This post is about the new eBay change
in selling digital products in their marketplace.
Here is the related link:

My thoughts:
Ebay will do what they think benefits the majority
of their users. In this case they decided to crack
down on the “sneaky” sellers that abuse the feedback
system and YOU as the honest seller, are also affected.
Personally, I see this as a GREAT opportunity for
people that understand marketing to thrive.
It actually reminds me of 5-6 years ago when digital
products were actually selling for real money.
This policy will weed out the people that bring
YOUR prices down to almost nothing.
This is NOT the time to give up.
To the contrary, this is the time to see
the opportunity and take advantage of it.
I have been teaching my students for some
time now, to use ebay as a LEAD GENERATION
system and not necessarily to make profits
from the actual items sold through the auction.
The REAL money is the money you can make from
promoting more expensive and related items to
those leads.
You start by instantly upselling an item immediatly
after the ebay sale, and continue to promote to
that customer all the way down your marketing funnel.

Rumor has it that I fell off the
face of the earth!
Sorry to disappoint
Truth is, I spent the last couple
of days in bed sick. I am a lot
better today but here is the kicker:
Apparently being in bed, I didnt
really spend any time in front
of the computer (other than checking
my email on my laptop)
So…
I wake up saturday morning, turn
on my computer, and I logged into
my back office to check my sales…
Over $3209 in sales while I was
in bed sick for 2 days.
That is over 10 times more than
some people that I know make at
their full time job when they
actually SHOW UP!
All my sales come from the internet
and on AUTOPILOT which means wheather
I am there or not, sales will pour in.
And that, my friend, did not happen
by chance. I honestly worked hard
for it.
But
It ALL started with one thing
It ALL started on one single Place
It ALL came together with ONE Idea
It all started with Resell Rights products
on eBay and the idea of automating the
two.

Today’s Topic:
** Build your Email List
Automatically with MyDD
** 4 Profitable Ideas to
Put into Action Immediately
Starting with MyDD 3.1, (released
Dec 11, 2007), MyDD can also be
integrated with ANY autoresponder
service or mailing list software.
This means that your website or
ebay customer can be Automatically
added to your mailing list at the
time of their payment (while you
are out doing something else)
this is VERY powerful. In fact,
MyDD can add your customer to
a DIFFERENT mailing list Based on
the Product they purchased.
This way you can keep your lists
segmented so that you can do very
targeted promotions.
If you haven’t downloaded MyDD yet go here:

Here are some profit boosting ideas:
1. Find some affiliate programs
that are very targetted to the
digital products you sell on ebay
and create an autoresponder series
promoting the aff. programs.
MyDD will handle the “adding” to your
autoresponder so you can make
autopilot commissions
2. Using an autoresponder system, send
your customers more offers automatically
at regular intervals after they
purchase. (after 1 day, 3, days, 5 days
etc). Based on my tests, I get
over 18% conversions up to the 8th
time I send an email about the SAME
offer. dont leave money on the table.

I just witnessed the SIMPLEST
most innovative way of building a
large mailing list, get this…
…WITHOUT a SQUEEZE Page!
In fact, you give ANY product
away for free, or you Sell it
on eBay for cheap and voila…
Your list is on the Way
This is one of the most Viral
ways you can generate a massive
mailing list, by selling
resell rights products.
Let me explain how this works:
1. You have a product
(ANY Digital Product will work)
2. You run it through a “special”
software that LOCKS it with
a special CODE
3. You give it away or sell it OR
have others distribute it for you
by granting master resell rights
4. Everyone that gets a copy of the
software MUST enter their name
and email into YOUR autoresponder
in order to get an unlock code.
4. You sit back and watch your list Grow
(Seriously)
I used a Similar Method last year
that added over 1230 people to my
list by giving away ONE ebook
I strongly urge you to get yourself
a copy of this powerful software Today.
