Is Jim Cockrum Right For You? Part 1

It's been exactly 2 years since I last posted to this blog. I'm amazed at the lack of progress I have made over the past 2 years. It takes skill to be so lazy.

Well I don't like to write a bunch of garbage, so I'll get straight to the point. My favorite internet marketers at the moment are as follows.

1) Jim Cockrum - He is the ebay expert. Author of Silent Sales Machine, Turn Auction Traffic into Cash and Part Time Plan to Massive Success.

His books show people how to funnel traffic off of ebay (legally) to build a mailing list, which he considers the most important aspect to any online business. He has over 100,000 subscribers to his bimonthly newsletter. He also has a killer internet community which I wish I was apart of, called mysilentteam.com

I've read all three of his books and have deduced who they would be perfect for and who would fail miserably at them.

1) You have to have a passion for something, this is what market you'll enter. Mine is religious goods or alternative health.

2) You have to be able to email people and make business partnerships with them. Can you email people and set up deals? You have to like talking to people, even if it's only on the internet.
It's something I have a problem with personally, but many people love it.

3) You have to be able to come up with an information product based on your market. This is where you have to find a problem or desire that people will pay for and create it.
An example I came up with is people buying rosaries online. I was going to create an ebook that shows them how to make their own for much less.

4) You have to either pay someone to set up a website or set one up yourself. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you'll need something to show the ebay sellers you'll contact. People need to know they aren't wasting their time working with you.

5) You can't get discouraged when the majority 90+% don't want to work with you. Just keep trying. You can't lose em all.

So if it sounds like something you can handle working on, then it's well worth it. You'll be able to build your own business quickly with this method because it diverts so much traffic to your business. That's really the key to any online venture. Diverting traffic and converting it to sales or adsense profit.
