How Come Everybody Likes Jim Edwards?

A person I truly admire and have high respect for is Jim Edwards. A journalist and internet marketer with a real success story. Going from ‘rags to riches’ in just a few years time. It was only 1999 when Jim was still living in a trailer, barely scraping enough money together to not just starve to death…

It’s a compelling story which you can read more about here.

Jim’s happened to be one of the first names I encountered when I started out on-line. Searching for good information about how to start an on-line business, I pretty soon ran into 33 Days to Online Profits - a book he co-authored with another excellent marketer, Yanik Silver.

This book really stands out from the crowd in that it gives you a very clear day-to-day structure to set up your first fully automated sales site. It is not an expensive book which makes it attractive for anyone starting on a shoestring budget. And it also gives you plenty of free or cheap resources which will suffice as long as you’re not driving hords of hungry visitors to your site.

However, if you feel like setting your sites up the best possible way and have some extra money to invest, the book will also provide you with the higher quality resources.

I really like Jim’s style of writing and - being a writer myself - I was of course naturally drawn to his two books about writing eBooks and selling them on-line. Jim teamed up with two other established marketers and writers to produce these books. He co-authored How To Write And Publish You Own eBook In As Little As 7 Days together with Joe Vitale which turned out to be an ongoing block buster. And after that he co-authored eBook Secrets Exposed with David Garfinkel, another excellent read, which focusses more on the marketing aspects of eBook selling.

Having become a ‘regular’ customer of Jim by now, I noticed how particularly well he has organized his customer care. It already starts with the download page you are redirected to after you purchase a book. Jim is one of the very few people who actually provides you with so much information and screenshots, you really cannot go wrong with downloading. Jim’s download pages have been our primary source of inspiration when setting up ours here at The Marketing Frontline.

He runs a separate customer care site where you can already find the answers to many common questions. And if you still cannot find what you’re looking for, submit a support ticket and he or his assistant will respond to you within 24 hours. Always polite, respectful and with your best interest in mind.

Jim Edwards is also one of the few internet marketers around that about ALL other internet marketers have respect for. I guess the little world of internet marketers is in some ways much the same as the glitter and glamour world of hollywood stars. Meaning: many of them will be nice in your face, but talk around your back.

Jim is not like this and perhaps because of this, people are genuinely nice about him too. You reap what you sow…

After reading his book “Guaranteed Success Thinking” it became clear to me that Jim believes that the way you think is responsible for the way you perceive your life to be. To put it simple: you create your own life with your own thoughts. So everything which happens to you, is your own responsibility.

I happen to like that and do my best to live accordingly. So I really appreciate Jim for this as well.

Otherwise he is an accomplished journalist and his articles are very helpful to keep track of the internet movements. You can find many articles posted on his blog:
