1. Site flipping for fun & profit!
=====================
Several months ago I posted a simple video on my membership site that introduced the concept of "site flipping" and one eager member named Amir RAN with the idea. He's been doing great with it for months now.

Here's how it works...

Sites like this:

http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/

...sell multiple sites every day to eager bidders. These sites have to come from somewhere so why can't it be you selling them?

When I say "flipping" websites I mean fixing up and/or creating sites from scratch and then selling them to others. You don't have to have tech skills to do this! You can use outsourcing to have others do this for you for a few dollars per site! Here's a link to my recent blog article on outsourcing:

Here's a link to verified proof of how cool this business is as well as the step by step course that Amir just created (and I've reviewed):

2. Is eBay Dying?
=======================
Stats are showing us that eBay's traffic is down and many are eagerly asking what it means. Some are even joyful that eBay is taking a hit.

How do I feel about it all? Does any of this really matter?

I don't really care one way or another. I believe in free-enterprise so basically my feelings are this...

May the best ideas (and websites) win!

eBay still beats Craigslist.com and Amazon.com on the traffic tracking site Alexa.com though and I'm still doing great things on eBay as are many others I know.

Creativity is key!

When you use eBay as a TOOL instead of an "end game" or obsession it's still a great place to get started and thrive online. I've got plenty of proof of that!

But...there are alternatives you should be aware of.

eBay IS NOT the only game in town.

For example, check this out:

It's a great book by Steve Lindhorst one of our MySilentTeam.com contributing experts.

Bottom line:
Ignore the naysayers in any business. Look at what successful people are doing and take your lessons from them instead. Don't get emotionally invested in your business. Being a small operation means you can turn on a dime and go where the gold is. Right now I see gold on eBay and Amazon.

***QUICK**TIPS***

It's been awhile since I mentioned it, but I have a pretty cool Youtube.com account with several videos on various topics that I easily could be charging for!

Go to Youtube.com and do a search for "silentjimdotcom" and you'll see my collection. Be sure to leave feedback on anything you see and learn from!

If you have an idea for a video you'd like to see me make let me know and I'll do my best!

The last open invitation conference call we did a couple weeks ago was such a raging success (based on your feedback) that I will be doing another one very soon. Keep an eye on this newsletter and look for the announcement.

The first call was about eBay and some creative ways to succeed there. The call was posted on my blog on April 9th. www.jimcockrum.com/blog

The next call will be the basics of affiliate marketing - look for detail soon here and on my blog.
