NEW: How To Do A Joint Venture On eBay
I have been to several live seminars where I presented a class called "How To Do A Joint Venture On eBay". It's one of my most effective tactics and I've used it time and again. Audiences always love this class and I've been asked for more information time and again.
So ... I'm pleased to announce that we are now offering an ebook and an audio class explaining exactly what I'm doing and there are at least 11 reasons why you might be interested. You can now take advantage of the millions of eBay buyers without advertising a single product or mailing a single box.
The advantages of doing Joint Ventures on eBay, and other auction sites, are:
1. Until now, to sell on eBay, an online merchant must post either an auction or a 'Buy It Now' listing or he must own an eBay store. With a Joint Venture, a seller never has to post on eBay.
2. A JV merchant can sell to customers of established sellers and therefore make money without a single customer of his own.
3. One complaint of many sellers is that as soon as they find a profitable way of doing business on eBay, they are immediately copied by dozens of other sellers. Sometimes their listing is even duplicated word-for-word while pictures are frequently stolen. Joint Venture marketers have no such concerns because competitors do not know what they are doing and therefore can't copy them.
4. Because a Joint Venture entrepreneur is not listing products, there are no eBay or Paypal fees. This reduction in overhead results in greater profits for the vendor.
5. eBay sellers live or die based on the eBay ''feedback'' system. Negative feedback can literally kill an eBay business overnight while low feedback scores scare off potential buyers, especially if the product for sale is expensive. Joint Venture sellers are totally unconcerned about feedback because they aren't directly selling on eBay.
6. eBay and PayPal have a multitude of rules. Even totally honest and sincere sellers occasionally receive "nastygrams" from eBay simply because it's tough to know every single policy and rule. Joint Venture sellers, however, do not need to be concerned because eBay has no authority over them or their actions and they are answerable only to their customers.
7. A successful Powerseller on eBay deals with hundreds or even thousands of buyers. Administration is expensive and time consuming. Joint Venture sellers, however, are dealing with only a handful of eBay sellers rather than thousands of individuals.
8. A typical eBay Joint Venture uses a digital product that can be downloaded directly from the Net. This eliminates the need for shipping products and can be put on autopilot using inexpensive autoresponders.
9. eBay's phenomenal success has resulted in millions of competing sellers. In many categories, prices get slashed to bare minimums in order to compete. The result is that no one can profitably sell. However, using the Joint Venture method there is no competition because the JV merchant is building a customer database for sales off eBay.
10. Many sellers have risked - and lost - hundreds or even thousands of dollars on eBay, simply because they don't understand how to do their homework before diving into auction selling. The only risk involved in a Joint Venture is a few hours of time. Joint Ventures can literally be completed with zero dollars.
11. Best of all a Joint Venture seller not only builds a mailing list of interested customers he can sell to repeatedly, he also gets paid for doing it. The usual eBay transaction is a one-time sale whereas the JV method offers potential profits for years.
This ebook and class is priced under $20 - although not for long - so take advantage now while the price is so low.

The Russian Mafia Wants To Invade Your Computer!
EWeek magazine recently published a story explaining that organized crime is primarily behind all the spyware and so called "phishing" on the Net. In a chilling description, they wrote that the Russian mafia kidnaps the families of programmers who are forced to write nasty code, or their families will be killed.
Their goal, of course, is access to your financial information. Once they get it, you can be cleaned out in short order. This terrible code comes from:
1. Software you download
2. Email attachments
We have created a short video that shows you how it works and you can see it here:

Hopefully, you will have a better understanding of what these scumbags are doing once you see website theft in real time.
