Operation eBook I have secured a massive discount for you too!

Is it really surgery for your eBook problems! Let’s find out.

Let me first introduce you to Paula Brett, UK based Internet Marketer and professional forum moderator. Paula started her Internet Marketing career like quite a lot of marketers I know, eBay! Yes the old favourite. Ebay could be perceived by some as the gateway to a digital product supermarket and the entrance to the Internet Marketing world. Like Me Paula found this to be true and like me, Paula stills sells eBooks on eBay today. Not only does she sell eBooks, she devotes her time to helping new guys and providing a personal mentoring service to guys who ask for it.

This mentoring service is what made her decide to produce “Operation eBook “.

At first glance I found the eBook to be creative, however the contents menu does become a little confusing, due to the medical analogies you find when you glance through them. However, once you get into the first chapter, you soon see the analogies are a perfect contrast to what you are reading!

You really can see the Professional Mentor oozing out of the pages when Pauls talks you through from start to finish. Paula pushes you to feel confident about creating your own product, giving you ideas and the ability to overcome the problems that, 90% of guys today have. Some of these issues are:

I do not know what to write about
How do I create my own product
Why would anyone read what I have to say

I have no expertise

All of these issues and more are covered. Not only does Paula provide you with her expertise and knowledge of product creation start to finish, she provides you with 4 worksheets to print and work from. These work sheets really will help you get your product off the ground from paper to a fully fledged product.

Operation eBook really is emergency surgery for you guys who lack a little confidence in writing your own eBook.

I give this eBook a 5 Star recommended read!

Discount tip! Hit the Red X to leave the site for a discount!

On Thursday the 13th of December John Thornhill completely raised the bar when it comes to Home Study Courses and making your home based internet business become a reality!

So what’s it all about?

Resale Rights Blueprint, in a nut shell is how we can make money from selling resale rights products i.e. brandable eBooks, which I spoke about in this month’s newsletter, Private Label rights (PLR) products and resale rights products.

Ok we have heard it all before! That is exactly what I thought when John first told me about it over 3 months ago when it was in the planning stages. However on Monday the 11th of December what was “Ok heard it all before” was now “WOW I can’t believe what you have achieved” I was completely astounded by what John had produced. In the short three months he had, he produced one of the most exciting Home Study courses I have seen in a long time.

What you will find when you purchase this product and land on the download page is an excellent step by step guide to get your started. Your fist step is a full welcome package which takes you by the hand, and shows you how to move from nothing to actually running YOUR own business in only 1 WEEK. John will explain to you what is right and wrong, tips and pit falls, what to do and what not to do and how to manage your time to full affect.

Let’s take a look in the member’s area and I will show you what’s what.

Day1,

John provides you with a check sheet and all the information you need to finding and starting your business.

Day2,

The prep work continues as you complete the final steps of setting up your business. There is a check sheet in each of the 7 days for you to follow, so you cannot go wrong.

Day3,

Get creative, that’s all I can say. In this day alone you have an easy to follow 10 page PDF full of step by step guides tips and tutorials.

Day4,

My Favourite Day! In this day you get down and dirty with all the product templates, downloads, One Time Offers and more. There is a 35 page PDF guide, 8 videos to watch and more. This day will probably take you a full day to master, but this is what this course is all about. This day alone could be sold for $97 (which is more than the whole course at the moment) it has that much to offer.

Day5,

A new day, a new challenge, check sheet, video and PDF to follow.

Day6,

I want to give it all away to you but that would probably get me in trouble, but day six will show all you eBay guys how to use eBay in ways that we all should know.

Day7,

The chequered flag, the finish line for the course but not for you. you will now have a complete business model to use develop and earn money from.

Not only do you get all of this, you get a whole bunch of bonus items to help you too. I must admit that John has gone the full mile and outdone himself. There is one thing that worries me about this product, it is the price. I honestly cannot for the life of me think, why he is selling it so cheap when it could be easily sold for double even triple what he is asking.

It is available for you now at $67 (for a very short time) from HERE. Discount tip! Hit the Red X to leave the site for a discount!

I think that Resale Rights Blueprint has definitely made my top 10 great products.

If you really want a business, or a model to follow to better your own business, then this is for you.

Thank you for reading

This Months Review is:

The 90 Day Powerseller website business

Here’s a review that I surprised myself with, I expected this to be a product about …well – Becoming an eBay Powerseller In 90 Days.

Strangely enough that is covered in the product John Thornhill has put together – but it’s actually much more than that.

Anyone who has ever tried to get to powerseller status on ebay will understand the reluctance of most people these days even trying for it.

The daily trudge to the post office, the annoying looks and stares from the customer waiting behind you in the queue, wondering just how many boxes you have in that bin liner you’re lifting to the counter scales….And that’s all before you’ve worked out how much it’s cost you in fuel, shoe leather, postage costs and ebays fees.

Is it surprising that only the thick skinned and extremely determined ever make it through?

It does make you wonder if they actually make a profit for all their effort?

Well that’s not what John Thornhill does at all.

John has been steadily tapping into the information product market on ebay, which is huge!

He sells digital downloadable materials and thereby avoids any trips to post items or costs involved, in fact all he has are his ebay fees and paypal fees.

It’s obvious John has a system in place that makes him money – as he has been trading on ebay for 5 years and he happily displays his his ebay id – planetsms, and his positive feedback of over 13,000.

Basically it’s easy to establish that John does very well from ebay. That said I’d be telling fibs if I didn’t admit that I had heard ebay was no longer of use for making major profits from. Anyone who has looked into ebay must have seen it’s critics, shouting loudly, that there is no longer any money to be made from selling ebooks!

And yet here is John proudly displaying his ID and claiming he can help anyone get to powerseller status in 90 day AND learn to duplicate his systems and make hundreds a day!!

So can he ?

Well an exploration of the package from the inside reveals firstly

That everything stated on the salespage is actually included, there doesn’t appear to be any hype over the products contained.

You see John is offering not just his action plan, but everything that anyone would need to follow it (barring a domain name and hosting, and an autoresponder account) He includes a host of tools and products including a fully built website, listing templates and literally thousands of ebooks.

It has to be said that although John adds new ebooks monthly, a good deal of the older ones would either be better left or completely updated…. these are the ones you typically see people selling for 01 penny/cent. Personally I’d not waste my time messing about with them – there are so many recent and good quality products in the package there really is no need!

Here’s where it get’s interesting.

After you follow the step by step tutorials and get everything set up to sell the quantity’s required to achieve powerseller status, (by the way – if anyone was looking for a quick fix – you wont find it here. The system does require manual input of a couple of hours a day for those 90 days!)…. But given that anyone seeking to build a long term income online would be quite prepared for that, lets assume that powerseller status is reached within the 90 days…..

John then goes on to continue teaching, and frankly this is what impressed me more than his initial package, yes it’s impressive and yes it’s comprehensive. Yes it delivers everything promised on the salespage, and yes it requires work and effort following step by step what one needs to get done!

But John could quite easily have stopped at that having delivered what was promised, and yet he adds more instead. The breath of fresh air in the ‘make money online’ industry that has grown around people constantly over promising and under delivering comes from the lengths John goes to to ensure his members have learned what they really need to know.

It does briefly mention on the salespage that there is a members only forum, (but in fairness – how many sites don’t have one these days?) – the difference in the planetsms members forum is that John goes on to give more advice about maximising profits through his “Many Streams Make A River” concept….

He says on his salespage that he will cover affiliate marketing, and that is done in the tutorials, but the forum seems to be a hive of activity not just from John posting his advice, but from the many long term members who have built their own businesses and have stuck around to continue to offer advice to the newcomers.

With over 2000 registered users and over 30,000 posts, it seems to be the most valuable resource of the entire package!

Having viewed the contents and quality of the posts, no question is left unanswered and no affiliate links or advertising are mentioned in any save an ad section provided for members use.

So to conclude this review…

Question —– Can the 90 day powerseller package do what it claims?

Answer —— In my opinion a definite Yes – IF one is prepared to follow step by step and put in the work initially required to get there….

But as I mentioned at the start, having looked at the entire package, it is far more than just about ebay. It’s about building a sustainable long term business online, incorporating many income streams, and giving all the advice, help and support needed for anyone to achieve these things….

Frankly – Surprising these days…. But Very Pleasantly So!.

The package can be viewed and ordered here, and also come with a 100% money back guarantee! Plus I have a special 30% discount for Dan Sumner newsletter readers!

Dave Nicholson’s Niche Gold Mine

The perfect product to create and sell on eBay is the eBook. There are no post offices, no overheads, no lost products (that you cannot replace immediately) and unlimited resources. All with 100% profit!

So why The Niche Gold Mine?

Well to be successful you should be creating your own products. I don’t mean creating your own members area or writing your own software. I mean create your own eBook!

Creating your own eBook to sell on ebay with your own back links to your website or affiliate programs inside is one of the easiest ways to make an income from the internet. However this process can be a long winded pain in the rear end, especially if you are not fast on a keyboard , short of ideas, or not very good at writing eBooks.

So why private label?

Private Label Products will help you create your own eBook without any problems at all. Simply add your name as the author, insert your affiliate/product links or newsletter signup links and your ready to convert the eBook to PDF and distribute it as you see fit.

Dave Nicholson provides exactly this for you! The Niche Gold Mine has 20 private label eBooks you can use for your own gain. This selection of PLR is very well presented and most of all new to the PLR scene so there will not be many copies around as it is a new product.

What’s inside the members area?

The website member’s area is very well set out and very easy to follow, so getting around it is no issue at all. For the $27 price tag, in my opinion it’s a steal.

You not only get a great selection of private label eBooks! You get the eBook cover graphics to place on your listing/website as well. You will also get the PSD graphic too, so you can edit the graphic as your own too.

Here is a snippet of the rights to the products, just so you’re sure of what you get:

“[YES]Can be edited

[YES]Can put your name as the author

[YES]Can be broken down into articles

[YES]Can be used as web or ezine content

[YES]Can be added into membership websites

[YES]Can be sold in any format

[YES]Can be packaged

[YES]Can be offered as a bonus

[YES]Can be given away for free (any format)

[YES]Can be sold on auction sites

[YES]Can convey (Master) Resell Rights

[YES]Can sell Private Label Rights

[YES]Can be published offline

In short, you can do literally anything you want with this product.”

So if you’re looking for a new venture or some new PLR then I would say – go for it! I bought it and for the price it is a great product and not to be missed. It is never a bad thing to have a good selection of PLR on your drive because you never know when you will need it.

Creating your eBook part 2

Now that you have your niche content and your research done (if you’re not sure check the archive for part 1) it is now time to check through your eBook and ensure the content is exactly what you are looking for and free from typo’s and errors. It is sometimes a good idea to have a friend look over your work for you. This will reassure you that your product is in good condition and proof read.

*Note* If you did not get your eBook created and got stuck, drop me an email and we can talk about it.

Once you are completely happy with your eBook, it is now time to add your affiliate links, website links, newsletter links, upsell links and so on. You now need to find strategic points of insertion to ensure maximum click through.

If you do not have anything to promote, check out www.clickbank.com and www.cj.com these are great free affiliate programs which you can generate commission sales from.

Login to the market place and check out the commissions in Clickbank.

Click the Marketplace link and search the Business to Business category and use the key words eBay for an example. You will now see a bunch of advertisers with links to their sales pages with two more links under the explanation, called “View Pitch Page” which is the same as the sales page link at the top. And the most important link “Create Hop Link” upon clicking this link you will see two fields, Nickname and Tracking. The Nickname field is all you need to be concerned with at the moment. “Now you are thinking I do not have a nickname” There is a simple signup and registration link to click just below the tracking link. Signup and get your nickname and insert it to the nickname field of the hop link you want.

Once you have your links you can insert them to your eBooks. Try to place them at points of reference e.g. “for more information (on your chosen product) Click Here.”

Once you have placed your affiliate links, website links or links to newsletters, eBay shops and higher priced items, you are ready for the conversion. www.openoffice.org has a PDF converter integrated with it. If you are using another word program, you can use any of these free converters to convert your material to PDF.

PDF Converter Software:

www.primopdf.com

www.pdf995.com

www.gohtm.com

“Why PDF and not just text format?”

Word files can be altered and your links can be removed by others, so a PDF is safer and un-editable. Click Here for an example of a PDF format conversion of this newsletter.

Until next time.

Creating your first eBook part 1

Do not be afraid of what is ahead of you! If you are interested in creating your own product then please read on.

Why create and eBook?

eBooks are cheap to create and also a very powerful tool. They allow you to upsell higher priced products, special offers, promote mailing lists, websites and affiliate products, and also provide people with a great source of information, which if you wish you can grant resell rights to others to create more revenue for you. Providing a good source of information is vital to a good eBook. Why would you buy a higher priced product from an eBook if the eBook itself did not convince you of success? Imagine, reading an eBook with great content and excellent sources of information. I would buy the higher priced product if it interested me, or resell the eBook as it is such a good product, or even promote it in one of my eBooks, which I have done many times. Imagine this was your eBook. Well it can be!

There are certain factors which you think may stop you writing your eBook:

1, I do not know what to write about

2, I have no confidence

3, I have no knowledge

4, I have not got the time

These are simply examples of excuses which I come across on a day to day basis. The answers to these questions are simple:

1, research your topic or use your existing knowledge

2, confidence is a state of mind. Gain confidence by researching and writing and never give up

3, research other products and the ways other guys do it

4, make time! A few hours a week will do it. Instead of watching television, try writing an eBook or researching a product or topic?

The fact is we can all create an eBook, sell it and make money.

So what’s first?

Research your product or your chosen topic. This could be an interest a business or simply something you want to learn about.

Just because you are writing an eBook, it does not have to be about making money or internet marketing to actually make money. It can be about anything you like. The truth is, the internet is a huge place, so there is no shortage of markets for you to trade in.

You can also look here for the latest trends and hot projects to write about.

http://50.lycos.com/

http://buzz.yahoo.com/

http://ecommerce.internet.com/research

Plus there is no shortage of affiliate links you can add to your eBook from the most popular and best selling websites (we will discuss affiliate links in the next newsletter).

Do a search for your subject on Google and see for yourself what products are selling and what info and research you can find about your chosen subject.

Check out eBay, the Information – Everything else section is the best place to look for best selling eBooks. Watch the listings and check out the sellers and see what is selling well. Look for a gap or untouched niche in the information product section. Maybe you will find the next great idea. You never know what’s around the corner!

Once you have your chosen niche, it’s time to get to work writing. Give yourself time to structure your eBook and find a good layout which you are happy with. If you do not have a word program you can use www.openoffice.org this is a free office program.

There should be enough here to get on with, until the next newsletter.
