Any experience with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I am considering trying Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark. It looks very good from everything I have been able to find online but is quite pricey around $1000. I have seen an older post on it but nothing new.

Has anyone out there tried this? Have you made money? Does it deliver as promised?

I have 2 affiliate websites for over a year now and have poured a lot of time and money in and have had dismal sales success and want to try something new.

If anyone has tried Amazon Selling Machine I would love to know your thoughts on this, thanks

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I always wonder if these guys are making so much money doing this why would they want to let others in on it? And when do they have the time to put this together? Maybe its just a way to make a quick buck? And if they are making multi thousands a month, why dont they just price it at 50 bucks and let everyone in on it?

btw, I have Jim Cockrums proven amazon course also. My first suggestion is to search youtube. There are lots of good videos on selling on amazon and sourcing products.

I purchased and refunded. It is about selling ecommerce through amazon. When I purchased he broke the payments up but I wasn't impressed with what he offered for the price. No problem getting a refund from him.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I'm sort of curious about this. I didn't think it has been sold yet as it so not sure if people are mixing it up with their last product ? I believe this new product Amazon Selling Machine is the final version/revamped methods to what they did in their product last year that was called Amazon Money Machines(which they call their beta product).

Only reason I looked at it was because a IM person I respect whose list I am and NEVER recommends anything is endorsing it and they are big time ecommerce players.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Yeah there has been a lot of confusion about it including my own, the official name is "Amazing Selling Machine" and I don't believe it it available yet other than beta testers

Just did a little research and found this: ASM is going for $3,497 and the official launch date is tuesday, march 12th, 2013 and cart closes at midnight March 18th...(Just google and you´ll see this everywhere)..

The key behind this program is finding the right product which you can brand that will produce good margins. Then secondary is just writing good sales copy and properly promoting the product to rank high.

Obviously the hard part which will require multiple attempts at losing money to find the perfect product, if you ever do find it.

But if you do find a great product where you can brand it and then get it ranked high, of course you can make that kind of money. Just good luck finding this product. If it wasn't about that, then they would freely tell you which products they use.

I don't think it is luck here... They put specific criteria to pick a product.. These criteria are in the free videos (also they supply a list of 17 hot products at the moment). I guess people with such free information will deliver huge value for this high price.

The hardest part is going to be finding the right products that have lots of buyers and low competition.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I may be being naive but their seller central accounts really look like they are doing well? If you buy 1000 dog nail trimmers is the price cheap enough to make 50%? They must be doing something right if the numbers are true!

This thread is a perfect example of why I love the WF. Lots of good information, including the potential price range. Thanks to those you who expressed their opinion and their insight about Amazon selling. I have watched the first three videos and read their PDFs and I feel like I have learned a lot and now I have learned more from this thread.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
We have the New Overhyped One:
Amazing Selling Machine for $3497

and we have the Old Proven One:
Proven Amazon Course for $347

The second one has a lot of Testimonials of Successful Students.

For me the choice is clear :)

Chris

P.S.
Great Thread

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I did talk to a well known IMer who is friends with product creators of this and no one has seen this product except for their beta testers. He said they have had beta testers achieve very big numbers(I wont give the exact numbers) but it seems they have developed an approach to be successful with amazon FBA rather than many stories you read about people trying FBA without much profit . This product comes with software too I guess.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Crikey!!! For $3500
I could take Amazon's Vice President, Marketing Manager and their buddies
out for a round of golf, cocktails and a steak dinner and probably end up with some
quality, current, "useable" information on how to build a successful business on Amazon.

$3500.... get real.

jmk909er 12th March 2013 12:35 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Wow! I'm shocked with the $3500 price tag. I really wanted to do this but I'm priced out. Plus I'm getting hit with a 34% cut in take home pay in about 3 weeks because of the sequestration budget battle by the clowns in Washington. With a family of 5 and a price tag of $3500 there's no way.

Earlier in this thread Jim Cockrum's Proven Amazon Course (PAC). Price - $347.00 one time payment. was mentioned and I looked into it a little. Can anyone out there recommend if this is a good one or not or has tried it? Thanks.

ChrisWF 12th March 2013 12:42 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Read post #28 for a way to get that PAC course for $97.

You can get into the Amazing Selling Machine course for $997 and take a refund after 30 days.
That way you can get 2-3 weeks of the 8 weeks content.

Anyway, they have 3 PDFs with a lot of great Information:
Here are the 3 direct download links for the pdfs:

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I see Mark Ling & his sidekick Matt Carter are peddling the ASM FBA course, as if it's the best thing they've ever seen online.

The Amazon FBA has been around for a while now. If I was looking to purchase this knowledge, I would go with Jim Cockrum's Proven Amazon Course. If you are on his list, you will remember the special he had at Christmas for $99. He will likely still honor it if you ask. There is absolutely no need to pay $1000 or more for such knowledge.

Jim Cockrum is the most respected online and doesn't push stuff just to make a quick buck like most others do. He actually wants to give his readers VALUE, as well. If all the other IM marketers truly wanted to help their readers in this area, they would be affiliates for Jim Cockrum. But money seems to play a huge part in what is promoted.

panorama 12th March 2013 02:54 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I'd be very hesitant to pay $3,500 for this course as well. I look at their motivation for selling this course, and it just doesn't make economic sense if the strategy is as profitable as they say it is.

It seems to be a good business model, but if you crunch some numbers, it would be more profitable for them to keep this information to themselves, rather than selling it - even at $3,500.

Let's look at a couple of facts:
  • Jason Katzenback says he makes over $100k profit per month with just 3 or 4 products.
  • Matt Clark says he makes much more than this, with 80% of his revenue coming from just 5 products.
So, with this info, let's say one *good* product can earn $20,000 per month in profit. That's $240,000 in profit PER YEAR for every good product. Now, let's assume each member of Amazing Selling Machine provides $1,000 in (one-time) profit to them after affiliate commissions and other costs.

Keep that in mind for a moment. Now think about how many memberships they can sell at this price. 1,000? 2,000? I think those are high estimates, but let's say 2,000 memberships, with $1,000 profit each. That's $2.0 million dollars total one-time profit, right?

It would only take 9 *good* products to exceed that (9 x $240,000 = $2.16 million), and that would be ANNUALLY, not a one-time profit.

In fact, if it were me, I'd personally rather make $1.0 million every year, rather than $2.0 million once.

So, what's the conclusion here?
  • Do they think they will be selling more than 2,000 memberships? I doubt it?
  • Do they think finding 9 more *good* products will be too difficult? That's my guess.
What does this mean for the members paying $3,500 with the expectation of outsized profits? Remember, now you'll have hundreds/thousands of members pursuing the EXACT same strategy. There may be millions of products available on Amazon, but how many will this business model work with?

My guess is that the opportunity is much smaller than they are making it out to be - and that's without all these new members. That's why it makes sense for them to sell this course rather than keep the business model to themselves.

bullseyemarketing 12th March 2013 04:22 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Actually the price is about $4000 since I am sure most people that do buy this will take the payment option. $997 X 4 payments......

WhiteStarlight 12th March 2013 04:41 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
It is the most expensive online marketing product I have ever seen. I thought it's price would be around 500-1000$, but actually it was a shock for me when I saw the price. I don't know whether the product is good, but the price of 3500$ seems like too much for me.

I also see additional costs here - like trip to Austin (where they will hold a live event), I guess after paying that much for the course you absolutely have to attend their live training.

What I don't like about the payment is that they don't have an integrated Paypal payment option (you have to contact support in order to do that).

Also I think that 30-day refund period might be a bit too low for that program (I think it should be 60 days), cause it will take some time to find a right supplier, ship the item to the Amazon and finally start selling.

Panorama actually got a great point in his post. There always should be a good reason for the price and for the time the offer is available.

But in overall I think that Amazon Fullfilment is a great idea.

Brantley 12th March 2013 04:47 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
$3500 :eek: What a joke !!!

I can be trained by two mentors that everyone here knows that have an AWESOME reputation, for a month of 1 on 1, side by side coaching for less than that, and I could guarantee myself to be making money within 30 days.


And if not, I would gain enough skills,wisdom and knowledge that if I applied it, and I would, I could build a seven figure business
within a year.

Problem is, I don't have that kind of money.....yet

AllanWard 12th March 2013 05:34 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I've just had a quick read of the pdfs that were posted here earlier which provide a pretty good overview of the system. My impression is that it all revolves around white-labelling your own product and then selling lots of them via Amazon. This can work well for products with a high demand and where you're able to white label them. By white labelling the product they believe you're able to achieve higher profit margins.

Of course, you need to ensure the quality of the product that you're selling so perhaps some types of products are more suited to this model. For example, there's not much that can go wrong with a spatula when compared to an electronic item. And I'd steer clear of any health-related product where you run the risk of being sued because you didn't know what ingredients where in the product you were selling.

The concern I have is that as long as you're selling a product that's easily replicable, you run the risk of competitors undercutting your price, eroding your high margins. And as long as the model involves you just sourcing the products from a wholesaler and then selling them through Amazon, there's nothing unique about your product.

To be fair the product creators suggest that you can gain an advantage if you promote the product well via Amazon and You Tube and they're right - this will enable you to stand out from competitors. However, there's nothing to stop other people from doing the same thing.

The overall strategy makes sense, but it really has little to do with the traditional IM product. This is all about selling a physical product via an online marketplace. I think the reason it's being promoted to the IM space is because people are looking for the magic way to make millions and this product promises that.

I still don't understand why these guys need to make a course about it and sell it. If they're making so much money, and want to make more, surely they're better off finding some more product opportunities on Amazon that they can white-label?

ScottLindsay 12th March 2013 05:52 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Great thread! Thank you everyone for all of the input.

I have been trying to decide if I should buy the course since it does have a 30 day money back guarantee. So really not much to risk especially if the info proves to be valuable.

However, I did have a concern that the course is an 8 week course. Does this mean it can only be accessed as they release it? I really don't like that. I would rather be able to see the course in its entirety and work it at my own pace.

I just spoke to their support staff and they said "Yes, it can only be accessed as we release the modules per week"

I really don't like that set up.

Can anyone tell me how Jim Cockrum's Proven Amazon Course is set up? Does it provide the same type of info and does it offer software to help run the business?

Thank you for the feedback!

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I had been meaning to unsub from a lot of lists and I will give this course credit for one thing...it has given me the kick in the pants needed to do so. I have unsubbed from everyone who mailed for this and let them know why. I would have thought that one of them would have at least offered a reach-around as a bonus.

rmoore 12th March 2013 06:45 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I bought it as soon as it was released.

I plan on building a 7+ figure physical product business and was looking for what I considered to be the best Amazon course.

Jason and Matt are stand up guys...and not only have they created significant incomes...they have a quite a few beta testers who have created a full-time income.

Honestly...some of the other courses sound good. I was just looking for the most direct path to hitting my goals.

So far have already met several other successful online marketers in the community forum. This mastermind is a great bonus.

Thank you for letting is know Rusty. What do you think of how they release the course gradually over 8 weeks? I would rather work at my own pace rather than stretch it out that long. Why are they doing this?

rmoore 12th March 2013 07:17 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Scott,

I think they are doing so to stop people from downloading everything and sharing on various sites, then requesting a refund, etc.

To be honest...I kind of like this pace anyway. I tend to jump the gun too quickly with big decisions. This way I will give my product and market ideas some time to incubate before dropping cash on suppliers, etc.

I think the price is absolutely fair for the product being offered. It certainly isn't for everybody, but for people who already know a few things about IM and have had some success...this is a no-brainer.

I have had very good success over the years in IM and have been full time for over 10 years. However, I rarely buy courses but the ones I have bought never live up to what they say. It just never makes sense to me why someone who is making this kind of income would share their "secrets" or even take the time to do this. I usually feel that they have done well at the opportunity but that things have died off and they can't grow beyond where they are. So, they look for another way to make money outside of the actual opportunity. I may be wrong but I have seen this done many times by internet marketers.

rmoore 12th March 2013 07:38 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
mahetze2123,

Agree with you that people who tend to hop from one thing to the next should avoid this.

It isn't really fair to label this product in the category of "shiny objects".

This is a major business model being taught here.

I've been a full-time info product marketer for years and have always wanted to get into the physical product market. I never really saw a course that covered this in the detail I desired...until now.

I really doubt that Jason and Matt are trying to get one over on people. There is a large group of successful people in the info product space jumping on board here. We simply want to learn how to use some of our marketing skills to give us an advantage in the Amazon marketplace.

Both Jason and Matt come from the info product world and have successfully transitioned into doing well on Amazon. So for info marketers who have had some success...these are the right people to learn from.

This probably isn't the best thing for people who have not earned their first dollar online.

-Rusty

NEseO 12th March 2013 08:01 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Here is what I know...I purchased the course they came out with last year that they sold for $1k...was it worth $1k? Certainly not! I guess if you were complete newbie it would be helpful but still i think it was overpriced. It had a few gems but for the most part it was basic information most IM'ers know or know where to get it..especially for less than $1k. In addition the forum was super weak, I found it extremely difficult to find a product that you could make any margin on. Its like someone said above...its probably harder to find these "opportunities" then it is to put together and sell a high priced course.

Fast forward to this year and their new product...well a friend of mine asked Jason what categories are best to find these great products..after all he said there are thousands of opportunities and and it will NEVER get saturated. Now keep in mind my bud was asking for a primary category like Beauty or Electronics and there are only like 20-30 main categories in amazon. Well Jason wouldnt even say what category he has seen work well or ones that dont...I am sorry if there are so many opportunities why are you worried about saying here are a few that might be worth a go??? I mean these primary categories have thousand upon thousands of products...

So back to last time, it was 60 day refund policy and my guess is they got enough refunds so this time around they said hey we have to grab as much money as possible so lets make the refund policy less time then what it takes to really get the entire product this way by the time people see the entire course and come to the conclusion that its not worth $4k its to late for a refund.

Heck i could be wrong, maybe this is the greatest product ever made (but I swear I see that once every couple months lol) but experiencing what I got for $1k last time this is a definitely a no brainer...dont buy!

amuro 12th March 2013 08:28 PM

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
The price of over $3K is way too expensive and out of budget.

The minute I received an email from Greg Jacobs of his bonus to anyone buying through his affiliate link, I knew rightaway it is going to be a high-end product since he only endorses products of those category. I may be wrong but that is the impression he gave me based on his past promo emails.

From $997 and above.

I already have 2 Amazon courses. One is Affiliate Cash Snipers by Michael Rasmuseen and Mike Mograbi while the other is Ama Suite by Chris Guthrie and Dave Guindon released in this forum special offers - both last year.

So I don't see the point of investing in another Amazon course.

There are some really upset customers in that course and a ton of unanswered questions in their forum. And just so you know it isn't just sour grapes, they are both doing very well on Amazon, but they had to learn most of it elsewhere as there was A GREAT DEAL OF INFO that was left out of the original course.

Is this really true that they didn't even complete the previous course? Is this verified?

What set my alarm bells of was that Jason claims to have only been selling on Amazon since October 2012 yet the previous course they did was out before this........

Maybe he was only involved in a marketing capacity before but still seems a little dodgy.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
It has certainly been a very slick launch and to be fair some of the free content has been informative. That said, the price tag is extremely high.

I'd be interested to see what results and benefits purchasers will find a few months down the line once the hype has died off.

Indeed, there are.

In the what-seemed-like-forever ramp up leading to the big reveal of its outrageous price, I followed the Facebook comments on it. I've come to the conclusion that most people really are stupid, just based on the questions people asked. One thing I must give the guys selling it credit for is how patient and polite they were with most of them.

I'd have been willing to pay up to $500 for it. $3,500? They're out of their freaking minds.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
What I found rather amazing was that you are only allowed to use the software for 2 years.

After that they will figure something out! Maybe charge a nominal fee or something.

I think this sleight of hand was easily missed.

Do they think most will have fallen by the wayside or something?

These mega priced courses rarely fulfil all the hype. It is never as easy as they say. Nothing ever is.

So if you do buy then have your eyes wide open.

I'd hazard a guess that the refund rate for this will be over 50%....

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
As someone making a full time living doing what they teach, I thought I'd chime in. First, I need to say I haven't bought the product and I think it's overpriced. I watched the free videos, the webinar with Matt Carter) and read all of the comments on the free videos and see that they are doing exactly what I've done (without the course). They find a product that is hot, they "make their own version" (basically brand it with a logo and in my case, a trademark) and sell it for higher prices than competing "brands" through FBA (fulfillment by Amazon) allowing their fulfillment process to be automated. This DOES work and it works well. However, I make around $10,000- $15,000 profit a month, NOT $100,000 (though I only have 2 branded products and they are not in the "best sellers"- they have 5-30 that ARE in the best sellers so it IS possible.)

With this said, here is my recommendation. If you don't know much about FBA, where to find inventory, how to sell, etc, check out Jim Cockrum's course. This course is really just a lot of products that previously sold separately all rolled into one. I had already purchased most of the material, ebooks etc separately before the "course" came out and this is how I got started. It WORKS! All the material that is included in this course is a steal even at full price!). I have ACTUALLY MADE MONEY putting this into practice

If you don't want to spend money, pick up the first e-book I ever read on the subject:
Selling on Amazon's FBA Program
(I actually paid money for this one back in the day and it was WORTH it!)

All of this to say, these guys are NOT lying that this opportunity is HUGE. If you purchase the course and put it into action, you WILL make your money back in a short time. However, what really rubbed me the wrong way was how everything is presented as "easy" and "anyone can do this." The truth is, there are headaches, blood, sweat and tears put into this kind of business. It's not "easy" and you have a lot of roadblocks and failures before finding something that will be successful, but it IS worth it and judging from the free videos and PDFs, these guys DO have some GREAT strategies for doing what I've done- and they do it a lot quicker and better! If the price was under $500, I would probably buy, but since I've already been through the process, the free information was enough to get some ideas rolling... Hope this helps anyone who is considering this.

This thread has been a great source if information. After doing much evaluation and research it looks to me like Jim Cockrum's Proven Amazon Course has a solid reputation and track record and is updated with new things all the time and has a huge private online community with a lot of stuff to help you out.

I just purchased it! Hopefully I will have some good news to report back in a few weeks. Warrior Forum is great for filtering through the BS, thanks for all the input!

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
I rarely write on the forum, but I had to say something..

Looks like thanks to Amazon Selling Machine a lot of people bought Jim Cockrum's Proven Amazon Course.. I bought Jim's course too!

Now my critism about ASM:

- Like many of you said, the "8 week course" is not ready.. AND for such higher product I want to get access to all the material from day 1.
- 30 Day policy? a joke! you still have 2 weeks to see the first class, another 3-4 to get a product on FBA.. 30 day policy is gone by now. And most probably they wont talk about ordering your porduct until week 2 or 3..
- and last, no software screenshots? no videos? the software claims to do a lot but nobody knows how it looks or works...

No thanks, I'm more than happy with Jim's course.

And this why a lots of "guru" promoted ASM:

-----------
Our “Standard Commission” is 40% which earns you $1,398.80 PER SALE. *BUT*…
We’re offering a “Bonus Commission” of an additional 10% if you mail for all 3 pre-launch videos and the cart open.
You will then earn you a 50% commission or $1,748.50 PER SALE.

go look the prices for the jv, Amazing Selling Machine JV Center

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I think the most noticeable difference between the two is the new one is all about private labeling with wider profit margins rather than the former one which was dropshipping? There, I just saved everyone $3,400+

LOL ... and that's on top of their own "this is all you'll ever need to make it on the net" membership sites.

If you are on his list, you will remember the special he had at Christmas for $99. He will likely still honor it if you ask. There is absolutely no need to pay $1000 or more for such knowledge.

I have to agree with the quality of Jim's PAC course. It's one of the few courses I'd feel comfortable recommending. I bought it at the sale price and have been slowly working through the ton of information that comes with it. My main business is offline so I bought it as a possible way for me to diversify. I was pleasantly surprised, it really opened my eyes to how to solve the shipping issue that plagued me when I used to run myself ragged on ebay years ago.

Now that my eyes have been opened on the correct way to streamline shipping, I can have a second look at that business model.

Yeah, he's literally one of only four internet marketers that don't spam by inbox with useless offers of the day, etc. Information actually worth reading (so far).

Maybe he can even post his thoughts on the hoopla over this new $3,500 shiny object course in his silent membership area. ;)

Sadly, money is the only thing that drives the majority of IM offers. Most are looking looking for patsies to churn and burn and more than a few are coming from fake it until you make it wannabes.

I read through their pdfs which I though were pretty good but one red flag went up when they said that have already taught over 2000 people how to follow this business model.
They also kept saying that Jason just recently started selling physical products a few short months ago. Plus the course was just released yesterday.
These things all seem to contidict each other. - than a stop sign went up when I heard the price.

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
Did you guys notice that Jim Cockrum is following this thread? :D

I know this because he thanked someone who was saying good words about him personally (not necessary about the course).

Refraining from participating into a thread that's discussing a competitor's product.

Not that anything is wrong if he participate...
But this by itself is a good sign that he's a good online businessman :cool:
and gives more credibility for his PAC course (I really have no affiliation with him what so ever).

Jim Cockrum... you have my respect :)

Re: Any experiance with Amazon Selling Machine by Matt Clark?
 
So they are saying the old $1,000 course doesn't work, but the new $3,500 course does?

I predict next year's course, "Double Extra Secret Selling Machine"* (DESSM) will sell for $7K, and will really, really, really (no really!) work.

I hope the "hands on" training they're offering now, doesn't take the form of pulling my leg.
