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.

In Part 1 I introduced the concept of using non branded products as opposed to the brand names that we are familiar with. The next part of the process is to find a niche area in which to trade in, it is in the niche areas where we will be making our money. We don’t want to be competing in the very HOT markets (at least not yet).

Here are just two random examples:

Men’s Shavers: I have just completed a search and found 17 pages of listings with 811 items for sale, 486 of these are for non branded items.

Slimming Belt: 8 pages of listings ALL of these are non branded. Now maybe 8 pages of listings is too many but the use of the auction format will ensure that your item gets exposure on the first page for about a day or so.

 Ok Rob, where do we get hold of this Non Branded Stock?

 The first port of call should be your local wholesaler; this has the advantage that you can examine the goods before purchase. Most cities have there own wholesale districts so it is worth spending some time to visit a number of warehouses.

 The real bargains and therefore the real profits are to be made from importing from the Far East and particularly China. I have imported goods from China for many years without any problems, the price you will pay will depend on currency fluctuations as most Chinese companies trade in the US $.

 Remember as always “Caveat Emptor” or “Buyer Beware”, do not repeat do not send any money using wire transfer services you have been warned. Use a credit card or PayPal for the transaction as this will provide you with some measure of protection in case of problems. To cover all the basics will take several thousand words and I don’t have the space or the time to write them.

So here is the deal! You can get me complete guide to sourcing non branded product on a series of 3 videos for FREE. So here is your DOWNLOAD LINK.

Check back soon for Part 3…. Rob

The reason that most people use eBay is that they are looking for a bargain. That really MUST have item which is for sale for a few dollars less than it is in the high street or through mail order suppliers. It could really be any product, such as an i-phone, i-pod, GHD hair straighteners or maybe Mac brushes, we all like a bargain.

As a result of this thinking many sellers attempt to “cash” in on popular items with a high volume of sales per week, BIG mistake! Selling branded goods for most eBayers is not the way to make big profits.

Here’s why, with branded goods there is always stiff competition. There will be major Powersellers who will be moving lots of these products on a weekly basis. High volume Powersellers will have a major advantage over any newcomer into the market. They will be able to buy in large quantities and so obtain cost savings due to economy of scale AND the fact that they will obtain massive Powerseller discounts.

Following the herd is not the way forward, your profit margins will be razor thin and you will not get the exposure on the site you would wish, most of the big Powersellers will be using fixed price listings which will have high exposure in the search results. Therefore they will sell more; therefore their listing will be promoted higher and higher. This is the massive anomaly in the eBay system; some sellers never get their fixed price listing seen.

 You can resort to using the auction system in which case you listing will eventually find its way on the first page of eBay search results. However you may be unable to compete on price remember economies of scale and discounts? Game over? I think not.

The way to make profits is to offer Private Label and Non Branded Products for sale. Amongst the many branded items there will be a huge number of non branded products. These sell at much lower prices that the equivalent branded item, but they are very much cheaper to buy in than the branded item.

Ok Rob that sounds great but what are non branded products?

To give an example of hair straighteners there are lots of well known brand names such as GHD, Nicky Clarke, BaByliss etc which command a very high price on eBay and Amazon etc. But there are literally thousands of manufacturers who produce similar products except that they do not have a “brand name”. Obviously these are our non branded products, they will never command the high prices that branded items will sell for on eBay or Amazon but they are very cheap to buy, therefore your selling price will be lower and you can still make a very healthy profit, far more than selling “branded” items.

See you soon……….Rob

Forget The Da Vinci Code which made Dan Brown millions, forget the so called hidden codes that lead to the treasures of the Pharaohs or the secret treasure of the Inca’s. What if there were a code that would ensure success on eBay or Amazon. Well there is and I am about to reveal it now!

 This must be the easiest way of making real money on Amazon there is, this well known 10 digit code can make the difference between failure and success.

 Amazon is a world wide brand, its core business is still books CD’s and DVD’s, the thought of even competing with them would send a shiver down most peoples spines. But you can compete and what’s more Amazon actually encourages you to do so, so why would they do that? Well Amazon deal with new stock so if you are selling the same article used (or even new if you can offer a competitive price) then you can compete.

 Amazon allows you to trade in its market place selling most of the things that are sold on eBay. Amazon allow you to set the price and you can also see how much other sellers are selling the same item for, it also has the great advantage that the postal charges are set so everyone is charging the same amount. When the item sells, Amazon takes a percentage of the sale, they do not charge a listing fee. No sale no fees!

 Here’s how it works, every book has an ISBN number (the 10 digit code) just try entering this number in a search and you will see all the sellers selling the same item and also the price they are selling it at. Now notice the prices, try a popular book, how about The Da Vinci Code? Selling for a few cents right, no good to us, so try this then. Academic, Hobby and Specialist books sell for much much more and the great news is they are cheaper to buy used.

 So where do you find these gems, try your local charity shops, garage sales, table sales, the free ads papers. Picture this in your local charity shop, on the shelf Dan Brown and “The Geology of Scotland” selling at the same price just a dollar or two, there is no big demand in the charity shop for The Geology of Scotland no one will be queuing around the corner for this! Resale value Dan Brown a dollar or two at best, The Geology of Scotland $60 resale value. It’s a no brainer, this is a real example of a sale I made recently and there are literally hundreds of these gems to be found. All you need to do is to search them out.

 Use the 10 digit code to unearth your own treasures to sell on Amazon.

“Ok Rob what is Freebie Friday?”

 “Well it’s very simple, when people search online for ways to grow their online business, or are just looking for great advice on how to get started, the major problem is information overload.”

 If you are like me your e-mail inbox gets filled everyday with dubious offers to buy this, that or the next best thing that will allow you to start your business or catapult your business into the stratosphere. A lot of the information being offered is already available free on the internet. The major problem is where do you start looking for quality information that will allow you to make the informed decisions that you need to make.

 Well you won’t need to do all these hours of searching online, getting distracted by one thing and then another because I have done it all for you. You see after doing this for some years it has become easy for me to separate the online wheat from the online chaff.

 Basically with Freebie Friday I will be giving you access to all the quality information you will need to start and grow your own successful business.

 “Ok Rob that sounds great, but what do you class as quality information?”

 “Right this is simple, it’s information that I have used, applied and found useful in building my own business, just pure quality information, no fluff no rubbish.”

 “So what types of information will be available on Freebie Friday?”

 “The very first offering will is a complete video course showing you how you can start to profit from trading on Amazon starting today for only a few dollars and I do mean a few dollars. This is a complete business plan for starting and growing your Amazon business, I could easily charge $67 for this product but to launch Freebie Friday it’s FREE of course, plus some great information products that you can download and start profiting from.”

“Hey that sounds cool, what else will you be offering?”

 “I will have available some top products for the some of the very best marketers such as Lee McIntyre, Ray Johnson, Stephen Pierce, John Thornhill and many many others (including me!).”

Impossible for the ordinary guy, I thought so to, that’s why I was amazed when my good friend Steve King revealed how he got his golf website and blog into the number 1 position in Google. Now I thought that he must have spent thousand on pay per click advertising, or had paid some search optimisation guru to work on his site full time.

But no he did this himself and it cost zero dollars, now that is seriously clever stuff. I have no idea why he does not offer his paid services to others, but now he has done the next best thing. Steve reveals ALL the secrets he used to get targeted traffic to his websites and to build a responsive list on the back of this in his book Web Traffic Evolution .

Now I have read this myself it is seriously good stuff and I will be using all these techniques in my own business, this product is fantastic value.

There is one essential component in the success of every online website, or marketing campaign regardless of niche or industry.

As Steve puts it.

“The need for targeted, relevant and consistent traffic.”

Without a steady stream of quality traffic, there is little chance of successfully launching a campaign, selling products or services or in building brand awareness. In fact, without traffic your website serves no real purpose, aside from personal interest or in being able to showcase your work to family and friends.

When it comes to making money online with your own site however, you need to give your product or service an audience, a purpose, and maximum exposure so that you are able to build a profitable business by successfully penetrating your niche market and directly tapping into your target audience base.

If you are relatively new to online business, launching your website may seem like a daunting task, if not exceptionally intimidating. With so many traffic generation strategies, techniques, programs, and options available to you, it can be overwhelming when deciding what approach to take, or what method is likely to yield the best results.

The Web Traffic Evolution guide was written exclusively for the online marketer who is interested in maximizing their websites exposure with proven techniques that will jump-start your launch with less costs and time involved. Every method taught within this guide is easy to implement, regardless of your experience in online marketing.

In fact, all you need to do is follow along, taking action along the way, as we cover the proven strategies used by the most successful marketers in every niche market online.

Within just a few minutes, you will know exactly what you need to do in order to drive consistent, high quality, targeted and unstoppable traffic to your website, quickly and easily. Every one who wants to make it online NEEDS this book!

I have had a word and being the top guy that Steve is he is offering a massive discount to my subscribers, normally this sells on Clickbank for $47 but for a limited time you can buy this for a massive discount of 50% off the price, that’s right for just $23.50 you can turbo charge your websites and get all that traffic you always wanted to have.

Have you taken advantage of Lee McIntyre’s insane offer yet? If not you should really check this out! Lee held his one time “How To Do Things Inside Out and Upside Down” workshop in Manchester in August 2009. Delegates paid up to $997 for the 2 day event not including travelling and accommodation.

Now if like me you could not afford to attend the event then this will shock you! Lee had made some professional video recordings of the event he was going to sell this as part of a big boxed set for $1997. Believe me having obtained my own copy I can say that the content is not worth that! Its value is priceless; this is seriously life changing information. Over 10 hours of top quality contents.

Lee built his own business from scratch and quit his High School teaching job in only 56 days using the methods he reveals in this workshop. You see Lee    built his business differently from everyone else. He decided to ignore the gurus and did things his own way. That’s why this stuff is so powerful, that’s why it works and that is why Lee can teach this so well. He invented this system.

So what can I expect from the Lee McIntyre Free Workshop DVD? Starting off with basics of how and why, he shows how he built his business in just over 2 ½ years from nothing to over $120,000 a month!

Starting off with the 7 Rules of Momentum Lee shows how he built his business in just over 2 ½ years from nothing to over $120,000 a month!

How would you like to get paid 4 times for every piece of work that you do? Not possible? Lee reveals in this session how it is possible. This is so simple but how many people do this or even know about it?

Deep Connection Dynamics the powerful strategies you can employ to build a rapport with your subscriber list and become a trusted adviser.

How would you like to be paid 4 times for every piece of work you do? Stupid question really, it cannot be possible but in this amazing session Lee reveals how using some very simple strategies you CAN get paid 4 times!

The Lee McIntyre Free Workshop DVD yours completely free, ok its not completely free you will have to pay a measly $6 shipping and handling to get the DVD sent to you, if you cannot wait that long then there is some great, news when you sign up for the DVD you will have INSTANT online access to the videos. No need to wait a few days for the snail mail.

Rob this sounds too good to be true, why give this away for free when it clearly has so much value?

Well its simple, Lee knows his market and has always championed the ethos of giving first and selling second, that’s how he built his business so fast. He knows the value of giving quality content. Lee over delivers on everything and he knows by doing so you will want more and more of his products. You see Lee is committed to the success of all his customers, the better you are doing the better he is doing.

Is this for everyone? Sadly not, unless you are prepared to take action, to be the change you want to be in your life you really are doomed to failure. The most important step you can take is the action step, without the action step nothing will ever happen. It doesn’t matter how many e-Books you have, or DVD sets or coaching programs you buy unless you act on the information you will never make progress its ALL about taking action.

If you are prepared to take that action well done, click the link below to obtain your copy of the Lee McIntyre Free Workshop DVD, you will not regret it.

Remember the best investment you can make is the investment you make in yourself, let Lee McIntyre be part of that investment.

How often have you heard “I’ve tried to sell on line but it didn’t work.” Lots of times I bet! There may be many reasons for the lack of success, the wrong market, the wrong product, too much competition, no market at all, a poor listing, you’ve guessed it I am talking about eBay.

The reason being that most people think that online selling begins and ends with eBay (occasionally Amazon) and never consider any other options. The thought of setting up a website on the back of eBay sales never occurs. Often it is dismissed as being too complex to do or too costly. The skills needed can only be used by the practitioners of the dark arts of HTML or FTP!

Well it need not be like that, about 18 months ago my business faced a crisis due to one of eBay many rafts of change. I learned from that that I needed to diversify into other markets and methods of selling I had no plan B. So I looked at other products and other methods of selling.

I have written a report that details how I did this; it is called “Successful Online Selling” how to get it right first time every time. I am giving it away Free, Gratis and for Nothing to thank all my subscribers. Click the link or the graphic to download your copy now!!

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment on the blog.

“Hey Rob can you explain how these JV (Joint Venture) giveaway events work? I’m really confused.”

“Yeah no problem, these are simple events that allow IM (information Marketers) to showcase their product by giving away one or more of their offerings in return for a signup to their subscriber list.”

“Very good Rob but I can see there is a catch, so come on fess up what is it?”

“Honest your honour there really isn’t one, you see all subscribers have to confirm their interest in receiving the product. So no unsolicited spam.”

“Ah, so when you optin that’s when you get caught and you get lots of sales pitches every day.”

“That’s where you can separate the good from the bad, you see the very best marketers offer lots of free content, tips, and advice and even mini courses because they value their subscribers. So its worth checking them out and seeing what they deliver before you hit the unsubscribe button.”

“But why would they giveaway this free content?”

“Many reasons, some marketers will have the option of a OTO (One Time Offer) as part of the gift, these often offer incredible savings on quality products.”

“Hey I’m beginning to see the value of these events, tell me more!”

“There is an amazing amount of quality information available free if you want to build an online business and need quality information that you can read and test without risking a penny then I know of no better place to start.”

“Ok, I’M sold! Where can I find out more?”

“Funny you should mention that because this is just the place! Checkout the banners for the latest live and coming soon giveaway events.”

Coming soon! Why not contribute your own gift?

As a loyal subscriber of mine look out for a very special freebie coming you way this week. Make sure you check your e-mail for this.
