New Success Stories Posted Weekly!
1. We Only teach proven methods that actually work.
You will never see us offer a training we have not thoroughly vetted. We always complete thorough testing of our methods before teaching them. No one-trick pony show here! We are serious about proving everything we do.
2. We Always back up our claims with (actual) proof.
This is really important: Online methods and tactics are always changing. Whenever a student or coach comes to us with a new method (which is nearly every month), we always test it and prove that it works FIRST, before announcing it in our community or teaching it in our courses. We are constantly updating our content, and keeping our methods and tactics current with the latest strategies and trends. How do you think we’ve been able to keep going for more than 20 years?
3. We Never make promises we cannot keep.
You will always get the facts from me and my team. We do not offer hype, get rich quick schemes, or non-legit opportunities. We believe the most important factor to success online is to guard your reputation (SSM Principle No. 3!) Our reputation and brand is the most valuable asset we possess.
Consider this: If by writing this book and offering my training and materials for a very low pricre I am able to help the next batch of 10,000 online entrepreneurs start 5 and 6 figure per month online businesses… do you think my coaching and consulting business will grow, or shrink?
This is a huge principle in my book.
When you serve first money naturally follows. One of the greatest things about business is that when you serve others, everyone wins (SSM Principle #1).
I’m counting on some of the next batch of 10,000 students to join our 7 figures (and 8 figures) per month coaching programs where we help students 10x, 30x, and 100x their business online. Thats how we actually make profit in our own business.
Will you be our next success story?

Also, we are here to support you with an online community that is dedicated to your success and available 24/7.

What not to do.
In the last 20 years so many students have come to us with painful stories describing how they invested thousands of dollars in opportunities that were not right for them.
We find people starting out should almost always avoid these opportunities because they do not have some combination of experience, money, tech-skills, or risk-tolerance required to get these revenue streams started.
Here are just a few of the opportunities that you should avoid when starting your journey online:
Drop Shipping
Private Label
Shopify
Affiliate Marketing
Print-on-demand
Wholesale E-commerce
Pay Per Click Advertising
Etsy
Niche Website Creation
Anything "done for you"
Etc...
It’s important to note: these are legitimate opportunities.
In fact, we teach some of these methods to our more advanced students who already have a successful business and are ready to build their next revenue stream.
Remember that multiple revenue streams is the goal; but when you’re starting out, we strongly recommend avoiding these strategies.
Instead, we recommend starting with a very specific type of opportunity that incorporates the “Low, Low, High” methodology explained below.
So…where should I start?
We’ve been at this a long time…
As far as we know, we have the longest continuously running (and largest) community of online sellers in the world…
…For more than two decades, we’ve seen (many) online opportunities come and go; but the great ones for new students fall into the same basic framework.
In our experience, the key to getting started online and creating a successful business is to look at opportunities through this “Low, Low, High” framework.
Using this framework you can:
– Start slowly with small investments
– Grow at your own pace without taking large risks
– Build early momentum and earn a profit while you learn
Let’s take a look at each element in more detail:
Start slowly with small investments.
Starting with a very small investments is critical when you’re first getting started online because it allows you to gather experience quickly, and minimizes resistance to starting.
Start Quickly: Low cost methods minimizes the resistance to getting started. In our experience, this is a significant hurdle for new students. With a low-cost opportunity, the natural resistance to getting started is minimized.
Learn Rapidly: Starting with a low cost method allows new entrepreneurs to gain experience without the pressure of recovering large investments.
Build Experience: Lower costs encourages experimentation, and is essential for building the experience you need to become successful on a small budget.
Grow at your own pace without taking large risks.
New sellers should start with low risk methods to build confidence, minimize losses, and create sustainable growth.
Minimize Losses: New businesses often face unpredictable challenges; low-risk approaches mitigate the impact of these uncertainties.
Build Confidence: Success in low-risk investments builds confidence and provides a foundation for gradually taking on more significant challenges.
Sustain Growth: A focus on low-risk investments supports sustainable, long-term growth rather than risking collapse due to high-stake failures.
Build early momentum and earn a profit while you learn.
Early momentum is critical.
When getting started, you want something with a good chance of yielding profit (even if it is small to start).
It is vital to get that psychological “quick win” as soon as possible, versus waiting months for a positive result because it’s easy to get frustrated and give-up too early.
…When you can say “I did it! I made it happen!” It’s hard to describe the motivating power of that feeling – you simply can’t wait to do it again.
We’ve seen this dynamic play out thousands of times.
Students who build early momentum are much more likely to stick to the process, and be successful long-term.
Online opportunities commonly require a moderate degree of technical competence. This can be a significant challenge for new entrepreneurs.
We’ve found that anytime a new revenue stream requires moderate to high technical competence to navigate, new entrepreneurs (without resources to hire / recruit help) comonly find themselves stalled or stopped entirely.
Because early momentum is so critical for new sellers, we strongly recommend against any new online venture that requires any sort of technical skillset.
We consider “low tech” to be a “forth factor” in our framework for almost everyone. In fact, we argue that if you do possess moderate tech skills, it can work against your chances for success. I speak more on this topic in my book.
Why Amazon: THE BIG PICTURE
I’m going to explain:
1. Why Amazon is the number #1 opportunity on the internet.
2. Why Amazon is the best place for new sellers to start.
3. The exact strategy we use that creates the most success stories of any e-commerce opportunity on the internet.
Before I go into the specific ways to sell on Amazon, and the exact model we’ve helped tens of thousands of new sellers use to start beautiful businesses online, let me first explain:
Why Amazon?
…I think it’s important to understand the big picture perspective first, then get into details.
If you want to start an online-based business and work completely from home (especially if it’s your first time) I believe Amazon is (by far) the best choice.
I am absolutely convinced this is the case.
Let me explain why, starting with the numbers:
Let this fact sink in... On any given day in the United States, nearly half of all of the transactions that are happening on the internet are happening on Amazon.com right now.
When quoting this statistic some people may think: “well doesn’t that proove Amazon is saturated?
Not even close.
Let me explain why.
Imagine all of the retail activity in the United States is on a pie chart…
Think of a number from 1 to 100…. Of all retail in the United States, what percentage do you think is online?
This is a very interesting exercise because every time I do this, I get a wide variety of interesting answers…
I’ve heard people say anything from 10 up to 90 percent.
People typically don’t have a grasp on how much retail spending is happening online versus traditional retail (getting in your car, going to the store).
The actual number as of the latest U.S. Government data is 15.6%.
Look at the chart below.
I want you to notice something important: just a few short years ago, that number was between 5 and 6 percent!
E-commerce is still just getting started. The relatively low percentage of online retail and significant growth potential means those who start online businesses now, especially on Amazon, are entering a rapidly expanding market with a lot of room for growth.
15.6% is still a very low number. Most people have the impression that at least half the economy is online.
…The reality is, the vast majority (85%) of spending is still done through traditional retail.
That means there’s a lot of room for growth.
So, if you want to start an online-based business: why Amazon?
…Because half of all internet transactions are happening on Amazon in the US and it’s got so much future potential for growth!
…People are getting more comfortable all the time with shopping online for things they need, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down – on the contrary:
This trend is rapidly accelerating!
But what does this mean for people who are new?
Next, I’ll explain why Amazon is the best place to start for new sellers.
EXACTLY HOW WE DO IT (STEP BY STEP)
…The average person shopping on Amazon does not realize that more than 60% of all of the listings are held by independent sellers.
Thats right! Individuals!
The largest online sales platform in the world is stocked with products that are owned by small businesses and individuals and like you and me!
Amazon needs individuals to fill the digital shelf space and meet the massive demand on their platform.
That’s a big opportunity, and where we come in.
So how do we fill the “digital shelf space”?
Remember: Success on Amazon is about identifying unmet demand, and filling it.
It’s about knowing beforehand: what people are looking for but cannot find (or is in short supply), and identifying ways to fill the need…
In a nutshell, here’s how we do it:
In addition to this, we teach students how to maximize their chances even more by finding a specific type of physical product that is in high demand but not widely available on Amazon.
So… why is this a GREAT opportunity for new sellers?
Let’s go back to our “Low, Low, High” framework:
How does this opportunity stack up against our criteria?
When you find a "winning asin" (an underserved listing on Amazon), we teach you how to "test small", usually with only 3-5 units at a time, so the upfront investment is tiny.
Because you can identify what is highly likely to sell before you even start testing, and your total test budget on each listing is very small, the risk is low. You can safely make mistakes, and the result is low impact. Contrast this with spending thousands (or tens of thousands) on a private label product that sits on the shelf and never sells, and it's easy to understand why we recommend the low, low, high method!
Once you've identified a listing that is selling at a small quantity, congratulations you've identified a winner! Increase the stock incrementally and "ride the demand" on that listing. ...Remember, because you know where the demand is prior to starting, your chances of winning are high.
Ok! We have a winning set of criteria!
But what about tech skills? I mentioned using “software” – does this opportunity require any technical skills?
You don't need any tech skills / computer proficiency / or special skills to run this business. No part of this business is technical in nature. You need to know how to use your mouse to navigate pages; but there is no coding involved or anything like that. If you do have tech skills, I would argue having technical proficiency could hurt your chances because our tendency as humans is to overcomplicate things. This is a simple business model, and part of being profitable is about keeping it simple!
NEW SELLERS: START HERE
Before we get into the particular Amazon model that 99% of our students use to create beautiful businesses that entirely replace their income working from home, I want to explain why Amazon is the best place to start.
First: Remember there are many ways to make money on Amazon. There is a whole ecosystem inside with many legitimate things you can do.
Here are just a few of the (many) examples:
As you read this list, remember, you do not want to pursue any of these opportunities (not yet). I will explain in a moment exactly where to start if you are new.
…And (many) more…
My point in showing the list is that Amazon is an economy all by itself.
There are 2.2 BILLION hungry shoppers every single month searching for products on Amazon.
Amazon growth 2004-2023
It’s hard to conceive of the sheer size of this demand.
(The key is we know exactly what they are searching for! More on this crucial fact in a second)
…And this trend is accelerating rapidly!
No matter which method you follow on the list above, or if you follow the methods we teach (more on that in a moment)…
…The point I want you to get is that all of these opportunities are all basically the same:
Find a demand, and fill it.
That’s it!
Remember this crucial point.
You will see why it’s so important later.
…I can’t tell you how many times people have come to us after failing on Amazon because they did not understand this simple point.
…They try to “create demand” by inventing a new product.
…They try to offer something nobody has seen before.
…They try to create a new brand, make it big quick, etc.
Wrong.
Fail.
Game Over.
That is not how you make money on Amazon!
… instead, the beautiful thing about Amazon is they share with us exactly what people already want!
Amazon allows us to:
1. Look at the demand numbers.
2. Discover where it is unmet.
3. Find opportunities to fill it.
Imagine knowing exactly what people are going to buy before you sell it?
That’s a tremendous advantage over other methods…
And that is exactly what makes Amazon (done right!):
1. Low risk.
2. Low cost.
3. High probability for success.
(Remember our success framework from earlier?)
Next I will explain our model, how we ensure new students can stay inside the Low, Low, High success framework…
…and why we believe the methods we teach is the best opportunity for new sellers on the entire internet (as evidenced by our hundreds of success stories)!
PROOF THIS WORKS: HUNDREDS OF SUCCESS STORIES
One of my goals with the book is to shatter excuses.
Below you will see just a few of the hundreds of recent success stories that (undeniably) prove anyone can do it…
When I first began, I had my own excuses: my grades, my inexperience with marketing, my lack of writing skills….
…These and other traits were great excuses if I needed them to be, but the excuses didn’t stop there.
My list of excuses when I got started in 2002.
Are you getting bored with my excuses yet?
These are all 100 percent true, but they aren’t complaints.
…They’re just reasons that make it appear I shouldn’t be an online entrepreneur.
In spite of it all, I’m grateful to be so successful because I now get to encourage you and others.
You may also have a laundry list of excuses. But I doubt you’re going to come up with one I haven’t seen destroyed by those in our community.
Because we’ve been doing this since 2002, my team and I have literally spoken to tens of thousands of students who were considering launching an online business.
We’ve literally never seen an excuse that makes someone a bad candidate to try our techniques.
After literally tens of thousands of conversations since 2002… and hundreds of recent success stories… we can say with absolute conviction that our team has never seen an excuse that makes someone a bad candidate to try our techniques.

Jim Cockrum & the Silent Sales Machine Team
When I was fired from my job in 2002 I didn’t know then, but it would turn out to be one of the best days of my life.
You see… I had chosen a “safe” career path as a Microsoft software reseller during the prime of Microsoft’s dominance in the 1990s.
It was a comfortable job, and very low risk… but something inside of me was rebelling…raging to get out…
…and the disconnect clearly showed in my attitude toward my chosen career.
In boredom I started playing around with eBay in 1999, along with some websites I built in my spare time.
I wasn’t very successful in the beginning but I found the work exciting and motivating.
I felt inspired and creative.
Very quickly I discovered with only a few hours per week on my side gigs, I was accomplishing more meaningful work on the weekends than I was in my “real” job.
Of course, it took me a while to get past the initial shock of getting fired from a stable, corporate career…
No one wants to get fired.
…but there are days when that kind of news hits particularly hard—and the day of my firing was one of those.
My wife Andrea was eight months pregnant.
If there’s one time in life when having health insurance is a good thing, it’s then!
Still, in the hours and days after being fired, I became very determined to walk away from the corporate, business-as-usual world.
…I didn’t send out resumes. I didn’t start calling my “connections.”
I was done.
No looking back.
My wife and I were both a wreck for a few days, but she believed in me and encouraged me, further proving that I had married an amazing girl!
We had a few months of savings built up, but in retrospect, it still was a huge leap of faith.
Now after more than 20 years working 100% online, we’ve been blessed to build many streams of income, including:
…and many more…these are only a few examples.
Having dozens of income streams may sound like chaos to manage, but it’s actually quite orderly and all built with virtually no significant risks or large investments.
It’s been this way since 2002, and I continue adding new predictable streams of income that run mostly on their own while producing delighted customers and profits that flow nicely into my bank accounts.
Individually, the streams aren’t always that large; some of them are as small as $100 to $200 per month. But add them all up, and I would have to work 70- to 80-hour weeks as the CEO of a major corporation to get the same income results.
Plus, the most meaningful benefit for us was being home with my family and enjoying a flexible lifestyle.
Since my firing in 2002, I’ve been the sole income earner in our household, using only the ideas you’ll read in this book.
I’ve been able to work from home with my wife and five kids nearby. We started traveling for weeks at a time, we’ve adopted three times internationally (twice since being fired), we support the causes we believe in, we volunteer, and my kids have the best tutors they could ever have schooling them in our own home: their mom and me.
There is no traditional job that could possibly lure me out of this lifestyle.
If you share a similar goal to quit your job and live the Internet-business lifestyle, then my goal is for this book to be the first step in getting you there.
Or perhaps you’ve already been playing the online game for years and you are looking for strategies to propel your success.
…Either way, you’re in exactly the right place.
In this book I’m going to share with you the exact same strategies I used to replace my 9-5 job and work completely from home.
…As we’ve watched stories pour in from around the world, we can’t help but notice the Internet makes so much possible that we never even dreamed of just a few short years ago…and we are just getting started!
Before you dive in to the content below, let me point out there’s no way to rush the process of establishing multiple income streams.
This Silent Sales Machine 11.0 way of doing business is not a “get-rich-quick scheme.”
…Instead, the methods in this book focus on proven strategies that are predictable and will equip you for virtually unlimited opportunities online.
As you read the treasure-trove of content in the book and on this page, I truly hope it stirs something powerful in you about what is possible.
God bless you. You’re a business-building warrior! I’m in your corner!
