"The Twitter Report" Review, How To Get Your Free Copy

I just finished reading a new report by Walter M. Prorok. and Chris Vendilli.

The Twitter Report

Inside this report Walt and Chris talk about how to configure your Twitter account along with some free third party services to maximize your traffic.

I am a Twitter user, I think that I know a lot about Web 2.0 Applications including Twitter, but after reading through the whole report and watching a couple of the videos available at their website I must say, I'm impressed and I learn a lot more then I expected.

They have been silently attracting visitors to their sites using Twitter, and they have created a step by itty bitty step guide so that anyone can replicate their ideas and procedures.

I have to recognise that, with "The Twitter Report" and the videos that follow, they really created a procedure at it's finest.

Walt & Chris have uncovered every detail for setting up your Twitter account to give you maximum return, while keeping everything on auto-pilot as much as possible.

I know, you use trial and error method in the past, but why waste time, energy, and money trying to figure it all out on your own when you could just see how it all worked out for them and simply follow their suggestions that are already proven to work successfully?

After reading the report and watching some of the videos I give TwitterHints.com two enthusiastic thumbs up, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay on the cutting edge of this new wave of communications via social Networking.

You'll learn:

• How to configure your settings
• Which 3rd party sites to join, and
• How to set them up to run campaigns automatically
• and much more

I'm sure you'll enjoy "The Twitter Report" as much as I did, check it out here:

Until next time

Yes, your eBay business will go on top shortly

Ebay was for years our favorite auction selling platform.
After eBay banned Digital Products listed with digital delivered, fact which caught us by surprise, after implementing endless changes in 2008, which contribute to general confusion, I am confident to tell you that eBay will revitalize by his base of sellers.

It is not because they as a company come up with some genius ideas, it is because the work of dedicated sellers is showing now the determination to succeed and they work tireless to improved eBay business that some time really means there business as well.

By the way, the really genius ideas was the ideas of eBay founders. I remain you just one of them: eBay founders treated equally sellers and buyers therefore a negative feedback can be write for both of them, now is prohibited to live negatives for buyers.
This is fundamental, and the new eBay team has worked hard to destroy it. They create good rules for “buyers” and complete ignore sellers.
In consequence:

• a lot of sellers left eBay
• the buyers abuse the new rules
• the eBay tried to soften the rules they just created, but they don’t admitted that the new rules are the problem and of course they don’t come back to the golden rules the founders created from the beginning.

As a seller, I was a victim, if you are curious just drop a line in a comment and I’ll explain what happen.

Let’s come back to my idea - the good work of our piers.

First, Steve Lindhorst, an eBay Instructor, wrote a book called “Selling on the River”.

It wasn’t a "bash eBay" book. He objectively showed how to get the best of both worlds. Selling on multiple channels you can double your online income and it is not a bad idea. The eBay sellers aren’t familiar enough with Amazon, he explains the similarities and differences in such detail you can start selling on Amazon on the moment you finish to read the book.

It is true, we use to think of Amazon as just a place to buy books. We really need to take another look. Some sellers are making a killing selling the same products they sell on eBay, to an entirely different customer base.

“Selling on 'the River' - The eBay Seller's Guide to Selling on Amazon.com” is packed with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions to get you started. You'll also get tips and advice, screenshots, explanations of terms, and a couple of video tutorials created to show you how to list your products on Amazon.

Personally I think it is an excellent idea, and you will be better off to try it:

Second, after month of searching, Tracy Edwards comes up with a new eBook called: “Auction Classified Cash” it is about using Auction Classified Ads for Digital Products.

It looks like the new rules stabilize and now Tracy explains how we can work with the new rules on Classified ads and use them to continue to sell Digital Products on eBay.

It is about how to take advantage of eBay classified ads for maximum profits, very good timing and an excellent idea, I highly recommend Tracy eBook:
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/ClassAd

You will learn:

1. Why you should take advantage of eBay's Classified Ad format: you build your mailing list or make some quick cash promoting affiliate products
2. How to step by step create your Classified Ads using either eBay's 'Sell Your Item' page or eBay's own Turbo Lister tool
3. Find out the secret strategies for getting more clicks on your ad that will boost your traffic

5. Examples of REAL Classified Ads that are ranking well and which ad layouts get the best response and make you the most profit

Third, "Auction Traffic Formula" by Edson Buchanan just get out. His idea is don’t relay only on eBay's natural traffic. Discover how an eBay PowerSeller created a formula so powerful, it drives him over 10,000 unique visitors per month to his eBay auctions completely FREE!
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/AuctTraff

This eBook will show you exactly how easy it is to drive a ton of extra unique visitors to every one of your eBay auctions.The eBook will take you through every step eBay has to drive extra traffic then goes outside of eBay and shows you how to use the Internet for extra traffic. It is presented in an easy to follow format and has lots of videos that will show you exactly what the chapters are talking about.
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/AuctTraff

Summary:

My opinion is that the 3 products I just reviled have the power to get your eBay business to the next level, doesn’t matter what eBay as a company is doing.

I think it is clear that you are the one what must sophisticate, train, be in charged with the well being of your business, and master the eBay. Don't expect eBay to master your busines, they muster only there pockets.

Now you have the right tools to do just that!

All the best

Classified Ads and eBay Digital Products.

Since eBay banned Digital Products with instant delivery, Classified Ads was one solution but eBay never paid attention to Classified Ads and all of a sudden so many changes occurred, all of us got confused with both: Digital Products and Classified Ads rules as well.

I waited for a while to see if the eBay’s frenzy of changing rules will settle down.
Well, it is not a 100% grantee that the rules will stay as there are today, but at list they start to look stable and reasonable and I decided to start commenting them again.

I am glad that eBay solution for Digital Products is Classified ads because Classified Ads are:

• One of the quickest ways to build a list

Now Is Information Overload Clean Up Day For Me

Monday morning I fill tired, probably because I work 6 hays and a half per week. The body does his math and decides that the time off is not enough! But I don’t want to lose Mondays as working days and usually I create a list to do easy to accomplish for them. This Monday will be Information Overload clean up day.

Internet Marketing is full of contradictions, isn’t it?
Like:

• Everybody on our Planet tries to sell something to you but some people will tell you “Info Overload will hurt you”
• All gurus and not only they will tell you how wonderful is to start as an Affiliate Marketer. Ok, when you start to do it you find out that affiliate links are prohibited in: Forums, Ezines, Blogs and so on. Except Squidoo almost everybody turns a cold shoulder on affiliate links.
• If you ask, how I should drive traffic, the response is Forum, Ezines, Blogs, PPC and Web 2.0 (From 5 choices: 3 are prohibited, PPC is risky for beginners, Web 2.0 is Ok but not everybody knows how to do it.) What a nice and clear cut response you got!
• A couple of years ago, I attended a seminar in which I found out that Affiliate Marketing was the best think invented by humans since the sliced bread. At the lunch table I asked how many newbie succeed in Affiliate Marketing, the response was 5%. WOW! What an encouraging response for a newbie.

Now I am not a newbie but I am still learning and I still don’t have all the answers. To some degree, I can separate the weeds. I’ll try to share with you what I learn.

Why I need an Overload clean up day(s):

• First I created a plan which had too many thinks to do in a short period of time – unrealistic dead lines
• I didn’t kick the habit of working in more then one project at a time – I did 60% but definitely I have to discipline myself to work on just one project from top to bottom 100% – other wise I lose the focus and slow down entire process
• I have to learn to say NO from time to time. This is easy to say not as easy to implement.
  

As a result of all the above I cumulate “staff” which is not 100% well documented, or at list labeled, some never opened. Now I want to list some Digital Products on a website and eBay, and it is hard to find what I want. I need to delete, relabeled and documented all I have or I am going to work in jungle the rest of the year.

In short I need some time to clean the mess I created. I also decided to be more selective with what I want to buy from now on. Sound strange to hear something like this from a person who is doing Affiliate Marketing. Isn’t it!

Well, this is my point. Overflow Info is not going to directly hurt you, but indirectly it will because:

• It will interrupt your focus
• Slow you down, at list 2-3 new DP will appear every day
• Confuse some issues reading 2-3 ebooks at the same time

My take on this is:

• You have to have a very well done work plan
• Take just one task at a time, solve the task, and don’t jump to the next one until you completely finish the first one
• Don’t let anybody interrupt you
• Don’t work to more then one project at a time
• Follow just one leader at a time
• Learn from my own mistake

In 3 words: focus, hard work, and consistency

By the way, this week Terry Dean will publish “Traffic secrets 2.0”, I am sure it is a great product but everybody under the sun will promote the product.

I am not going to promote but for people who don’t know Terry Dean, I’ll help you to find out more about Terry and this way I’ll help you decide if this is a product for you or not.
I consider this is a good friendly help, because “Traffic Secrets 2.0” is expensive and what I offer you cost 2 Starbuck coffees ($10.00).

If you don’t know Terry, I think you better spend 10 bucks to find out who he is vs. spending hundreds of dollars for a product of an unknown author.
If you know Terry you already made your mind.

I think his product is excellent but different people have different needs, and you have to decide for yourself, first discover Terry Dean

All the best

Project New Web by Lee McIntyre

Hello! This is a review of a publication that is very close to my heart because it is related with Web 2.0, and producing FREE traffic using Web 2.0 or New Web.

Do you remember this headline?
“Discover a powerful System Any Beginner Can Steal To Earn $16,496.42 In 31 Days By Giving Away Their Best Secrets For Free”
It is celebration time for Lee McIntyre, this month will be one year since Lee started his online business. He had remarkable accomplishments to be proud of.

Let me tell you what he did. Well, he was sure that times have changed so techniques that gurus are still teaching that worked 5-8 years ago, they are not working NOW!

He stopped following gurus advice and instead he started doing things his way using Web 2.0 and the sales started flooding in .

When he started he had:
- No List
- No Product
- No Contacts
- No JV Partners

In the process he discovered and published the 3 major reasons why the old guru solutions no longer apply:

1) Reverse Sweep Viral Marketing is growing - the net is getting more connected by the day and people are starting to talk. A few years ago was easy to convince people to opt-in, buy, because each new product launch was an independent event. Treat your lists poorly now and your bad reputation will spread through the marketplace, vecause now evribody is related with evribody else. in Web 2.0 we are a big family.

2) Increasingly Tired and Jaded prospects are saying NO to hard selling and hype - people are fed up, and the old techniques like OTOs and over aggressive selling are getting less effective by the day.

3) Web 2.0 Momentum means the days of just talking at your prospects are over - we're in Web 2.0 world now and that means trying to 'sell' all the time just doesn't happend any more. While the old experts still teach you to sell hard, the net landscape has changed forever and that means giving away value is more appealing route to success.

In "Project New Web", Lee McIntyre can teach you how to do what he did. You can follow him in his foot steps and you can duplicate his success.

These are his five rules to help you make more money in the Web 2.0 world:

1. Stop Selling and Start Giving -
He has discovered the more value he give away, the more profits he get back... and he is going to teach you how to do exactly the same.

2. Build Deep Prospect Relationships And Not Shallow Ones - If you listen to any of the supposed big name marketers they'll tell you that email marketing is slowly dying. He is going to teach you how to build powerful relationships with your members that will make them want to buy from you again and again.

3. Look after your Prospects and Your Customers Will Look After You - He is going to show you the massive impact that treating your subscribers like gold can have upon your business, and how you can easily transform customers into your fans that help you.

4. Creating Value is More Important Than Manufacturing Profits – He is going to teach you why manufacturing profits is often counter productive, and how creating value instead will lead to a vastly increased earning potential.

5. Think Long Term and Participate - One of the reasons why so many people fail is because they spend their time chasing quick and easy opportunities they hope are just around the corner. He is going to show you why thinking long term is crucial for long term profits if you want to work once and get paid forever.

Find out more from the author of Project New Web.

Lee was convinced that it is still possible to earn a great living online and he proved it with his new product and he humiliated the experts by stomping on their rulebook.
I highly recommend Project New Web

New Rules on eBay Starting in May 2008

Hello! The light in my office is on, the coffee mug is there, let's get busy!

I’ll come back to an old topic now, “the eBay ban on Digital Products” (on Internet after 3 weeks … it is already old staff. It is amazing but it is true).

First it was a shock, I was unhappy too, but I didn’t start throwing stones on eBay.
I’ll explain why! There are actions with short or long achievement and usually the long achievement action can hurt from the beginning.

Do you remember when Google changed the rules on ranking in July 2006?
I lot of website owners was affected, me included. It was a brutal action; it was done over the night, without any explanation or giving us the new rules. I had Google tool bar on my browser and in one morning my rank was gone.
In a nutshell, the Google changes were done with a noble cause in mind, it was a loud cry for high quality pages, content pages!

The web was full of junk, without quality content and they wanted to stop the madness of poor pages on the Net. After almost 3 years, the web is cleaner now, everybody is convinced that the content is the king and the reason you are ranked or not. And everybody is striving to get content.

YES, a have to admit, there decision was a long term decision for improving the Internet content and, YES, they hurt a lot of people at the beginning of this process, but we are better off today.

Let’s come back to eBay. This is a company created for auctions, nothing else, just an application to facilitate e direct conversation between sellers and buyers about an item one wants to sell and the other wants to buy.

All of a sudden they discover that there are items which are selling at a price in the range if $0.01 and $0.99. I bought some e-Books costing me $0.10. Now eBay is a business, they make money taking a percentage, let’s say around $5.00.
1) How much they make if you sell some item with $0.10, please calculate $5.00 from $0.10.
2) It was a danger of transforming eBay in a junk auction company, a flea marketing company
3) They investigate why the sellers of Digital Products sell so low, the sellers really don’t make a profit and they are happy and continue to sell at so low price. They discovered the truth. The sellers of DP don’t make a profit on DP auctions, but they build a list, and they make a fortune outside of eBay with OTOs (One Time Offers), eBay doesn’t have earnings from OTOs and doesn’t care for them.

With other words we the people abuse the eBay system. It was not part of eBay business to create people's lists, in top of that people collected feedback for these low cost auctions and feedback system was manipulated as well.
I don’t make any excuse for eBay but I try to understand the reasons behind there action.

What eBay is doing now is what Google did in 2006. It is a long term decision to maintain eBay as a auction company, and maintain the good reputation of eBay, and don’t do business in the back of eBay with OTOs using the traffic of eBay.

I was hurt too but I really cannot blame them for doing it. Long term it will be OK and maybe the DP will start to sell at there real value. We have to stay in the positive side and obey the rules.

I didn’t like how they did it, it was a very short notice, they didn’t explain all the details, and when they changed the rules on Classified Ads they didn’t publish the new rules officially, to discover them you had to go in community help and read a lot.

What hurt me the most wasn’t the ban of DP, it was some rules they implement for feedback and PowerSeller policies.

My opinion is they have to treat sellers and buyers equally, the eBay founders did and for years the eBay business was prosperous and it was well appreciated by the public. Now the new rules are in the favor of buyers, and they forget about sellers.

Why I cannot let a negative feedback to a buyer, but the buyer can let me, the seller, a negative feedback. The buyers immediately begin to abuse the new rule, it was so many discussions back and force, and finally eBay changes the policy again. Starting from May a new change will be implemented in the favor of abused sellers this time.

The changes include protections for sellers against unfair negative Feedback:

1) Negative or neutral feedback will be removed when it appears a buyer is abusing the system. But, if you think this is happening to you, you must report to eBay by using the “Contact Us” link on any eBay Help page

2) eBay will also remove Feedback when a buyer doesn’t respond to an Unpaid item report

3) Or if buyer responds but doesn’t specifically call out seller performance, item condition or transaction problems

Wouldn’t be nicer just not to delete the equally treatment of sellers and buyers? But at list your voice made a difference.

Keep going the good work, eBay is still the best auction company and we all will benefit if we don’t abuse it. The focus must be how to stay within the rules, not how to find loopholes to do something else, profiting of FREE Bay traffic.
