Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s Thoughts on Jim’s CES II Conference
Rabbi Daniel Lapin expresses his excitement and appreciation for Jim Cockrum’s CES II Conference – a gathering of entrepreneurs building multiple streams of online income. http://jimcockrumevents.com

Hey Jim,

I’ve been a big follower of yours for about 1.5 years now. I’ve read (and re-read) “Marketing 101 Low and No Cost Ways to Grow your Business” front to back twice and listened to it at least 7 times. My brother-in-law used your strategies to market an online MLM business to $30k net discretionary a month. He was the one that turned me onto you and told me to read and reread your book and incorporate every part of it possible.

Thanks for your content, thoughtful work, and integrity.

Sincerely,

—Ted Sanders

Dear Jim

Just thought I’d drop you a line. I’m enjoying your Silent Sales machine ebook at present. I enrolled on PAC also last week as I need to expan and build my amazon business and need new direction.

I was interested in your comment in the SSM ebook I think it was where you say that building a website and doing affiliate marketing you’re gonna get slaughtered! And that you’re probably the only guy saying this. Well, I think you are the only guy. But, I agree.

I signed up with a well known UK internet marketer last year, and spent 100s of hours following instructions, built a shiny website, created free gift, sales funnel, spent over $200 on solo ads from well known solo ad sellers with tonnes of testimonials, got plenty of opt-ins, had the follow up sequence emails set up in aweber, but sold not one high converting affiliate offer, absolutely nothing. Even after following instructions, creating free advice emails, affiliate offers for relevant products, etc. Over 2 months of regular emails to my list, still nothing. I followed the training to the letter, but, became so dissillusioned, and now realised why 97% of Internet marketers fail, and get slaughtered.

I would get an open rate of perhaps 1% on emails, and a trickle of unsubscribes every day, some spams, etc. All this from “quality” traffic I had bought.

I asked around on whether my experiences were unusual. I got talking to one well know lady solo ad seller and she admitted people are tired of opening internet marketer’s emails.

I realised that unless I had a really good product of my own, brilliant sales copy, superb sales funnel, and a whole bunch of other things in the equasion, I would fail at internet marketing, just like everyone else. I talked to the marketer who I bought the training from, his product is good mostly, but the promises of 6 figures are a pipe dream I feel for most.

For the successful internet marketers, many of them I think have to sell their soul to the Devil, to make it big. They have to hype their product to the hilt, with many promises of the same riches to all those who buy their training. I may be wrong, but affiliate marketing is not what it was several years ago. I realised that the training course I bought that was relevant 3 years ago, had seriously outdated in many parts, especially with regard to sales pages, and free content to offer subscribers.

I know it’s possible to succeed, but, I cannot find it in myself to become one of the herd that with affiliate marketing sells “frustration” to other desperate newbies who want their own internet business with the latest training, that only the smartest and most dedicated will be able to succeed in.

So, maybe $1000 later, and after being on your list for 2 years, I have begun to listen to your take on things. I already have an amazon business, and ebay, but want to do better, far better with them. I have a host of ideas, always have, and want to create different income streams.

I like your manner of teaching, it’s grounded and honest, and you said what I was thinking myself, about the affiliate marketing.

Just thought I’d tell you this, and many thanks for the excellent info you provide.

Kind regards,

—Simon Charlton

Hi Jim,

My husband and I have taken several of your courses, and made $ off of all of them – ProvenAmazonCourse.com, and LiquidationInvestmentTraining.com & PEC [Proven Ebay Course]. We are still doing all of them in one way or another…

–V. Alexander

Hi Jim,

I wanted to write to thank you. I really wanted to write this when you asked for success stories for CES but I was so afraid you might pick me. I am an introvert by nature and the thought of getting on stage scares me to death. Anyway I was at CES and it was absolutely amazing.

My story starts 7 years ago. I was a bad alcoholic and had been since I was about 18. I had hit my rock bottom and knew it was time to change my life forever. I met a beautiful woman who I just knew was meant to be the mother of my children. With her help I have been in recovery for over 7 years. She has saved my life. My dream was to get married and start a family and that’s exactly what I did. Been married to my wonderful wife for 6 years and have a 5 year old daughter, a three year old daughter, and a one year old son. I am very blessed and the proudest husband and father you would ever see.

Once I got sober I discovered I had an entrepreneur spirit. I started selling used CD’s and DVD’s’ that I bought off Craigslist on EBay. I had a ton of success on EBay but then discovered Amazon. I sold on Amazon for about 3 years. I merchant fulfilled all my cd’s and DVD’s’ and my business was thriving. I was selling over 100 items a day and working a fulltime 40+ hour a week job as a server engineer. The problem was I was getting burned out. Once we had our second daughter it was too much to run the business and work my 40 hours a week and I chose the wrong one. I stayed in my job and quit selling online.

Over the next few years I became miserable at my job. I knew I was a entrepreneur and going to work at a job was just not for me. We had just had our 3 child and our daycare was up to 2K a month so I was working to pay daycare. My wife and I knew this was the time for me to come home and be a stay at home dad and begin a business. I knew I could start a business from home and went on a search. I looked back into Amazon and came upon the PAC course. Your blog and the PAC course hooked me in.

I jumped in head first in October 2012. My sales grew gradually and last month I had over 16K in sales. I had replaced my JOB salary. Here I am today. I spend all day with my kids and don’t miss them growing up. I have a business I LOVE and I’m so very proud of. I could not be happier and I have you to thank. My family is the most important thing in my life and I am able to be there to take my kids to school every single day. I really appreciate everything you do and the way you help people. You have helped me become a successful entrepreneur and an even better father.

Regards

—Matt

I am 68 years old and a widow and suddenly went from my husband and I each earning an income to having to do it all alone, and I have desperately needed an additional income source for some time now that was something I could do on my own that I could reasonably expect to add a little extra money to my income each month without having to reinvent the wheel and was also a venture that I could afford by being able to start slowly. In all honesty, I have hope for the first time of being able to do that now.

Most of all I want to tell you how much I admire and respect you for your honesty and integrity and your heartfelt desire to help people change their lives for the better. You are an AWESOME person, Jim, and I am soooo grateful for you and your business.

God Bless You!!!

–R. Huskinson

This is unbelievable. Way beyond my wildest expectations for FBA. Just passed $2K for the first time. Thanks to PAC/SAMS and the discussion forums.

–D. Courtney, N. Carolina

I just completed six sessions of coaching with one of Jim’s coaches who has helped me jump start my new Amazon FBA business venture. The coach’s in-depth knowledge of the business was instrumental in helping me go from zero to over several thousand in monthly sales within just three months. His ability to listen to my needs and his friendly, clear, and affable communication style made the coaching experience fun as well as educational. I highly recommend coaching to anyone who is serious about learning the online business.
Best,

–Dr. C Wolf

I purchase the PAC over a year ago – it’s a real life-changer – thank you!

–T. Miller

This note was sent to Jim after he was the keynote speaker at the 2013 eBay Radio Conference:

Where do I even begin to thank you for all that you did for the eBay Radio Party & Conference? You were an absolute shining star and went more extra miles than we could ever have dreamed of asking or even hoping for… Your presentation was absolutely stellar; you gave so generously of yourself in talking with attendees throughout the event; and I heard you were amazing company at lunch. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

We feel privileged as well as very fortunate to have had you as our keynote speaker, and I know you are a big part of why our attendees went home feeling it was the best eBay Radio Party & Conference ever. Thank you! Sincerely,

–Betsie B.
Event Coordinator
eBay Radio Party and Conference

I am Rudy W. and I became a coaching student in Jim Cockrum’s programs in 2013. Since then I am now making 6k a month with one of the Ebay business models the coaching staff recommended. I was very skeptical since I failed at many different ventures before coming to this coaching program. But I am now 5 figures with my soon to be gone teaching job. As a kid from Compton, California, I never thought I could achieve at these levels of success, but I am… I am tearing up as I write this review. Because I failed so much and spent almost 15,000 in courses but I never quit… When i found Jim’s coaching and website it changed my family’s life overnight.

If you are reading this testimonial, then its time to stop with the shiny object syndrome and just stick to Jim Cockrum’s coaching and all his products.

However, the products and biz models are not what separate Jim’s coaching program from everyone else. But its the people he hires that separates his coaching program. There are many people who offer coaching, biz models and products. But its the people Jim hires .”leaders create leaders”.

Nathan and Terry are the best… Nathan helped me get over my fear of failing. I was so scared on my first phone call with him, Nathan’s voice and confidence calmed me alone. Nathan assured me I could do 6k a month in my niche if I worked…And I did… Terry just has a presence about him that just exudes success and makes you feel like no matter where you start you will experience a certain level of success with the coaching program…The coaching program can make no guarantees…But if you work the coaching program will work.

Jim’s coaches have their own online businesses which makes them that much more amazing because they make you feel as if your the only one they are dealing with…And they never make me feel as if I am bothering them…And I know I do…Lol…

I am now working on my second offline business and I have no doubt I will be successful… especially since I have MySilentTeam.com…But nothing works unless you do and keep and open mind… If you listen and do these things and work success will happen for you…Jim and his team offer no quick fixes…But tried and tested methods that have worked for the last 9 years…

Big ups!!!!! to Nathan, Jim Cockrum, Terry, Robin and Lexy…I never wait very long for them to get back to me…They wont leave you lost in any process. Each one of those people all have top notch spirit and energy newbies need to to be successful.

You’re about the only guy online who has actually produced courses that have been making me money online. I thank God for you.

–Andrew H.

Hi Jim – I’m KILLING it on Amazon thanks to YOUR provenamazoncourse.com advice (along with – in my earlier years of selling – Jordan, Nathan and a couple others) My “Units Sold” and “profit per unit” have SKYROCKETED. My returns are upwards of 300% net of commission/shipping/fba fees/pro merchant subscriptions etc. My 5 STAR 100% perfect CUSTOMER RATING ALONG WITH A “1.00” PERFECT INTERNAL ACCOUNT SCORE have given me the ability to work from home FULL TIME (I have a part time weekend only job to cover ALL bills+child support). To scale my biz, EVERY SINGLE CENT earned on Amazon using the FBA platform get reinvested into more/more/more inventory. Positioned beautifully for the upcoming holiday season.

–S. Friedman

About Coaching with Jim’s team:

I just wanted to drop a note to say “Thank You”. We started with the JimCockrumCoaching.com training program about a week ago. Let me tell you, if ever there was a skeptic….its me. I am very cautious of how I spend my monies, effort and time. So I checked everything and place I could to find the lies behind the promises. No way I was getting sucked in. The team graciously answered all of my precommitment questions and worries – it was no small feat. They worked with every road block in a professional manner. Never did I feel ashamed, demeaned or stupid. Thank you for treating me with respect.

This is NOT a cookie cutter training program. The Training team will work with you at your level, within your interests and goals for your business. I am ssooooo excited about the program. I am just beginning to “see” the possibilities for us and our business. I am so excited, words can not even wrap around how energized and please we feel. I feel like we have aligned ourselves with group that truly will hold to their promises and if we do our part……there is no limit! I look forward to the future that is now opening for us. It is a bit overwhelming too like a kid in a candy store….

Thanks so much for opening up yourselves to allow people like us to grow in a way that we did not have the opportunity to do so EVER before.

–Joe and Holly

I took your coaching class (jimcockrumcoaching.com) last year – its the best money I ever spent.

–W. Villagran (as posted on Facebook)

Believe me when I say that I am not making this post to brag or gloat, I intend it to be serious motivation from other newbies like myself who are having trouble getting started or doubting whether this works. I started with the provenamazoncourse.com course (FBA) less than 45 days ago.I have done most of my sourcing from Craigslist and Goodwill. Up until yesterday, I had sold 61 items with gross sales of $1063.88. Not too bad. Just TODAY, I sold a ****** that I sourced for $80, for $389.99. Sold a Brand New *** that I sourced for $10, for $149.99, and a Lego toy I sourced for $10, sold for $34.99. So my total so far including today jumped to 64 items sold, gross sales of $1638.57.
My wife and I are having a blast. I think we are convinced this works and will be looking into some wholesale purchasing soon.

Full speed ahead!

Hi Jim, I have been following your teachings for a while and have purchased 101freemarketing.com book etc. Excellent book thanks – we use it in my traditional software business daily. I appreciate your integrity and genuiness which is in sharp contrast to may “internet marketers”.

Hello Jim,

Through your coaching programs we have changed our life and our family. We have been able to increase our giving (time and talent) to our church and to others. We have also been able to offer work for over 5 people. Within 3 months of purchasing one of your courses I quit my job to be available for my son (who has health issues) and to build our business. We hope to have my husband quite his job in the next 6-8 months as well.

You and your organization has changed our lives. We have a financial security we have never had before. I would be honored to help you to highlight what hard work and your programs can do. We are on course to do over 1/2 million in gross sales this year, pretty impressive considering less than 3 years ago we started with $100 from our emergency fund.

–R. Johnson

Great conversion rate with your most recent email blast. I had experienced 12% before with my previous products, but you have exceeded 13% – brilliant stuff.
Thanks again, Jim.

–Gareth K.

Of all the routes I’ve taken, mailing lists I’ve been on, and people I’ve followed, I seem to connect most with your approach.

Take care,

–B. Metcalfe

Our Amazon business continues to thrive. Many of our friends and acquaintances have asked “How do you do that?” or “I want to do what you do” I am sure you get that a lot. The first thing I tell them is to go to your ProvenAmazonCourse.com website and signup for your courses and training material. Without fail, the ones who have followed my advice have started to see positive results and the others (every single one who doesn’t follow my advice) are floundering. It’s amazing and a testament to your products and services. The ones who have purchased your training materials are sooo enthusiastic and I think that attitude serves them well.

–L. Harper

Thanks Jim for being such a great teacher with such a generous spirit.

Warmly,
–Mary B, Long Island, NY

The ProvenAmazonCourse.com course is netting me about $300 a month so far, you were right!

On a cold icy morning (that would be rather danerous to try to “Go To Work”) I reflect on the new chapter in my life since 4th qtr 2012. I remain very active as an entrepreneur and business owner and I am thankful to God that I also have my “Dream Job” that allows me to work from the safety and comfort of my own home. I love going to our office and working with the staff there, I really miss them today! How grateful I also am to have the liberty to work from home. I personally am thankful to Jim Cockrum and the principles I have learned from www.offlinebiz.com and www.101freemarketing.com that have made it possible for me to not only serve as a marketing director but also make an impact on their local business!

Hi Jim,

I love your vision and what you’ve done to help so many people, including me! My wife and I have four young daughters, we homeschool, and my goal is to free my time to spend much more time raising my daughters, being involved in their schooling, and serving others together as a family.

As a family we spent seven years living in southern Mexico doing volunteer work, being supported by the donations of others, before returning to the U.S. almost two years ago. Since returning, I have been working to build businesses and we have really struggled to make ends meet, but thanks to you that is turning around.

At a breaking point about 9 months ago, I had the choice of getting a job (and watching a lot of my vision die), or immediately adding a significant new income stream. I chose the latter by investing in your jimcockrumcoaching.com program, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It was worth every penny, as that training is now making me several thousand each month and allowing me to pay the bills.

Sincerly,
–C. Leake

Last year we were only doing a few hundred per day. Mike started Amazon in late October, he was full time on Ebay for 10 years. I quit my job in August to join the business full time. Now we’ve grown to a point where we may need to hire another person full time. I LOVE the potential of this business!

“I hope God Blesses you and your family for not only this Christmas season but for a long, long time to come.

I attribute the vast majority of my success to what I’ve learned from you.

Your zeal for wanting to help entrepreneurs become successful really shines right through everything you do!

Again, God Bless.

I, personally, know what a kind and helpful person that Jim is. A few years ago, when I was an out-to-lunch newbie, I had downloaded something important (to me) and I could not find it, no matter what I did. I was on Jim’s mailing list and so I sent him an email wailing for help, never expecting an answer. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but an email from Jim giving me clues as to how I should find my download. He never left me until I had actually unearthed it. Then I cried…How often does a busy business man take time to help a clueless dummy? Jim Cockrum is an absolute PRINCE. He is kind and helpful and honest. All these attributes are rare nowadays, especially in internet marketing. Thank you, Jim!

–P. Jayne

Hi Jim,

Just wanted to thank you, Jim for the ListBuildingClass.com” course that I bought just few days ago.

Thank you for making this product at very affordable price, and hundreds of times valuable than the few bucks it costs.

I learned so much, your course is straight to the point, easy to understand and really changed the way I think about email marketing now.

You are my true mentor.

–Laimonas

I am in the process of reading Jim’s Silent Machines book and I really love the content and concepts that Jim explains. I especially appreciate that Jim does give an overall look at different marketing concepts of what is working and how it is working.

–M. Johnatan

Jim,

1st off Thank you so much for your amazing information that you share. You are my go to person when it comes to the web. I told my brothers “if it comes from Jim Cockrum or his crew… you can trust it!!!

I completed your coaching which was amazing…

I’m already seeing profits in my FBA business of around $400 month. And it’s been only 3 months. I am now using profits to source more products and no longer need to pull from my paycheck. I have done so many “get rich crap” programs and to finally get something that works like it says it will is just amazing.

Thank you again and God Bless.

Always Grateful!
–Tony M., Washington DC

Gee Jim,

You must be exhausted!

Constantly swimming against the current is a very tough thing to do…

I’m impressed with YOUR concepts. You are definitely a “different voice”, and
I for one, am grateful.

… truly refreshing!

–Craig M.

Jim,

WOW!!! Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

You truly are the most trusted and honest person on the internet.

This book (101FreeMarketing.com) is a very informative book that will give you detailed information on how to get going with your own business. Whether it is online of offline, this book can show you new ideas-

–JD McAdams

Jim,

I just listened to your 101FreeMarketing.com book. I love your approach and your suggestions are priceless. I can’t wait to implement some of your strategies. Actually I started using some of them as they were described to me. I got so excited with the information that I also bought the book on Amazon, signed up to your email list, followed you on twitter and Facebook. Your “next door neighbor” approach is fantastic. Keep the information coming and we’ll keep listening. I also referred your book to one of my valued customers who owns a business.

Dear Jim,

In the movie It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Jonathan Winters made an observation about businessmen. Being a young tyke when I first saw that, I believed it to be pretty much true. Now you come along and break the mold with your attitude and ethics. Kudos to you, but now what happens to my view of how the world operates?

–P.M. King

It has taken me many years to find someone like you on the internet and believe me I have seen them all in the 22 years I have been hanging around the internet.

–C Washington

My sales are six figures a year and growing. We did 25K last month.

Up until three mo. ago I was a one man band. I have taken your advice again and hired someone to do the listing, boxing, shipping and etc. No box tape for me anymore. That I believe is the reason for my best month in sales last month.

I just want to thank you Jim for all that you have done for me and so many others over the years and I really look forward to whats lies ahead in the future.

God Bless,
–W. Stanila

Why are there not more people out there like you Jim? It seems like you are one of the very few online who tell it how it really is. Others sell pipe dreams. Thank you for steering people like me onto the correct path towards success. God bless.

–J. Bowdoin

You know Jim, I love learning, I love college, but having you as a mentor is just as fun as college plus way cheaper and can see results immediately.

(a loyal blog reader)
–JT Johnson

Your success from teaching students to be successful is unmatched as far as I’m concerned.

–Kevin Griffith, Atlanta

First off, your blog and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course rocks. You rock. I know, flattery will get me nowhere but I really love what you are doing. Love your books and your PAC course. Kudos, my friend.

–Brian McGee

I accidentally stumbled on your post where you were talking about affiliate marketing and that it’s not a business. So I thought it has to be something interesting and kept reading. Right after that I read 2 free chapters of your SSM book. You know what? You are the first of soooo many internet teachers that I sighed up to email list specifically for getting your email. And your emails are the first that I actualy reading them :))). All other email lists that I joined were just to get that free thing offered. And usely useing an email address that I never check).

You showed me that marketing is not about lying! Now I can be a marketer with a clean conscience!

–Taras

This (101FreeMarketing.com book) is a Great book, Jim! (As is your “Silent Sales Machine”)

Thanks for all the effort you put into your materials to help us all out!

–C. Morris

Jim, Congratulations on making a true, genuine, and creative contribution to the art of eBay selling. ALL eBayers should read it…

Marlon Sanders (yes, THE Marlon Sanders!)

I wish I had purchased “The Silent Sales Machine” months ago. I’ve read a lot of ebooks in my day, and I can honestly say after reading the first page of yours, I printed out the rest so I could read every word carefully. Thank you for the fantastic ideas!

Natalie Williams
Founder
Online Sellers Association

Dear Jim,

I bought Silent Sales Machine some months ago and was blown away by its content! I really got my money’s worth! You leave no stone unturned! Even a newbie like me can understand it. Of all the products I have bought on the Internet, this is my most prized and valued possession. I can’t wait to get my copy of Auction Traffic Cash.

Good Luck in your continued success!

Jerry

Jim,

I gotta give you credit for my story. You are the one who showed me eBay and how to harness it by driving traffic to my site as well as YouTube etc. My efforts have now spurred a great cult following of my business. My thanks to you.

We are kicking butt! We developed a nice track record on eBay and we are now taking orders for my “Build-A-Bug” program. We are running our business with a year and a half wait time. People want us to build a bug just for them!

Chris Vallone

(To read Chris’s full story click here)

We ( my wife and I ) have a great start – it’s been you that has been our inspiration for our online business.
Both of us have had our problems,now unable to return to work, we thought we were done. Beaten! We didn’t know anything about the web. We heard you’d been fired too when you started your online career. At least you had an idea what you could do online. But it must of been a very mixed up feeling for you the way they responded. “Just fire him! That’s what we’ll do,that will fix him”! What a thing to do to a person. I guess that’s the way businesses are today. Your just a number to them. That must of been terrible to have to bring back to your family. Honey I’m home and I got fired. WOW!

After a couple of adventures on the internet did we come to a conclusion were we lost. We lost are pants on the first two adventures. Had no idea what to do.We had no experience on the internet at all.

Then we found you Jim. Started to read everything you printed. We started to do some research. Started to be a believer again. You became our inspiration,a God send. We bought some of your ebay software that worked out great. Everything we have learned from you is starting to turn to gold.

Jim,I can’t even begin to tell you how much you have given us. We appreciate all that you do. All the sharing,your insights,experience,your ebooks,just the excitement you give. It’s all just incredible for one person to keep giving. We have a life again because we started to believe.You have been a true blessing for us. Thanks for everything. Just a couple of friendly ebayers,Glen & Fran Wentworth

The Truly Accidental Entrepreneur

I “met” Jim Cockrum through a recommendation on an entrepreneur’s Yahoo discussion group. The group owner and my friend, Rhea Perry, challenged us to read Jim’s ebook and write about a passion we had during our summer break. It was a fun summer project I thought I would try. Little did I know how this single challenge and first ebook I ever purchased would change my life. It was the kick-off of an online consulting business before I knew I had it in me.

I wrote the ebook, and to my surprise, made sale after sale. It seemed like Monopoly money coming through my Paypal account since what I wrote was my passion and something I knew well – selling books on eBay. After writing the ebook and marketing it to all my best friends on the Yahoogroup (all 500 of them) it was then I realized the work was just starting. So like all good entrepreneurs I stuck with Jim. I watched and modeled nearly everything he did.

I recruited my teen son to create a website for me. I didn’t understand the basics of doing so but did what seemed to work for Jim. By the way, it wasn’t the best looking website since my son was just beginning to learn this whole internet ATM machine thing himself. That ugly website worked though. It was the portal I used to collect names of people who were interested in my niche.

I sent these interested people good quality information with an occasional picture of my chickens, children, or house. I began to care deeply about the people on my list with the common ground of what I loved to do. Another “Jimism,” and the one that has made the most money for me, is to write as if I am talking to one person, not a group of people. That one person ideally is my mom in mind while I am recommending products or writing about my passion. If I’m not comfortable recommending or talking shop the way I do to my mom, I need to rethink my strategy.

These methods just cost me lots of time up front but very, very little in upfront cash. The ebook was written in Word and converted through Adobe into a PDF document. The website is hosted for less than $10 and the newsletter form with my auto responder which allows me time off is hosted through Aweber for $19 a month. For less than $50 I was up and running. The creative part comes in through networking and finding people in online communities who have the problem you have written the solution to in your ebook. Since I was writing in a familiar niche I had several boards and lists where I knew people who were interested in my niche. It was natural to recommend resources. By the way, I recommended not just my own products or services but many times my competitors’ offerings if they had a product that served a potential client better. This built trust and respect with my list.

My most cherished lesson from reading the material Jim sends out is to just do it. It can be fixed after it’s created. The internet is the business entrepreneur’s best friend. You can be creative and show your level of caring for your customers like no other medium. To not feel threatened by others coming along and becoming successful along side of me is a philosophy I adopted through my association with Jim and his colleagues at his membership site. It was eye-opening and one I still have trouble teaching people to embrace. We’re all partners in success. Our market reach is worldwide, that’s a lot of people to influence and there is plenty of room for sharing.

Your imagination along with the magic of technology is the only limitations you have. This equates to so many variables in business models that it isn’t advantageous to compete with someone’s idea verbatim. Conversely, it’s synergistic to put your resources together with another person of like mind and reach the market at a different level together. Those people who think old school or in a limited resource mindset will undermine their very own success online. My best business partners are marketing in similar ways to nearly the same target as I am. Our ideas exponentially grow and we leap ahead in our businesses through working together on projects or at least learning from one another in open discussions.

Today, seven years after that summer challenge, we make money through selling physical books online, a consulting membership website, training materials, affiliate marketing and live seminars. I have three of my eleven children working in our full time business all of which is online. My 18 year old son catapulted from that first ‘ugly’ website and presently makes a very good living with his design company. The money that our several streams of income bring in is nice but my greatest blessing is that I can influence and partner with people who have a similar vision as mine. My message is heard.

The internet truly has given us the ability to create a life we love. You can, too!

…we have benefited from the work that you do and the easy way you present information for your students. For years now, I’ve known that online is the place to be. I just didn’t know how to get there and be effective. Thanks to you and your team, I AM online and learning more everyday about how to expand that presence. Just received your book (101freemarketing.com) yesterday (from Amazon, of course!) and in just the intro and first chapter, I’ve marked and starred and highlighted tons of stuff! (RE: working the ProvenAmazonCourse.com plan): Our plan was to keep buying new inventory with all the money we received in payouts from Amazon, which we did, with few exceptions, through November of last year. Over the course of May-December 2011, we invested about $5000 of personal funds as well. We received a 1099 from Amazon showing gross sales of $90,000.

When I read Silent Sales Machine by Jim Cockrum I was literally blown away. I did not sleep for 3 days because I knew this information would change my life – and it did.

One of the premises of the book is:

  • Grow an audience (with an email list)
  • Give away valuable information
  • Develop a positive relationship with the readers
  • Occasionally mention products (using affiliate links) that YOU believe in.
  • Use Aweber.com and Clickbank.com to automate and monetize the process.

I have used this exact information to revolutionize my business. I had already written an eBook about Selling on Amazon – but I had no idea on how to promote it or how to make money from it. This is where Jim Cockrum comes in.

After reading Silent Sales Machines, I collected the emails of JUST the visitors of my website. This is all done with the visitor’s permission. They can sign up and unsubscribe at anytime.

Just to give an example. Two days after Christmas, a business partner of mine sent me an email telling me that his book was on sale during the holidays. I immediately sent a short note to my email list about the news. 80 people bought the book, and I made over $800 in commissions in TWO days – JUST by sending a short three-sentence email.

That’s just one product. I promote products all the time, and I see the commissions continue to roll in. Imagine what happens when my email list continues to grow…the possibilities are endless.

Jim’s eBook changed my life. Some books have the power to do that. It’s rare, but it does happen. This is one of them.

Selling on Amazon’s FBA

I enjoy your writing (ok really not trying to suck up here) and I got excited re-reading some of your SilentSalesMachine.com book last night. It reminded me that there was a ton of stuff that I MEANT to do around e-mail list building and affiliate marketing with FBA sites and forums, but I’ve been focusing mainly on growing my own Amazon business (ProvenAmazonCourse.com). I wanted to provide you with some tangible “proof” of our Amazon FBA business so I have attached some screen captures of our December business and our total business to-date. If you would like to look up our customer feedback we operate as “*******” on Amazon.

Listen as Nathan, director of Jim’s coaching team (JimCockrumCoaching.com) interviews one of our recent students about the fast success he’s had using the ideas he gained from MySilentTeam.com as well as our coaching program. Being wheelchair bound and partially paralyzed hasn’t stopped him from banking $10,000 in his first 90 days!

In April, I accepted a challenge from God to use my many years of experience working virtually as a base of experience and start a website to help other disabled persons learn how to do the same.

After several months of research, www.Enabled4Success.com went live. During the process of development I realized that this site would also help not only those we ordinarily think of as persons with disabilities, but also the “economically disabled” — those who for reasons beyond their control need economic stability, yet are unable to go the usual route of getting a job.

With that site established as a labor of love, I returned my focus to my own business. However, in the interim work from my main clients had reduced and I needed to increase my own revenue streams. I promised the Lord that unless he showed me otherwise, I would start looking for more clients for my writing and business development skills. Within an hour of sitting down at my desk to start in on this, Jim Cockrum called me personally. This discussion turned me back in the direction of my heart’s desire — Internet Marketing.

In July, God let me know that the stumbling blocks I was encountering were because I kept thinking of this as a business. That day he told me:

“As long as you see it as a business, it cannot succeed. I have called you to a ministry of helping, which is your heart’s desire. I have equipped you and prepared you to come along side those in business to make their business a success. Be My tool and I will reveal the very processes to accomplish this.”

God solidified all of this with that call from Jim Cockrum.

Equipped and inspired, I started learning everything I could as a new Gold Member of OfflineBiz.com. Since it was within only 10 days of Christmas, I knew that I’d need to wait until after the holiday season to begin marketing my services. So I focused on learning all I could in the interim. Yet, in the midst of this learning time and in spite of not marketing my services, referrals began coming in. People began asking me to help them with internet marketing for their businesses.

Today is just a couple months later and I have yet to set out to intentionally seek clients. Yet, because God is in the lead of these efforts, people and businesses continue contacting me asking for my help in this area. I’ve actually become too busy to market my services for the simple reason that I do not need to.

Opportunities keep appearing and referrals continue going out, all because God is doing it. I have long loved Proverbs 3:5-6, but now I am truly living it in my business.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

As I watch this business unfold with God at the head and focused on His plan for it, I have found that the previous verse has also come to life in my business.

“So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.” — Proverbs 3:4

It has been amazing to watch what God has started continue to grow through his efforts. I am but the instrument, working at what he gives me to do as he connects people to me. I have the joy of helping others achieve new levels of success in business. I am in awe.

In my opinion and experience, a God-directed business is the best way to go. If you have any questions for me on this, please don’t hesitate to ask. Drop me an email at jenn (at) iqt2.com and we’ll talk.

On a cold icy morning (that would be rather dangerous to try to “Go To Work”) I reflect on the new chapter in my life since late last year. I remain very active as an entrepreneur and business owner and I am thankful to God that I also have my “Dream Job” that allows me to work from the safety and comfort of my own home. I love going to our office and working with the staff at Coast2CoastTruckingPermits.com, I really miss them today! How grateful I also am to have the liberty to work from home. I personally am thankful to Jim Cockrum and the principles I have learned from offlinebiz.com and 101freemarketing.com that have made it possible for me to not only serve as the marketing director at Coast 2 Coast but also make an impact on their local business!

Last spring I signed up for the JimCockrumCoaching coaching program, and Nathan worked with me. He was able to help me realize a profit in my online marketing business. Last year I made gross $35,000 selling XXXXXX. I have a website Blog that I am working on currently as well.

Earlier last year I bought about 500 XXXXXXX for $250 and I have sold a number of them having cleared probably more than $2,500 and still have about 25% that still need to be processed with 25% of them still available on Amazon. I have one book that is worth $1,000 though it has yet to sell. The Mentoring program has proven to be the best investment that I have made to date.

I took your ProvenAmazonCourse 4 mores ago and made over $6k in sales not knowing fully what I was doing with my kidpreneurs. I want to thank you very much for your help and thorough program.

You are right! It is not common to find the rare student who takes action but it is also uncommon to find the rare teacher who walks the walks and talks the talks. Good doing business with ya and thanks again for all your help!

Hi Jim,
My business partner, Dave, and I are doing really well selling on Amazon FBA (using the PAC course).

We retailed over $180,000 last year with only 15 months in the business.

Thanks so much for your ideas and inspiration.

Ted M

1st off Thank you so much for your amazing information that you share. You are my go to person when it comes to the web. I told my brothers “if it comes from Jim Cockrum or his crew… you can trust it!!!

I completed the FBA coaching and it was amazing. I still go crying to her (my coach) with questions and she always responds. Best instructor a person could have.
I’m already seeing profits in my FBA business of around $400 month. And it’s been only 3 months. I am now using profits to source more products and no longer need to pull from my paycheck. I have done so many “get rich crap” programs and to finally get something that works like it says it will is just amazing.
Thank you again and God Bless.

Always Grateful!

$80,000 for one month of sales? Absolutely unreal. Congrats! I only know you from being on your membership sites, and I am not a family member or such, but I must say, even I am proud of you! You got fired or let go from a job (I’m sure not appreciated or valued), and now look at you! I hope they know about your success. Couldn’t happen to a better man.

Thanks for sharing and for all your help.

I, personally, know what a kind and helpful person that Jim is. A few years ago, when I was an out-to-lunch newbie, I had downloaded something important (to me) and I could not find it, no matter what I did. I was on Jim’s mailing list and so I sent him an email wailing for help, never expecting an answer. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but an email from Jim giving me clues as to how I should find my download. He never left me until I had actually unearthed it. Then I cried…How often does a busy business man take time to help a clueless dummy? Jim Cockrum is an absolute PRINCE. He is kind and helpful and honest. All these attributes are rare nowadays, especially in internet marketing. Thank you, Jim!

Why are there not more people out there like you Jim? It seems like you are one of the very few online who tell it how it really is. Others sell pipe dreams. Thank you for steering people like me onto the correct path towards success. God bless.

Happy New Year Jim!

What do I like about your blog, membership sites, books or newsletter? Everything and then some – a great informative resource to have around. Wonderful information.

Yvonne Jenkins

Jim,

My kids and I had been using eBay for about six years, mostly for fun, and to make some money from old things we didn’t use any more. With the lousy economy and my engineering consulting business in the dumps, I decided to try expanding our eBay use to see if I could make a living at it. Like you, I decided that after a while, the 60 hour a week routine of listing, selling, packaging and shipping wasn’t for me.

Some time after that experience, I checked out the book titled ‘Your Internet Cash Machine’ from my local library and read the whole thing – except the chapter on eBay, in which you present a guest article. Because of my eBay experience, I thought to myself “Nope – not gonna do the eBay thing – been there, done that,” so I just skipped the eBay chapter entirely.

Well, thankfully I liked that book so much, I checked out the audiobook version from the library a couple months later, and was listening to it while driving, and just decided to go ahead and listen to the eBay chapter. I listened to your guest article at the end of that chapter, and Wham! I’ll never see eBay the same way again! Why didn’t I think of that! It was the best 9 or 10 minutes of eBay/internet money making advice I’ve ever heard.

I just heard that guest article by you, and then purchased a few of your related eBooks all within the past couple weeks, and I’m putting your strategies to work right now. I’m so excited by the whole thing, I hate to turn off my computer at night and go to bed!

Thanks a million Jim, and I look forward to working with you down the road as I get my own internet cash machine rolling.

Scott

Hi Jim,

What I really like about your blog, membership sites, books and newsletter is who “you” are.

You’re the real deal and all your content is full of useful ideas that have worked and can succeed. (Not hype and outdated, misleading info.)

Dave Reto

Jim,

Thanks for your great FREE information on your newsletter… I also love MySilentTeam.com, going to the members area and reading through the Bonus Pool and all the great free stuff that you and your team that are giving away is fantastic – I been a member to the site for 1 1/2years.

I am so grateful finding you and reading your very first book My Silent Sales Machine (it was meant to happen)…

Reg B.

Hi Jim,

Your book was one of the first products I ever purchased about doing business online. It helped me a lot with eBay.

I’m still with you as a member of MST and love the bonus pool goodies. Your open, honest approach and integrity are always apparent in your endeavors.

Tracy D

Well, the thing I like most about Jim’s is how much Jim content /help he gives away for free. He is always helping with the latest and greatest trends and with general things to.

At both of Jim’s membership site he is always there to give some FREE advice or ideas.

This is why Jim Cockrum is the #1 Internet Marketer on the planet. The one thing that I like best about his teaching is that he respects his customer.

This past year I have had really really bad customer service from different places. One of which was a dispute over $20. I would have used them again but that dispute turn me off. Jim gets that the customer is right.

Latest, the thing that I like most about this blog and Jim himself is that he is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. To the extent that it kind of makes him the black sheep in the IM niche, but he does not care because we the loyal readers are is number one priority.

Rob

Hi Jim,

We are just getting started in our business and your information has helped a lot. Thanks for providing all the valuable information and help. The information included in My Silent Team has help get us started in the right direction. We like the continuous information on your blog that gives us news ideas for our business.

Charles

Thanks for all the great ideas this past year! Two years ago we developed a management program that we wanted to market online. As we searched the web over for the “pros’” ideas on how best to do this, we came across your website, blog, etc. You are the only one that we’ve stayed with thru 2010…..just felt comfortable with you… and your methods are real!

Randy

Love the newsletters and information on your website. Looking forward to 2011 being my year to complete move to full-time business owner – and I know you will have helped me get there!

Tosha B.

1. I began an eBay business for the first time in 2010. Moderate success, but I was able to learn the ins and outs of ebay (shipping, pricing, etc.).
2. 2011 is the time to branch out. “The Silent Sales Machine” book is awesome. I need to create products and create a website away from eBay with automated purchasing and downloading. That is true residual earning.
3. I love the weekly newsletter. It always has something in it that can be automatically integrated and used.

Jason

Jim, I really appreciate your wisdom and insight that you share with your readers…thank you and keep it up!

Andy Long

You produce the best quality content on marketing. I’ve read so many business books this year and I’d say yours gave the most immediately actionable info that didn’t cost me a bombshell.

Thanks for the tip about not relying on your Facebook page! I would never have thought to use my Facebook popularity to build my list. In fact, I found your book on Free Marketing just when I created my Facebook page. At the time, I was so excited to see my Facebook numbers rising that it was satisfying in itself!! What can I say, I’m easy to please. Any way, I had 38 Facebook likes at the beginning of November, now I am 200 shy of 10,000!! My mailing list has gone from zero to just over 1,000!! I know that these are great results because I have been dabbling in two other niches where I haven’t had nearly so much success. I’m enjoying every minute of interacting with my fans.

Now this “popular highlights” tip, I know that’s going to come in handy.

Literally, you and Mequoda are the only marketing experts I currently hold as precious right now. Every email has to be bookmarked to be read!

My sales are six figures a year and growing. We did 25K last month.

Up until three mo. ago I was a one man band. I have taken your advice again and hired someone to do the listing, boxing, shipping and etc. No box tape for me anymore. That I believe is the reason for my best month in sales last month.

I just want to thank you Jim for all that you have done for me and so many others over the years and I really look forward to whats lies ahead in the future.

God Bless,

I actually started my Internet career by tripping over this book called Silent Sales Machine. It made a lot of promises about online success that caused me to be cautious. I did not buy the book until a year later.
It was a mistake to wait, although now having read and devoured the suggestions made within the material, I have a successful online business.
It’s my full-time job – so I guess, thanks Jim for that.
By combining the ideas within Jim’s book, it has enabled me to build both an ebay and my own online shops, as well as picking up Internet Marketing revenue a long the way.
The revelation for me was putting all the pieces together:
In other words: use ebay as a marketing tool as well as a “sales machine”, build the subscriber list and reach how to like-minded people who can be your greatest friends.
I hope this makes sense. It took a while for me to appreciate what needs to be done to be successful online and I am still having to learn heaps.
It doesn’t stop, but it can be great fun learning as you continue growing.
Thanks
Regards
Gareth

Just wanted to thank you, Jim for “ListBuildingClass.com” course. I bought it just few days ago.
Thank you for making this product at very affordable price, and hundreds of times valuable than the price tag.

I learned so much, your course is straight to the point, easy to understand and really changed the way I think about email marketing now.

You are my true mentor.

God bless you and your family.

Kindest regards,

Laimonas

Jim your blog and websites have helped me a lot, I know I can trust what you put out or who you recommend. Keep it up!

Craig

Your blog is so very on with there being so many competitive “Make money on Internet” sites. I been reading your stuff ever since I bought Silent Sales Machine years ago.

Looking forward to many more great tips. Thank you!!

Roger Miller

I have owned SSM and been on your list for several years now, and am a long-time member of MST. During this time I have subscribed to, and unsubscribed from many lists. Very few seem able to resist the lure of the commissions they can earn by promoting the latest shiny objects, regardless of the quality of the products. But over the years you have always shown the utmost integrity and your subscribers can be sure you will only ever promote quality products.

As for My Silent Team, it rocks! It must surely be the best value-for-money internet marketing product by far. The fantastic products in the bonus pool are worth hundreds of times the cost of membership, and the forum is absolutely priceless, thanks to the members who so generously share their experience and give genuinely helpful advice to others.

LynnN

With the help of your Silent Sales machine book in 2010, my Ebay sales really took off and I also utilized Craigslist like I never have before.

Scott Kremser

What I like foremost is your complete honesty. You say it like it is, with no BS in between. Your product recommendations outside of your own, even though somewhat far and in-between are always of high quality, developed by respected and trusted marketers.

I have purchased several of your products, all of which are top notch. I subscribe to your newsletter and blog, and have snooped around the membership sites. Everything is A-1 and I wouldn’t hesitate a second to recommend any of your products or recommendations to someone looking to get involved with this business, and I have made many recommendations.

Thanks for all you do for us and just Keep Doing It!

Mike Mulanax

I’ve enjoyed your marketing tips for a couple years now. Great work!

Charlie

I just found you about a month ago and I have since decided to stop reading any other “guru”. For the past two years I have spent too much money on various programs with no results.

Rob Walling

I’ve learned that I only trust a few marketers and you’re top on the list!

Dorothea

I’ve been following you since you first published “Silent Sales Machine”! I’ve looked into other programs but always came back to this great resource. You’ve always been true to your word; such as, I always get my e-mails and invites to different venues you have! It’s really great!

Bea Mussoline

I am not blowing smoke but you hit the nail on the head. There is a lot of crap out there. It took me a LONG time to find someone who tells it like it is. That’s YOU.

Mark

Jim,

I wanted to personally thank you for providing the best advice about starting businesses (online and offline) and taking action to create results. Your content and advice just helped me sell a domain for $1,200 that I purchased five years ago for $10. Your advice has also help to “kick me into gear”… I’m finally taking consistent action with my business! I can’t until I join your Offline.biz site later this week!

Thanks again Jim!

Would just like to say thank you. Somehow many years back I got my hands on your eBook Silent Sales Machine. And that got me started off profiting through eBay…one thing led to another and I was already running my internet marketing business while still in university. Now I’ve graduated, have 5 full timers and run a nice 6 figure business.

We’re still growing the business and looks like 7 figures is within reach soon. Whatever the case. Would just like to say Thank you Jim. For creating that product, it definitely proved to be the start that changed my life. =)

We started Liberty Jane Clothing on Ebay a couple years ago. My wife was truly great at making 18 inch doll clothes, so we quickly found a following. 12 months later we were powersellers, and making around $1,000 per month. One month we even topped $1,500. The problem was we had reached the limit of our business model, (which consisted of Cinnamon sewing outfits all day long, and listing them on EBay). Although we were happy to be making some nice money, she was burned out, so we really needed to figure out a new approach. Unfortunately our operation just wasn’t sustainable, or scale-able. We needed to figure out how to leverage her unique skill, while letting her sew less. We had already decided that making mass manufactured items, or selling other peoples’ mass manufactured items, wasn’t right for us. And hiring people didn’t seem right for us either. We were stuck.

Then we got your book “The Silent Sales Machine”. The message was clear – build a list, and offer digital products to your customers. The entire summer of 2009 we debated publishing Cinnamon’s patterns as pdf guidebooks. We knew we could do it, but worried about whether it was the right business strategy. It felt like a huge gamble. Would we be creating an army of competitors all using her patterns to undermine her auction prices? Would other people take her work and go further and farther than we’d been able to up to that point? We decided to trust Jim’s advice, and go digital. That month we set up a new site, www.libertyjanepatterns.com, published a few patterns as pdf guidebooks, offered some for free, and ended the month having sold 11. It was the start of a new product category for us that had one huge benefit, it was easily scale-able.

Within six months our pattern guidebooks category was making as much as our Auctions ever had, and the decision to offer digital products had proven to be a no-brainer. None of our fears materialized, and we’ve discovered more benefits than we could have imagined. Today we are adding over 100 people per week to our newsletter list, and last month we had over 2,200 patterns downloaded. We have over 2,500 Youtube subscribers, and over 2,600 Facebook fans. Our business model today includes:

A Spring and Fall line auctioned on EBay, (Final bid prices range from $60-$110).
The pattern guidebooks through www.libertyjanepatterns.com
Publishing other seamstresses pattern guidebooks, (for a percentage of sales).
A premium partners site, (this is a monthly subscription model).
Buy-it-now items and accessories, (like shoes), sold through our websites
A Design Academy course which teaches people to make doll clothes

And by allowing other seamstresses to use our patterns for sew-from-home businesses for free, (we call them partners), we’ve actually created an interesting secondary market that hasn’t diminished the value of our original outfits, it’s actually enhanced them. In the near future we are working to overhaul our websites to accommodate the continued growth, and we’re working on publishing two exciting new ebooks which we know will be a hit with our customers.

Thanks for your publishing the “Silent Sales Machine” Jim!

I loved your book, “Marketing 101” so much that I have read the book and listened to the audiobook version 4 times and I recommend it to my clients all the time. I coach 100’s of small business owners here in the UK and the feedback is always amazing. Thanks Jim

“…by the way, silent sales machine, is far and away the best starting point for someone who is lost and jumping around the internet trying to make money.” John Augustine

I agree with everyone here. It is excellent to see you getting the recognition you deserve for your years of hard work and honesty. The “corporate” business world can benefit greatly from your wisdom.

I can’t wait to see you on the big network TV circuit 🙂

Now… for how I have benefited from your teachings.

My life and business have both been impacted significantly from meeting you. There are so many things that I have learned from you that I have used over and over to build massive lists and sell hundreds of thousands of dollars in product.

1. Build a list. Every marketing piece you do should provide a CALL TO ACTION that provides clients with a way to get regular communications from you.
2. Communicate regularly with that list.
3. Provide massive value. Up front. For free.
4. Sales are a natural evolution from a Relationship
5. In everything you do be honest, ethical, and sincere.
6. People want to buy from people, not corporations. So, tell your story.

That is just the tip of the iceberg. You have provided me so much value over the years.

Your teachings result in me getting emails like this one regularly. (i got this, this morning from one of my friends on one of my lists)

“Good morning Chris, I’d rather buy from you, do you have any thing that compares to this? This kind of covers everything I need to get started.
Thanks
”

Attached to the bottom of the email was a link to someone else’s product.

I mean come on, someone else’s marketing generated a buyer for me… thanks to what I learned from you about lists and relationship!

Thanks again,

Sincerely,

Chris Johnstone

Hi Jim, Wow I don’t know where to start. It is because of your help with mysilentteam.com, offlinebiz.com and your newsletters that I am doing what I love every day. 2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with back problems to my L4-5 and S1 vertebrae and to add to our distress my wife Pam was laid off at the same time. As look back it has been one of God’s greatest gifts that He has blessed us with! We didn’t know what to do or where to go to find it. Like many people we thought why not try the internet and eBay. We started our journey by taking some bad advice from a late night eBay guru, then from a drop shipper that cost us thousands. But some how, God led us to someone called SilentJim and his team. Since then we have created a retail online company, an offline biz to local businesses, and I have given seminars and workshops to businesses both online and in a classroom. Finally, when my 35 yr old daughter was told she had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma I was able to have her quit her job and work for us to reduce her stress. I would say you have helped us not to become rich but wealthy in so many ways. Thanks Jim and we love living large!!!
Bill and Pam Reese

I love this guy!

I have been a member of Jim’s newsletters for about 7 months now. That guy is my inspiration, I’ve read some of his books, there was so much information in them that I didn’t know about, filled with tips and ideas for money making. I consider him to be one genius, brilliant man; I think he is the reason I have succeeded. I recommend everyone to joins the newsletters and buy one of his books, even though they’re not that cheap. I bought one and it was totally worth it, every penny. I’ve read the same book about 3 times.

Thought I’d send you a quick note. First, your newly revised book is fantastic…there is a lot more “meat and potatoes” info in it. You have really expanded it a lot. I keep reading and re-reading and I love it.
-Sandi DeMulling

(editor note- every time we update our book we send out a copy to all past customers free. This is a living document that will continue to contain cutting edge concepts and creative ideas.)

Hello Jim, I bought your book over a year ago and continue to read and reread parts of it. There is so much info in it! Still enjoy the newsletters also.
Thanks,
Ginger

… I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity that changed my life. I was pretty much stuck in a dead end job as an independent contractor driving and delivering mostly material related to the auto industry. Luckily I read your book, joined MySilentTeam.com, and started doing the ######## in June. I was able to replace my income within 6 weeks! I’ve also purchased several other courses through you.

I keep the following (quote from Jim) in plain sight at my computer.

“Don’t be the guy with skills. Be the guy with big ideas, and then find the people with the skills to get you there”.

Take care & God Bless,

I had 8 orders within the first 24 hours of our items posting through FBA, and 2 more orders are pending. On the first 8 items sold for around $150 after fees, and our profit on that was just over $100.

I am fully sold on FBA and I can’t wait to get more toys and books shipped to them. I am also going to send all of our remaining inventory to hopefully move it by the end of the year.

Thank you for your help!

Caleb

{note}: Caleb sent this email to us after his first few days of going through the JimCockrumCoaching.com program as he started selling successfully on Amazon.

I got my answer to whether I needed this course (ProvenAmazonCourse) just briefly going over it…and the answer is “yes”. Never seen so much concise information in one course.

Thank you Mr. Cockrum!!!!!!!

Dear Jim,

I bought Silent Sales Machine some months ago and was blown away by its content! I really got my money’s worth! You leave no stone unturned! Even a newbie like me can understand it. Of all the products I have bought on the Internet, this is my most prized and valued possession. I can’t wait to get my copy of Auction Traffic Cash.

Good Luck in your continued success!

Jerry

I purchased your e-book last Saturday. Read it once over the weekend and I’m re-reading again right now. I would suspect that I’ll read it several times. Just wanted to send a little note to let you know that pound for pound, this is great information! Thanks again for creating such a great product! Gaston

I am VERY selective about the books I recommend to my list. Yours was so good that it selected itself! Martin
(editor note – This comment was sent to Jim after Martin picked ‘The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay’ as one of his top 3 eBooks of the year on his website. Martin has almost 30 years experience in marketing and sales. In addition, he successfully runs an advertising consultancy dealing with blue-chip clients in the USA and Europe.)

If you are ready to take your business to the next level, you need to have Jim as a mentor. My guideline for a mentor is they must be a person of integrity, have proven systems in place, successful and able to coach others. Jim not only meets my criteria but goes beyond. He was able to look at what I was doing and provide constructive ideas for building my business.

As a result of Jim’s advice and encouragement, I now have a system in place for my business. He gave me the confidence I needed to step beyond my comfort level. Not only have I earned back my investment but I have positioned myself for an even greater earning potential.

If you are looking for someone to give you a bunch of forms to fill out and hold you by the hand, then don’t sign up for Jim’s mentoring program. But if you are ready increase your earning potential by learning to think outside the box and see the potential you have, then don’t miss this opportunity! I have a partner for life and I can’t begin to put a value on being able to work with Jim.

You have a lot of great info in your book, ‘Silent Sales Machine.’ I have been searching for the best way for me to break the code of internet marketing. Your book definitely gives me renewed hope and confidence that i can be successful beyond my wildest dreams.

Thanks Jim,
Arthur Johnson

I think your book is a great buy, for several reasons, even though selling on ebay didn’t work out for me, albeit that the reasons weren’t connected to your advice, but were down to family issues.

Nonetheless, your advice did give me a huge understanding of ebook backend sales, which ‘pushed’ me into writing my own ebook (on a major health-related subject).

The book is now in its final edit, and I’ll be joining MySilentTeam.com for advice on setting up the affiliate links for the ‘backend’, as well as for marketing advice before it goes ‘live’.

I can thoroughly recommend Silent Sales Machine to anyone who wants to change their lives without having to take a ‘leap of faith’ without a parachute! Because it doesn’t just give you the ‘nuts and bolts’ of Internet selling, it also stimulates the mind into whole new areas and approaches to maing a living.

See you on your membership site MySilentTeam.com soon.

Silent Jim is the Real Deal

I bought Jim’s ‘Silent Sales Machine’ many years ago, and it was one of the very few products I bought early in learning about internet marketing that was and still is of great value to me many years later. His private site membership is also well worth it, not only in all of the freebies for members, but the forums are a goldmine. I’ve referred to those forums frequently to find the real and truly reliable information we all seek to find strategies, programs, people and ideas that actually are worth the investment of time and money.

Maybe the biggest roadblock in terms of success with internet marketing is information overload! There’s always another shiny object out there, another slick sales letter to lure your focus away from the current goal. Jim knows that and specifically teaches how to avoid that huge pothole. Along that road, I have canceled most of my subscriptions to various newsletters and blogs, but never Jim’s.

It has become so common in the make money online world to hear regularly of a new ‘launch’ of some new product or service, usually highly marketed by several of the top gurus who are all JV’s for each other. Jim is not part of that crowd. Rather than jump on the bandwagon of new launches, Jim will recommend only after the product or service has been tested by him and team members to insure value.

After many years of listening to Jim, I’d recommend him as a man of integrity who is true blue without reservation.

In our first week using the ideas in Free Marketing, we posted some astounding numbers (for us, anyway). We set a record for monthly visits to our content site in only seven days and reached more than 6,000 people through social media and our email newsletter.

While we’re still ramping up, this quick start is proof enough that the techniques in Free Marketing really work. Here’s what we did last week:

1. Published daily posts at http://livingtodayforward.com
2. Shared posts via social media and used Facebook’s promote feature
3. Emailed our first weekly newsletter to our contacts thanks to a gmail export

In the next two months, we’ll keep doing with daily posts and weekly newsletter and post 16 videos to YouTube and Vimeo, publish two Kindle books, and introduce our re-designed web application. Based on the last week, I have no doubt that this combination will produce outstanding results as we move forward.

Thanks for writing such a useful and timely book!

Sincerely,

I loved your original ‘Silent Sales Machine’ book, but I would have to say I really love the newest edition a whole lot better. I have read the newest editions at least 20 times so far. I have single handedly create a list of 145 people by using your affiliate program and splash page in less than a month.
At this time I am creating a campaign for my “Creative Marketing Tactics” Newsletter, an idea that hit me while reading your book Silent Sales Machine. I have been a student of marketing since my wife and I purchased a small ISP back in 99’. Well to make a very long story short we were not able to get licenses for high speed since most of our customers were in rural area’s. So instead of losing half of our customers to high speed we sold out early to larger local ISP and made a profit.
That is when we first found e-bay back in 2001. We sold a lot of our equipment on e-bay and then started selling other peoples stuff for them as well. We charged a hundred dollars plus a 20 percent commission to go to people homes catalog and take pictures of what they wanted to sell and use our ebay id to sell there stuff.
All the best

Thanks Jim…since joining MySilentTeam.com it has been/Is a fun time in my life and a blessed time, I’m well aware of that.

I love talking on the forums, so I’ll be hanging around as long as they’re asking…

I acutally got an email from James Jones who said he’d do an interview with me if I’d like ( I know him from the Coaching group with you, a guest speaker, and from the Slackers group I was in…TWO DISTINCT mentoring groups, let me tell you)))) James said he saw your newsletter with my ebook in it and said he’d do a promotion for me in his way also. How Fun! Also John Thornhill mentioned he would. Loving this…

But you gave me my first break, took a chance on my ebook, and none of these opportunities would be here without that… I GET that…and am grateful for your help and continued support…And as I develop some other items to go with the ebook relating to Half.com, I’m hoping to give back to you with more chatting on your forums and money in your pocket)))

Happy Monday!
Marijo

Have been reading your work for some time now and have just begun to get back into things and regroup from some setbacks. You are to be congratulated on the way you operate your business. Providing solid products and excellent customer service is the cornerstone of any business (as a footnote, I operated a brick & mortar retail/service operation for over 30 years, so I think I know a little on the subject)

I have lately been thoroughly disgusted with the “launches” of other marketers, and the affiliates that say “buy it from me, I have better bonuses” Who are they kidding, who’s interest do they really have at heart? If I hear the term, “launch your business to the next level” one more time I’ll be needing to clean my keyboard ’cause I’m going to be sick.

Thanks for being an inspiration for me to get back at it, and just keep doin’ what your doin”

Regards & Blessings,

“Jim Cockrum of MySilentTeam.com recently approached us for a review copy of our product. We agreed to send him one to him and after approving the material, he suggested that we add a “secret discount” page to our website that only his MySilentTeam.com membership site would see. This was in exchange for a full price mailing to his main list. Even though we were initially a little concerned about previous purchasers hearing about the discount, they were short lived. It was a huge success and we didn’t receive any complaints from other customers because only Jim’s members knew about the discount. Over the course of 7 days the promotion generated 273 sales and $15,563 in revenue and Jim was in the top 3 out of nearly 850 affiliates who promoted the product during launch week. Tim Godfrey”

Long Time Newsletter Subscriber

I have been receiving Jim’s free newsletter (Creative Ebay Selling News) for almost 2 years and it has been a wealth of information for me. I have learned to take advantage of the traffic my ebay listings generate by using Jim’s “about me page” advice.

I have read Jim’s “Silent Sales Machine Hiding on Ebay” and have found it very useful, although I think it probably served a greater purpose when he first came out with the book in 2002 (largely due to ebook rule changes by ebay since 2002). Even still, the book changed the way I think and feel about the opportunities that exist on ebay.

-Grant Paul

Regarding Jim’s $10,000 one-on-one auction on eBay:

I will contiune to watch this auction and hope to win .

I am a member of two of your two membership sites (offlinebiz.com and mysilentteam.com) and read a lot of your material. The knowledge I could learn from working with someone like you, makes a 10,000.00 auction look like pennies.

Charlie C.

Great books! You have opened my eyes. I am fairly cautious about offers such as yours, because I am afraid I will get ripped off, but you deliver! There is more useable info in your book than I got when I was talked into spending over $5000 at an Internet Marketing seminar to set up six web stores. I never sold a thing, and was glad when that loan (yes, I took out a loan for their product) was paid off. Your techniques do the same thing without the expense.

G. Shawk

I was in Jim’s first coaching class in early 2008. It truly was an education on what really works in Internet Marketing. I was first exposed to video marketing when Jim had Michael Koenigs on as a guest. I knew right away that this was where my interest and passion were. Since applying what I learned in that session I have been making an increasing paycheck through clickbank with video infomercial marketing. Thanks Jim, because of all that I learned from you in the coaching, I am seeing many of my dreams come true.

This Is The Best

I have bought Jim Cockrum’s Silent Sales Machine book and was fascinated by how he makes money. I have made a site and people coming rapidly thanks to this book. Everyone should buy this. It took a while to get started for me, but it was worth the wait.

as posted on review site IMreportCard.com by user raffles

Just a quick note to let you know how much I appreciate the information
in your E bay book.This is the first book that I have bought that makes any sense to me.
The others are just too confusing and they always seem to leave out enough information to make
sure that their system doesnt work. I work very hard long hours and stay up half the night trying to make things work
on line for my family. I am sure that there is a place for ppc, ppa, squeeze pages, landing pages and mini sites in
my campaigns later, but I needed to start from something I knew about.

Once again thank you so much.
Best regards
Rob O.

I’m well into reading the Silent Sales Machine and I want to thank you
for writing such an excellent, information packed book. I can’t wait to implement
some of the strategies. It really got the creative ball rolling which is just what
I was looking for.

Keep up the excellent work.

My opinion about Jim Cockrum

The first time I’ve heard about Jim was in 2009. I’ve checked him on internet, and I find out that he was a well-known man because he wrote a book that one of the best selling books was on Ebay. So I bought the book from Ebay, and when I read his book I was impressed. Because of his book I started to make money online. And because of him I succeeded. Now I have my own site, where I earn quite a lot of money. Now I’m really interested in Jim Cockrum. I admire Jim, because it’s hard to write a good book, what has a lot of information in it, and because it’s useful and it sells well. So my opinion is that Jim Cockrum is a great man who has achieved something in his life.

Thank You! I followed the exact steps you outlined. The results have been awesome.I expect to profit about $350.00 from a $40.00
purchase. Within 24hrs of placing the add, the response has been amazing. Instead of chasing around hoping to find product,folks are emailing
opportunities to me. I’ve been a member of craigslist for a while,but never used it for my good.
Now,I have found a niche that can help bring more $$$ to me. I am going to be more specific in the next add I place. IT Really Works!

I have received your emails about two years. FINALLY, a month ago I joined MySilentTeam what a Great Choice I made! I should have
joined long ago. Following your step by step guides is a sure winner. NEVER have I experienced this type of SUCCESS anywhere else.

I can truly say. MySilentTeam will lead me to Great Success. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Really Good guy with great services

Jim is one of the good guys on the internet. He is really great at checking out and recommending programs that can help you make money. Plus his own programs are really good. A ton of people made a lot of money with his program about selling diabetic test strips on eBay.

His membership program thesilent-team.com is awesome. Low cost and high value.

I have been a member of MySilentTeam.com for many years and I read everything you write. Last night I was at a meeting where an “Internet Guru” was making speech to a group of about 120 people. I did something I never did before. I stayed and asked questions and got about 20 others to do the same.
His name is Dan H and he answered all our questions. I was listening to his replies and the smooth, confident way he had of expressing himself. Something about him was very familiar. I finally had to ask if he’d ever heard of Jim Cockrum. Without hesitation, he told everyone there that you were one of his idols. You were part of the reason he got into his field, and he is very successful at what he does.
Needless to say, I was impressed and had to come here to post what I experienced. I’ve been involved in quite a few opportunities where the leaders vanished after making their money on the unsuspecting students. Thankfully I have become a student of yours and can distinguish the difference between something real or fake. Because of your advise, i am finally in a real opportunity with an 18 year track record and I am finally going to succeed at an Internet Business.
Thank you very much for all your efforts to help others. That is now what I will be doing and it is the cornerstone of the new venture I have just begun.

Ron Campbell

A great man

When I started with the whole idea of making money from online, many people recommended me to find more information about Jim Cockrum. After reading all the positive reviews on him, I decided to give him a chance. I learned so many useful things from his e-books. Even his newsletter holds so much advice. His e-books are not very cheap, but take my word on this, it is worth the money. There are so many scams in the web just looking for some easy money, Jim Cockrum is not one of them. You will learn much from this man and even if you don’t make thousands, you will earn enough. I highly recommend this product, especially if you are a beginner. I give Jim an A!

Fantastic and easy

I think I first heard of Jim Cockrum in 2007, I heard he was a great internet marketer with a good and honest reputation. So I decided to take it up to a test. I looked around for some of his products and the first thing I noticed were the good reviews about him and the low monthly fee you had to pay for them. After trying out his ‘products’ for about 2.5month I was hooked! He is simply one of the best! I have tried a lot of so called get money by doing this or that sites and programs but this is one where I really stick with. So I give it a nice A!

Every since I bought into your memership I have been a happy customer. I have been making money. In fact I started with nothing last month and have made about 1000.00 dollars. I’m taking this to the next level. My plan is to dominate my market. As we speak right now I have 3 more listing ready to close for a total of 300.00 more dollars. If anybody needs help on the Mysilentteam (in the forums) I would be glad to give some input.

Thanks for transforming my life. I made so much money before christmas I bought everybody in my family which is my wife and four kids everything they wanted. Just this week I have made 1300.00. You rock Jim . My dream would be to take my profits and buy a plane ticket to come meet you and learn more about ebay and internet marketing.
T. Schermuly

I’m not sure how often you get emails to tell you what your words and efforts have done for people, but I wanted to be sure to be one of those who let you know how much you helped me.

My life on the internet began back in 1999, when I would visit yards sales and flea markets and buy old hot wheels and sell them on eBay. I did it for fun and made some money at the same time. I never really expanded that business because I received several promotions in my real-world job and I was working all the time. Then my wife and I started having kids, and the time got away from me. I took some time to dabble with affiliate websites, made a little bit of money there, but mostly found I was just playing with the search engines to understand how they worked. I did this off-and-on for several years.

I was enjoying a successful career in my real-world job until 2007, when that world completely imploded. I found myself out of a very high-paying job. I had been a mortgage banker (no, not the ones that made bad loans) but since all of our banking lines of credit were disappearing, our firm could not survive. I was told I could keep my job if I gave up my salary. With a big mortgage, car payments, a wife and three kids that was not an option.

I soon took up a position with a software company managing their sales and marketing. I began applying some of the things I had learned while dabbling in internet marketing earlier, and while I was only making about one-third of my prior salary, I felt it was an opportunity to grow and get back to where I was. The company began to grow as a result of my efforts and was acquired by another firm. My reward was that I was let go since my position was “no longer needed.”

I vowed that would be the last time that would happen to me. I had been reading your newsletter and saw your OfflineBiz site and decided to check it out. I realized after several hours of reading that I could take my knowledge and sell it to other businesses, small businesses and make a living doing it. I felt fortunate that I had some experience, but I wasn’t sure people would see the value. But the ideas I got gave me confidence to offer my services.

On occasion I would come back to the OfflineBiz forum and leave some tips that were working for me. I enjoyed those times, as it was rewarding. My business picked up steam, particularly once I convinced a few web design firms to let me do their internet marketing for their customers. Their business and mine took off as the success stories came rolling in. I built an entire team that processes my projects at my direction, and I have offered every service from wordpress web design to link-building to email marketing to video marketing to Adwords to Facebook Ads. Among my customers I have been known as the “lead generation” guy, as I have been able to succeed where ad agencies failed. By the way, that was my secret, to target the scorched earth of ad agencies and help those customer believe in marketing again.

It has been a year and a half, and I am happy to say that I reached the six-figure mark in revenue in my offline business. I expect to that by August of this year as well. I have been able to increase my prices and still sign more clients.

And I have you to thank for the confidence to go DO IT.

Thank you for a great forum and newsletter. Without it I am not sure where I would have ended up.

Thanks,
M. Cudd

Jim – great marketer !

After reading his amazing e-book called “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on Ebay” I improved my presence in the advertising market and overall my current status. It was an extremely positive impact on my income. He’s really trying to do his best to help people earning money and he is on my list as an outstanding professional, one of the best internet marketers.

as posted on review site IMreportCard.com by user chuk4o

I have found great guidance from OfflineBiz.com and really enjoy helping offline businesses get online. Offering marketing, websites, email campaign management and other services has been a great income stream for our family. I want to thank you for being there with this information, membership site and resources.

A client I picked up early on in my offline biz stream was our local Coldwell Banker Real Estate franchise. That one client turned into many as the broker is also the founding member of the largest law firm in our county and we picked up that side of the business too along with several Realtors.

What happened today, takes the cake. I met with the Broker today to discuss some new marketing ideas I had and he stopped me in the middle of my speech to ask me a question.

He asked, “Instead of continuing this contract deal with you for marketing, how do you feel about coming on board with our company as a partner in the business and handling the online marketing just as you are doing now? The only difference, you will be earning 6% of overall income in the company as opposed to contracted income.” This attorney/broker and I have found a real kinship in our business philosophies and values. He has grown to like me and wants my influence in the company weekly on a more consistent basis.

I didn’t have to think long, this company, a new franchise in our area, projects 1.5 million in commission revenue this year, and that’s a pretty payday at 6% even after company expenses. I am already earning about $1100 per month from this one client contact, but now will be earning significantly more with little extra effort than I give now. Although, I imagine after signing partnership agreements next week, I will certainly have a greater interest and likely spend more energy there.

I wanted to share this with you personally first, before posting to see if I can offer any testimonial for you on this as well. Liquidation, Offline Biz, and my small membership mailing list are all helping to make our dreams come true. You lit a fire under this frustrated entrepreneur, and I am grateful.

I realize this income may not be a fortune, or even compelling to some, but for us, it is a significant blessing and it’s money being made in the real world with no hype or gimmicks. And from only one stream of income and only one client.

Thanks so much again, your provided resources have given us the tools we need to change our future. We won’t forget it!

B. Hamrick

Really Awesome

If you are searching for a e-book by which you can learn to sell your item on ebay then I want to recommend you to buy this book. This book is really helpful for every person. If you are new in ebay then I think you would be very much helped by this e-book. The monthly fee is also very much attractive.

I came to know about Jim Cockrum about a year ago. After watching some newsletter I decided to join in his MySilentTeam. After reading his e-book I could was able to sell my products on ebay very easily. There are lots of helpful ideas in that book and you can easily apply

So you don’t have to think much before buying his book. This book can really help you. Jim Cockrum has my full support. That’s why I’m giving it Grade A.

Thank you Jim.

My name is Lucy and your book has been by far the most-worth investment I’ve done so far in my on-line venture. Although, I have prided myself to research every aspect without spending a dime, your book has actually answered so many of my questions, if not, it confirmed some doubts in my mind.

Once I get my e-business going and getting some money I am seriously considering to be a lifetime member of your MySilentTeam.com site.

I am one of those people who is sick and tired of answering to big bosses. What frustrates me most is when I can present ideas/solution to the table yet, all I got is ‘okay’.

At any rate, keep up your good work. It is great to know that someone like you dedicated and has a passion and love on what he does at the same time bring food to your family.

For your continued success!

Thanks,
Lucy M

Really an incredible deal for sure You will see me signed up and using my other email address at ——–@yahoo.com.

In addition to your incredible price for all of this great training material what REALLY sold me was your statements in the video that you sincerely want to bring Dad’s Home… I must tell you this really struck a chord in me because I have entered a very difficult “at home” stage in my life–choosing very recently to live with and help my 83 year old Mom who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. I am going to help her fight this battle head on AT HOME, and you have already helped with your Silent Sales Machine book I have used to become an eBay Bronze Powerseller. The PAC course is what I am counting on to teach me the Amazon FBA skills I will need to be successfully independent and, along with my eBay work, allow me to help my Mom with her battle at home while also providing for my wife and child.

You have given me the inspiration to tackle this. YOU ALONE. God Bless you for what you are doing for others, and for your true spirit of FAMILY.

Onward to my PAC training!!

Best wishes always Jim.

Three years ago I went looking for a sustainable business that would not interfere with my “financial planning” occupation. I found you on the internet and my life has not been the same since. Thank you for your insights and more importantly your humanity.
Larry M.

In the last three weeks I have received payments on a total of $470.92 . This activity was the result from just one $15.00 classified ad in a Stockton, CA shopper newspaper! I deliberately restricted my advertising so that I would not have auctions going during my up coming vacation next week. Who knows how much more I would have made had I put more time and effort into the project.

In addition to this activity, when I am back from vacation, I really want to discuss again in more detail the issues we discussed on the phone yesterday. I am particularly interested in the subject of affiliate programs, blogs, websites and auctions and how they all can be designed to work together in some organized process to make multiple revenue streams.

By the way, I looked at Offlinebiz.com. As I mentioned, this idea of working with small businesses to build websites and social networks to bring in customers interests me very much.

That’s it for now. Thought you would be interested to know that I have cash in the bank as a result of properly executing an internet based business model. Very exciting!

Respect for this man

I couldn’t help myself but search this site for this man only to write a comment about him. I hold great respect for Jim Cockrum. There are thousands of scams and con-artists out there throughout the web and there are so few respectable men who you can trust. This person is one of them. When I started with the whole idea of earning money from the web, a friend of mine recommended me to find more information on Jim Cockrum. I did and after viewing all the positive reviews on him, I decided to give him a show. I learned so much from his ebooks. Even his newsletter holds so much advice. His e-books are not one of the cheapest, but you can have my word – it is worth it. You will learn much from this man and even if you don’t make thousands of money, you will earn enough to count it as a side job of sorts. I strongly recommend this product especially to beginners.

The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay is a must read eBook for anyone who sells on eBay.
After you read it you will see eBay in a different light.

John Thornhill

I have been reading and enjoying your newsletter and of course SSM (SilentSalesMachine.com book) for years!
Thanks to you, I have a wonderful IM biz, eBay and beyond.
I now am able to home school my boys and spend as much time with them as I wish.

Things are going fantastic down under!
All my XXXXX are selling well!

I would like to give you a special thanks for giving me sooo much help. Particularly with the confidence you gave me to keep going. Prior to starting with you I was nearly going to throw it in. I had had so many set backs with eBay even though I already loved it then, but I thought I would never find the right items to sell.
Plus I did not think that my listings were good enough, but you said they were good!!!

So Now I know that I can make a living out of eBay, if I keep increasing my sales the way I am then I will be huge by the end of next year.

I am going to loose my Powerseller statues for now because of last month and the month before. But I know that I will have it back shortly.
But the best part of that is, when I do get it back I will have built a strong foundation to my eBay business.
And then it won’t crumble like it did.
I am more focused on this being a business for me to build up, rather then I sell a few things on eBay!!!

Today I went and got another large load of XXXX I had to borrow money out of our savings account for these but I am happy to say I have already paid $200 back.
I have also been reading a fair bit from the Bonus Pool from MySilentTeam.com. Got some interesting info out of that re ‘selling on eBay’. Just a couple of different things on what to say in the listings.

So everything is Fantastic, Donna is selling a bit as well. She had a bit of a set back, she had a bad fall spraining her ankle and damaging her knee.
Now I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
And I am looking forward to talking to you in the New Year.
Cheers Margot

I would just like to say that although I have not read right the way through all books yet, I am absolutely amazed at the brilliant content and I have never before seen such a clear, thorough and honest approach to teaching us newbies how to earn money on the internet. I will be putting all of your strategies into action starting this week and I am looking forward to a prosperous 2010 as a result.

Thank you for compiling such an easy to follow great value set of eBooks. You have covered not just what to do but also how to do it, which is what a lot of marketers and coaches conveniently leave out. I would absolutely recommend that anyone who wants to either get started on internet marketing, or anyone who is already working on the internet to buy a set of Jim Cockrum’s books because there is cool stuff in there for everyone to learn!!

Also I am very keen to join mysilentteam.com just as soon as I can and I urge others to do the same. There are some great Marketers contributing to this site and some fantastic content on there. I know I will achieve great success in this new year with your help Jim and I will be taking massive action fast, so here’s to prosperity and success in 2010!!

Regards,
Sue Schlaiffer.

Thank you Jim,

If there is a service that I’ve ever bought and didn’t regret, it’s
yours. I like everything from your eBook, the membership site, the
one-on-one coaching, and your dedication to your members. No wonder
you are rated #1 most trusted in the IM Reportcard site. Keep it up.

A man you can trust online. Refreshing!

Jim has proven to be a trustworthy resource for those who wish to make money legitimately online. He seems very sincere in his desire to help people build profitably online businesses through strategies that work.

I know of others who have also spoken highly of Jim and have found him to be genuine and accessible when they join his programs.

His Silent Sales Machine eBook is one of the best, most concise treatises on creating income online, especially through eBay.

I encourage my own clients to check out Jim’s stuff first if they even have an inkling that they may utilize eBay as an income strategy.

Hi Jim,

I just finished reading your SSM ebook. Outstanding job! I have purchased a great deal of ebooks over the last year but yours is one that I can actually utilize. Thank you.

Greg G.

A Great Guy

I got interested with Jim Cockrum upon reading a post on his newsletter Creative Ebay Selling, from then on I subscribed to his free newsletter and bought a copy of his ebook The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on Ebay. His way of writing will make anyone fired up or get motivated to pursue you online shop. I am slowly working on my own Ebay storefront, following the guidelines set-up in his book.

He also gave one on one coaching at MySilentTeam but never got to register yet, I will once I’ve fully set-up my site. Jim Cockrum is definitely the master of Ebay.

I read the book in one sitting and put your advice into practice the next day. Within a few days I had orders… Your book costs a few dollars, but the information has proved to be priceless.

Tim Knox
Best Selling Business Author and Internet Entrepreneur

I recommend you and your book to everyone I come across. I’m a little over 6 months selling on eBay and all the information that you provide me helps so very much! Thank-you.!

Kim & Kevin C.

“We used (your book) “The Silent Sales Machine” to get started selling paintball equipment online… We will hit about $220K this month on eBay and feel that $500K is our true potential. We should come in close to $6mill in total sales with a little more than half of that being from eBay this year. Funny what a little e-book can do. Now granted, the blood and sweat has been there every step of the way but we owe it to you for our roots. We are ever grateful for what you have shared with us and truly acknowledge that it was “The Silent Sales Machine” book that was the foundation of everything we are today. If you’d like, we are comfortable in sharing our story with readers if you wish. It is the least we can do.”

Thanks,
Jeff L.

Impressive!

As soon as I got in contact with Jim Cockrum, I was impressed because he certainly knows his stuff. I would expect no less after he has been marketing on the internet for over a decade! What I love about him is that he has time to help out the little guy, and so I never struggled without his assistance. He’s always honest and tells you so many simple but effective tricks, I would recommend him to anyone who’s thinking of doing something similar to him! Rating: A!

“Thanks a million, Jim! Look forward to many years of financial success with the implementation of your ideas from “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding On eBay”. As an eBay Powerseller, I thought I had it pretty well covered, but your ebook opened up a whole new avenue of revenue for me! From newbie, to veteran eBayer, there is something for all to learn here! Very well laid out, easy to understand, I’m impressed!”

This Guy Knows His Stuff

I, too, bought Jim’s products and I’m so glad I did. I sold on Ebay before but nothing major. I was bringing in a little bit here and there, but I wanted to do better. After purchasing this ebook and following Jim’s advice, I’m slowly seeing a difference in the selling of my products. It’s amazing how they appear on the listings and how people actually notice them. I love it. I would recommend this product for anyone wishing to sell on ebay. However, he goes way beyond ebay and can honestly help anyone succeed.

I wish I had purchased “The Silent Sales Machine” months ago. I’ve read a lot of ebooks in my day, and I can honestly say after reading the first page of yours, I printed out the rest so I could read every word carefully. Thank you for the fantastic ideas!

You can count on the Truth

I have been a reader and subscriber of Jim’s for over two years now. I can honestly say that he has always presented the facts. He offers some of the best information out there, not only on eBay, but internet marketing as a whole. I trust him which is a pretty high praise for most of the “gurus” out there. He is for real.

Jim, Congratulations on making a true, genuine, and creative contribution to the art of eBay selling. ALL eBayers should read it…

Marlon Sanders (yes, THE Marlon Sanders!)

“Thanks very much for a GREAT book. After reading your book my head is spinning with new ideas. I really can’t put into words my thanks for helping me over the top on my eBay plans. FINALLY a simple plan explained the way most people can understand it. I must admit, part of me knows you should be selling your book for more money. It would be WELL worth it! Thanks AGAIN! Off to read it again and absorb a little more.”

My experience with Jim

I like Jim. He’s a great guy. He’s not big on hype. He just tells it like it is. He’s a little different than other internet marketers. He’s obviously checked out this site because on his blog he says that he’s honored to be at the top of all internet marketers on this “report card” site.

His basic advice is “You don’t need a website, you need an audience. It’s not about how great the website is, it’s about how many people see it. It’s not about how great the newsletter is, it’s about how many people are reading it.”

I learned a lot about building websites and coding and all that stuff from other marketers. Keeping up with Jim has allowed me to realize that I don’t even need a great website or development skills. I just need to find, nurture and grow my audience. And stick to the basics.

Hello. I purchased your book and have read it and re-read it in whole and in part 3 or 4 times. Thanks for the great insights and info. I’ve been studying and researching internet marketing from many online gurus but your book is the one source that I can truly say has inspired me to begin!

Chad Maslak

“I ordered the “Silent Sales Machine” book and would like to give credit when it’s due. I sincerely appreciate the advice you gave in it. I sell **** on eBay and am the largest volume dealer of **** on eBay. In less than 4 hours I have already made more than twice the amount of money your book cost me. I am so excited and wanted to thank you sincerely.”

I’ve met Jim Cockrum

I met Jim Cockrum in San Diego at one of the Frank Kern/Ed Dale events as I was on his list. He’s a very genuine person and he had a lot of tips to impart to his followers. I’ve bought most of his ebooks and I’m also a member of his My Silent Team forum. Count me as a satisfied customer.

(To the person who mentioned about the Silent Sales Machine, if he had purchased it originally, he would be able to get updated versions for free.)

Jim – Thank you for your inspiration. Yes – it’s all about shared TRUST with your customers. I’m learning heaps from your book and beginning to see the results.
Regards,
Gareth Kentish

Jim has been correct and ahead of the game in my mind since I first bought a book from him in 2004. Excellent, honest source for help with your online and offline endeavors.
Joy Kennel

Jim, I want to thank you for your inspiration and dedication to helping people like me.
If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be taking on what I am doing right now. I am a big dreamer and have been working on this site for over a year now but it should be live within 2 wks.
Al Lehman

Hi Jim,
We’re EBay folks, we bought your ebook, then implemented your primary suggestion, and that change easily doubled our monthly sales and took us in a new direction. We are adding about 100 people per week to our newsletter list, which blows our mind.
All the best, and thanks for what you do.
Jason

I’m a newbie with great optimism. Jim, you are inspiring a great many people with your honesty and forthright willingness to help others. I see why you are the number one guy on IM Report Card. Wish there were more like you.
Vernial

I have been a member of MySilentTeam for nearly a year. I recently have been given the opportunity to work full time on my internet business, due to the downsizing scenario (no job). Ironically, I have recently been approached by someone who owns their own media business and asked for my help to sell his services to local businesses. I am signing up for OfflineBiz.com today. It will be a great resource for me to help build this into a GREAT business opportunity.

Thank you so much for the tools you provide to keep several people from working “traditional jobs”.

Todd Fetters

Jim, you are one of my favorites online who tells the truth and can be trusted. Not too many of those online..
My goal is to be like you when I grow up in the online world!
Patti

I love your stuff and have purchased a lot of it, starting with the awesome Silent Sales Machine. I’m a disabled senior who was looking to the internet for a way to make a decent income when I came across that first book. I’ve been following you ever since and you have inspired me to pursue an online biz! I’m convinced that, with your coaching and inspirational blog, I will achieve my goals soon.
Thanks for all you’re doing for us and for being one of the good guys…
Kenneth R Horn

Wow! OfflineBiz.com is a fantastic website with a ton of information and helpful people. I’m relatively new and have approached things conservatively and have already landed my first client. I’ve already made $1500, with another $1500 payment coming in the next 45 days. That’s $3000 on bout $20 a month. my first client and I’m absolutely stoked. They might not all be like this, but this is a great start! Well worth the monthly membership investment.

Hi Jim, I just wanted to thank you for your great newsletter. I know you get a lot of email and I hope you read this. When I got your first free newsletter I was skeptical. After reading a few more I purchased “The Silent Sales Machine”. After reading your book I have become enamored with marketing on the internet and the possibilities of eBay. My first month on eBay I made $400. The second month will be about $2000 profit. Your information has opened the door wide open for me with other marketing campaigns outside of eBay as well. …now it’s my turn. Thank you so much for opening the door for me.

Ron Pullis

Thanks for always being honest and trustworthy. You are living proof that good, honest people can rise to the top by having integrity and doing things the right way.
