Tips To Start Your eBay Business

I've just heard about an exciting opportunity that I had to share with you right away. It involves the website eBay.com, and requires a bit of work on your part.

However, the payoff for you could be absolutely HUGE!

Let me explain...

I just received a message from Derek Gehl of the Internet Marketing Center, who had some pretty amazing news...

He told me that for the first time ever, he's convinced his elite team of eBay PowerSellers to let him put their proven success system down on paper, so ANYONE can use it to achieve life-changing income on eBay.

(This is the same system his eBay experts are using to teach their students how to build their own successful eBay businesses. Many of these students are making $1,000 to $10,000 a month on eBay -- within a matter of weeks!)

Anyway, here's where the 'opportunity' part comes in...

See, because this is the first time he's released this system to the general public, he needs more people who can "testify" that his system actually works.

If making a LOT of money (at least $100,000+ in your first year) is something that interests you, I'd like to invite you to check out a "review copy" of his new eBay profit system and give it a try!

And because he's so certain you're going to achieve incredible success with this system, he's willing to let you test-drive it absolutely risk free for a full 30 days -- for only 99 cents!

Derek is banking on the fact that you'll be up and running and making BIG profits on eBay in the next month or so, and will write him a nice "testimonial" that he can put up on his web page when he rolls out his full launch of this system to the public.

If not, no big deal... Just send it back and it won't have cost you anything.Sound interesting?

P.S. I should mention, by the way, that this "system" has nothing to do with selling junk from around your house or scrounging stuff from flea markets and reselling it on eBay. See for yourself at: http://www.auctiontips.com/t.cgi/1099232/powersellers

Can I show you a way to earn extra commission?

Hi,

As a valued subscriber, I want to show you an exciting opportunity that is currently earning thousands of other netrepreneurs huge incomes every single month without the headaches of actually selling your own product!

The fact is, I don't typically endorse other people's products, never mind business ventures. However, after generating some serious profits doing nothing more than making a few simple recommendations, I just knew THIS WASN'T A SECRET I COULD KEEP TO MYSELF.

The "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" course is the #1 best-selling Internet Marketing course online -- and now you have the UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to recommend this quality product to your visitors, customers, and subscribers, and...

EARN A $65 COMMISSION ON EVERY COPY SOLD!

This means that you can easily:

A) CAPITALIZE ON THE LIFETIME VALUE OF CUSTOMERS you may have from an existing e-business by sending them "backend" offers for the course. (Statistics have repeatedly shown that, of the people who have bought from you before, 36% WILL BUY AGAIN!)

B) EARN 250% MORE SALES than you would promoting your own product by making a "friendly recommendation" as opposed to pushing your own product or service.

... All without the usual hassles and expense of product development and fulfillment!

It's extremely easy to do because you just post a link, a banner, or a short letter of recommendation on your web site -- or perhaps recommend the course in your newsletter or e-zine -- and then COLLECT A PERCENTAGE OF THE PROFITS (called a "referral fee") when a sale is made!

You don't ever worry about:

- Collecting the money

- Packaging the product

- Shipping the product

- Customer service

... or anything else for that matter! You just do the promotion and collect your referral fee from the resulting sales!

Typically, affiliates who have web sites with low traffic earn between $400 - $900 per month, affiliates with medium traffic sites earn anywhere from $1,200 - $2,700 per month, and heavy traffic sites can expect $4,000+ per month. Their top affiliates are earning $8,000+ every month!

So if you'd like to learn how you can join the Internet Marketing Center's Affiliate Program today -- at absolutely no cost, with absolutely no risk -- and start profiting from products that are earning current affiliates thousands of dollars every month, then I highly recommend visiting...

But don't hesitate. I've sent you this e-mail because we're kicking ourselves for not joining sooner, and as a valued subscriber, I don't want you to lose out by making this same mistake.

All the best,

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing

So you finally made it. Despite other people trying to discourage you, your web site is online, and you are anxiously waiting for the first sell. After a sleepless night, you jump out of bed and start your computer. You already see yourself laughing all the way to the banks with your moneybags....

Boom! It hurt you harder than a freight train. No sales yet! Worse is, you open your wallet, only to see old receipts. Hmm, how will I be able to sell my products if I can even afford a marketing campaign?

That person was me, 4 years ago. Yes, I found a way to promote my product through the web, and sold a few. My sales and marketing campaign didn’t cost me a dime…yet I was able to reach a global audience in a few days only. How? By discovering one of the most reliable marketing technique on the Internet, called affiliate marketing.


What is affiliate marketing?


Affiliate marketing is one the oldest method of selling your product. The method of operation is simple: You have an affiliate that sends customers to your web site, and when a transaction is made, the affiliate gets rewarded with a small fee for the referral.

Let’s pretend your company is selling a fitness supplement. The Internet is all new to you, and experience is not on your side. You will try all-day to make a single sale, turning in circle on the Internet in the forums and discussion board, pushing people to buy your product. Why waste your time when you could be doing more productive tasks?


This sounds good, but what are the benefits?


The biggest plus about affiliate networking is you will only be paying the referrer when a sales transaction is made, so your investment remains safe until the last minute. Since your salesman has every reason to reach as many people as possible, you know your brand will be exposed before tons of possible customers, all for your company’s benefit.

Every company needs a mercenary sales force. They have the network and the knowledge that you don’t have, and would take too long for you to acquire.



Ok, how do I join?


The early days of affiliate networks were a mess. Spam, pop-up, fake web sites…referrers were constantly trying to cheat the system. There were little control from the web master on the affiliates, and this was deteriorating the service.

Now in 2006, business owners can now join affiliate networks that will safely manage their campaign for them: All you have to do is open an account, give your web site url, and that’s it. We recommend clickbank, and fastclick.

A recent survey indicated that 84% of online business reported a 20% growth after using affiliate marketing. What are you waiting for?

Build your business by watching TV!

Dear Friend,

Do you own a television and a VCR or DVD player?
Because if you do, I want to give you over 278 minutes (that's over 4 hours!) of information that you can use to start or grow a profitable Internet business right away!
See, it's scientifically proven that some people learn better and faster by "seeing" and "hearing" than by reading.

So if you're one of those people who would rather watch someone do a "live" demonstration of how to build a successful online business instead of just reading about it, listen up!
I have access to over 278 minutes of video footage with Internet marketing legend Corey Rudl, giving demonstrations of how he made $7.6 million per year using the Internet.
PLUS, you'll get real-life examples of how other peopleare making $100,000+ per year with THEIR web sites using histechniques... so you can model their success, too!
To start watching these videos right away, visit:
http://www.marketingtips.com/ultimate/t/883551/
But don't put this off... Other people have paid as much as $5,000 to get this SAME information -- so I highly doubt these videos will be available for long.

Hope you enjoy!

Niche to meat you

Niche to meat you


If there is one thing established and new businesses have in common, it is the importance of identifying your target market. It probably sounds obvious, although many new businesses suffer from a lack of market clarity, as they try to please every consumer. When the brakes on your car need to be changed, are you going to a general garage or a brake specialist? And when you eat out, aren’t you a bit suspicious of restaurants that list every type of food on their menu?

Theses business might still break even at the end of the day, although the “shoot in the middle’’ approach is the guarantee to a slow growth. Why not consider the consumer type more likely to buy your product, and focus all of your services and marketing on him? This is called niche marketing.

If your business focuses on filling a need, clearly defined by a group of potential customers holding the same demographics, you are hitting a niche market. The more outlined your market is, the easier to craft an advertising message that will reach your audience personally.

Most of the times, the big mainstreams companies are using the approach “let’s sell to everybody”. They need the profits, so they engage in massive sales transactions. The smaller groups with specific needs are too small to serve them profitably. They will leave theses small groups (and the profits that goes with them!) to the smaller businesses.

The faster you will be able to identify your niche market, the faster your new venture will start to make sales. This factor is often overlooked, since a key success factor of a new business is the time it will take to start bringing in the money.

Also, rumours go fast within interest-oriented Internet communities. Once the word get out your company is filling a special need unique to this precise group, word of mouth will propel your product through all corners of the Internet.

So just how do you define your niche market?

1. Profile your user: What are his characteristics? What are his dominant emotions? Put yourself in his shoes and see if you can think like him.

2. After you know who he is, you need to know where to find him. Does he frequent specific web sites? Which newsletters does he read? If you can’t find any discussion board that share the same interest as your market, maybe you can create one.

3. Finally, you need to circulate your message and expose your brand. You can rent ads in a newsletter, or become a regular contributor on a discussion board. You can also offer free samples of your product. In other words, show who you are, and what you can do for them.

The next time you will be thinking about launching your next business, aim for a big chunk of a small market, instead of the opposite. Your customers will reward you for it.

Direct Marketing

Direct Marketing


If one of human’s biggest mistakes is failing from learning from the past, the same applies to marketing. With the Internet changing the way we look at selling your product, you have to resist the excitement created by the new technologies and forget what matters to your business: whether your prospects are buying your products. So before your grandfather starts his monologue by saying ‘’when I was your age’’, let’s take a brief look at direct marketing and what it can do for your online business.

According to Wilkipedia, Direct marketing is a discipline within marketing that involves the planned recording, analysis and tracking of individual customers' (business-to-business or consumer) responses and transactions for the purpose of developing and prolonging mutually profitable customer relationships. In simple terms, it means gathering as much information as possible about your audience: What do they want? What is their age group? Do they share the same hobby? When you compile as much data as possible from your audience, you start to create a personal bond. When that bond is solid enough, it’s almost a slam dunk to make the sale.

One of the biggest mistakes of today’s online marketers is not using what has been proved to work. The Internet might be a revolutionary channel of information, but the human’s genes were not scientifically modified with its arrival. The presentation might have changed, but the content remains the same: we buy on emotion then rationalize our decisions. Why change the magic formula with a lengthy flash introduction or unreadable fonts?

All of this is interesting, you say, but what about my internet business? How can I run a direct marketing campaign through my website? Well, you can run a direct marketing campaign in three easy steps:

1- Start to collect every particle of information about your prospect. Looks at the logs on your website. Does your traffic always visit the same link? What do they click? You can also ask your visitors to participate in a online survey and ask specific demographic questions, or see if they respond to certain promotions.

2- Now you need to analyze the data. Did he buy from you in the past? If so, what did he like / dislike about the product you are selling? What would he change if he had the chance? Put yourself in his shoes, and try thinking like he does.

3- Finally, you need to adjust your website’s sales message to reflect your prospect’s different emotions, mix them together, and integrate them on your web site. If your survey revealed that a particular benefit of your product came out on top in your survey, imagine how much sales can be increased by focusing your copy on that specific benefit?

As a recap, direct marketing is the science of finding as much as possible about your prospect, then using that information to adjust and personalize your sales message. It is all about forging that personal bond.

i need your help

If you're at all serious about making money with your own online business, then it is essential that you carefully consider the deal I want to make with you today...

My good friend Derek Gehl has publicly released the newest edition of his famous "Insider Secrets" online wealth-generating system... and I was wondering if you would mind testing it?

You see, I'm considering partnering with Derek (he and his team have made over $54.7 Million in online sales, and he really *gets* how to be successful selling almost anything using the Internet) -- but before I team up with Derek, I want to make absolutely SURE his system will work for my customers and subscribers.

So here's what I'm proposing:

I've worked out a deal with Derek, and he will ship you (via Federal Express) a 10 lb. box.

In this box you'll find 2 DVDs, 6 resource CDs, 2 guidebooks, and 2 thick binders containing in excess of 1,385 pages explaining the step-by-step instructions on how to start and grow a wildly profitable Internet business.

All I'm asking you to do is follow the instructions. If you do this, one of two things will happen:

The system will work for you, and you'll start living the dream of "passive" income with your very own Internet business.

You'll be literally making money while you sleep!

OR:

The system won't work for you. If this happens, Derek will personally write you a check for $200 as our way of apologizing for wasting your time.

In other words, the absolute WORST thing that can happen if you take us up on this is that you'll come out $200 ahead!

The best case scenario is something far, far more exciting...

...luxury vacations, new cars for you and your family, paying off your mortgage... It's up to you!

All you need to do today is tell Derek where to send your package by clicking the link below:

All the best,

Steven Smart

P.S. By the way -- do you want to meet a few of the people who are *already* using Derek's system?

-- Rory M. from Ireland made over $1,000,000 last year selling a VERY strange gizmo from his simple little web site. (I still don't understand exactly what it does!)

-- Barbara J. is making a steady $8,500 a month telling people how to rearrange their old furniture. (She's a 60-year-old grandmother, and she works LESS than 1 lousy hour a day!)

-- Chris E. must be the envy of his Australian surfer buddies down at the beach... He makes over $200,000 a year working about 9 hours per week. Not bad for a 23-year-old kid!
