What's the secret to making money on ebay?

The secret is getting good information and not all those Paypal screen captures from various "gurus" trying to peddle their latest get-rich-on-eBay-quick stuff. What you'll find if you do some digging is that many of screen captures are actually showing sales from their secret eBay business - which typically has nothing to do with what they're selling to you.

If you took a peek behind the curtain, I frankly think you'd be very surprised just how many Internet Marketers are supplementing their income with eBay. So if that's true, then why aren't more people getting rich on eBay? Well, like anything else in life, there is a 'bit' of a learning curve involved. To be successful on eBay, you'll have to weed through tons of misinformation to find out the real secrets to making money on a consistent basis. Most people simply don't have the time nor patience to do this.

Therefore, I've done the hard work for you. Check out this very informative book for yourself and start getting regular, weekly pay from eBay.

What's working for you online?

With regard to your online business, do you have any true idea what exactly is working for you (or what is not working for you) right now?  The answer, or rather the lack of being able to come up with that answer, may be the biggest reason that you are not having the success that you'd like to have.

Understanding exactly what is working, and then trying to improve it, is not the sexy part of building your business.  It's not necessarily 'fun'. No, everyone dreams of finding that sweet spot where everything just works like clock-work.  The problem is that, unless you are extremely lucky, that is not going to happen. Even some of the smartest marketers I know don’t get things perfect the first time.  What you don’t see is the constant changing, testing and tracking that is being done before that big product launch. It keeps happening even during the launch to increase the results.  All too often, that 'instant success' you're jealous of (and want to emulate) only came about on the 40th version of the process!

That's why most newbie Internet Marketers never get there, because…

1) They quit on try #3 or maybe never even tried a 2nd version (not that you would quit that quickly).
2) They never learned what was working and what was not.
3) They kept doing the same thing and expected a different result. (A true definition for insanity)
4) They didn't give it enough time to work.

If you're going to include a strong program like TrafficWave or Global NPN in your product launch (or market either one as a stand-alone affiliate program), you're going to want big numbers through viral action when it comes to enrollment.  That's going to require a well-thought-out promotion, lots of advertising, a strong JV partner and a lot of testing.  It's probably going to take money, too.  So figure out exactly what's working for you right now (even if it's only working a little!) and focus your mind and energy on refining and improving that.

Never stop learning and focus on what works, and you will have far greater success in the long run...

If I had to start over again...

Are you just getting stated?   In the beginning, I wish I had known all of the things that I know now about online business.  But you can't know everything when you're just beginning and you can't go back in time either.  Getting set-up and started with an online business is a great and exciting experience, but it's also incredibly difficult and frustrating for beginners - especially if they have little to no money to invest in their new business.  But if you truly want and expect to be a success online, then there are a few questions that you must ask yourself (about commitment) and some plans that you will need to make (i.e. realistic goals)... from the very beginning.

I remember what it was like to discover the world of Internet Marketing and be gripped with the possibility or working from home full-time.  But if I knew then what I know now, I would have chosen to do things a little differently than the way I went about things.  Like most of you, I wanted immediate results because I needed cash badly.  So I want at it hard & fast and non-stop.  It involved lots of reading, studying, late nights and so on.  You know the drill.  But it soon became obvious that I didn't have a clue about what Internet Marketing really is, much less business skills in general.  I was 'majoring in minors', and what little money I did earn was in no way justified by the time required to earn it.  Not only that, affiliate referrals that I worked so hard to recruit simply dropped like flies from my downlines.  My little 'successes' faded as quickly as I achieved them. In fact, my business was failing at a very fast pace and all of the amazing things I heard about running an online business were just not happening for me... at all.

But these days, things are going well and I continue to grow my established online income streams.  That's because I didn't quit during the darkest and most frustrating times.  I also learned not to 'major in minors'.  Online business works on the law of large numbers.  You have to think big, not small.  You need lots of websites, lots of traffic and lots and lots of automation.  Just remember that.  You need a whole LOT more of these things than you think you do when you're first starting out.

So if I had to start over again, knowing what I know now, I would first begin with a positive mental attitude and the knowledge that there isn't any 'fast, easy' money online.  But next, I would concentrate on automated systems that build websites, build opt-in contact lists and generate traffic.  I'm not going to try and sell you any such items in this post.  I'm merely telling you to look for them, because they're out there and you have to learn on your own... the hard way.  But here's a hint for beginners:  focus your energy and studies on automated systems, because that's where your ultimate success lies.

Earn money with online auctions on ebay

Probably the easiest way to earn money by working from home, is selling on ebay.  In fact, that's where most online entrepreneurs get their start.  And why not?  It's not that hard and yes - you actually can earn money on a daily and weekly basis!  Earning money from online auctions is one of the best ways to get started with your own home-based business because there are simple and easy steps to follow. It’s one of the simplest home businesses to start, maintain, and earn a profit from. In fact, almost anyone can do it - even teenagers - and you can do it from anywhere in the world!

The concept is quite simple: buy a product cheap and sell it for a higher price. Think of it like having a neighborhood yard sale.  You can sell old items that are just laying around the house or forgotten about in your attic. You can find unused items from your neighbors and friends, or buy a products online in bulk from a discount warehouse.  In fact, with drop-ship agreements, you can sell high dollar items on ebay that you don't even own!  Did you know that?

Does that mean that anyone can make money online?  Of course, it does.  All you need is the knowledge and the motivation to carry out the necessary steps.  So, how can you start making money with online auctions this week? Well, the first step is to realize that the only person that can make it happen is you. Once you are motivated to start making money with auctions, read as much information as you can. The more you know the more money you will make.

Unfortunately, lots of people will pick up a book on ebay tactics, read a few pages and then put it down.  The book then gathers dust while they watch TV or do some other useless activity every day and night.  While I realize that a lot of us have jobs and families that take up most of our time, operating an ebay business from home is something that anyone can do on evenings and weekends.  It just depends on how badly you would like to have that extra income... or even a full time work-from-home business.

Who's betting that you're going to lose?

There are pretty much two kinds of people out there:  those who take charge and take initiative (they bet on themselves) and the others who wait for someone else to take care of them. When that second group bets, they bet against themselves, and against everyone else. So who's betting against you? In the United States, the government is definitelybetting against you. Generally, politicians are betting that you can't take care of yourself, you won't do the right thing and you don't have a clue about the coming global financial storm that may end up costing all of us dearly.

Life is a gamble in so many ways, and that includes online business.  But there are many ways to stack the odds in your favor.  But hoping that someone else 'does it for you' is always a losing bet.  I hope you realize that.

Educate yourself about how to be a winner in the new global economy and especially online. It's possible your employer is betting against you as well. They're cutting your hours, or your salary, or your benefits - because they're betting you can't go get a better job. Bet on yourself instead.  Start a business on the side, and grow it masterfully until you no longer need that employer. These days, you can start an online enterprise for a surprisingly low investment of money, time, and energy. You just need to believe in yourself. Many people, from some of your fat friends to the people who want to sell you junk food, are betting against your health.  So are the drug companies and the government (again). They're betting you can't run that half-marathon, or lose that weight, or stick to that diet. Bet on yourself. Eat right, exercise, get your sleep and your daily two liters of water, and take your vitamins. Become a physical specimen who doesn't need to rely on encouragement, but instead encourages others.  Having vibrant health increases your odds in all areas of life.

If you're an optimistic, hard-working, values-driven person, you will succeed. There will be obstacles, and there will be naysayers. They are there to take your bet. That's OK - you have something they don't have. You have the ability to bet on yourself and win.

Are you looking for the inspiration to change your life in a meaningful way? Ready to make the kind of bets that (unlike those people make in the casino) you can't lose? If you're a serious entrepreneur looking for an inspiring opportunity, I'm looking for a few serious teammates for my business. Join us at Global NPN and make it your 'home program'. We have the most inspiring and collaborative community of entrepreneurs in all of cyberspace!  There's no reason not to try!  I hope you're the next person we're looking for.  When you join Global NPN through a link in this post, you are enrolling under a random Team Member in our group. 

Wishing you Health, Wealth, and Inspiration in 2011 and beyond... bet on it!

Don't you wish that business was like a paint-by-numbers kit?

When you were a youngster, did your parents ever buy you one of those paint-by-numbers kits that kids love so much? You know, one of those where you had lots of squiggly black lines on a white page with instructions that all areas with a '1' were to be colored blue, all sections that had a '2' were to be red, and so on? I used to love those things.  And if you ever had a kit like this, you probably remember that it didn't matter how artistically challenged you were, you could always produce a picture that looked exactly like it should, simply by following the instructions. Granted, the only requirement for doing so was having the ability to follow these instructions but, hey, that's why painting by numbers is for kids, right?

Here's another thing that I always remember about painting by numbers. It never mattered how hard you tried to see what the picture was when the page was still white, all you could see was a mass of lines before you colored it in.  After that, the full 'picture' would be miraculously revealed... and it always looked great!  But the numbered guidelines on their own meant nothing without the substance provided by the colors. In many ways, this is a perfect analogy for online marketing. You can have all the guidelines you want, but without substance you're unlikely to achieve real and lasting success. On the other hand, substance or (in online marketing terms) content has little use without some guidelines to follow first.

From what I've seen over the years, far too many marketers have either the guidelines or substance but they do not have both.  Unfortunately, there are far too many so-called online success training products that offer only a small sliver of the complete picture while suggesting that they are in fact teaching you everything that you need to know. Would-be online entrepreneurs buy these products and implicitly believe in them.  They were written by experts, after all!

This is why I recommend starting out with an inexpensive proposition and plenty of useful and ongoing training.  If you are involved with Internet Marketing (or are just starting out), you will absolutely, positively need an autoresponder.  For that, I recommend TrafficWave.  It has everything that you will need, including a great affiliate plan and tons and tons of training material to help you 'paint-by-numbers'.  Secondly, I highly recommend Get Referrals Fast as your complete hands-on training resource for getting the most out of your autoresponder and email marketing in general.  With inexpensive tools and plenty of Free advice, you too can create a 'paint-by-numbers' online-business masterpiece!

Underground Traffic: How To Get 897,981 Visitors

897, 981 visitors?  Really?  It can be done if you have the right system and you're motivated to use it.

Let’s be honest with each other here.  Are you sick and tired of not getting enough traffic and earning enough money online (or any of either one)?  Are you sick and tired of trying every rehashed 'old school' technique?  Are you sick and tired of hoping 'this' could work... this one last time?  Well, for once I couldn’t agree with you more.

So for starters, this is what you need to do.  DON’T think about anything!  Don’t think about Google, Yahoo or MSN.  Don’t think about banner ads, social bookmarking, social networking, Facebook, Adwords, SEO, blogging, article writing, etc..  In fact, forget everything that has come your way until now.  It’s time for a change!  I’m going to show you how to get a lot of traffic and make money online without Google.  Don’t believe it? I’m going to prove it to you too.

By now you must have realized that trying to get traffic from Google just means stress, more stress and then some MORE stress. Wouldn’t you agree with that statement?  How frustrated are you lately?  Are you in a personal economic recession, with endless bills to pay, loans piling up, and a nightmare job?  It's a big problem, and you are far from being alone.  In fact, that was life for a guy named Mo Latif... for four(4) long years.  For FOUR long years … that’s 48 months, 1,461 days, 35,064 hours or 2,103,840 minutes… that was his reality. And I bet that now he’s glad he’s out of that torturous cycle.  But that’s not all … he wasted over $100,000 learning how to get instant traffic. That’s $2,083 every month spent on learning.  We don’t have that kind of time or that kind of money lying around, as I know I surely don’t!  It’s a damn shame for him, but in the process he got to try everything … and I mean EVERYTHING!!

He tried making money from Google, Yahoo and MSN.  He’s tried banner ads, social bookmarking, social networking, Facebook, Adwords, SEO, blogging, article writing and here’s what he learnt in the end.
They’re all tedious, complicated, challenging, expensive, stressful, time consuming and overcrowded.  So I’m sure, someone with four years of (expensive) experience knows a thing or two. Wouldn’t you agree? 

And now for the *SHOCKING* part...

Lately, he got 867,981 visitors using a software and made $540,340 on autopilot.  You can watch it here in action:  AUTO MASS TRAFFIC

It doesn’t stop there though…

He spent less than 10 minutes doing it as well!  He configured the system, clicked the mouse button a few times, activated the software, copied and pasted a few links and he was done!  This didn’t make sense to me at all. I wanted to know more.  Now since this is brand new, nobody has access to the software except a handful of his students. So I had to track down one of them and here’s what I discovered.  He did exactly the same thing and made $86,299.13 to be exact.  It took him several minutes, couple of mouse clicks followed by copy and paste. Then one final click to activate the system. That’s it!

Watch it here in this amazing video:
