1. Gratitude and Inspiration

I love telling you about the creative and inspirational people I get to work with!Here are three that have been amazing me lately with what they are up to:

1. Nancy Alexander of LadyBugWreaths.net is currently putting together a high profile Internet promotion with all proceeds going to support an orphanage in Guatemala. This particular orphanage is run by a good friend of my wife and mine who is also the adoption coordinator that helped us get our gorgeous daughter home from Guatemala three years ago. Get the full story on Nancy's most recent blog post: http://nancysramblings.com/

2. Kevin Ramsby is working daily in the inner city of Detroit inspiring people that desperately need hope. We are using proceeds from my 101freemarketing.com book to help support budding young entrepreneurs. His website is HopeVillageDetroit.com

3. Michael and Susan Whitehead recently moved their entire family (5 kids) from the U.S. to Costa Rica and dropped me an email saying thanks for helping them find creative income streams that made it possible. That's inspirational! Best wishes on your continued success guys! Here's a blog post Susan put up hours after landing in their new home:

2. Amazon or eBay? The debate continues...

As you may already know, the price on the ProvenAmazonCourse.com has just been cut in half temporarily.

Here's what one recent student of the PAC had to say on youtube:

The forum we set up for those selling on Amazon is going crazy with activity as well.

Going back just a couple months here is a blog post I wrote about the biggest reason why I think Amazon.com now has an advantage over eBay for many types of products:

Note: I'm still selling on eBay because they are still better for many types of items, but you can't afford to ignore Amazon! Join the discussion on my blog.

3. Quick Tips

• Quick Tip 1

Longer titles on eBay!

On September 1st, 2011 eBay is changing the number of characters you can use in your listing titles. It's going from 55 characters to 80. TIP: Fill the extra space with keywords that shoppers are likely to use. Extra characters such as "!" , "L@@K" etc. and words like "wow", "amazing", or "special" are a waste of space. Instead, use great keywords that shoppers are likely to type into the eBay search box.

• Quick Tip 2

The ONLY Way to Rank High on Google Long Term

A short, sweet, and very clear blog post on the topic of getting a website ranked high on Google.

Thank You For Balancing Your Knocks On eBay., September 4, 2011

By kenfromga - See all my comments    

Jim:

Thank you for not forgetting there is a time and place for eBay. For a time there I was getting the impression that you had completely sold eBay out so you could make some good money on PAC. I agree that Amazon works very well and definitely better for certain products, but their fees are far from cheap and unless you are selling big margin items I think they stink (only a personal position).
