Build An Information Products Long Term Business Online

Review of "eBay Powerseller In 90 Days" by John Thornhill

You expect this to be a product about - Becoming an eBay Powerseller In 90 Days, don’t you?

Well, that is covered in John Thornhill’s product - but it's actually much more than that.

Anyone who has ever tried to get to powerseller status on eBay will understand the reluctance of most people these days even trying for it.

I can tell you that only extremely stubborn and determined ever make it through!

What about the profit, these stubborn people actually make a profit out of eBay experience?

What John Thornhill does, from where is coming his enthusiasm about selling Information Products on eBay?

John has been steadily tapping into the Information Product market on eBay, he sells digital downloadable products and thereby avoids any trips to post office or costs involved, and in fact all he has are his eBay fees and PayPal fees. His enthusiasm is definitely coming from the fact that this market is huge if you use it properly.

John has a system in place that makes him money - as he has been trading on eBay for 5 years and he happily displays his eBay ID - planetsms, and his positive feedback of over 14,000. How many people you know with such a huge number of feedbacks? Personally I can count them with fingers from just one hand. He must do something right!

Did you hear comments about eBay being dead; there is no way we can continue to sell eBooks or other Information Products on eBay and so on?

Well I am curious by nature, and I studied what John did, how he did it, and I can tell you that I learned a lot from his experience. I had a lot of surprises and I ended trusting his knowledge, methods and I decided that he really was an example to follow. No regrets so far. I am happy with my results.

What he is offering now it is not an eBook about “Becoming an eBay Powerseller In 90 Days”.

He is offering a package, a membership, a specific fully build WebSite for selling Information Products without hype or hiding spots.
He is offering not just an action plan, but everything that anyone would need to know and follow.
He includes a host of tools and products, listing templates and literally thousands of ebooks ready to be listed on eBay or outside of eBay.
You are prepared for more - John adds new ebooks monthly.

If you are determined to be successful in this industry with a huge market you must start with his step by step tutorials and get everything set up to sell the quantity's required to achieve powerseller status.

What frankly impressed me more than tutorials, templates and eBooks; it was his FORUM, where he goes on to give more advice about maximizing profits through his "Many Streams Make A River" concept....

So to conclude:
Q: Can the 90 day powerseller package do what it claims?
A: In my opinion a definite Yes, if:
  • you are prepared to follow step by step and
  • put in the work initially required to get there.
But as I mentioned at the start having looked at the entire package, it is far more than just about eBay and PowerSeller status.

It's about:
  • building a sustainable long term business online,
  • incorporating many income streams, and
  • giving all the advice, help and support needed for anyone to achieve success
It is a fresh breeze, it really is!

The package can be viewed, I advise at list read the landing page and if you are impressed as I was, order here now:

And by the way it comes with a 100% money back guarantee!

eBay or Amazon or both

I finished reading an interesting e-Book and I cannot wait to share with you:

Selling on “The River”
The eBook Seller’s guide to Amazon.com
by former eBay University Instructor Steve Lindhorst,
foreword by Skip McGrath.

I was surprised, intrigue, and delighted in the same time because usually people are bias but Steve and Skip are really open minded and talented business men.

The general ideas are:
  • Don’t put all your eggs in just one basket! There are good benefits coming out from Multi-Channel Selling
  • eBay and Amazon are different, the rules are different, the audience is different
  • Both Steve and Skip want to use eBay and Amazon because they can compensate each other and they totally ignore “eBay Alternative Sites”
I cannot agree more. I looked at what we call “eBay Alternative Sites”, and I am not impressed. The software is poor, rules are simple and loopholes will be easy to create and abuse. If one of them will get as sophisticated as eBay application is now, maybe, but this is going to happen many years from now. Nobody can compete with eBay over the night.

To use both make a lot of sense to me.
EBay remains an “auction” company, still perfect for collectibles, antiques and vintages items, art and craft as well.
But the market place is changing as we speak. In the last 2-3 years people are more inclined to buy “fix-price” items, they don’t have time, and patience to follow an auction.
Amazon is perfect as a “fix-price” place to buy and sell.

I know the eBay rules but never had time to discover the Amazon rules, mainly because eBay use to educate people about eBay, but Amazon through you in the jungle and let you to discover how to get out of it and use it properly. If you meet a lion they don't care.

Steve Lindhorst is a very good teacher, he explains in details:
  • what eBay and Amazon have in common,
  • what is different and
  • when is better to use one or the other.
Finally I discovered the Amazon rules, and YES, make sense to use both eBay and Amazon not one against other. Use one to compensate the other.

After you read the 50 pages Steve’s e-Book you can jump and sell on Amazon as well.

Good luck!

10 Highly Profitable eBay Niche Businesses Anyone Can Do

My review for:
10 Highly Profitable eBay Niche Businesses
Anyone Can Do by Skip McGrath.

Finding a unique niche is one of the fastest and easiest ways to start making money on eBay.

As an Education Specialist trained by eBay I chat with my students, especially with the ones from the beginner class.
I use to ask simple questions as: what you want to sell on eBay, and the majority of answers are: electronics, cars, books, movies.
With other words, there are big dreams in areas with a lot of competition.
I gently ask if any research was done about the competition.
The typical answer is NO, and no wander that only 20% of new eBay sellers succeed and 80% fail. I don’t want to scare the beginners but I don’t want them to start with false promises.

To be successful on eBay you must understand the eBay phenomenon. Especially now, with millions of people on-line selling and buying, the items with a lot of competition are not a good start for a beginner.

EBay itself has changed over the years. There are hundreds of large companies, warehouses included, selling on eBay and this has made it harder for the little guy to compete.

I did 2 years ago some drop shipping with a warehouse I trusted. One year I made decent profit. All over sudden my products from that warehouse stopped to sell. I did some research and I discover that the warehouse itself started to sell directly on eBay, and the prices warehouse offered on eBay was lower then prices warehouse offered me to buy items. As you can see, I wasn’t able to compete with the warehouse, my own drop shipper, on eBay.

In 2 month I gave up doing business with the warehouse, I started to search other avenues to make a profit.

This is other crucial lesson, the market trends are changing rapidly and we must find our quickly enough and adapt at any new changes.

What Skip McGrath accomplishes in his new e-Book is:

  • He explains the advantages of small niche marketing and why they are working on eBay
  • He shows proven niche markets that anyone can work in
  • He finds niches that people can enter with very little investment and no risk

And as usual, everything Skip preaches is coming from experience and quality research. He is an excellent researcher, an open mind seller, and an honest teacher.

Any advice I got from him over the years was pure gold, never hype or bragging.

The e-book is for people who know to sell on eBay but never bother to search narrow niche, specialized niche which can be a real good source of profit.

I bought Skip McGrath e-Book, and after a couple of years being an eBay seller, I still found out good ideas and a lot of surprises coming out from his fabulous bonuses.

How Resale Rights e-Books Can Make You a Fortune

I had ups and downs in my life as the majority of people.

It is true the money makes the world go round. And when you don’t have enough for a decent life, you will find out that you don’t have friends, associates, even relatives.

And the only way to prevent money from controlling your life is to have enough of them to completely eliminate the downs in your life.

I know what you are thinking now: this is a theory, but how you can accomplish this. I will tell you how.

Did you know that more money was made online last year by novices than by established Internet personalities?

A big revolution is taking place online as we speak, and it is in the best interests of people like you and me.

There was a time when the only people making money online were those people who knew exactly what they were doing, they were knowledgeable, and they were called gurus. People bought what they were selling because they had a reputation for providing quality and they already were recognizable of being Internet personalities.

But it is part of the human nature, with to much money coming in, some gurus became arrogant and ordinary people start to avoid them, and stopped buying from them. The market was still there, people wanted to buy information products, but they turned the head in a different direction, they want honest, hard-working, regular people.

This is how resale rights products became successful, and this is why, the last year, resale rights products have been the biggest booming industry. If you have been scared by the reputation of gurus because you don't think there is room left in the market for you, then think again.

To learn more about resale rights products and how you can start making money in just seven days, click on the link below:

Resale Rights Blueprint

This is a step-by-step training course, showing you how to move from where you are now to owning your own successful online business, selling resale rights products, in just seven days.

The course is very well organized, for each day you will get: a PDF, a Checklist, Video Tutorials, and Templates.

I put my reputation on the line to tell you that this method is a key of success which can be duplicated by everybody who wants to learn, works hard, and gets in the top in a short period of time.

Selling Digital Products after eBay banning them

The Shock, After Shock, and Solutions.

First, it was the shock, the earth was trembling, we cannot sell Digital Products with Instant Digital Delivery on eBay, but we have the following options:
  • Put them on CD or DVD
  • Use Classified Ads
  • Use USB Flash Drives
  • Use Memory Cards
It was hard to swallow, not everybody was prepared to switch from Instant Digital Delivery to create a physical item and so on.

Second, it was an after shock, eBay changes the rules on Classified Ads which makes even harder to use them.
The new rules are:
  • We cannot put a "pay now PayPal button" on a Classified Ads
  • We cannot put an opt-in list on a CA
  • We cannot put an external URL to a website on a CA
To be honest with you, I was looking in disappointment at the new rules, and I ask myself what in the world we can put on Classified Ads to have a sell.
Is not the purpose of a list or a Classified Ad on eBay to generate a sell?

I overcame the after shock and I begin to use my search skills to find out what we can do.
This is my take on this:

Solutions:

1) We can create an eBay list for a physical product on CD. To do this we can use MyDD software to transform the PDF of an e-Book in a physical product CD or DVD. Also read the Do not Panic Report.

In just 2 weeks Socrates created a new version of MyDD which is able to do just that. With the version 3.0:

  • We send to MyDD the the URL of the PDF
  • They will work with kunaki to create the physical product
  • They will send the CD or DVD to the address we indicate.

This is a fantastic solution, it will cost a decent amount you will take it from shipping cost of the physical product paid by customer, and all you do is you transmit the URL of a PDF. This really means the process is still automated because you are not the one who physically pack and send the CD/DVD.

2) We can use a Classified Ad very carefully to stay in the eBay new rules. Up till now we have 2 solutions:

  • One is very well explained in a video by Jim Cockrum, the idea is to use just an email which will connect with aWeber email and use the power of follow up messages to send customers where you want. Search MySilentTeam for the video
  • The other one is to use John Thornhill technique of creating Classified Ads with an opt-in list for a discount of a product, request a confirm email address and again use Follow up messages of aWeber for the rest of the process (sale Page to buy it, etc).

You can go on eBay and look at planetsms to find an example of John's Classified Ad.

If you sell CD/DVD via eBay, I suggest looking it over Digital Media Solution and you will find exactly what you need to do, to take your Product to the next Level.

You will find out what are the advantages of placing your product on disk - because the size of CD you can include more bonuses in CD and increase the value of your product.

You will get a professional looking complete package which looks much better than “download a .zip file”.

  • You will learn how you can structure your CD/DVD to achieve simplicity and quality
  • You will learn how to create a simple menu system that will link to your CD/DVD content
  • You will get 5 CD/DVD pre-made menu designs for your auto-run disk navigation, complete with PSD source file, you can edit if you require and a ready to go HTML menu system
  • You will get 5 CD/DVD pre-made box designs for your need, complete with PSD source file so you can edit if you require, a ready to go default image and blank image
  • You will get 5 CD pre-made case designs for your CD cases, Complete with PSD source file
  • You will learn how to integrate an auto-responder newsletter subscription form
  • You will learn how to make your CD/DVD automatically run once inserted

and much more

You really will get a professional looking package which will make customers to return to do business with you.
