1. Thinking of writing a book?
=====================================

Now that I have a couple of books that have
done well I'm being approached frequently by
those seeking advice on how to successfully
launch a book.

My advice for a successful book launch is the
same advice I'd give for any other product,
website, cause etc.

Step one is to find your audience and then
engage in meaningful discourse with that
audience online. This should happen WELL BEFORE
you write the book, build the product,
or launch a website. 

When I took marketing classes in school I
learned everything in reverse order of how the
"real world" works.

In the real world, putting the "product development"
before "building an audience" is a formula for
almost certain failure.

In other words, if you can't give me a written list
of the names of the people that are eagerly waiting
for your book, you will have a very hard time
selling it once it's written. That's painful to
hear I know, but I'm trusted because I give it to
you straight.

Do you want to learn how to grow an eager audience
of fans that are ready to buy your book when it launches?

I happen to have two great books that can teach you how!

My "101 Free Marketing" bestseller (on Amazon,
and now audio on Audible.com) - get details here:

http://www.jimcockrum.com/blog/?p=1655

In that book you'll learn multiple ways to become
perceived as a leader and grow an audience that
listens when you talk, and cares about what you
have to say.

...and then there's my all time best seller:

http://www.SilentSalesMachine.com

If you are still looking for "what works" online
then this is a MUST read 100+ page ebook that will
open your eyes.

Check out the reader comments on either of those
two links - you'll see that what I teach works.

2. Is eBay a dying opportunity?
=====================================

Is eBay a dying opportunity?

The short answer is "NO"!

I'm putting my money where my mouth is on
that answer! I spent well over $10K on eBay
inventory in October and I plan to sell it
for at least triple my investment (so far it's
going very well!)  It's important to note that
I'm paying others to do the boxing, shipping etc.
for me. I don't spend time toying around on eBay,
but I pay others to do it so that it's just
another income stream.

Want to learn some creative eBay strategies
from some cutting edge thinkers?

For only $10 you can get a handful of fantastic
eBay interviews from long time partner and
MySilentTeam.com contributor Terry Gibbs.
This is an offer he put together just for YOU
as my reader!

One of those interviews is a recording of Terry
and I talking about how to expand beyond eBay
(we call it escaping the volume trap).

Other interviews are with creative leaders in
the eBay space, how to find profitable items,
the truth about antiques (Terry's specialty),
and much more.  You'll learn a ton from these
interviews. It's like getting an eBay brain
boost for the price of a fast food meal.

Drop shipping success?

For some reason I've had a lot of people asking
me about drop shipping lately. In theory, it's
an easy way to get started selling products online,
but in reality it's no cake walk.

A drop ship arrangement is one in which you do the
selling and someone else does the shipping. 

I haven't heard a good drop shipping success story
in years. If you are going to have success with a
drop shipping arrangement it will likely result
from an exclusive arrangement that you seek out
and secure on your own (not from a directory).
For example, a good arrangement would be a local
widget maker who allows you to represent them on
eBay, and they'll ship whatever you sell.

FBA on the other hand has all the benefits of
drop shipping because you send all your inventory
to Amazon and THEY do the shipping. As long as
your profit margin is big enough, this is a
fantastic arrangement.
