SURVEY RESULTS: In early 2013 we surveyed all PAC students to see how their businesses were doing.
Among those working this business model for 10 hours per week or more (a solid approach that we suggest), the average monthly check from Amazon was $10,153 & the average hours worked per week was 26. Gross hourly: $74 Net hourly: $39 Average time before they started seeing sales was 2.95 weeks.
Conclusion: Our AVERAGE 'Proven Amazon Course' student has approximately the equivalent income of an $80K per year job within a few weeks of applying the steps we outline in our course. They work part-time (26 hours on average) in achieving these results. Please scroll down for more testimonials.

“The Proven Amazon Course is wonderful. It propelled my online sales incredibly. My wife and I have 5 children, the 4 youngest are home-schooled. The job market was awful in the area where I was. Working in a warehouse seasonally was not good enough to pay the bills that a family of our size accumulated. Before the P.A.C. we were merchant fulfilling between 20 to 30 small packages every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2011. Then we started with the course. WOW! My wife and I instantly saw the incredible potential of sending in the items to the warehouses so Amazon could ship them professionally all around the globe. We jumped in the first week of 2012 and have not looked back. With the income from selling I am able to be available for my family and do things as a family. We recently were able to purchase a used Ford F150 in full with our earnings. With that purchase and the family car we can now go as a family together places. Before we had to make 2 trips or rent a vehicle. Financially 2012 has been our best year yet and 2013 is shaping up to be even better. We have over 4000 items in the warehouses now. The Proven Amazon Course has been a BLESSING to our family. Thanks Jim and the PAC team!”

“Last spring I signed up for the jimcockrumcoaching.com coaching program and N.B. worked with me. He was able to help me realize a profit in my online marketing business. Last year I made gross $35,000 selling ***. I just listened to the interview with Brett recorded in Jan 2013 and I was impressed it has inspired me to take my business to the next level. Earlier last year 2012 I bought about 500 ***** for $250 and I have sold a number of them having cleared probably more than $2,500 and still have about 25% that still need to be processed with 25% of them still available on Amazon. I have one book that is worth $1,000 though it has yet to sell.The Mentoring program has proven to be the best investment that I have made to date. I have found success with eBay and Amazon....”

“Your PAC is the reason that I can state what follows. The two attachments are screen shots of my Amazon account. My wife and I have been working FBA for a little over 3 months now with approximately $1,500 profit so far on the $2,900 that Amazon has sent us. We went out scouting today and bought $568.91 worth of various kinds of ***** which we expect to make our money back, plus $600. We are also expecting another $700 or so because of your great course. We are well on the way to our financial freedom thanks to the ideas in your course.”

I am listening to the 1st Audio INTERVIEW & having so many light bulb Moments it is AMAZING!!! I also am so excited because I see some real potential for 'hiring' my 8 & 5 year old granddaughters. Wow...they can help Grandpa (which they already LOVE to do!)...Learn about Entrepreneurship (To me in this economy a MUST learn SKILL) & make some $$ themselves!! I am so excited & Impressed!!
I know I have much to learn...However I know how to 'Eat the elephant'...LOL! BLESSINGS to you & your Family Thank you so very,very much!! I think your course may be worth 10x of what you are charging:-) Sincerely,”

“...my wife and I have been using the lessons you have taught in the PAC and we turned a profit last year! We have tried a couple of different businesses in the past, and this is the first one that we actually made money on the first try! Not bad, but I definitely want to do better. My goal is to make enough to quit my current job and do this full time so I can stay at home with my wife and daughters.”
-- S. Baxter
“Since starting FBA I have seen my sales increase in almost every two-week period. I managed to have great sales for the 6-week holiday selling season. What I've learned from that year will translate into 2-3X that for this year.”

“Hi Jim; I took your ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and felt that $200 a month profit would be like Hog Heaven to me. I live in a low income neighborhood where a lot of people have lost their homes. Some have been evicted-talk about heart breaking. Last month alone I had a profit of $10,978.24, before taxes of about 25%, and since 4 months after joining your course-about 2 years ago- have NOT had to take any money out of social security payments or ira monthly payments to pay any bills. We have paid off our solar power installation bill-over $14,000- a year and a half ago. I wasn't doing very good at first but Nathan Bailey would NOT let me quit on myself thank God. The lady who was my trainer at first was a big help and I still refer to her notes for reference. Thank you, thank you for pulling me into this course and sticking with it, Be cool,
ps you have my unconditional permission to this unintended/unsolicited testimonial wherever you choose
psps the IRS loves me because I pay a LOT of taxes”

“Dear Jim, in November you granted me access to the Proven Amazon Course. I retired on 1 Feb. I have made, gross, $1,500.00 with Ebay. I needed to take my time and start off with something you had suggested in another course of yours. I believe Amazon will be better but what Ebay did was get me motivated. Military collectables are big so I was able because of my many years of picking up old military items, I was able to make a nice profit with Ebay. Amazon is next for me this month. I will write you again to let you know where I am at. I hope you get Bill Gates rich because you have it going on. Thanks.”

“The PAC course has been a great help by the way. My wife and I work it part time (about 20 hours/week on average together) and last year topped 200K gross just selling FBA. I'm seriously thinking of leaving my teaching job to run the FBA business full-time, with an eye on building other streams of income as well. That's why I'm interested in mysilentteam.com as well. Thanks,”

“I took the Proven Amazon Course, joined some forums and bought a scanner. Today was the first day I went out. I went to an estate sale, thrift store and Big Lots.
It was so easy to just scan products and know before I put them in my basket that I was going to make money with my purchase. I felt like I had an unfair advantage by doing this. But it is totally fair. I invested in a good course, spent time in the forums just to get some beginner information and inspiration. I bought a scanner, which will be paid for in one weekend with the profits. Comparison: you can't duplicate the Amazon business model on eBay.”

“I spent the day today helping my Aunt set up an FBA business at her house. I have been on the crash course with her the last few days giving her rank suggestions and some ideas on what types of products to buy. She signed up for PAC also and I expect that she will be joining the forums soon. We just put her first two shipments together…It's been very fun and quite fulfilling being able to teach someone else how to make another income stream. I wanted to pass this on to the forum because if it wasn't for the PAC I would have not known about FBA two and a half short months ago and I wouldn't be able to share this great opportunity with those that are close to me. So, "Thank You" to all of the support people and also everyone that has been using the forum to ask and answer questions as they arise. This has been a fun trip so far! Best,”
-- R. Anderson
“One thing I love about FBA is that I don't need a niche and don't have to worry about building repeat customers... FBA has become the core of my business for the last year and my sales have more than doubled from where they were when I was fulfilling myself on AZ”
-- Sandy
“We signed up for Amazon FBA seven months ago, and so far we have completed a little over 4,100 orders on Amazon. I consider this VERY successful and based on our sourcing criteria of 1:3 (buy for $10, predict we can sell for $30), we have had good profitability.”
-- Denny Basham
“If you know anything about Jim's reputation, I'd suggest giving a serious look at his brand new Amazon course. You could be one of his many new success stories that will pop up due to this course. If you're on the fence about purchasing this course, don't hesitate, just do it. I promise you won't regret it.”

“I have taken several of Jim Cockrum's classes and, just like the other classes, the Proven Amazon Course is outstanding. Jim and his team of experts are thorough in their explanations for this non-techie person and the follow-up customer service is top-notch. Thanks, Jim, you've done it again.”

“...My head was spinning after listening to the first interview. And it gets BETTER! It's already far exceeded the price of admission! ”

“Having been a Power Seller on eBay for 9 years I can see how PAC will be a welcomed additional income stream. The information for this course is 'first class' and it is going to be mostly hands-free so all I have to do is source products (which is the easy and fun part.) Thanks Jim, for another 'Great Course' - they are always a Winner!!”
-- Wayne Stanila
“Just wanted to send you a quick note & let you know that I have been working on my Amazon business and going all thru the PAC course since I got it last month.
I have been going out and sourcing alot and sending in shipments by the end of this week I will have sent in 9. I sold 5 things yesterday and I was at the hospital because my niece was having her baby and then today I wasn't able to work because I'm taking care of my sick G-son but when I opened my e-mail I had 5 e-mails from Amazon saying I had sold 5 things...lol. That was a great feeling!! I love this Biz. Anyway I just wanted to let you know how I'm doing ...one of my friends said oh ..you let me know how that Amazon thing works out for you and if it pays off..I said ok and its going too because I'm not quitting I said hunny it's not a get rich quick scheme it's a business. Thanks so much Jim for everything you do...”

“Karen and I have been selling on Amazon for the past four years and doing pretty well, but once I adopted the methods used in this course and moved my inventory to FBA our sales more than doubled and now equal our sales on eBay. A few weeks ago we went to Las Vegas for a trade show. In the past I would have to take down my eBay listings and suspend my Amazon listings since we would not be there to ship our goods. Now, I use FBA to fulfill both our eBay and Amazon sales. The little bit I pay in extra fees is made up by the savings in boxes and packing material and the discounted shipping rates I get from Amazon.”
