensive at all.
    P.S. Did you know that youtube can automatically add captions to any video you upload? It’s pretty cool…and the search engines will use the keywords in your video to boost your ranking as well. Thought that might interest you.

    Hey, Jim – I have bought your SMM book twice – both very early editions, and under two different email addresses, loved it both times and still refer to it.  I continue to subscribe to your newsletter, and read your blog; yet I have NEVER received an ‘automatic’ update of the new edition (which is why I purchased the second one actually).  Is there something I have missed that I need to do in order to be on the right list to get these updates when you put them out???  BJ Gardner

    • Jim Cockrum says

      October 14, 2011 at 1:40 pm

      you need to be on the buyers email list…we’ll be sending a blast out to that list very soon with the fully cleaned up version of SSM 7.0.

      I’m waiting on feedback and thoughts from the first few readers before dropping it out to past customers.

      The resource page link inside any old version of the book will take you to a link where you can get the new version at no cost.

     May 16th  I down loaded  your silent Sales Machine ebook. I started to read and soon after that I had to qet my computer repaired. When I went to my documents, the book had disappeared on me and there was no way I could recover it. Is there anyother way of recovering it without buying a new one.

      absolutely! The listbuildingclass.com class is aimed at helping you grow a loyal fan base…no matter if your business is online or off.

      You’d also love the 101FreeMarketing.com book – it has a lot of info about email list growth for any business (online or off).

    I have known Jim Cockrum for many years. As far as I remember the title of the first version was something like “Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay”. Even though I purchased several versions of this ebook, I never had the chance to follow through due to my SOC (Shiny Object Syndrome). I spent thousands of dollars on many different internet marketing products. I wasted a lot of money and time. In the current version of SSM on page 106/107…Jim warns the readers about what not to do to avoid failure when you begin your internet marketing journey. I wish I came across to this advice sooner.
    I decided to give ebay and amazon another try, so I joined mysilentteam.com and got the PAC (proven amazon course). No more building pretty sites and chasing for traffic. Now it is time for me to find my target audience to build an email list using ebay and find merchandise to sell on Amazon and ebay. Thanks Jim for updating SSM with tons of useful information!

  10. Jim Cockrum says

    October 19, 2011 at 12:02 pm

    If my stance on affiliate marketing seems unclear it’s because there is more than one way to approach affiliate marketing.
    Yes – it’s a huge mistake to START OUT online trying to make money as an affiliate. A total waste of your time. That’s what I emphasize in the book, BUT…

    Once you have an audience established affiliate marketing is a nice “icing on the cake” type of income. This blog post explains it all very well – once you read it you’ll have no confusion:
    https://www.jimcockrum.com/blog/2010/12/20/do-i-love-or-hate-affiliate-marketing/
    As far as “rocking your world” goes…I’m not into flashy new formulas for online income. I teach what I know works and that’s it. Common sense rarely rocks anyone’s world. I appreciate your honest feedback though.

    A challenge for you or anyone else: If you care to measure ANY online “guru” next to me you won’t find ANY of them that have taught more people how to earn a legit income online. Sure – some guys are more popular, earn more money themselves, are flashier, and they may even have MORE testimonials, but getting a testimonial that says, “Wow Guru X – you are a super guy” is not the same as getting a testimonial that says, “Thanks Jim – I get to work from home and be with my kids every day thanks to you”.

    I’m about RESULTS. That’s how I measure my teaching. Reviews, Fans, Audience
    size, my bank account digits etc. are no measure of my success as a teacher.
    The only true measure is RESULTS for my students – and the Silent Sales
    Machine book is all about THAT.

    Ignore my chapter 5 “suckers list” at your own peril!

    I just read through your SSM ebook and found some parts of it helpful. I thought it was very cool that you mentioned Brian because I’ve known his wife for many years! Small world! BTW, I graduated with you as I figured out with your wife on Facebook. You probably don’t remember me, though, because I was pretty quiet and moved here my junior year. I really think your newest marketing book is the book I really need to read since I’m looking for ways to build my Creative Memories business. I do have to be careful that I’m not breaking the company’s rules so I’m not sure what to do and can’t afford your new book right now. I’m also thinking about some ebooks that maybe I could write about preserving your memories/scrapbooking kind of thing. I have written my own book and published it several years ago so it would be nice to market it better as well. Your SSM book has my wheels turning, though, and since I have a four-day weekend (Fall break for the school system I work for), I’ll be rereading it again to really get the ideas flowing. Thanks, Jim!

      The mighty fighting Artesians!? How cool! I don’t think I came up for air during high school…worked practically full time, played on my computer and played basketball…that’s about it!!

      • Michele F says

        October 23, 2011 at 9:16 am

        Yes, the mighty fighting Artesians! I moved here my junior year, but I worked on the yearbook and newspaper staffs so that’s how I learned to put names to faces. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have known you. BTW, I’m readying your new book. I found some money I could part with and buy it. I am LOVING it. You have so many ideas in there. I really have my wheels spinning now! Thanks, Jim!

    Hi, Jim, I wanted to share with you and world how much I am getting out of your re-release of The Silent Sales Machine…it must be in the air because your ebook came out right when I needed to know how to use eBay and Amazon for a client…every chapter has golden nuggets and reaffirms many things I thought. As you know, I am a big OfflineBiz.com fan and used your advice to create my business since May 2010. I URGE anyone who wants to create the life of their dreams to read The Silent Sales Machine. (it is $5.00) More than 100 pages of REAL CONTENT with details and even what NOT to do…if I were to only suggest one AUTHOR to read about online marketing…it’s JIM COCKRUM. Heck, even the way Jim writes the book is a big CLUE about how to use ebooks to market your business. Thanks, Jim! I really, really appreciate all you do to help me and others. I am so happy I have been fortunate to have met you in person, so when I read your work, it is like you are talking directly to me!

    My success got rolling by finding where my audience was hanging out. That’s also how I’ve helped hundreds of others launch successful businesses…but that’s just a small part of one of the three business models I teach in the book. Thanks for the feedback.

    I recently finished reading the latest version of “Silent Sales Machine” and really wished I had been able to buy it a couple of years ago – it would have saved me many $ buying many IM products. I plan to read it again slowly, take more notes, and then take the next steps to start my internet marketing business. Really appreciate your truthfulness and guidance.

    • Jim Cockrum says

      October 22, 2011 at 1:14 pm

  15. Jim Cockrum says

    October 22, 2011 at 1:13 pm

    A lot of people come back around after spinning their wheels for years in some cases.  They run off and build websites, toy with “driving traffic” and “affiliate marketing” only to find out that the only people actually making any money on those arenas are the “gurus” selling shiny junk to chumps.

    Welcome back.

    Hi Jim,

    Just finished reading the SSM latest version. I¿ve been online for a while and still found great advice there. I market in Spanish language and I’m not in the US, so I’m still considering a way to make ebay and Amazon work for me (would love to see some of your ideas for people marketing in other languages/countries).

    Anyway, got other great advice. The easy video making tool you share (I didn’t know it was that easy to create videos)  was worth the US$5, as Youtube works great in Spanish.

    Also found good advice for my offline biz that I recently started.

    That said: thanks for the deal!

    Hi Jim. I originally purchased The Silent Sales Machine a few years ago. It was the best investment I made in starting my online business. The updates have been great in addressing all the latest changes and trends. The fact that all the updates have been free is amazing. I look forward to fully exploring all the new ideas in the newest version. Thanks.

    I have just started the Book and read really slow, but I my 1st comment is that I trust in Jim’s Integrity and don’t have a clue how or where to start a On or OFF line business without a good step by step mentor, but since I am in over $100 K in student loan debt and have gotten to the point of not being able to pay most off my bills due the the amount the gov is requiring me to pay each month – I sure could use free access to which ever of the two you Jim think would help me get up and running ASAP before things get worse.

    Love the quote on page 106 Jim…truer words were never spoken.

    A great book — you’re one of the few colleagues that tell it like it is.  

    One suggestion — I might pull the appropriate content from your blog posts in some areas of your book (like between pages 111 – 120) right into the book itself instead of linking.  I understand the premise behind linking from the book to get readers back to your blog though.

    Overall, a solid read as always Jim 🙂

     I loved the book but still have no notion of what to sell on ebay.  I know the basics of setting up auctions, etc, but really need some good ideas of drop shipping or something. Then I can use the book. Would like to join the membership site, but $60 plus $20 is out of my range. Things are really tight. Someday.

    Thanks for a great book, though!

      Sell anything profitable…and if that were EASY, then EVERYONE would do it. That means do what only few are willing to do, put a system behind it, and prosper. IDEAS:

      -run ads stating “I’ll sell your stuff for you on eBay”. Don’t accept junk, earn 30% or $30 minimum for your time each time.
      -tell family and friends that you’ll turn their old “stuff” into cash on eBay. Get your feet wet and get paid to learn.
      -Monitor the close out aisles at retail stores for great deals, and then make a deal with the manager to buy the whole lot for a discount. Doing ONLY that strategy is a full time living. Remember to research EVERYTHING before you buy it. Closed auctions on eBay, or current prices on amazon.

      My books, blog and other resources can give you dozens more ideas that require little or no cash to get started.

    Hi Jim, 

    Congrats on V7, and thank you for sending it to us. Super glad to see our example – Liberty Jane Clothing – made it into this edition. Our stats are crazy different now… 11,500 FB Fans, 9,000 Newsletter Subscribers and over 90,000 pdf guidebooks downloaded off our site now. Couldn’t have done it without this book… much appreciated.

    As a next step I’m taking your Fulfillment By Amazon section to heart and have decided to add that strategy to our business. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. I think it might really take us to the next level.

    God Bless Man!

    dear Jim!
    just finished reading SSM… I thought, ‘why not..? $5, I can afford that!’ it was an excellent book, and worth so much more than $5!! It opened my eyes to many new ideas. I was definitely in the camp of starting my own beautiful website, and attempting to ‘drive traffic’ to it. Why would you – it’s like building a shop 10 miles from the main shopping mall!? There were many other fabulous ideas too, and I feel like I’ve made a wise choice, and I hope a new beginning. I have a burning passion to build my own company online, and create a successful system that will generate cash for me, like you have done, ‘while I sleep.’ I have a fantastic food product I have developed and want to sell online, and I hope you and your team can help me develop a marketing system to sell it. When you talk about $100k a year businesses, my heart yearns for those kinds of returns – and when you say you will refund anyone you can’t help, well, that means a lot to me. I’ve been through a couple of ‘get rich’ courses – and guess what? I’m not rich yet. I almost signed up recently to a $5,000 course with 2 ‘internet gurus’ – promising 6 figure returns. Then I read SSM.  

    I have a passion for success, and have a vision and desire that I believe can make my dreams a reality. I have so many questions for the coaching staff – I’ll call you guys today!Best Regards, Steve Reid

    I bought the book in 2005 myself and want to know if it is still useful and should I save it (I printed it out) or get rid of it and get the new 2012 version here? I thought the 2005 version came with updates included?

    No, I’m not oposed to paying $5.00 for the new update, I’m just wondering. The information from Jim and a handful of others is worth purchasing always.

    • Jim Cockrum says

      November 9, 2011 at 8:47 am

      The new version has all current info in it, where the 2005 version is still good, but may have some outdated info.  The new version (V 7) is also very expanded with new info as well.

    I spent $10K on eBay inventory last month and will turn it into $20-$30K over the next couple of months.  USE eBay…but don’t RELY on eBay. That’s my motto.  As long as there are customers there spending money I plan to make money there.  eBay’s “vendetta” as you call it is just another obstacle to overcome, but we are doing great in spite of it all.

    Hey
    Jim,

    I
    bought the last version SSM some years ago after I started selling on
    eBay and just got done reading your SSM V7 and I must say it’s just
    fantastic stuff I got a lot more out this version than I did the last
    version, maybe because I wasn’t open to the possibility’s of
    creative thinking now my head is crawling with ideas in a creative
    way.

    I
    have to say for any newbie just starting out in the IM world this
    book is a must read as Jim mentions things you should do and things
    you should not do just make it simple in the beginning.

    Jim
    I don’t if you do this in any of your coaching programs in making
    this book a must read for your students it should be.

    Mike

    I’ve read both Silent Sales Machine and Free Marketing.  The thing that shines thru in both books is your integrity, Jim.  It’s as if you had a post it note in front of you that said, “Make it about them,” instead of the usual, “What’s in this for me?”  Such a relief to find that I don’t need to build websites, or drive traffic.  I just need to stick to the best business advice ever, from, of all people, Mother Teresa.  She said, “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”  

  35. DeborahNBrewer says

    November 10, 2011 at 8:33 pm

    I believe the 2 free chapters of Jim’s book are compelling.  After reading them, I did purchase the complete book. I have been looking for several years for a way to make a living via the internet. I am looking forward to reading the complete book.  Thank you Jim and God Bless.

    Bought the book a couple of days ago and found the information interesting enough to keep reviewing your business mode.

    I was disappointed to get an unexpected call from a member of your coaching staff instead of you. I spent my money with you and not somebody trying to hard sell me.

      I am randomly calling many readers myself to get feedback, but I also do have a couple of other folks calling as well. If you have anything other than a positive experience with them please let me know, but there’s no “hard selling” of anything from us. My team is under strict instructions to leave every person they meet better than they found them, and never do we require a phone number, or pressure anyone to do anything. We inform, educate, and work with people that are positioned for success. Thanks for leaving your feedback! Let me know if you have any other observations or questions.

    Downloaded the first 2 chapters and have now bought the whole book. Have only found time to skim through it so far but hopefuuly will get some proper time this coming week as I’m travelling a bit. I have used my own web site, ebay, amazon, discogs and gemm to sell records, CD’s and vintage postcards over the past few years with mixed success. I have dabbled in adsence and amazon associates, with consistent but low revenue. What I’ve read in the book so far has given me some new pointers which I’m keen to try out.

    Hi Jim, I downloaded the 2 free chapters of your Silent Sales Machine e-book a few days ago and I then bought the whole book within the next 24 hours. It’s Sunday afternoon over here in the United Kingdom and I have just finished reading the whole book. I must tell you that I am extremely impressed by your down-to-earth style, it’s very refreshing in this day and age. Someone who finally tells it like it is! Phew!…I never thought I’d find such a thing in the internet marketing world. I’ve folded back lots of pages and I’ve highlighted so many insightful things. This book is a real revelation. I can’t wait to learn more particularly about Ebay. My partner uses Ebay all the time to buy things. I’ve never used it, not even ONCE but that is definitely going to change from this point forward. I’m also intrigued about the Amazon FBA bit in your book. I never knew that you could sell stuff on Amazon and get them to do all the fulfilment as well. That is so cool! – Anyway Jim, I know you’ve got a course about Amazon but can you tell me if you’ve got a course about “How to Make Money on Ebay?”

    Also…where can I buy the report you did about how to sell concert tickets on Ebay?

    I look forward to hearing from you about…

    1] An Ebay course that you’ve developed or highly recommend?
    2] The report about how to sell concert tickets on Ebay?

    All the best!

    John O’Hara

      Hi Jim,

      I’ve put 101 Free Marketing on hold. I downloaded Silent Sales. What a read, especially Chap. 3. I haven’t finished reading it yet, on the final hurdle. I have Aweber, I have 12 subscribers including ME!! lol. I’m suspended at the moment, behind with payments. Email marketing is the way. I have used it but after reading Chap.3 I am learning how to make it easier for myself to use. No wonder you are where you are Jim. You have helped millions with this book, 7th update, fantastic. If you were a Brit, you should be Knighted. Maybe we could get you an honourary one. Imagine, Sir Jim Cockrum. That sounds ok…

      Regards

      Donald

    Hi Jim,

    I finally just finished reading version 7 of SSM. Being a mom/stepmom of 9 (only 5 of which are still at home), it’s hard to find the time to get things done sometimes. I’m sure you of all people know how that is. And I just wanted to take some time to let you know what I thought…

    I agree with what others have said about it being a lot different than any other previous version. I was a little confused about the jv with ebay powersellers section being removed. You do mention in other sections of the book about partnering with others. So I was curious about whether you still think this is a good idea. Lucky for me I still have older versions of the book on my computer, so I guess I can review that section of the older version to re-evaluate that idea.

    However, the new version does a great job in condensing the ideas that work into a nice overview. My favorite part was chapter 3, I reread that one a few times. I really enjoyed the link to the interview with John Jonas on outsourcing. I don’t know how I missed this before from your blog. His advice about “implementing what you know” was a aha moment for me. So I’ve taken some steps to put outsourcing to work for me.

    I also got a lot of other ideas from other sections of SSM. I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to make some extra money to get a copy of SSM or at least read thru Jim’s blog. There is A LOT of ideas freely available right here on this blog. The next step would be to take ACTION and IMPLEMENT those ideas. Now I’m off to practice what I preach and put some of those ideas into action. I’ll keep you posted about my results. Thanks Jim for all you give, keep it coming!

      I’m not against partnering with other eBay powersellers in creative ways, but the fact is, eBay is VERY picky and unpredictable, and without a stable foundation to build on I get nervous about establishing partnerships based on the continued success of any given eBay ID.

    Your version 7 is chock full of usable information. I am going to persuade my wife who is a qualified copywriter to write an E book. We will have to do some good research to find a niche subject. Thanks again, Mike

    Hi Jim, i already have the first ssm version  and purchased v,7.personally ithink they’re both great
    books. i  own a block and mortar business and would love to sell it.being almost 72 and working 60-70
    hrs.weekly is a bit much. Helping other businesses market their products or services really appeals
    to me , what you’re  teaching along with mobile access would be a great way to go.I grew up when a
    mans hand shake were all you needed…. this apparently means nothing to this generation.personal
    integerty along with self respect and pride says it all..Following your news letters and booksfor
    sometime I respect you and feel you’re a trustworthly person..What you teach makes sense.

    Hi Jim

     

    I’ve just downloaded your
    latest Silent sales machine book and sat down immediately to read it. I bought
    a copy in 2008 and was inspired by it back then, however, life got in the way.

     

    We moved from the UK were we were business advisers with staff for
    over 35 years, to living in Spain
    semi retired and no staff. Land, fruit and nut trees, olives, hens however no
    mains electric and our water was from our own well, we looked forward to living
    the good life. However it was not to last my other half became ill, the pound
    was devalued and we had to return to the UK.

     

    Whist in Spain I’d toyed
    with the idea of working online however poor internet connection and
    electricity from a generator made it near on impossible. The idea of writing a
    book was next on the agenda to be investigated, whilst working as business
    adviser for many years the information and knowledge that we had gained was
    immense.

     

    I’ve fallen into many of your
    things on your not to do list, I read your book in 2008 got fired up visited a
    forum and found a Guru and yes a website was provided and yes I’ve not made a
    penny, the guru in the mean time has made plenty from me and others. Joining
    programs on his recommendation because if you did not and anybody joined
    through your site he got your commissions.

    Reading your new book as got me
    fired up again. My e-book is being dusted down it is at the stage of being
    proofread, and I now hope to have it out by Christmas. I still have a website
    and a blog made by myself, another of your not to do things.

     

    Thanks again for your book

     

    PS I will be visiting your
    forums to catch up with what you have to say.

    Working online is an all new
    ball game for me so your e-book book will definitely be my guide this time as I
    intend to succeed

    Hi Jim

    Sorry about how my other post looks hope this one is better looked ok when I loaded could we have a preview button to avoid the problem.

    I’ve reread your book today and I’d like to add to what I
    wrote yesterday so here goes, in Chapter
    3: Auto responder’s  I’m in the
    middle setting up my Aweber account and 10 newsletters waiting to be loaded it’s
    now on hold for a couple of day’s whilst I take your excellent advice by making
    sure I put links in here and there to different blogs or pages on my
    website.  A couple of days because it
    also means a bit of tweaking to our website. Plus we will have to reread the Aweber
    info again. Thanks to Chapter 3 we
    can see that Aweber as so much more to offer than we at first realized and yes
    we agree it is the most important tool for us to learn how to use.

     

    We had some concerns about our list being in different niches
    and about if we were not able to write new content everyday if  we are away, Chapter 3 as cleared them up for us. What is better a website or an
    email list? We hope that ours will end up being good working partners. I think
    I’ll adjust my time scale after rereading Chapter
    3 again from a couple of days to a week to get my head round everything
    that we need to know about what Aweber can do to help our business grow.

     

    As for 3.3 Sorry
    Jim I really do enjoy doing the hard stuff maybe that’s why I’m not a
    millionaire YET.

    Chapter7: This chapter
    is where we are coming from as semi-retired business advisers looking for a different
    opportunity, this chapter is so true I’ve met some fantastic small business
    people. All were good at their trade, but many had very little understanding of
    how to run a business which led some of them not being able to continue with
    their businesses. We have helped hundreds of them and over the years we have
    learn’t much from each other. My comments on the other chapters will come when I’ve reread
    your book several times more. Once again thank you for my updated copy which I know will
    be well used.

    In what format(s) is the ebook available? The sample I got was PDF, which doesn’t really work properly as an ebook.  ePub is what should be used, that is the most popular/compatible, or mobi (Amazon) is a close second.  Try reading a PDF on a smartphone or mid-size tablet and you’ll see what I mean.

    I want any ebook I have to work on any device I own, not just on a computer.

    Thanks!

    OK, for five bucks, I can take a chance on the book. I just purchased it after a little hesitancy, but what “sold” me on it was Bobby’s comment:
    “I just need to stick to the best business advice ever, from, of all
    people, Mother Teresa.  She said, ‘Let no one ever come to you without
    leaving better and happier.’
