Your eBay questions answered!

Wow... when I told you about the 99-cent trial of Derek Gehl's

brand-new eBay training system, I really opened a can of worms!

Since then I've been flooded with questions from people wanting

to know why I'm suddenly singing the praises of eBay, instead

of focusing on how to help people become successful with a

"regular" online business.

It's not an "either-or" situation, folks. You don't have to

choose between building your own "regular" online business or

getting started with eBay.

In fact, after having read Derek Gehl's new training system

-- The Insider Secrets to Selling on eBay -- I'd say anyone

who's doing one without the other is seriously missing out!

(Whether you have a "regular" business but aren't taking

advantage of eBay's massive value, OR you have a successful

eBay business but aren't doing anything to promote it off

eBay.)

So in order to clear up any confusion, I thought I'd take a

few moments to answer the top 3 questions I've received over

the past week or so regarding eBay:

===============================================================

Question #1: "Why eBay??? I want to make 'real' money, not

just make a few dollars selling junk for pennies!"

===============================================================

Here's a news flash... Selling "junk" on eBay is never going to

make you rich -- and it's not something I'd ever recommend.

The secret to eBay success is using key research tools to

discover what people are buying on eBay -- and how much they're

willing to spend. Then all you have to do is find a cheap

source of that product so you can buy it for less, then turn

around and sell it at a generous mark-up on eBay!

It's not rocket science... and there are no tricks and gimmicks

involved -- just steady, reliable income, and the chance to grow

a huge opt-in list of people you can sell other products to in

the future.

It might not be as "sexy" as the one-in-a-million chance of

launching a website that starts making 1000s of dollars

overnight. But it's way more of a sure thing -- and

personally, I find a guaranteed extra $1,000 a month

sexier than a distant long shot any day of the week!

===============================================================

Question #2: "I've been pouring all my free time and money

into my online business -- now you're saying I need to start

all over again with eBay?"

===============================================================

For goodness' sake, no! If you're smart, you should use eBay to

help you grow your "regular" online business -- not replace it!

Not only is eBay an excellent place to do valuable market

research -- so you know what your potential buyers are buying

(and why!) -- it also allows you to grow a huge opt-in list of

people you can sell to, before your off-eBay site is even up

and running!

Imagine that -- being able to drive thousands of interested

buyers to your site the very same day you launch it!

===============================================================

Question #3: "I already have a profitable online business. Why

should I bother with eBay?"

===============================================================

My answer is, I guess it depends on how happy you are with your

traffic numbers.

If you're getting so much traffic that it's crashing your server

and you literally don't know what to do with it, then you

probably don't want to use eBay to send more visitors to your

site.

BUT -- if you're getting less than 500 visitors a day, or if

you're getting more than that but your visitors aren't

converting to sales -- then you should seriously consider eBay.

It's a great way to drive highly targeted visitors to your site.

Remember, these are people you've found on the world's largest

marketplace, which means they're enthusiastic online shoppers!

They're exactly the kind of people you want to introduce your

products to.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding about how eBay can

help you grow your "regular" online business. If you're

P.S. I talked to Derek yesterday and he told me he has only a

few 99-cent trial copies of his eBay training system left. Once

they're gone, the only way you'll be able to get this powerful

new training system is by paying the full price of $197.

So hurry -- get your copy before they all fly off the shelves!
