Our family adventure

Four boys…and soon a little girl too.

We are a blessed family. We are taking 2-3 months to travel to Guatemala with 4 boys age 10 and under in order to finalize the process of adopting the little girl that God is placing in our family. If you want to follow the adventure keep an eye on my wife’s blog here:

I’m very grateful for the success of my Internet ventures that make this all possible. I hope I can play a part in helping you grow your Internet business as well!

Videos get clicks. Let’s drive some eBay traffic! (VIDEO)

In the newsletter that went out today I talked about a new idea for driving traffic from eBay to affiliate programs, opt-in lists, or websites without violating eBay policy.

Experienced eBay sellers and those familiar with the “about me” page can skip forward to about the 2:17 mark. The front end of the video is for “newbies”.

For EVERYONE though – this is an idea you haven’t seen before!

eBay and Internet users taxed into oblivion?

MySilentTeam.com expert contributors and respected eBay powersellers Dave and Debbie Harber are going to speak before a U.S. congressional committee in Washington D.C.

The committee they’ll be addressing is the “Internet Taxation Committee”. Dave and Debbie are part of a group of 30 eBay powersellers that have been invited to go along with eBay representatives to address congress.

Just the NAME of the congressional committee should strike fear in your heart. “Internet Taxation”…they are trying to kill the golden goose friends…

My friend Dave puts it this way, “Just imagine if you had to collect and remit sales tax for every item you sold online? Not only would you have to file to 50 states but often each state has different tax rates from county to county. In fact there are over 30,000 taxing jurisdictions in the US alone that you would need to keep track of.”

The potential complications and red tape that go along with tracking this tax is astounding to even consider.

What can you do to help Dave and Debbie prepare for their trip to D.C.?

They are requesting that you send them specific examples of how this legislation would impact your business. What are your thoughts on this issue? Leave a brief comment in the blog, or if you have more in depth info you’d like to get into Dave and Debbie’s hands before they leave please send it to us at:
