Start Your Own eBook Business on eBay within 30 MINUTES

POWERSELL Status, the secrets revealed.

If like thousands of people you have been using eBay and wondering how to gain a regular income, and work from home, this article will help you.

Like many, I have been searching for years for that illusive system which will allow me to work from home, and spend more time with family and friends. MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS are the answer.

What are Multiple Income Streams?

Multiple Income Streams are the Holy Grail of the Internet, those things you hear about but never quite see. The 24 hour a day, 7 days a week income machines.

I have found a very simple technique which has proved very beneficial, and in fact earned me POWERSELLER Status on eBay!!

My secret is simple:

I pick a very popular subject, for example Playstation Repair Guides (eBooks) which are a consistent seller on eBay. First you need to acquire the Guide (from eBay) with Resell Rights. Then you need to think of associated eBooks, which would appeal to buyers of the Repair Guide. I use two such associated eBooks, which are :-

Playstation Cheat Guides (with resell rights) and Repair / Build your own PC (with resell rights)

My reasoning behind the eBooks?

They are connected and will appeal to buyers of the Repair Guide, and anyone searching for either Playstation Repair Guides, Playstation Cheat eBooks OR Repair / Build your own PC guides will come across your Auction. In effect 3 Auctions for the price of one !!!

Other potential pairings would be:

PS Repair Guide, Cheat Guide and Fruit Machine Cheat guide

xBox Repair Guide, xBox Cheat Guide and Repair / Build your own PC Guide

xBox Repair Guide, xBox Cheat Guide and Fruit Machine Cheat Guide

Hopefully the picture should become clearer, and the enormous potential.

What about PRICING?

All of the eBooks mentioned above can be bought for 99p each, with RESELL Rights. Rather than list two seperate Auctions, with two sets of charges, I list one Auction and charge £1.99 for the package. This has a massive impact on your profit.

One Auction for 99p may incurr basic Auction charges of 50p PLUS 25p per item sold, and 25p per PAYPAL Payment received. Leaving you with a profit of 50p, only after sale number two.

One Auction selling the three eBook Package would also incur basic Auction charges of 50p PLUS 25p per item sold, and 25p per PAYPAL Payment received. Leaving a profit in the region of £1 on the first sale, and £1,50 per sale after that.

I PREFER TO LIST AT LEAST 5 ITEMS FOR SALE IN EACH AUCTION

When the Auction has finished you just relist, and wait for the sales to come through.

This is just a snap shot of the potential for selling small packages of targeted eBooks on eBay. The opportunities are endless, and very quickly you can build-up 10, 20 and more consistent Income Streams on eBay.

Imagine:

One Income Stream

5 sales per day, making £1.50 per sale = £7.50, £52 a week, over £200 a month

Two Income Streams

5 sales per day x 2, making £1.50 per sale = £15, £112 a week, over £400 a month

Ten Income Streams

5 sales per day x 10, making £1.50 per sale = £75, £525 a week, over £2000 a month

The potential to gain this kind of income is open to everybody willing to put in the work and effort.

Good luck!

The Rich Jerk..

When I first came across “The Rich Jerk” website I thought what everyone else did. Here’s another scammer trying to make some money with a worthless book. I was about to close when I actually stopped to realise that the writing style was something I hadn’t encountered before. It had attitude. After doing some research, I found out that this ‘Rich Jerk’ was actually for real, and becoming more and more popular. He must know something! After all, he had shown us impressive earnings in his sales letter.

Well, I just had to buy it.

This book goes beyond the aspects of original add copy and sales letters. It reveals a few hard core marketing techniques which will appear ‘uneasy’ to most people, but it also provides many alternatives so you don’t get hung up on one technique. This is a book that is for people wanting to make serious money off the internet. It has straight-to-the-point information minus the fluff & filler.

Bottom line? “The Rich Jerk” delivered. This book is worth every cent. It put a smile on my face and some zeros to the end of my paycheck =)

So what are you waiting for? Get It Now!!!

Miscellaneous Advice to a Young Hacker - Grow Up!

Dear Hacker,

Since I’m writing articles to ezinearticles.com you have frequented our side with your harassments (and you will probably read this). Why are you doing that?

I think that hacking is a function that is well needed. I also can imagine that not every hacker has the ability to jump on the big and important sites. You need to learn the job and you try a simple site somewhere in the open.

Let me try to figure out who you are. Here are some of your phrases (I have taken the liberty of copying them):

  • with the intention of increasing the effect when
  • right place, for it must exist. t led from here
  • the asaltar region of celand are attributed by the natives to their iants the ons of rost, of the dda. uppose, my dear, said r. lentworth, dryly, that you were to visit it yourself you might, perhaps, give us some new theory of the phenomenon. am sure there is no
    –25cbbcacfff165d9995d0b041548c33e–
  • You left many more footprints on our site (which I could reveal). If those words are of your own, you have a cultural background. In Holland there is this famous writer I’m very fond of. He - Arnon Grunberg - said: Character is what you do when nobody watches (you). I guess, what you do when nobody watches is of a very poor quality. I do not know much about you. Yet if you would be a professional hacker you would probably earn your money hacking important sites. So you must be young, still learning the job unattended and without friends.

    My advice to you is: Grow up.

    Ebooks — Self-Publishing Your Way to Internet Success: Part 7 Accepting Payment

    Once you’ve completed your ebook and have taken the necessary steps to protect your work, your next step will be to set up an online payment system.

    Don’t let this process intimidate you, as it is much easier than you may think. There are many professional companies on the Internet that will assist you. If you’d like to get your own merchant account, you can do so right online. If you’d rather not have your own merchant account, there are companies online that will process your orders for you.

    Merchant Accounts

    If you decide to get your own merchant account, you will also need access to a secure server and a shopping cart system. A secure server will protect your customers information. A shopping cart system will provide your customer with a running total of what they have ordered and the total cost.

    The following websites can provide you with a merchant account:

    Total Merchant Services (TMS)

    This outstanding company comes highly recommended by Corey Rudl — author of the #1 selling online marketing course, “Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet.”

    The TMS Merchant account, for Internet transactions, will enable you to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. They offer two merchant processing software packages to choose from. The first package is the TotalPay powered by Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal.

This package ordinarily runs $995, but for a limited time is being offered for only $397.

This package includes everything the first package includes, plus all of the following:

    - Customizable Shopping Cart System

    Their discount rate is 2.4% and $0.35 per transaction fee. Monthly fees include a $10 monthly statement fee and a $10 gateway fee that includes secure, online, real-time credit card and e-cheque processing and only applies to merchants processing transactions through their Internet payment gateway.

    Third Party Credit Card Processors

    If you’d rather not have your own merchant account, third party credit card processors will process your credit card orders for you. There are usually no monthly fees. They charge a “per transaction” fee and send you payment for all of your orders processed, minus their fee and a reserve fee. A reserve fee is withheld to cover any charge backs you may have. If you have no charge backs within a period of time, your reserve will be refunded to you. Each company has their own guidelines in regard to reserves.

    The following websites will process credit card orders for you:

    Invasion of the Amazons

    The last few months have witnessed a bloodbath in tech stocks coupled with a frantic re-definition of the web and of every player in it (as far as content is concerned).

    This effort is three pronged:

    Some companies are gambling on content distribution and the possession of the attendant digital infrastructure. MightyWords, for example, stealthily transformed itself from a “free-for-all-everyone-welcome” e-publisher to a distribution channel of choice works (mainly by midlist authors). It now aims to feed its content to content-starved web sites. In the process, it shed thousands of unfortunate authors who did not meet its (never stated) sales criteria.

    Others bet the farm on content creation and packaging. Bn.com invaded the digital publishing and POD (Print on Demand) businesses in a series of lightning purchases. It is now the largest e-book store by a wide margin.

    But Amazon seemed to have got it right once more. The web’s own virtual mall and the former darling of Wall Street has diversified into micropayments.

    The Internet started as a free medium for free spirits. E-commerce was once considered a dirty word. Web surfers became used to free content. Hence the (very low) glass ceiling on the price of content made available through the web - and the need to charge customers less than 1 US dollars to a few dollars per transaction (”micro-payments”). Various service providers (such as Pay-Pal) emerged, none became sufficiently dominant and all-pervasive to constitute a standard. Web merchants’ ability to accept micropayments is crucial. E-commerce (let alone m-commerce) will never take off without it.

    Enter Amazon. Its “Honour System” is licenced to third party web sites (such as Bartleby.com and SatireWire). It allows people to donate money or effect micro-payments, apparently through its patented one-click system. As far as the web sites are concerned, there are two major drawbacks: all donations and payments are refundable within 30 days and Amazon charges them 15 cents per transaction plus 15(!) percent. By far the worst deal in town.

    So, why the fuss?

    Because of Amazon’s customer list. This development emphasizes the growing realization that one’s list of customers - properly data mined - is the greatest asset, greater even than original content and more important than distribution channels and digital right management or asset management applications. Merchants are willing to pay for access to this ever expanding virtual neighbourhood (even if they are not made privy to the customer information collected by Amazon).

    The Honour System looks suspiciously similar to the payment system designed by Amazon for Stephen King’s serialized e-novel, “The Plant”. Interesting to note how the needs of authors and publishers are now in the driver’s seat, helping to spur along innovations in business methods.

    Poker Terms: ‘wheel’ and ‘wrap’

    A wheel in pokern is a hand consisting of A 2 3 4 5, which in Texas Hold em or Omaha makes a straight. It is called a wheel because it is the lowest possible straight you can make, using the ace as a low card. A wheel is often a more disguisable hand than other straights since it is harder to make.

    In Razz poker, the wheel is the nuts, or best hand you can make, as it is the lowest possible five card hand. If you have this hand, there is literally no other Razz hand that can beat you. In Razz, straights do not count against you.

    A ‘wrap’ is a name for hand in Omaha consisting of cards that make an open ended straight draw using two board cards and three or four cards from a player’s hand. In this way, if the player hits any of his hole cards on the board, he will then make a straight. For instance, a hand consisting of 6 7 9 10 with a board of 7 8 A can hit a 5 6 7 10 or J to make his straight. Wrap draws in Omaha poker are often big hands to push with as they have equal or greater outs to ‘made’ hands.

    Fun Things to Do when Traveling


    Traveling is no fun if you will not be able to take a trip to all the places it is known for since every part of the world has something to offer. For instance, Seven Wonders of the World shows all the magnificent history, so like say if you will go to India there is no way that you will ignore Taj Mahal or pyramids if you will consider Egypt. When you mention France, first landmark that will come to people’s mind is the Eiffel Tower same with other countries. So when traveling you should list down all the place that you that you like to visit.

    Some of the Europe and Asian countries like Hong Kong and Singapore are known for shopping spree. It is rather expensive but there are also hidden areas where you can avail cheap materials. From clothing lines, shoes, jewelries, technologies and souvenirs, you can find it if you are patient enough to search for these concealed shops.

    If you are open to trying new things, you would really enjoy every place’s specialties and exotic cuisine, like Asian countries where you can find their restaurants filled with sea foods, hot noodles, rice and out-of-this-world viands.

    Interaction with the natives can also be a great experience. Educating yourself about their culture and tradition is very helpful and will make you more understand the people and their country. Joining some of their activities like their folk dances and singing can also be exhilarating. It is not also bad to try to learn a few of their native tongue or dialect so that these people would respond well to you seeing that you appreciate them.

    So, with all the fun that you will have while traveling, it would be nice to record all these experiences by taking some pictures and videos. At least you can still reminisce and carry all these memories with you when you go back home.

    Born Evil - Book Review

    Author of two books and many short stories, J.P. Ransom is busily writing a series of books called Colla’d Greens and two more upcoming books including a sequel to Born Evil.

    Born Evil is a compact, 150-page book that is printed on acid-free paper - which may be of interest to the environmentally conscious consumer. I would categorize this book as a chilling horror, which involves an infant that is born evil. Traumatized by early experiences, only compounds Jonathan’s natural inclination - a cruel desire to cause harm. Unprepared for a disturbed child, his adopted parents are continually wallowing in deep pits of overwhelming uncertainty. Rick suspects the truth, but Trish finds it very hard to imagine or even accept that little Jonathon is capable of such hateful acts.

    I think the book makes a good point that some people are simply born with a desire to do harm, with no abusive situation to attribute these urges to. Readers are also shown how these urges can easily be encouraged through socially acceptable entertainment and through being witness to violent acts.

    While reading Born Evil, I experienced a wide range of emotions from anger to sorrow and shock. The conclusion was exceptional and I look forward to J.P. Ransom’s sequel.
