2. Great example of info products on eBay
3. Quick tips:
   - Launching October 6th
   - Fast results with the New Silent Sales Machine

I have the smartest audience online. The creativity, motivation, dedication and success that you are all characterized by is so exciting to see! Let’s show it off a bit shall we?

Let’s have a contest of ideas!

Here’s the challenge:

Assume you have $500 and 60 days to work with. You want to make the most of your time and money and get a nice income (or several income streams) going online. You don’t want to work more than a few hours per week now or after you set it all up. What do you do?

RULES: answer must be 250 words or less and must be left as a comment to this blog post (click the “comments” button below). No affiliate links allowed in answers. Feel free to submit more than one answer, but each one must be 250 words or less. Break a rule and your entry won’t be posted.

WHO WINS? : EVERYONE because there will be some great ideas posted and we’ll all learn from them! The two or three best answers with  brief, powerful, actionable plans that I like best will get a prize.

THE PRIZES:  A new autographed copy of my “Silent Sales Machine” on DVD quality audio. I don’t even have a “fancy” sales page set up for it yet, but if you don’t win you can get it here for $27 . You’ll also get a free 60 day membership to MySilentTeam.com (current members get a 60 day credit)

HINT and TIPS: Flattering the “host” always helps. Creativity is KING. Be Specific.  You don’t have to spend all $500 (this isn’t a government job), bribing the host not accepted unless it’s a REALLY good bribe.   ;o)

TIME LIMIT: I’ll give you one week from today. Monday the 29th I’ll pick a winner and announce it in my blog.

QUESTIONS: Please use the comments button below to post a question. I’ll answer questions right along with the ideas that are submitted.

1. Do Beliefs and Values play a role in success?
2. Kevin’s contagious eBay system
3. Quick tips:
   - What is information Overload?
   - Follow Jim on Twitter

There’s a strange little niche opportunity on eBay that has been CONSISTENTLY producing some very amazing success stories lately!

Here are just two of the more impressive statements that were left on the forums of MySilentTeam.com lately… and keep in mind these people have NO incentive to leave a forum post like this except that they are trying to encourage and help out fellow MySilentTeam.com members:

“I just sold my first batch which brought in $2,560 PR0FIT. I would say I had probably 10 to 12 hours tied up in it. So for me, $250.00/hour is not bad.”

“I just had a $2,000 day!”

…and that’s just some of what we are seeing.

Note - you can get a $5/5 day pass to MySilentTeam.com and see for yourself that this is 100% legit.Interact with other members and ask any questions you want!

The product being sold by these successful ebayers is readily available all over the U.S.*  and getting your hands on it in abundance is proving to be a fairly straight forward task.

It all started because this funny little niche item was discovered and written about by MySilentTeam.com member Kevin J. aka “Mr. eBay”.

His book that “spills the beans” is available FOR FREE in the bonus pool of MySilentTeam.com, but if you are new to eBay or are looking for step by step info that will get you your first solid results on eBay you need to check out the below “Coaching With Kevin” link.

Listen to this for all the details:

Here’s a link to join MySilentTeam.com if you are the “read a book and do it myself” type.

*We are uncertain in what countries besides the U.S. you can make this system work.

1. Auctiva.com just became a list building tool!
2. Jim’s new project and what’s in it for you
3. Quick tips:
   - One of my secrets to success
   - Save all those trips to the USPS

Auctiva is getting ready to add a feature that I just had to tell you about, but first I need to set this up so you are sure to catch how cool this is.

If you’ve read “Silent Sales Machine” you know how valuable EVERY visitor to your auction is. You can do better than settling for “one item” = “one customer”.

“One item” can get you “multiple customers”.

You also understand the power of growing your mailing list.

You know that there are all sorts of legal and creative ways to add auction visitors to your mailing list where you’ve “got ‘em” for life!

If you aren’t following me so far (or don’t know how to do it) you really need to read my book (SilentSalesMachine.com). There’s a reason it’s the all time best selling eBay ebook!

Back to my main point though.

Auctiva is a very popular eBay seller management tool that has all the standard features you’d expect, but they are getting ready to roll out a feature that we (as creative eBay marketers) can really get excited about!

For the first time ever you’ll be able to send an email to EVERY BIDDING CUSTOMER.

This opens up a whole new world of contact possibilities with your eBay audience.

For example, imagine you own the website GreatDogHouses.com. On eBay you sell dog houses and each time someone bids you can now send the following email to each of your auction bidders:

“Thanks for bidding on my auction. If you have any questions please contact me at: jim @ GreatDogHouses.com”

or

“Thanks for bidding on my auction. If you are a dog lover please join our mailing list by sending a blank email to freenewsletter @ GreatDogHouses.com.”

Get the idea?

A perfectly legal and perfectly sneaky way to gain exposure for your website and grow your mailing list in a whole new way!

To find this new feature on Auctiva.com look under the “Sales” tab and then “Custom emails”. The feature isn’t live yet, but once it goes live it will be called the “Thank You Bidder” feature. I don’t even know how it works yet because I haven’t seen it yet, but you heard it here first…I’ll keep you posted on any details I learn.

I’m sure the creative readers of my blog will have several other great ideas for us to consider as well…please click the comment button below and share your thoughts or ask any questions you have.
