Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. Episode number one. This is so cool. My name's Jim Cochram. I'll be your host.

And here's something strange. Hang with me for a second, but we've recorded 60 episodes at this point.

What I did is, after we made 60 episodes, I went back and I listened to a couple of the first few episodes.

And I said to myself, wow, we've learned a lot about podcasting since we started this thing.

Let's re-record the intro to episode number one.

Now that we actually have a decent microphone and we kind of know what we're doing, we're figuring this thing out.

Now that we know that

it's a top 20 business marketing show on a regular basis bouncing around the charts with some of the

big boys, maybe we should put a little more effort into this thing. I had no idea what to expect when we

first started this, but now we've got plenty of evidence that there's a lot of people listening to

this show,

devouring the shows, the guests and the content. And don't get me wrong, it's not because I'm awesome. That actually has very little to do with it. I have no professional podcast training.

What I do have, though, is an awesome team. And what we've built as a team is this incredible

community of tens of thousands

of entrepreneurs around the world who are using the internet creatively to launch and grow

incredible businesses. That's what we have. And we love talking about it. And we love helping

other people do it too. So don't think of this as the Jim Cockram show. It really isn't. It is a show that opens up

these doors to this incredible room full of entrepreneurs who are doing awesome things online.

We love Amazon. A bunch of us are very successful selling Amazon products every day. We've got

multiple eight-figure sellers in our community.

We love eBay. We love self-publishing. We love using the internet creatively to make money from home.

That's what we do. That's who we are. That's what silent sales machine radio is going to be all about.
