eBay Videos Being Pulled Down Soon
Did you watch the FREE online business training videos I told you about the other day?

I'm talking about the ones Derek Gehl put together to PROVE that eBay is the fastest and easiest way to start making money online (potentially THOUSANDS of dollars every month)...

... even BEFORE you have a website!

If you've been working hard to build your own Internet business, but would like to start making profits even SOONER , you'll *definitely* want to watch these videos.

Derek spent the past few months working with his elite eBay mentors to evaluate the new rules that eBay adopted this year, and develop and test cutting-edge strategies to make the most of them...

... and he's turned what he's learned into the simple, three-step profit system that you'll discover when you watch the FREE videos.

First, he reveals the number one mistake that nearly EVERY new "eBayer" makes when they're getting started (it's a BIGGIE, and it can stop you COLD from ever making a PENNY)!

After that, he explains his secret, three-step formula for evaluating ANY item to determine if it'll be a HOT seller... teach you how to find hungry markets that are BEGGING to buy what you're selling...

... and wrap up his three-video series by looking at the three BIGGEST changes at eBay, and explaining EXACTLY how to take advantage of them to start profiting RIGHT AWAY (while everyone else is complaining about the changes)!

To learn how to start making SERIOUS money on the Internet the fastest, easiest way there is, follow this link to get instant access to the videos.

P.S. Derek says he'll only be able to make these videos available for a short while longer, to avoid diluting the secrets they reveal, so I strongly urge you to start watching them right away!

Thursday Inspiration—The Size of Dreams
For someone who has made his living by writing—in one way or another—for nearly 25 years, it's amazing how stuck I can get at times coming up with something to write a blog-size post about.

So as I struggled to figure out a good topic for today, I started looking through my old idea files and came upon some favorite quotes.

Inspiration!

Time for a new weekly series: Thursday Inspiration

So I'll start today with a favorite quote from actress Josie Bisset:

"Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them."

So true! Have you ever noticed how your deepest longings, your strongest dreams, always seem to be too big to reach? Yet by chipping away at them a little at a time, we manage to "grow" into them.

Keep dreaming... And keep growing!

New, free video series available on selling on eBay

Does it seem like eBay is out to get you?!

With all of their recent changes (everything from a new feedback system to increased fees), I wouldn't blame you for thinking they've turned their back on the "little guy."

But there's something you should know: while a LOT of people have been grumbling about all of the new rules that eBay has created, a few people are finding the new rules actually provide people with clear ADVANTAGES!

Take Derek Gehl at the Internet Marketing Center, for instance...

A few months ago, Derek and his team of elite eBay mentors started digging deep into the new changes, and testing revised strategies, and they quickly discovered that these changes actually give you MORE opportunities to make money on eBay than ever before!

Which means that, while everyone else is busy complaining and playing catch-up, YOU have the chance to get ahead of your competition...

... but ONLY if you understand how the new rules work, and know EXACTLY how to apply them.

To PROVE to everyone that eBay is actually making things easier for SERIOUS business owners, Derek's put together a FREE three-lesson video series that will walk you, step-by-step, through the BIGGEST changes, and explain, in detail, how you can use them to make potentially thousands of dollars a MONTH.

He'll show you how to INCREASE the number of bids you get on ANY item by manipulating WHERE your listings appear during a search... significantly RAISE your new "Detailed Seller Rating" to get a higher rating (and MORE sales)... DECREASE your regular eBay fees, even though fees have gone UP across the board... and a LOT more!

And by the end of the videos, you'll see that by EMBRACING eBay's change, you'll be able to beat even your toughest competitors to BIG profits!

Start watching them RIGHT AWAY. What have you got to lose?

What Painting My House Reminded Me About Internet Marketing
My time at the computer lately has been drastically reduced as I've tackled repainting a lot of my house. This is no slap a 10-foot ladder against the eaves painting project, either.

The house is a challenging one to paint, with four peaks that rise over 30 feet off the ground and what had once been rough-cut cedar trim to paint. I've hung out of attic windows and I've learned to control a 23-foot extension pole for my paint pad to paint a straight line on trim nearly 30 feet off the ground.

When I started, I had no idea how I was going to get the more challenging parts of it done. With each part of it that I did, though, I learned, and discovered new ideas to help me with the next, more challenging step.

Which is what reminded me of Internet marketing.

The process is very much the same.

You approach something you've never done before with no idea how you'll get it done. You tackle the easy elements of your campaign first and experiment with different methods to see what works.

You get new ideas that you apply to the more difficult elements. Eventually, you get done and find yourself not only in possession of a successfully completed campaign, but a lot of new knowledge as well.

If you feel intimidated by a project that looks unfamiliar and challenging, the best thing to do is to take the same approach as I did with painting.

Start with the parts of it that you feel comfortable with and learn as you go. You'll be surprised how much more capable you are of doing it than you think!
