Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is well and getting their businesses off into gear. It’s been a while since my last newsletter but I have been taking care of business. I have been catching up with mail and answering your questions to the best of my abilities.
After performing a search for ebooks in general on eBay it looks as if it is official that no ebooks are sold on the main listings. Sellers have taken their ebooks and burned them onto CD, just as I suggested on my Practical Marketing Tips. The starting prices range from a few cents to $1.00 plus shipping fees need to be charged. I have seen a rise in the number of classified ads users selling ebooks and digital products and noted that they use the term “pick up only”. Maybe the word download has become taboo.
You may be aware that eBay have set up their own new in-house affiliate program called the eBay Partner Program. I’ve signed up and updated all of my affiliate links. I do miss the ready made links for the Ebay registration. You now have to manually create links that do not point to the default home page. However they have made the process of setting up campaign ID’s easy to do so affiliate can track ads on different site’s and web pages with the added option to ‘Create Campaigns in Bulk’.
For some strange reason I can’t promote eBay UK, even though I live in London. I have the following message:
“We are sorry but we cannot admit you at this time.”
Ah well. Ebay US and other countries welcomed me so I’m happy with that!
Anyway commissions are paid via PayPal and Direct Deposit to your bank account.
I was surprised to find that Joel Comm has released version 4 of his best selling book AdSense Secrets for just $9.95. If you’ve been struggling with Adsense or want to increase your residual profits using contextual ads on your website and blogs you should seriously consider getting a copy. AdSense Secrets version 4 is 232 pages of pure content and real profit tips to help boost YOUR passive AdSense income. Also there is a subscription to Joel’s newsletter he has recently changed the sales letter to offer customers the CHOICE to buy the ebook alone or include a free trial subscription to his magazine. Prior to this change you had no choice but to make a formal request to cancel the pending subscription after your order. Thanks to feedback from buyers that has been resolved.
Networking Amongst Like-Minded Internet Marketer’s!
Just a few short weeks ago I set up my very first MySpace page. Since doing so I have had emails from John Reese who has also been experimenting with social networking sites. He has a massive following in his Facebook contacts list. The maximum number of friends you can have for any one account on Facebook is a generous 5,000. The last time I checked John Reese had hit the 5,001 mark so I guess he’s officially one of the most popular Facebook contacts around. LOL
Maybe that is not accurate becuase after networking finding British comedian and actor, Hugh Laurie he has a grand total of 10,527 fans on Facebook so John you can keep going dude!
Are you hanging out at social networking sites and if so are you networking to boost your business or just there for fun?
From what I have seen Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and YouTube are common elements on most Internet marketer’s websites and blogs. I’ll be referencing some more of my own once I have made some more tweaks here and there.
For now you’re more than welcome to visit MySpace to view my page.

As you may have seen I’ve removed the red logo from the header and replaced it with my own black and white image created with Photo Sketch Pro. I know it’s only half of my face but that was an accident. I made the mistake of overwriting the original image with the full face. However for some reason when I attempted to create another image the quality of the image is terrible which is really odd. I’ll work on it another time to see if I can get back the full face image with better quality finish!
Thank you again for reading and just .. Remember To Live Life To the Fullest Every Day!
