Over the past few years I sold thousands of items
on eBay (all of them digital products) before I
discovered the idea I am going to share with you
in this blog post.

You can sell almost anything you want on ebay as
long as it is legal and not alive.

That includes selling ebooks and other digital
downloads.

I Bet you already knew that…

Am I really wasting my time here?

I dont think so! 

See, I talk with many of my thousands MyDD customers
on a daily basis and I found out that around 95% fail
to see the bigger picture.

Most of these people are satisfied making a few bucks
per ebook they sell on eBay.  I say satisfied because
they DONT know what I am about to share with you.

eBay is an excellent source of targetted traffic.
Traffic from eBay is very different than the traffic
from PPC and Google Adwords.

WHY?

Because people that browse on eBay are Looking to
BUY something, meaning they are customers.

People that browse Google are mostly looking for free
information.

Everywhere I look, people are eager to generate traffic
to their websites with the hope of making a few bucks.

Is traffic really the holy grail of a successful internet business?

If you answered yes, THINK AGAIN…

Traffic is a very important part of a successful website
BUT if you dont have the other parts in places, it will be
a waste of time and money!

In order for your traffic to actually worth anything, you
must do SOMETHING with it.

I call this “The Journey“. The marketing term for it is
“marketing funnel”.

In short, it is the FLOW of traffic to and through your business.
It involves capturing some of the traffic (lead generation)
and moving the leads through different stages in order to
increase their value (value of your lead = how much
money you make from  a lead during the life of their relationship
with you.)

For example:

• 1000 visitors go to your website (traffic)
• 500 of them optin for a newsletter (leads)
• 50 of them purchased a $100 product (customers)
• 25 of those 50 purchased an additional $500 item (leverage)
• 10 of the 25 purchased a coaching program for $5000 
  (more leverage)

Why is it that most people never make money online?

But I bet if I ask these people that dont make
money to tell me if they know the 3 basic elements of
making money, most of them (if not all) will say

“I knew that”…

(Of course they would say that, after I tell them the
3 elements)

The question here is, since they know, why is it
that they fail to generate money from their online business?

It is because they dont really understand how these
elements work together. 

As I promised on Monday, I put together a short report
that talks about these 3 elements and you can download
