Complementing your online BUSINESS

It is safe to assume that there is now a recognition that ebay is a superb marketing engine as much as it is a great site to sell stuff.
This is because of the appreciation to attract more customers to your sites and build the “subscriber list”.

Key elements to SUCCESS!

This leads me on to mentioning the growing importance of
Social Media. Ignore it at your peril.

Ok – it’s another mind-boggling task to do to ensure that you gain maximum exposure with your clients, but unfortunately the need to “get your HEAD around SOCIAL MEDIA” is increasing.

If your recall, at the beginning of the Auction Money Generator program I mentioned the importance of running the tools and techniques in parallel.
Well adopting a Social Media strategy at the beginning of your journey, will inevitably pay dividends later on.

For example,

• Consider the benefit of using the Facebook Group (part of Social Media);
• Consider the techniques that you have experienced within this program.

My objective is to build a relationship with all my customers and strive to add value to their businesses and one of the tools applied to achieve this, of course is Social Media.

This is why I introduce you to the Social Media Spider’s Web. The product is beautifully crafted and comes with some excellent training videos.

The promotion of Auction Money Generator is one week old.

… and what a week it has been. Where do I start?

Firstly, I have to thank the joint venture partners for their efforts and support in making this promotion a success.
… and of course to my mentor John Thornhill. The Partnership to Success program has been one of my better investments.
Every week, without fail, John has provided essential content that has enabled me to progress with my projects and knowledge of Internet Marketing.
If I were to use a metaphore, the PTS is a key to the Internet Door of Opportunity. I have learnt so much.

The success of Auction Money Generator is exciting and stimulates my desire to deliver version 2.

From scratch: The Members’ site now has nearly 1000 members, 100 in the Facebook Group and orders are still coming in. The feedback has been fantastic – really flattering – only one irritating fact (have had 3 refunds so far, and their reasoning seems bizarre – still trying to understand the logic) – c’est la vie.

In summary, it’s been a fun week.

What a few days it has been?

This week has been an education – to put it mildly. Having spent 12 months refining a product and feeling comfortable that everything is in place, something had to go wrong.

Well, overall (SO FAR) things have gone well. There have been a few things that could have been better, but the testing and training from the Partnership to Success program minimised the risk of disaster.

The most striking thing of note is that the back-end automation has to be in place. With so many people to manage (i.e. new members) it means that you cannot send out individual mails, without an autoresponder.

Also make sure the Ticket Desk works – because it doesn’t matter what you so, you will receive support tickets.

…. and above all keep your affiliate partners informed.

For me, John Thornhill taught me how to build a JVBlog and Leader Board. So many partners were interested to see where they featured on the board. You’ll also notice that the JVBlog has a stack of support tools to make the sale easier:

Day 1:

What happened? well, quite simply – overwhelmed and flattered by the response. 
I am delighted by the support I have received from fellow Internet Marketers and now new customers.
I feel privileged to be part of the Partnership to Success program.

Hats off to John Thornhill – simple. I have learnt so much from his training.

Crikey – the LAUNCH DATE has finally arrived (or nearly)

The Auction Money Generator is ready and will be launched tomorrow. After 12 months of pouring my heart into this product, I can only hope now that the MASSES out there appreciate the effort that has gone into this product.

Finding the right stock – that SELLS

One of the main challenges for any retailer is to source the right stock, THAT SELLS, whether off or on the web.
This basic requirement has been with us since man first step foot on this planet.

SUPPLY and DEMAND rules!

So HOW do we find out what SELLS and what does NOT? Making wrong decisions on your purchases can be a financial disaster.

The first piece of advice that can be offered is to source products that “FEED” a particular niche. As some marketers would say;
“Go DEEP rather than BROAD”.

In other words, become known for supplying great quality products meeting the needs of a specialised HUNGRY market, rather than trying to sell anything to anyone.

The immediate benefits for you are:

• Less competition;
• Greater margin;
• Increase in loyalty base, creating more return customers.

It was for this reason I wanted to review the work of some of the leading POWERSELLERS and find out what they had to say about this topical subject.

I turned to Skip McGrath, a well known ebay/Internet Marketer on both sides of the Atlantic.

First, a little about Skip McGrath

Skip and his wife Karen ventured into ebay way back in 1997 having moved west from New York. In a year they had grown their ebay business averaging $10,000 per month. An amazing achievement. As Skip was about to invest in another eBook on ebay, Karen pointed out that between them they knew more about ebay than most of the existing “How to Guides” available at the time and suggested that Skip create his own.

Skip took his wife’s advice and wrote “the ebay Powersellers manual”. That was back in 1998/9.

Fast forward: today, Skip is a leading authority on ebay, with over 35,000 subscribers signing-up to one of the most comprehensive information sites on ebay. His web-site is now regarded as one of the most informative sites on ebay, available today.

The particular piece of work I was interested in was Skip’s book on:

 “Ten little known highly profitable niche businesses hiding in ebay UK”

The book is concise but informative and offers sound advice on each of the 10 niches. Even as an experience ‘ebayer’,  I learnt a great deal from this book, especially in areas on how to approach a new niche market. So many ideas, suggestions and written in a frank and simple English format.

The book also introduces the reader to numerous tools that can help crystalise your decision, before spending money on your next stock.

I will be applying many of the suggestions raised before I buy my next stock.

In summary: An excellent source of information for a small investment that is very relevant to the UK market.

Product review:

I had the opportunity to review Nonstopinterest, created by two well-known Internet Marketers, Lisa Hernandez and Chris Shaw.

The product’s obejctive, so I was told was to show its readers how to capitalise on the phenomenon of PINTEREST. I was interested at the outset, as there has been a lot of hype banded around this new SOCIAL NETWORK, but I had limited knowledge.

Is Pinterest like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN etc. I thought?

I was hoping that Chris’s and Lisa’s product would enlighten me.

In simple terms, it did. Their eBook that is accessible from within the ‘Nonstopinterest Members’ area’ is clear, concise and informative. It starts by showing you the basics (ideal for a beginner). It then moves onto more sophisticated areas, making great suggestions on how one can attract traffic to BUSINESS sites, using Pinterest. It was this section that benefited my business.

In summary: Nonstopinterest in a solid investment.

With the launch of Auction Money Generator, it is always handy to keep abreast of ebay‘s policies and ‘How-to Guides‘, especially if you are unfamiliar with this great internet site.

Check out the Sellers Central link here to get simple straight forward advice, even if you are a Top Rated seller, it’s worth a click.

There has been so much hype about Pinterest. It’s a social network like any other isn’t it?

Some may differ with this point of view. The site has certainly grown in interest with women (between 25-40) especially in North America. When you see what Pinterest is about, it is easy to understand why. The site is so VISUAL, so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. In short, it’s beautiful.

By the very nature of its design, it stands out as a SUPER CREATIVE web site…. and it is so easy to use.

In November 2012, Pinterest decided to open their site to BUSINESS Users. Great news for any aspiring online retailer. With this news in mind, I contacted a couple of good friends of mine. They also happen to be experts in PINTEREST, having recently created the highly acclaimed ‘NonStopInterest‘ product – click here to see what I mean – it’s so informative.

It made perfect sense to collaborate with our knowledge and provide a module where our members can capitalise:

• Firstly, on the monolith of ebay; and
• Secondly,adding the extra spice with Pinterest

Check out the supplementary module in the Gold Members’ area with the AuctionMoneyGenerator to learn how to attract more traffic to your web-sites and of course ebay listings. The Pin-it button can be such a wonderful tool.
