Product Review – Online Automated Income

Hi,

This weeks Product Review comes via Amanda O’ Brien. You may remember I did a review on her book the other week. Well this book I found when I was doing some research on her site.  Now before I start with the review I would like to point out, I was not paid to do this and all the links are straight to the site, they are not affiliate links.

That should say something to start with, when some takes the time to do a review and not get any credit for it. So lets get going.

Online Automated Income is a hard copy book, it comes through the post in a strong jiffy bag, and is well protected. The size is A4 and is 140 single sided pages, so well worth the money.

Another thing why I like it when it comes single sided printed is the fact that you can make notes on the left hand page, this lets you keep ideas and other bits of information all together.

Online Automated Income takes you by the hand and shows you with the written word and pictures and charts how to build these simple but powerful Income streams.

When you go over to the sales letter you even see samples of the sites they use to make this money everyday, plus they include a YouTube video of their PayPal account. You can watch this video below.

ol2

Below is a screen capture from their sales letter which you can find at http://www.OnlineAutomatedIncome.co.uk

ol3

I have had the manual for a few days now,and have read through it a few times. From what I have seen and read, this is a great business for people to start and you can start with very little money, and a few spare hours a day.

But the proof is in the pudding as they say, Yes it reads well, yes the ideas work, yes it works in the UK and Europe, the book is British.
Yes I know of the people who sell the book and they are to be trusted and they are also well respected eBay sellers and trainers, so they would not sell something underhand.

But for you my readers, I am goind to build some of these sites and try some of the ideas and keep you up to date on how they go. Remember you can buy book after book, course after course, but until you take action, massive action nothing will happen and this time next year will you be saying I still am broke or will you be selling I earn a good income from internet marketing. I hope you will be making good incomes.

So go and take a look at the sales letter today over at http://www.OnlineAutomatedIncome.co.uk

Happy Selling

Increase Sales Over Night

Increase Sales Over Night

Well a strong bold title Increase Sales Over Night, and yes it can be done, but you need to put some simple but for some people hard things into place.

Who reads the weekend papers , the best ones are the Sunday papers with all their added sections and the colour magazines ?

Ladies how many of you read Woman’s Magazines ?

Gents how many read lad mens magazines (And no not the top shelf ones)

And if you don’t please start to, they are full of ideas for items to sell. But that is another topic for another day as they say.

Something else I want you to do is start to keep all your junk mail – why , well for know just do it please.

Now cast your mind back, when was the last time you bought something through the mail……… either a real product or an information product.

For this example let us say it has some face cream, in the advert it said within 14 days you would look years younger etc etc. It looked good, the results read well, the price well was good. But at the back of your mind you thought what if it did not work I would loose $50.00.

You saw this cool gadget in a mens mag, that made your muscles grow and make you look fit, so all the girls wanted to go out with you. It looked good, the price was Ok, ……………. But again what if it did not work you would loose $100.00.

But there it is………………………………  In black and white………………………. (or colour)  something that made you reach for your credit card in seconds.  No not buy in 10 seconds and it is free.

A money back guarantee, no questions asked.

How many people in your niche use it ?   Guess not many.

Now please listen careful, and I hope this is you. This guarantee will only work if you are a honest eBayer or online seller. You only tell the truth and you do not sell rubbish and rip people off.
Now if you are one of these bad guys if yuo do it, you will be out of buisness in days………….. Sorry but thats the truth.

Right lets get back to the honest sellers of which 99.9% are.

A lot of people will look at your auction, buy it now and think yes I would love that product, but what if it does not work, what if I cannot use the cream etc.

Then their eyes catch that no questions asked guarantee, and they hit that buy it now button then and there. The reason is you have removed all the barriers.

Now as I said if you sell poor products, then you will be hit with refunds. But if you are a normal seller, selling great products then you will see an Increase in sales overNight.

And guess what your sales will go up and up but you will only get a tiny number of refunds.

A girl I know who works in direct response and sells a report on how to look good when going out clubbing did a test.

1)  Letter one went out, with no guarantee  and the price £20.00 she sold 1 in 100

2) Letter two went out, with no questions asked guarantee and the price £20.00 she sold 45 in 100. And she only had two refunds.

Go on give it a go, and see if your sales increase.

Happy Selling
Andrew

How to Use Marketing Calenders

How To Use Marketing Calenders

 

As your business grows, you will start to need to take a serious look at how you market you growing buisness and in some cases you growing businesses. If you are like me, I guess you just thought about about doing it and did it, and the word marketing calender did not cross your mind.

That will work but after a bit you may forget what you should be doing on a day or a week, or month, so use a Marketing Calender.

Now your marketing calender could be written in a dairy, a sheet of paper, a filofax etc. I have choosen to do mine on Google Calanders. If yuo do this you put it down as an all day event so that it appears at the of each day.

For my blog I have split the week up into six days – a blog post for each day, and this allows me a sunday as a catch up day – (Which I will need this week as I have had several meetings outside of my home office that took up 16 hours a day)

Does this mean I will stick to each days themes – YES this helps me and my customers.

Does it mean I cannot blog about other things – NO of course I can add other posts as and when the need arises.

Also on the Marketing Calender will be important dates that need a special blog posting. Also when I need to write that review, that ezine article.

Once you have worked on it and stick to it, you will wonder how you ever managed without one.

Hope this has helped you. Once I have mastered the art of screen capture video I will do a video and post it to show how you can set up a Marketing Calender in Google Calenders.

Product Review – “£2,500 per week from eBay”

The £2,500 Per Week eBay
Powerseller Secrets

This is a great title for a great book. The book “The £2,500 Per Week eBay Powerseller Secrets” is a book I bought for myself, with my own money. I invested some of my hard earned ebay money (I would suggest to everyone reading this blog to take some of your money and invest it in your education – not so I can earn commission, so you can learn more and make more).

Anyway I waited a few days and through the post came this large A4 bound book called “The £2,500 Per week eBay Powerseller Secrets” and I can tell you from the time I open the book until I finished the last page I was hooked.

Amanda O' Brien The book has been written by Amanda O’ Brien a young lady who has and is active in the world of eBay, you are not reading some words written by a person who has never heard of eBay or e-commerce.

Amanda is writing from her daily expierience of selling on eBay, from her product sourcing ideas and tips, write through to who to cope with a growing business.

The £2,500 Per Week eBay Powerseller Secrets, is an open and honest approach to selling on eBay and has the advantage that it is written by an active eBay Powerseller and eBay Education Specialist.

The book is split into easy to read sections and takes you from not having an eBay account and a PayPal account right through to how to set up outside photo Sourcing.

Amanda even gives you two of the product sources she uses, (and the “gift”) of these two companies is well worth the price you pay for the book, people would pay loads more just to get the names and address of these two product sources.

ebaycover4

If you want to take that next step into your eBay selling or have never taken the first few baby steps then this book will help you.

The £2,500 per week ebay Powersellers secrets will educate you, entertain you, and move your business onto the next level.

But with everything there is a cost (and not the small cost of this 140+ page book), you will need to take action. If you leave The £2,500 per week eBay Powerseller secrets gathering dust on your desk or shelf you will get no where and will have lost money.

But if you take the action steps that Amanda lays out for youin her book “The £2,500 per week ebay powerseller secrets” than you will stand a good chance of making a big go on eBay.
