BRAND NEW audio - 10 Ways eBay STILL works

I received quite a few responses on my last email about eBay Live 08. A few posted their comments here on the blog and many others sent me their thoughts in email.

To be honest, those who are unhappy with eBay were the most vocal. I would have loved to see more public comments on the blog from those of you who still believe eBay is an excellent opportunity.

I received this email from Jim Cockrum shortly after I sent out my last email and I asked him if it would be okay for me to share it with you. I have the highest respect for Jim, his ebooks and his membership site. He not only overdelivers, but he's a Christian man with integrity...which goes a long way in my book.

Below is the email he sent to his list...

BRAND NEW audio - 10 Ways eBay STILL works

Even though eBay Live 2008 was a bit boring...

The fact is that many people I know and met at eBay Live 2008 (just last weekend) continue to do very well on eBay and I wanted to share some specifics with you about EXACTLY what they are doing to consistently do $5, $10 or even $20,000 every month on eBay.

Even though eBay has made some major changes lately there is actually some good news for us
as online entrepreneurs.

I have no loyalty to eBay, but the fact is now is not the time to walk away. If you are willing to listen to some very creative ideas that simply WORK then I have a treat for you...

I've just finished a recording I want you to hear that is all about:

  • Success with digital products on eBay. Now it's better than ever and I'll tell you why
  • Insane results with public domain products on eBay
  • Some specific products ANYONE can find locally to sell at huge markups
  • How to find tons of experts to interview and turn the recordings into in demand info-products ON AUTOPILOT
  • The best approach to finding wholesale deals
  • Some common traps that don't work but many people think they do still

...and more stuff you'll love.

It's a jam packed 30 minutes!

I plan to sell this recording on CD, but for now it's posted for you as a permanent addition to the RESOURCE PAGE of SilentSalesMachine.com. Buy the book and you get access to ALL the resources there (it's one of the first links in the book on the first page).

To be clear...

I'm GIVING IT AWAY to all new and past customers.

This new recording will fill you in on several ideas that work NOW on eBay.

To get the recording you need to either purchase my book sold only at:

--> http://www.silentsalesmachine.com
(the new version is now going out with each order)

...or log into your My Silent Team account at:
--> http://www.mysilentteam.com

... because I've posted it there as well.

Don't forget that we are updating the sales page very soon and when we do the price will go up. Use the OLD sales page NOW and get the NEW book at the OLD SALES PAGE price.

Talk to you soon-
Jim Cockrum

P.S. When I start selling this product I'm going to title it "10 strategies to pull $5, $10 or $20,000 monthly off eBay"...but I want to give it to you today as a thank you for your loyalty.

eBay LIVE 08 .... or was it eBay DEAD?

eBay LIVE 08?

or ... eBay Coma ... eBay Dead ... eBay Wake...?

(...these are all terms I've read from people who attended)

First off, let me start by saying that I have only been to one eBay Live and that was in Orlando in 2003. I remember it was crazy crowded, standing room only at many of the classes, lots of exhibitors, sellers, buyers and eBay employees. It was exciting, entertaining, informative, educational, exhausting and fun.

I've tried to find statistics for each year, but I've been able to come up with solid numbers to share with you. There were 10,000 people there in 2003. From what I understand, each year those numbers have declined. However, from what I can tell from all accounts of this years eBay Live as well as previous years, the numbers were considerably lower. I've read the number of vendors was about half and the number of attendees was at least down about 25-30% (maybe more).

Although I didn't attend the conference, I have been reading all the blog entries, watching the videos, reading the tweets and news articles from everyone from eBay employees, pro-eBayers as well as those who are terribly upset with eBay.... trying to get a feel of what it was like this year.

The truth is, pretty much everything I read has expressed some disappointment in eBay Live 08. Some of what I have read was nothing but negative. Photos and videos showed nearly empty classes, few people on the exhibition floor, reported no lines for registration, etc. When I went in '03, as I said, it was crazy crowded and there were long lines for everything. The vendor floor was always busy and it was hard to get to most of the popular counters. This apparently was not the case this year.

Next years eBay Live 09 was already canceled and it makes me wonder if eBay Live 10 will happen or not.

To be fair, I have included several links below if you care to read or watch some of what is out there about eBay Live 08, so if you didn't go, you can form your own opinion.


I would love to hear from any of you who went to eBay Live 08 (or previous years) who would like to express your opinions.... positive or negative.

  • Do you think eBay is on the decline and will some day lose it's status as the #1 online auction site because of all the changes they keep implementing?
  • Do you feel eBay is unfair and catering to certain sellers and businesses?
  • Do you feel no matter what, eBay is still a viable place to make good money online?
Leave your comments below.

Thanks,

Robbin

The Whole Sale is now open

It's finally here.

Today you'll get the 6th and final video in the 'Beat the Recession with eCommerce' series by Worldwide Brands.

You can view it here: http://offto.net/ti5wht

In this video, you'll see why the members of the Worldwide Brands community are among the most successful eBiz owners on the internet.

And you'll finally get a chance to take a look at a new educational product that I'm very excited about.

These past few weeks, you've seen the free videos by Worldwide Brands in the 'Beat the Recession with eCommerce' series.

So you know what kind of 'top-notch' material they produce. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

They've spent the past 12 months creating new videos, tools and resources to grow your internet business. Way more than what could fit in a single video series.

Worldwide Brands took every single trick, technique and strategy they've learned in the past 8 years and poured it into something that will have a major impact on your business.

It's called 'The Whole Sale'.

Click here to see it: http://offto.net/ti5wht

It cost over a quarter of a million dollars to produce and it's literally an encyclopedia of product sourcing information. There is nothing like it currently available.

If there was one resource I would say is 'absolutely vital' for your internet business, it would be 'The Whole Sale'.

Here's why:

The two main questions everyone always asks is 'what do I sell and where do I get it'.

'The Whole Sale' answers those questions and more from the #1 provider of product sourcing information online.

Here's what you'll get with 'The Whole Sale':

1. 19 Separate eBiz and Product Sourcing Video Courses

The video courses will walk you though step-by-step how to build real internet profits. It covers everything they've learned the past 8 years working working with thousands of wholesale suppliers and eCommerce business owners.

2. 19 Comprehensive Online Workbooks

The workbooks expand each of the subjects covered on the videos in much greater detail.

Each of the courses have real world exercises and interactive self testing modules, so you'll be able to see exactly what you've learned and what you need to review.

3. Worldwide Brands' eCommerce Insider Report

The world of eCommerce is always changing. So they teamed up with the research giant, Forrester Research, to bring you this ongoing report. Every single issue is jam-packed with specific, targeted information you can use to grow your online business.

This report will give you insights on eCommerce and consumer behavior that 99% of your competitors will never have. It's a huge unfair advantage for you in any marketplace you enter.

4. Worldwide Brands eCommerce Industry Forum

In this forum, you'll be able to ask questions and get answers from the real experts, that are specific to your business. This is the personal access that is rare online.

Plus, they have a large collection of extra bonus material that you'll get when you buy 'The Whole Sale', including a special bonus from Amazon.com

Worldwide Brands has partnered with Amazon to give you 2 FREE months of 'Selling on Amazon' services. This alone is worth $79.98 and will allow you to expose your products to Amazon's millions of buyers.

You also get liquidation deals from two of America's largest B2B liquidation suppliers and inventory specials that are only available to 'The Whole Sale' owners.

Just one of these special deals could easily pay for 'The Whole Sale' many times over.

All in all, it's one impressive package and I believe it will be the #1 key resource that can get you going if you don't already have an online business or improve your current internet business dramatically.

You'll be able to get 'The Whole Sale' at a discounted price today.

But, you must move fast because in addition to the other bonuses I just mentioned, we have some incredible fast action bonuses lined up for the first 125 people who purchase.

Listen, I know you've seen $1000 and up product launches in the past few months. This is not one of those.

The 'Whole Sale' is way less than one thousand dollars, even though they could have easily charged that much and more and it would still be well worth the price.

I think you'll agree, that with everything you get with 'The Whole Sale', this will be one of the biggest bargains you'll see all year.

Let me know what you think.

http://offto.net/ti5wht

Thanks and I'll talk to you soon.

Robbin K. Tungett


P.S. - 'The Whole Sale' is not a static one-time Education. Worldwide Brands will constantly add more videos, more interviews with experts, more interviews with eBiz owners and more special reports. This company always over delivers in every single product they produce. 'The Whole Sale' will grow in value for years to come and it'll help you stay ahead of your eCommerce competitors.

Is the recession affecting your online business?

It's official...

We're knee deep in a recession.

The job market is shaky. The mortgage meltdown is causing thousands of people to lose their homes. Gas prices are insane and continue to creep up.

Turn on the news and you'll hear about it all day.

But hidden in all of the ' doom and gloom ' is something that few people are talking about. Even though we're in the middle of a recession, a lot of savvy eBiz owners have not only survived this economic downturn, they thrived in it.

How did they do it?

Well, that's exactly what you're going to discover in a series of FREE videos, audio interviews and special reports in the upcoming weeks.

http://tinyurl.com/662mkc

A few weeks ago, a company that I have a lot of respect for, Worldwide Brands, sent out a survey to their customer list and asked what their main concerns were.

Almost 75% of them said they were worried about how the recession will affect their business.

So, Worldwide Brands went to work and created videos, audios, and tutorials to show their customers what they needed to do to grow their online business in troubled times.

Initially, this content was only available to their customers, but for the next few days you can get access to it for free.

You'll get case studies, free tutorials, audio interviews, and free videos showing you exactly what you need to do to take your online business to the next level no matter what the economy looks like.

Click here to watch the first video and sign up for their in-depth video series.

http://tinyurl.com/662mkc

Trust me when I say this, they can easily charge a lot of money for this information. Worldwide Brands is the world's largest provider of wholesalers and drop ship companies pre-qualified to work with small business owners.

They know what they're talking about and this is insider information you can't get anywhere else.

So sign up to get all of this valuable content for free, before it's gone:
