10 Guaranteed Ways to Kill Your eBay Business Dead!

July 27, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 14 Comments

Just follow the simple advice given below if you want to kill your eBay business stone dead.

Building your business can be hard work, very hard work, but do you know what is easy? Killing it stone dead is easy; all you will need to do is follow my 10 point plan to success.

  • This is easy! Just lie about the product you are selling, if it doesn’t work just say it does, if it’s not in perfect condition say it is. How easy is that to start with? Incidentally your customers will hate you but hey you could even get banned from eBay so no need for the other 9 points.
  • Don’t bother posting your items until you feel like, after all everyone knows the postal service is slow and patience is a virtue so don’t bother putting yourself out just let them buy from someone else.
  • Don’t bother about planning the end time of your auctions, if anyone wants your item why can’t they stay up until 3 am just like you, even less work to do.
  • Find some real rubbish to sell and try and squeeze every cent you can, after all it’s well know that people pay top prices for garbage on eBay.
  • Any old listing will do make sure that you never spend more than 5 minutes on it. Don’t forget the gaudy colours and the “cool” fonts and ALWAYS USE CAPITALS. If you really want to impress, find some poor animations and some low quality audio. Make sure that people remember your listing.
  • Never reply to e-mails, I mean its all in the listing isn’t it. Surely people can just read it.
  • Don’t add a photo, too much work, if they want it they will buy it anyway. If you do add a photo make sure it is blurred and the lighting is poor (you may have to wait for exactly the right conditions for this).
  • Write a short description like this. Saves loads of time.
  • Never give a discount, the cheek of it! What’s the problem with paying for two lots of postage, discount for multiple purchases if they want that they can go elsewhere. They will.
  • Don’t list your items for sale, just as easy as the first. You can them blame everyone else because the item did not sell first time.

Congratulations if you have followed the plan you have now destroyed your business. If for some strange reason you want to succeed in your eBaying then completely ignore this advice. Rob…

My Birthday Giveaway Competition

July 14, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 8 Comments

This post is late, over 3 months late! It should have been online on April 10th this was my birthday and the intended launch date of my new E-course 12 Roads to Online Success. So at last here it is better late than never.

What is 12 Roads to Success? It is a new e-course that gives you 12 different Blueprints to kick start your online business the fast way. Each one follows a proven simple step by step formula that works in almost every market. Apply the simple step by step formula to multiply your chance of success. Some of these businesses can be started at NO cost whatsoever.

The information in 12 Roads to Success is 90 pages of good solid content, no padding, no fluff. It shows you how to operate in niche markets and so eliminate most of your competitors, it is in niche markets that the real money is made. Best of all, I will show you how to run this business on AUTOPILOT working just a few hours a day. As he says it’s about work life balance, less work and more life.

So here is the deal, 12 Roads to Success is not yet on sale, so I am going to run a competition to win a copy. All you need to do is to leave a comment under this blog post telling me why I should give you a free copy of this course before I release it, simple. I will be closing the competition on Thursday 22nd July. Good luck Rob…….

Affiliate Marketing Know How

June 16, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 3 Comments

Affiliate marketing is immediately associated in the mind with the marketing of information products through such organizations as clickbank, commission junction and paydotcom. This is often seen as an easy way to start a business as an affiliate. I have prepared a special product Affiliate Marketing Know How as a gift for you to enjoy and profit from.

Top affiliates can earn a considerable income from recommending these products but for most people affiliate marketing is just one string that you can add to your business that will produce an income. As my mentor John Thornhill has said on many occasions many stream make a river. The more streams of income you have the more that you will make, it is better to have many small income streams than rely on just one or two sources of income.

What is not often appreciated is that there are large amounts of money to be made as an affiliate promoting physical products or services. Most big name companies selling branded or household name products have their own affiliate programs.

A simple search using Google or any other search engine for “affiliate programs” should unearth an extensive set of possibilities. A word of advice simply don’t promote every single thing you can this scatter gun approach is often counter productive. Find a series of products and services that you have a knowledge of or are passionate about you will have more empathy with the product of service you are promoting and this will come over in the promotions that you are involved with.

You can promote products via a website but that mean you will have to have some means of driving traffic to that website, one of the easiest ways of doing this is by article marketing which allows you to link back to your web site via a resource box at the end of the article.

You can also drive traffic back yo your website via forums for your chosen niche, on the website you will need some method of collecting e-mail addresses so that you can mail out your promotions to your list. Giving away a free eBook is often an easy way of capturing these.

Affiliate marketing of physical products is a very easy way to start a business in Affiliate Marketing Know How reveals in more depth at how this is achieved. I am making this product available as a thank you to all my subscribers and visitors to my blog, enjoy. Rob…

Update.

You may find these MP3 files a useful resource to help you with your affiliate marketing. There are 10 altogether I think these are excellent.

MP3 1-5

Why Start Your Own Business?

June 7, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 6 Comments

Why do people want to start their own business? I suppose that the answer is as individual as the person, but the basic reasons are usually.

  • I have always wanted to be my own boss
  • I hate the idea of being a wage slave
  • To give me a sense of achievement
  • To do something I am really interested in
  • To make lots of money
  • To give me the life style I have always wanted
  • I want to work from home
  • I want to work around my family
  • I want to sack the boss!

For me it’s all about life style, I like to work when I want to and the idea of not answering to anyone is the real appeal. I have run many different types of home business from selling computers to Information Marketing. The great advantage of the ones I run now is that they run on almost complete auto pilot. So much so that I have taken few days off to visit the Costa Del Sol Spain last week and the only thing I did in that time was answer one e-mail.

Me at Benamadena Marina with my New Toy (not!)

On the Prom

Mijas Village One of the many “White Villages” in Spain

I love the laid back life style and the sun but the best bit is that due to the Internet I can run my complete business from anywhere in the world where I can access the Internet. That to me is a powerful motivator.

How many people go on to start their own businesses and how many people are put off by thinking that starting their own business means a huge amount of cost and that there are a lot of different skills that need to be mastered. Well it rather depends on the type of business you choose to start, some of the best and most profitable businesses have grown from very modest beginnings.  Rob….

Can You Really Profit From Writing Articles?

June 1, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 1 Comment

Auto Article Profits is a short report written by John Thornhill that shows you how you can become a success with article marketing.

 The product claims it can show you how you can earn anything between $10 and $500 per month from a single article. I must say I was quite sceptical at these bold claims so decided to purchase the report to investigate further. As the report only cost $10 and had a 60 day refund policy I knew I wasn’t taking a big risk.

 The report itself is only a few thousand words long but let me assure you it was full of golden nuggets, no fluff here and the fact it only took me 20 minutes or so to read it was not a problem as the information is straight to the point.

 As with most stuff written by John the content is solid and your head will be spinning with the ideas the report generates. Let me tell you most of what you think you know about article marketing will be dispelled once you read this report.

 What I also love about Auto Article Profits is the fact it covers a technique that involves no capital outlay. You could read this report and be putting the information it contains to good use within a matter of hours at no cost. How many products can claim that.

 Is the information contained in Auto Article Profits life changing? perhaps not but for a $10 investment you really can’t go wrong. I have seen courses that charge 50 times more than the cost of this report contain less information.

 Auto Article Profits receives my highest recommendation and I urge you to check it out.

Why Do I Never Make Money On eBay?

May 2, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 7 Comments

I think of all the questions I get asked about eBay this in the most common. I think that all too often we get seduced by the “eBay myth”. “eBay is a licence to print money”, well if you are a share holder it is, but as a user it is more complex than this. The myth and the reality are quite different, let us take a few scenarios and examine them in more detail.

Myth: Put anything up for sale on eBay and it will sell.

Reality: Less than half the items for sale on eBay will sell on the first or even second attempt.

Myth: Look for the “HOTTEST” selling products on eBay and sell the same, you will make money.

Reality: Unless you are an established seller don’t try and compete in the areas of high competition, don’t try to run with the “big dogs”. Some categories and sub categories have dozens of competing pages and thousands of competing products. These big powersellers have huge powerseller discounts from eBay and can buy in there products in bulk at a much lower price than someone who is trying to muscle into the market. This makes your profit margins razor thin or even non existent.

Myth: You can only make money selling product that are well known brands.

Reality: There is a vast market for non branded products on eBay (and Amazon). Non branded products can be sourced cheaper, sold cheaper and yet make more money than the branded product.

 So how do I start making money on eBay? Find a niche area to trade in, now this may seem daunting at first so I am going to give you my FREE report “Successful Online Selling” This will show you step by step how you can easily find profitable niche markets 

Inside there is an example of how to research a niche, for it is in the niche areas that the profits are to be made. Download your FREE report “Successful Online Selling” now are find your own profitable niche areas.

Don’t follow the herd, make them follow you….Rob

Have You Found The Easy Button?

April 17, 2010 By Robert Corrigan 11 Comments

Here it is! NOT!

How much e-mail do you get in a day? Well on my average weekday I may get up to 150 e-mails. Most of these will be people trying to sell me something that will make me money the easy way. Just push the button and the cash will flow forth! Easy, no need to do anything at all, push the button count the cash.

If you are like me I’m still waiting for delivery of my luxury liner, my order for my 6 Bentleys seems to have got lost somewhere in the system and I’m struggling to decide which small island paradise to buy. Reality check required, after you have been burned a few times you realise that there is no easy button.

There are however ways to make things easier, the real way to make real money in IM is to create your own products. But when you are starting out this maybe appear a daunting task and we are often faced with information overload. But there are ways making starting up a bit easier.

WARNING NO SALES PITCH COMING!!

My e-mail box is bombarded each day with ‘buy this’, ‘buy that’ and, buy the other’. I could spend several thousands of dollars a day on products that promise instant wealth. To set up and make a start in IM you only need a hosting account. If you have that you will have almost everything you need. If you do not have a hosting account then I can recommend D9 hosting (see my recommended links) who offer a superb service at excellent rates.

If you already have a hosting account you can set up your own blog by downloading Word press for free. You can even have a blog without the hosting package by using blogger.com the problem is that you will never own this blog as it is owned by Google.

You can expand by using Freebies from Giveaway Events, now some may frown on this but it is a way of starting without spending your hard earned on products you may not like or may not use. Save your money, you do not need to spend out large amounts to get started. You can obtain scripts, graphic programmes, templates, PLR information, Video and Audio products for a simple sign up to a list.

Learn how to use these products, you may find that some do not suit you as your ideas develop, at this stage you can pay for custom made products that fit in to the theme of your business you can even out source the work to others more skilled at these tasks than you.

BIG OPPORTUNITY! Earlier this week Mike Filsame made available FREE his Butterfly Marking Script, you may ever have heard of it but I bet you will have seen it action thousands of times. This until recently was a $1995 paid product. This is now available FREE read more about this HERE.

It occurred to me that with this script and some other materials such as 900 PLR articles, I already had I had a complete business start up available that I could offer FREE. So I put the whole lot together in my Freebie Friday 8 event. Remember this is not the easy button but it will make it a bit easier. If you want to make start in Information Marketing go to Freebie Friday 8 and download this now, I have no idea how long Butterfly Marketing will be available for….. Rob
