There's never been a time in history when we're more bombarded with advertising than now. Everywhere we turn we're confronted with a marketing message in some form or another, assaulting our eyes, ears and in some cases our noses (think of the perfume scented pages of many lifestyle magazines).
The downside from an advertiser's ... Read more

So, I was just looking at my financial statements for this last moth in an eBay business I have. What I saw was a thing a beauty.
First, I'll say that this particular eBay business has 4 income streams built within it: (1) sales from eBay, (2) backend sales of a high priced info product to current customers. (3) joint venture deals. And (4) affiliate sales through my email list to past customers. It's the last one that I notice a change on. The first two income streams make up the bulk of my business. Backend sales to current customers made up over 40% of my income until now. Affiliate sales to my email list have done something fantastic! I believe it has hit a critical mass. What the heck does that man? Well, it has hit a point that i make more in a week pitching other people's products then i do selling my front as end products! Since day one in this internet business world I have heard, “ the money is in the list”. I trusted that wisdom and followed it from the start, but until recently it was still mostly theory! Sure, i get the majority of my backend sales through sending offers though my email list, but now the affiliate aspect of business has caught up. I now make over 75% of my income, in this one business, solely from my email list! In case it isn't obvious, here is what that means; If you dont add your eBay customer names and email to an autoresponder system you could be LOSING OVER 75% of your potential income. So each week I add several more emails to my autorespoder series. To date I have over 80 emails that go out to my customer that comes int my autoresponder series. when I am looking around for something to pitch in my emails, the first place I go is Clickbank. I then go Promote Products, then Marketplace. I then search of products within the categories that closely match my products. Nearly all the products I find on Clickbank have tools for affiliate like prewritten emails that you can send out to your list All you have to do is add your name and affiliate link, which they simply give you. You add that email to your autoresponder list and away to go.
I've never been a fan of number crunching or compiling data, in fact that's putting it mildly. Truth is it makes me shudder just thinking about it, but I've come to realize that whether I like it or not is irrelevant. Research d... Luci and I were at Disney World in Florida a couple of months ago and we had a meal at ‘The Rainforest Cafe' a themed restaurant that's popular with families. It's very similar to Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Café, in that ther... It took me awhile to come to terms with the fact that many people are willing to pay what you and I probably consider to be outrageous sums of money for a product or service when they want the premium or very best you can offer.... Last week I stayed in two hotels in the same city. Both hotels were similarly priced (not cheap) and both were well known, international brands. Beyond that, they couldn't have been more different.
The first hotel had unfrien... A.L.O. is a term I coined (deliberately similar in style to S.E.O.) which stands for ‘Auction Listing Optimization'. It can be defined as ANYTHING you can do within the eBay environment that increases the number of buyers, or th... Imagine if you could tap into the minds of buyers and discover what they want, but have been unable to find on eBay. Well, you can do exactly that with the ‘Want It Now' sub-section of eBay. Any eBay member can list a request in...
