How many times have you received emails about the latest big thing that has been launched. I will not insult your intelligence
by telling you this is the greatest thing. What I can tell you is that I haven’t seen a product that can build you a store in minutes. With the Instant Azon PlugIn you can build an Amazon store as fast5 as that. Trust me I have checked this out and you can be up and running in next to no time whatsoever.

Also, with the unique ‘instant monetization’feature it is possible to monetize ANY site in a matter of seconds.This really is the fast way to generate multiple income streams I have ever seen and you simply have to check this out. The product was designed by two very experienced marketers and looks like they’re onto a winner, that’s for sure. I personally have not used an Amazon store builder before but they cannot be as easy as this store builder. You can actually set all this up in minutes.

So when those two guys set out to create set out to create an Amazon store builder they knew they had to make it as simple and effective as possible, and they did that with ease. You will have to see how simple and effective this really is. if you go to the page you can watch a video on how to set up your store in under 1 minute, you heard right, under 1 minute.

With InstantAzon you have the power to tap into Amazon’s 250+ million marketplace and create eye catching affiliate based ads in seconds.

Microsoft has decided to end support for Windows XP on April 8th 2014 which means users like me and millions of others worldwide will have to change their Operating Systems.users will have to decide on the best way forward for them whether it will be another Windows OS or maybe installing a free version like Ubuntu. After this date XP will become unsafe to use as security patches etc will no longer be provided. That will mean a field day for hackers malware writers and ID thieves. However Microsoft pledged that XP users would continue with updates to its free anti virus tool Microsoft Security Essentials until July 2015.  However that will not provide sufficient protection so it’s best to move forward. Whatever next. It will be a sad day. I have used XP for many years now and was quite happy with its performance.

With the April 8th deadline approaching there are potentially 30% of computers still running XP, not only that security experts have warned that 95% of the world’s cash machines still run versions of XP. That means one thing, when XP is switched off……..ooops. Maybe they will change their minds.In the UK the NHS and HMRC are also running XP. Could be a shambles on the way. However, there are companies who will continue to support XP. Google Chrome will continue to receive updates. There are others who will continue to release security updates with Kaspersky pledging to support until 2018. I think I’ll upgrade. I hope my machine is up up to the task of a newer version of Windows, 7 it is.

This is only the start. 🙁 With a new OS you’ll have to back up your files before anything else. Check out this video:

I hope that will help you to transfer your files before installing your new OS whatever that might be. Another good idea is to make a Disk Image in case your machine throws a wobbly and you can restore to exactly the way it was. This is something I’m not very good at. There are several free image back up tools.If you go to this website which is one of the best:

http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

Here is another video by the same chap to help you sort out a disk image.

Finally you will have to transfer your files to your new Operating System. If you are moving to a newer version Microsoft has a handy tool that makes life that little easier, it’s called Windows Easy Transfer, which you won’t find with XP but does come with Windows 7 & 8. I will now find another video to show you how to transfer:

I hope that has helped you somewhat. Good luck with your new OS. If you are unsure of how to do anything explained in these videos go and see someone who does, like me probably… Baarrrryyyy.

Easy Auction Income

Easy Auction Income is the latest product I have come across on selling on eBay. We’ll call this EAI for the time being rather than type out the whole name. A lot of products promise you the earth and you end up with nothing and an empty wallet. Well today I want to tell you about Easy Auction Income, which doesn’t only talk about the juice, it shows you in fine detail. This product was created by Barry Wells & Steve King, both who have been selling on eBay long term. They got together to create this exciting product, and trust me it’s exciting. They started selling photo prints and after 30 days they transferred £350 (approx $500) to their bank accounts. How cool is that. Barry & Steve had only been doing this for 90 days.

Easy Auction Income is a full on Video Coaching Programme. This shows you how to source and sell their Photo Prints on eBay. There are 14 for you to watch, and then follow what Barry & Steve are teaching. What you do is pause the video and you go and complete that task…simple.

Video 1. Quick Start Video, A quick look at the Forum & Directory.

Video 2. An introduction to Easy Auction Income.

Video 3. Getting Started. ‘Let’s Get The Show On The Road’.

Video 4. Finding The Pictures.

Video 5. Sourcing The materials. All the other stuff you will need.

Video 6. Creating the listing.Making It Look Really Good.

By now it gets exciting. You’re about to create, quite possibly your first eBay listing. Cool, let’s crack on.

Video 7. Costs and profits. You need to work out your cost/fees etc. Need to be in profit….remember that.

Video 8. printers & Ink. Engine Room Behind Your Business.

Video 14. Getting Started With Filezilla. 11 Part Video Course All About FTP.

After watching and finally creating your own listing you should be good to go. At the end of the day it’s Rinse & Repeat. Keep doing, build up your feedback. Your goal should be to open an eBay store. A lot of positives about doing that, for instance, cheaper fees.

I didn’t mention earlier. You get 40 Free prints to help get you started. You will also be getting  Free listing templates.Withe temples, which are already formatted all you have to do is Copy & Pate the HTML code in the eBay description, add the image URL, switch back to normal viewing and hey presto, listing done. You will need to add your own details. But apart from that you’re good to go.I have very good experience with Easy Auction Income. In less than a week I made 9 sales, not bad going. I still have lots of prints to list in my eBay store which will a potential buyer more options. The potential to make a second income is there. Initially you’ll need to spend time getting started but thereafter 4 or 5 hours per week

Check: My eBay Store

Barry & Steve have done as much as they possibly can to help you get started. You can upgrade to Easy Auction Income Premium. This has a monthly recurring cost of $20.00. I highly recommend you go for the Premium. The added extras you get there is amazing, more Free Prints, more Free Listing Templates and of course the support you get is second to none.

Finally there is a forum where members get together for a chat or support, to help other members with any problems they might have. At the end of the day if you don’t like the product there is a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. I do hope you sign up and earn yourself some extra income to do with as you please.

Having had no internet connection for nearly 5 days I looked back to 1998 when I got my first computer….for FREE. I was in my last 14 months or so when I would finish my time in the Royal Navy. I had been desperate for a computer since they came on sale. I couldn’t wait until I left the RN and could get a top notch machine when I received my pay off. How did I do it? Well, if you served 12 years or longer the Navy would put you through any course you wanted anywhere, and I believe at that time they would send you abroad to do any course, within reason of course, pardon the pun.

I chose to do a Computer Maintenance course. Four weeks in a college down in Southend on Sea, South of England. All in all the total cost, including 4 weeks accommodation, was approx £2200. I enjoyed the course got City & Guilds and the computer to take home. In fact it was a 12 or 18 month course whittled down to 4 weeks. Don’t get me wrong some stuff went way over my head. I had no intention of ever going into Computer Maintenance; I was there for the computer. I always remember upgrading RAM from 32 to 64. Look how far we have come in 15 years. I went home happy with a brand new computer. We used the computer as part of the course, taking it apart, all the innards on the desk and then start up the machine. Yeah, enjoyed.

Couldn’t wait to get home, set it all up. Next thing was internet connection, the old dial up. Memories, “Get of the internet, I want to use the phone”, used to get that on occassion…lol. Nowadays, not a problem. I remember a couple of years later the computer was getting a bit haggard. I was reading a copy of PC Answers where if you wrote in and explained your PC problem, the magazine would arrange to pick up your machine take it to their offices, get it sorted and would appear in the next issue. I sent an email and woe and behold they did as promised. I had a mention in the next issue. I sent the magazine to a friend so he could have a look and I lost touch with him…lol. Never mind.

The internet was a new experience, not just to me but to a lot of people. I always wanted to work for myself. I signed up to Tradedoubler but couldn’t fathom how it all worked. I signed up to eBay in 2002. Didn’t do anything then either. I had tried to do something online, signed up to a few things on how to make money, nothing was working. In 2008 I came across the Rich Jerk, had that name for a reason. I signed up, received a free WP blog, all set up. My domain: http://www.liveyourlifelongdream.com. I had to pay $140 approx for 12 months hosting. This was exciting. It was the first time I saw video tutorials, good ones they were. I learned quite a lot watching those tutorials. After 12 months and not a penny and the hosting expired, that was that one out the window.

I kept getting the usual emails, nothing of much value, until I came across  an email from Dave Nicholson. I read and signed up to his newsletters and after a while I bought an ebook site, http://www.ebookmall.co.uk. By this time, I was getting nervous and excited. After paying I got my download, you know the compressed file and the instructions. Oh no!! What do I do now? Upload to your domain, didn’t have a clue. I contacted Dave who uploaded everything for me. I signed up to D9 and bought my domain through them… That was me on the way. Didn’t earn anything, I was still a little confused by it all, but a learning curve. Through Dave I got to know John Thornhill. I have purchased a lot of John’s products the first being, How To Profit From PLR. This was an excellent product, great videos to learn from. Over the next few years I have bought many a product from many marketers, all of them excellent products. I have only ever once asked for a refund. My problem was too many shiny objects and not enough learning. I have learned quite a lot but not put too much to any use.

I signed up to John’s Masterclass but had to opt out after a few weeks due to lack of funding. Saying that John was good enough to let me pay monthly rather than fortnightly, but did have to let go. Saying that I built my first blog watching John’s videos, opt in form etc etc, where after a couple of weeks got my first subscriber, John’s report ‘Why you’ll Never Succeed Online’ was the ‘bait’. I’m sure there are thousands of John’s report out in cyberspace. I also learnt a lot about uploading, images etc. It was about the end of 2010 I received my first affiliate sale. I was chuffed and have had a few after that. I even had the honour of being on John’s leader board, made 10^th place on day 1 with 1 sale…lol. To say I was chuffed is an understatement. He told me he noticed my name under those who had 1 sale. Thanks for that John, my name in lights…

I haven’t had much success in IM but not to say I don’t enjoy it, I do. I go through phases. For nearly 2 years I have been selling vintage prints on eBay. I got into this niche through Stuart Turnbull, with his Prints Make Profits. This is a very good way to get started online or if you want to sell on eBay. http://www.print-sorcery.com. Stuart is very successful selling on eBay and  his reports on how he finds classic prints to sell online. Stuart is an expert on eBay. If you are interested in selling vintage prints, click on the bove link and learn more about it. You have very little start up costs.

One of my problems is mindset; I keep going from one project to the next without finishing the one I was on.

On Saturday the 19^th October I received my first cheque from Clickbank for $178.00, proud as punch. Unfortunately it will take 6 weeks to clear but now hoping there will be more in the future. Need a refresher for Aweber, been that long since I posted to my subscribers, all 15 of them. Better send them some freebies.

I would like to thank everyone who has been good to me; you all know who you are. Well, I’ll finish now and post this as my Internet is back online.

I haven’t posted on here since the 1st of May. That’s pretty ridiculous actually, I am not impressed with myself. Well, what can I say about 2013 so far. Not much I’m afraid. I’m still selling on eBay although the last couple of months has been pretty poor to be honest. However, I kept being told that the summer months are usually quiet on eBay with people going on their holidays, kids off school, BBQ’s etc. I guess eBay is not on people’s mind especially with the sort of products I sell, which is Vintage Prints..yes, I get a few sales. Folk like that sort of thing. I usually matt/mount them and put a cover at the back and then they are ready for the customer to frame. recently I haven’t been doing that. is that a reason for people not to buy the prints. I don’t think. Some people would rather do it themselves. For those who would like to go into this niche have a look at PRINT SORCERY, you can do this as a hobby and earn a part time income or eventually you can go and do this full time.

I was meant to have started a product in January, haven’t got that off the ground as of yet, got the idea but it’s the starting process. I hope to get that underway very soon, honest. I will start to gather information and do a little research. I will also use One Month Mentor as a guide which will help me as I go along. One Month Mentor is a 30 day guide on how to create a product starting from the very beginning on how to get your domain name, hosting etc. I don’t have to go that far back. Another product I will use to help is Product Development Control which helps with Sales Pages, Download Pages amongst other things.

I haven’t really got much else to say at the moment but will be back more often with information and let you know how I’m getting on. Please leave a comment if you so wish and let me know what you think of this blog.

I was recently reading a post on Barry Well’s blog. The post was about Mini Masterclass and after reading the post you were asked to leave a comment and 2 post would be picked by Barry and the winners woul get access to Marketing Masterclass. Am I glad that I did? I am. Barry picked me as one of the winners and let me tell you what a wonderful membership site this is.

I spent some time going through the site navigating my way around and getting used to where everything is situated. When you first log in you come to the home page. On here you will find five options:

Start Here: Five videos to get you going. First one is a quick tour of the site, then you are shown how to set up your Google Plus account if you haven’t already got one. Next, you are shown how to access the Facebook Group of MM. You are also shown how to leave a comment. This is different to how you normally leave a comment. The last two videos are a tour of the Forum and Chat Room. I am sure that will get you buzzing. Next…

Miniclasses: The first part to this is Blogging. There are 11 videos in total to watch from Basic Blogging tips down to Guest Posting. There are loads here for you to take on board. This will help with if you are new to blogging, even I have learnt something from this and I have been blogging for four plus years now.

We now move to the next part, Profit From Plr. If you use plr on a regular basis then this is for you. Profit From Plr by John Thornhill is one of the best products on the market. First video is an introduction by John. After that you get approx 30 videos starting with how to choose a niche all the way to writing your sales page. Yes, you pick your niche, choose a product and then you change that product to suit you..and voila, a new product…yours. PFP will help you no bounds.

Flipping Websites. This is something I would like to get involved in. What is Flipping. Well, it’s where you set up or buy a website, improve the site to make it more valuable then and only  then sell for a profit. Here you have 10 videos, with an introduction video, then shows how to set up your site, with niche research, keyword, rebranding etc. Follow the videos and you cannot go wrong.

Hope you’re getting excited. Before you any further you will be shown all about Facebook Ads, Pinterest and how to create graphics using Gimp, which is a FREE tool.

WordPress. Have you got your own blog? If not, fear not. You will be shown from start to finish on how to start your own blog. Everything is taken care of:

• Before We Get To WordPress.
• Getting Started.
• Adding Cool Stuff.
• Maintenance & Security.
• Plug Ins.
• Themes.

Hopefully by now you should be getting excited. If you are a newbie, this is for you. By the way there is more. There are extras for you. You will receive FREE REPORTS, FREE GRAPHICS and you will to get interviews from other marketers which will be in the members area for you to listen to at your convenience and last you will be able to read case studies from members who have succeeded online.

There is a chat room and forum available. You can mingle with fellow members and chat about, well, whatever basically. How you getting on, help each other etc. I will remind you that it is very important to help your fellow member, that is very important. That is all I have to say about Marketing Miniclasses.

Have I anything negative to say about Marketing Miniclasses? Not at the moment. There is still material being added to. It shouldn’t stop anyone starting and following what is being taught. You don’t want to much material at the same time. If a newbie, get started, little by little, get your blog up and running. Good luck to one and all.

Well done to Mandy and Steve. An excellent product.

Welcome to the

List Money Generator

A few weeks ago I had never heard of Gareth Kentish. I can’t even remember how I came across Gareth, but I can tell you now I am so glad that I did. If you ever want to know about eBay and how to build a subscriber list using eBay, Gareth is your man. I bought his last product Auction Money Generator and boy did that help me out. (Read my previous post) List Money Generator is moving on to the next level, how to take it everything further and also to help your own clients build their business. When you log in to LMG you’re taken to the dasboard where you will have a number of tabs to choose from.

• Dashboard: Gareth welcomes you onboard, gives you a couple of tips on how he finds success on eBay. Easy stuff.

• Earn Money: If you need to earn extra cash or you do a lot of affiliate marketing then please sign up. You get 51% commission on each sale. Once you sign up as an affiliate you get the tools required to help you along.
• Free: This where Gareth gives you some free tools to use. A blog report on WordPress Blogs, and some audio which explains the following: Introduction, Starting with eBay, Why build a list, ISA, cPanel and Blog, About Me page, goofbay.com, Google and other affiliate partners, other stuff and a summary. You can listen to audio at any time, whether in the car, doing the ironing or the housework or relaxing with a coffee or beer.
• eBook:  Gareth supplies an eBook and audio of the course. I recommend printing the eBook and you use the videos and the eBook to help you throughout the course. I read the book first of all and marked pages of importance. The book is an excellent read.
• Videos: List Money Generator comes with nearly 40 videos for you. You are going to learn loads. You get an introduction video before you start. There are 6 chapters in total with a number of videos in each. At the end there is a summary video congratulating you on your success. I’m sure you will all reach the last video.
• Resources: This is where you have an option of adding to your income stream, building yourself an enormous library of eBooks,secondly capitalising on sales of your eBooks.

• Gold Stuff: In here there are more goodies to look out for. More tools, Adding a Video to eBay, Alladins Cave of Suppliers, Buzz Building, Discreet redirections of Links, Finding a Steal on eBay, Your Own Shop, and the Most Effective Formula.

One thing I will pick out is Buzz Building. It’s cross linking members accounts. in your listings you will be promoting other members products. Like Gareth says, It’s a win win situation. You will get more exposure for your own products which is a brilliant idea. Gareth even has a template which you can download and amend accordingly. If you’re like me not techy, he supplies a video and you can watch how he does it and follow suit.

There is a lot more information and goodies to look forward to. I said at the beginning I have only known Gareth for a short period of time. A genuine marketer who will help you and guide you if you have any problems.

List Money Generator

Now is the time to take action. If you are a regular seller on eBay and you want to take it to the next level you cannot go wrong with the List Money Generator. Gareth has worked extremely hard to make things easier for the rest of us and he should be proud for what he has achieved so far. Whatever you decide I believe you will move on with your business, not just with eBay but selling your own products.
Now is your chance to move forward, if you have the desire, the will, the motivation. List Money Generator will guide you along the way. At the end of the day if you’re not willing to work hard to move forward then you won’t. I have moved forward with this product. It has helped me no end. Being an eBay seller I wasn’t moving forward. Now with Gareth’s help and List Money Generator I can do that. If you do buy the product and decide it’s not for you or what you expected, there is a money back guarantee, but you will not need to use that. Good luck. Let me know how you get on by coming back to this blog and leave a comment.

Auction Money Generator

I have been selling on eBay for quite some time now. I have been doing ok, although it has been very quiet for a few months. As some of you are aware I have been selling vintage prints. However, I have been wanting for some time to move on with eBay but was unsure which way to go. As eBay have a habit of changing rules and regulations I didn’t bother. I just carried on as normal. Then comes along an email from John Thornhill…

Gareth Kentish,  the gentleman who created this product, first of all gives you an introduction about the product he created. I have found this to be the best eBay product I have come across and like I mentioned above this will help me no bounds to move forward where eBay is concerned. The masses of literature you come across online, Gareth has refined a formula that generates more revenue from auctions and listings. This product has been tried and tested by many of the TOP POWERSELLERS. This is different to any text book literature about eBay.

Gareth goes on a little about eBay,  he mentions other products that can complement what you will be taught using his system. They are favourite products of his.

One question he does ask: “Do you think you could make a Full Time income on eBay”? “Yes” is the answer he wants to hear because Gareth himself works full time and has actually moved to France. How cool is that…You will be shown the basics, setting up an account. In fact he will want you to open more than one account and a shop. You will be shown and explained about Cross Linking. How to set up a PayPal account, promote your products. I have wanted a decent ‘About Me’ page, the one I had was not very good. I now have deletd that one and working on another one using Gareth’s method. How to add your ‘About Me’ page to a campaign. How about that.

Aweber

Why does Aweber get mentioned in this product you might wonder. I did, and realised how many possible subscribers I have lost because I didn’t do anything about it. You have to watch, if you start sending emails to your eBay customers with their permission. You could be classed as a spammer. Don’t want that, do we? Gareth will guide you along the way and get you on the right track. Gareth will show you how to and explain it all to you. Another major issue which I did not know until now is integrating Aweber to Paypal. It gets better. There is a lot more go and have a look for yourself.

Auction Money Generator has helped me loads since I purchased it last week. I watched the videos, reading through the ebook and now putting all that into action. I am now looking forward to setting up my eBay shop, a new ‘About Me’ page and all the other features that will help me along the way. That’s it from me, now up to you. If you use ebay for selling this will be a massive help in moving forward. Good Luck in all that you do.

My First Post Of 2013

Happy and Prosperous 2013. What am I going to be up to this year. Well, I have decided to concentrate on eBay a lot more this year. In between that I have one or two other projects going on. As some of you may know I sell vintage prints on eBay, original prints from the 1800’s and early 1900’s. I have been selling these for just over a year. I have had good results and not so good. Actually, I have realised that about the same time last year I had a good number of sales and started to dwindle around June July time. I thought that after the Summer break it would pick up again. It didn’t really, the odd sale here and there. What I ahve found is that since 19th January until today, 22nd January I have sold three prints and one other when the auction ends this week. That is excellent. The above print is typical of what I am selling. The prints were taken from a book, “Old Christmas” by Washington Irving, illustrated in colour by Cecil Aldin. I will be concentrating on this niche for the next few months. If last year is anything to go by I will continue to sell for the next few months and see where it takes me. Selling vintage prints can be a lucrative niche.

Stuart Turnbull

a very successful marketer got me into the  selling prints niche. I bought one of his products, Print Sorcery, which shows you step by step how to go about it. It’s very interesting. I learnt a lot about eBay, things I wouldn’t have had a clue about beforehand. He introduced me to other sites and software which makes things a lot easier. Stuarts way of teaching is easy to understand and easy to follow. If I have a problem I usually contact him on Skype. All I can say is if you sell on eBay this is an extra income stream. It will help you get started. You are guaranteed a little income, might not be much but can help towards, say Aweber or buy a domain or just help you on your way. A lot of the great marketers started on eBay and that is how they have moved on. That’s about it at the moment about vintage prints. Here is another print. Hope you like them. If you want to have a look at some other prints my eBay username is: planetscotiaprints. Between now and probably June and July there will be prints listed unless anything untoward happens. I research often for new books with vintage plates. There is enough books out there that will probably last a lifetime. I am glad that I found this niche selling vintage prints. Another thing, it’s not only on eBay you sell these prints. There are other sites you can sell on as well. Rememeber you have to scan the original prints, you could also sell re prints or use sites like Zazzle and etsy. The sky is the limit.

Steve Poke

Another marketer who sells his wares on eBay. Steve uses Public Domain in a different way. Steve found a way to use PD to his advantage and came out with this amazing product $50 a Day Auction Challenge. When I watched the videos from Steve I couldn’t believe how easy it could be to earn money using his methods. After purchase, with the exception of a couple of software you need this will cost you next to nothing. You will have ebay and paypal fees but apart from that, nothing much. Steve researches the Public Domain for all types of material, puts it all together, burns onto cd/dvd, inserts into a plastic folder or cd/dvd case and lists on eBay. How easy is that. I have mentioned two very
successful marketers who are both making a good living. I am not sure about Steve but Stuart is doing IM full time. I recoomend eBay if you are beginning out in Internet Marketing. You will learn, earn and move on to bigger and better things eventually. But, eBay can be a good earner, if nothing else you can earn extra income.

I purchased Steve’s Fifty Dollars a Day about 14 months ago but I didn’t follow on with it. I have watched most of the videos and will soon begin to put products together. Instead of doing all the burning etc you can outsource to Kunaki. They will do that for you. Saying that half the fun is putting it all together. I’m sure you could do the first few.

I hope you enjoyed this post and do please leave a comment, good or bad. Good luck in your marketing business and all the success for 2013. Enjoy.

Hello bloggers and friends and marleters. Here’s hoping that you all have a Happy & Prosperous New Year. I have decided that in the first instance will endeavour to finish any project I didn’t in 2012. Afterwards I will carry on selling prints on eBay. I am also going to engage in Public Domain materials. I am following a chap who is getting regular income from selling PD material. Let’s see how that goes….shall we.

I am looking forward to the launch coming in January. What I am looking for is what bonuses marketers are going to offer. Not that I am going to purchase anything……I did say in a previous post that I would limit myself but won’t be buying many products, if any. If I do I will keep tabs on them and if they’re of good quality.

Short post this time. Will be back in the new Year with another. Promise I will have more posts in 2013. Have a safe and Happy Hogmanay.
