I've been considering this product for a while. Now, that I see that you're endorsing it, I know it has to be a proven winner. That's what happens when you have a reputation online like yours.

On the Niche Blueprint is it really as easy to understand as it says it is. I am not that computer smart and can't even set up a website. I had purchased one of Dave G. ebooks and it was very complicated and I couldn't do it. I am on a very limited income of an SSI check for 674.00 a month, so this income would make a drastic change in my life. HUGE!! I am just not sure I can afford it, I have a little money put away but was going to use it to get a tax id and buying from wholesalers and then re-selling the items on eBay and hopefully start making some money instead of losing money. I don't have enough currently to buy this and I am wondering how long it will be available and if you guarantee that it will work, even for the not so smart computer people. Susan</p> [reply from Jim]: I wouldn't say success ever comes easily in any endeavor. The course is easy to understand though in my opinion. I suggest you use your eBay strategy to get started since your funds are so tight. Buying from wholesalers to sell on eBay is tough though - instead look for local items that you can get an advantage over other sellers with. You don't need a tax ID to accomplish that. As far as I know the discount will be in place for awhile. I'm sending you a copy of my book from best20ways.com to help you get some good simple ideas.

I always thought dropshipping would be more successful via eBay because of the traffic flow, and that websites would need a great deal of promotion to generate the traffic on a regular basis?

I know you only promote the best stuff, so it does not surprise me that you are promoting this, it is a great product. I bought the original Niche Blueprint and just bought the upgrade when they came out with it. This is an excellent product. In fact I think Tim and Steve over deliver on everything they put out. I know that no one knows me who is reading this, but for what is worth, Niche Blueprint is great! The tools alone that they give you are worth the price. My only piece of advice, if you buy it just make sure you do it. It is very easy step by step that anyone could do.<br /> Craig Maxwell</p> [reply from Jim]: Thanks for the vote of confidence from you as well Steve. Much appreciated. Onward and upward! Jim.

I very much enjoy hearing your opinions.

Keep up the good work.

I currently work full time but because of the shifts I am often fortunate to have a few hours off during the day. I your opinion, do you think I would be taking on too much by going for Niche Blueprint at the same time as doing the Masterclass Course.
