1. Stop procrastinating and get on eBay!
==================================

A question from a reader:

I have bought your book "The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay" and "Turn Auction Traffic Into Cash" - these are the greatest books and resources around. I'm also a fan of your informative newsletter and now your blog.

However here is my problem, I am a big procrastinator, I seem to always look for ways of putting off getting started, fear of failure I think.

I know that you had dedicated a newsletter article about procrastination however I'll be darned if I can find it, was hoping to re read for some inspiration.

I'm wondering if you are able to link me up with that article?

Jim's Answer:
============

Information overload is likely at the root of your problem.

If you aren't seeing results on the Internet yet it's likely that you are still trying to figure out "what really works" like so many others.

You may even be listening to people that have never had success on the Internet themselves (except selling "how to" information).

Or how about this one...

I've been guilty at times of taking on too many Internet projects and not giving any of the projects on my plate adequate attention.

I got an email from a reader of this newsletter. He's finally seeing steady progress and income every week and he had this to say,

"...(your book at) SilentSalesMachine.com is far and away the best starting point for someone who is lost and jumping around the internet trying to make money..."

I couldn't have said it better myself. I wrote that book specifically for that reason.

After struggling with other ideas he said he found my book, applied the ideas, and is now brining in several hundred per week and growing.

Do you need my book to make money on the Internet? Of course not - I'm not saying that!

There is ONE BIG REASON that you will likely struggle with nearly any other Internet bizop as your starting point though. The fact is that no matter what approach you take to Internet success you need one thing...

That one thing is ***TRAFFIC***.

You can't make a dime with a gorgeous website if you don't have traffic.

The opposite is also true...

You can make a bunch of dough with an awful concept if you have a lot of traffic.

Where can you find almost guaranteed traffic that will allow you to test unlimited ideas at a nominal cost?

EBay.com - that's where! That's why I think you should start right there.

There has never been a lower risk business with insanely low barriers to entry and amazing upside potential than eBay. Hundreds of thousands of people are making a living using eBay - I'm sure many of them aren't nearly as smart as you are. Get going!

Put some creativity into an eBay biz and watch your success take root.

2. Buying inventory in bulk isn't complicated!
=======================================

Do you often wonder where all those successful eBay sellers get their inventory?

Many of them buy inventory in bulk and it's not that complicated or risky to do the same thing yourself...if you know the correct strategy.

To help those that are considering investing (as little as $100) in some inventory to sell on eBay I've just scheduled an interview with the CEO of one of the top companies in the surplus inventory business. They deal a lot in customer returns and overstock. They have a bigger than 60,000 square foot facility FULL of inventory that they will sell to eBay sellers.

The CEO of the company has agreed to let me ask him some tough questions. I told him this isn't a "press release" type interview - this is going to be in depth and only made available to my most loyal customers.

For example - one of the questions I'm going to ask him is, "If your mom wanted to start selling on eBay and asked you what inventory she should buy from you what would you tell her?"

If you have any ideas for questions you'd like me to ask him let me know by visiting the blog (link below) and leave a comment. I'll take the time to get all his answers recorded and put the full interview on the resource page.

I'll be posting the entire unedited interview to the "Silent Sales Machine" resource page. Remember - the resource page is only available to those that buy a copy of (or have ever bought a copy of) "The Silent Sales Machine" - available here: www.silentsalesmachine.com

I plan to post the article within a week! I'll let you know when it's ready.

Visit the blog to get an update or post your idea for questions for the CEO.

***QUICK**TIPS***
=================

Here in the U.S. it's time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Don't let the true meaning be lost.

I am very grateful for all of God's blessings as I'm sure many readers of this newsletter are.

I hope you'll share what you've been blessed with if you can...and get back something great in return!

Here's how:

Henry Griner is a long time, avid reader of this newsletter who happens to be the father of a fine young man preparing to serve his country by going to Afghanistan with his Army unit.

Henry would like to visit his son, his son's young bride and baby all temporarily stationed in Germany awaiting deployment.

Rather than ask for a handout Henry has put together a HUGE list of amazing products that you can get for a steal. Henry began approaching experts and authors several weeks ago to put the huge package together.

Help Henry go see his son before he ships out - and get a GREAT package of products to improve and grow your Internet biz. I've met Henry and worked with him. Trust me - you couldn't be helping a nicer more deserving guy.

Here's the link to help yourself while you help Henry:
