Creative eBay Selling Newsletter 8-20-2010

1. What is your business legacy? We are all familiar with the concept of a "family legacy", but how often do you apply this to your business thinking? What "story" are you weaving with your business efforts? How will "they" sum up your entrepreneurial career once you've moved on? Will your kids be proud of the story? Are you someone to be emulated in business? If not, stop making excuses for your bad decisions and start building something worth passing on. We live in the greatest era of business opportunity the world has ever seen (thanks to the Internet). There is no excuse for building a negative legacy in business. What is the only true test of your legacy? This question: In what way do you treat those around you (not just paying customers) with the utmost of care and respect? The honest answer to that question is your legacy. On August 20th this article will be posted on my blog as the most recent newsletter. Stop by and leave me a comment if you agree or disagree! 2. Sell Used Books on eBay, Half.com and Amazon! One of the steadiest niche markets to get into for years has been the used books niche. I'm talking about "real" books (not ebooks). Get the full brand new article "hot off the press" on my blog: http://www.jimcockrum.com/blog/?p=554 That blog post also includes info on a new bonus about selling used books that we've just added to MySilentTeam.com.
3. Quick Tips Affiliate marketing demystified I sent you an email a few days ago about the affiliate training videos temporarily being hosted on this site: http://www.MySilentTeam.com/AffiliateTraining.html Yes, I will get affiliate credit if you go on to buy this soon to launch course, but PLEASE don't skip this fantastic (and entertaining) content just because they offer a launch at the end! The trend right now (it's a great trend for us!) on many of the "big launches" is to GIVE AWAY a bunch of really high quality info as part of the "pre-launch" hype fest. I've never done one of those, but they are fun to watch! In this case though much of the content is coming from an upcoming expert and very successful guy (Chris Ferrel) that I have a lot of respect for in the industry. We just swapped cell phone numbers yesterday and plan to do some work together very soon. He's top notch. Even if you DON'T buy the course you should take advantage of these great lessons and insights into "affiliate marketing" done correctly. No More Long Ugly URL's! You don't have to settle for a long ugly URL for your eBay store, your blog, an Etsy store, or even your Network Marketing business. If you want to send people to ANY website you need to get an easy to remember, hard to misspell domain name and simply set up "domain forwarding". Even a total techno doof like me can buy a cheap, pretty looking domain name and make it "point" to any website. It's about 10 minutes of work (if you take your time) and you are done forever. I just did this for my wife's brand new Etsy store and made a video of the process for you - enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mZCbeeSsgg The top coaching team on the web There are times when "doing it yourself" makes sense, but there are also times when the options, new skill requirements, questions and confusion feels a bit overwhelming. There are also times when you just feel "stuck" even if you are succeeding. In either case I have a team of coaches that are hand picked and AMAZING. Working with them WILL turn your online business in the right direction. We don't teach "pie in the sky". We teach stuff that works and we create success stories. My eBay coaches are all eBay powersellers or run their own successful online businesses. We don't read a "script" when coaching - it's customized to YOU. I've had the same director of coaching for nearly 5 years. I don't allow high pressure sales. We only coach those that are ready to be coached. We get results. Please ask us your "hard" questions before you get into coaching. Talk to my coaching team today: 1-800-578-3449 After seven years of offering high end coaching online I'm still ranked as the number one most trusted marketer online. That should tell you something. When you are ready to get serious give us a call.
