The Auction Profit Machine- A review
Selling information products on the Internet must be the easiest business in the world.
Hardly any product or delivery costs and practically 100% profit on any sale. In fact you would think it is the kind of business you could not fail in, but thousands of people do.
So why is that? Perhaps it appears so simple that people do not think there is any need to do any preparation or gain any knowledge. As someone who has been selling information online for quite a few years now let me tell you that if you take this attitude then you are wrong.
The more you know about the business before you start, the fewer mistakes you will make and the more likely you are to become a successful information seller. If you like the idea of selling information products on eBay then Jeff Johnson and Rob Pietras have produced an excellent guide to help you.
The Auction Profit Machine covers every aspect of selling information through online auctions. The 98-page e-book is divided into 2 parts. The first deals with finding or creating products and the second half concentrates on making the sale.
Jeff and Rob use very mush a step-by-step approach. This makes it easy for a complete novice to follow the various stages and build their own eBay information business following the plan. What I like about this book is that the authors make you aware of the various options available to you, such as digital versus physical delivery of a product, the advantages and disadvantages of the various information media. With this kind of information you can decide which is best suited for you and your business.
Another feature that newcomers to information publishing will find useful are 2 videos that are included in the package. The first shows how to create a listing specifically for a downloadable product. (As we know, with eBay’s rules on downloadable products get this wrong and your listing could be pulled, or worse.)
The second video shows you how to download and use Filezilla a no cost FTP
Software program. I had not come across this program before but it is exceptionally easy to use and ideal for loading downloadable products to your web site for digital delivery.
Compared to some of the e-books on the market at present on the same subject I think this is one of the best. If you have ever thought of going into what is after all the very low risk business of information publishing this is the book for you.
