There is a RIGHT WAY & WRONG WAY to do everything.

All successful marketing comes down to modeling the Success of others. If we choose not to become educated, or not to follow that which is being taught by someone who knows what they are doing, whose fault is that?

With that said, IT IS BETTER TO TAKE ACTION, than to sit on your hands and do nothing. Just remember, action alone does not guarantee success. You must constantly refine your methods and systems, it is an ongoing process, and you absolutely must be willing to take direction from those who have accomplished the results you want and …………..NOBODY ELSE!

As you have heard may say many times there are a lot of people in the market place trying to teach people “How to do” that which they have “NEVER DONE”. Be very careful who you listen to.

If it sound like I am ranting, maybe I am. As many of you know I have been testing Ebay selling methods and opportunities for several years. I primarily use Ebay as a lead generation tool for my consulting, coaching services. I have had as many as 7 different Ebay businesses ALL of which reached the Ebay “Power Seller” status.

In fact if you go directly to mlmhelpauctions.com right now you will see the  logo 

I know what I am talking about.

If I have one more person tell me that selling on Ebay doesn’t work….I am just going to throw up!I don’t care if you are selling on Ebay to make $$$ or create leads, if you follow a few simple rules, IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!

My dad is making money weekly selling golf balls and golf items. Danny who works with me here at the office went on a nice vacation to the beach with his wife this year, primarily from extra cash he generated with Ebay, Craigs List & Google Adwords. My sister buys and sells her daughters wardrobe on Ebay every Spring and Fall and made almost $2,000 in 3 weeks this spring, all on Ebay.

I have dozens of students and people who have invested in my course at www.FundedProsposals.com who are creating leads monthly with Ebay and other students from my www.OnlineAuctionU.com site that are creating cash on demand and who have become Power Sellers themselves with Ebay and online auctions!

BELOW ARE 8 STEPS YOU NEED TO FOLLOW TO HELP INSURE YOUR SUCCESS. IF YOU DON’T FOLLOW THESE STEPS THEN SUCCESS WILL BE DIMINISHED.

1) Don’t get greedy or creative with the postage fees you charge. Listen if you are trying to make money on the postage fees, people aren’t stupid, they see that and they resent it. Charging $6.00 to send a DVD that you can mail anywhere in the country for about a $1.80 will not work. I understand that there are “gurus” who are teaching this method but all they are doing is hurting your credibility if you follow this advice. I see nothing wrong if your S&H fees cover you actual cost, listing fees and a a few pennies for your supplies, but if you consistently over charge for postage Ebay buyers will BLACKBALL YOU!

2) If your goal is to develop leads then all you really want to do is break even on the front end. If I go to a book store and find a marketing book that retails for $24.00 and I buy it for $2.25, I am NOT going to try to start the bid at $15.00. I will start the bid for $2.25 or $2.99 plus a fair P&H rate. If I cover my investment & create a lead I WIN!

My goal is to create a lead, not make $10.00 on the sale of a book. Plus just because I start the bid at $2.99 doesn’t mean it will end there, it could sale for $5.00, $10.00, or more. I have faith that huge Ebay market place will bid items up to a fair amount.

3) Use good descriptions. Don’t short cut this step. Here is a tip. If I selling a program Called XYZ Success. I recommend that you do a search for XYZ Success. Try to find where the item is being sold at retail. Then pull your description from that site. Not necessarily word for word, but I see nothing wrong with copying the description from the retail site, pasting it into your Ebay description and then changing it up a little. Yes, most of the time on Ebay people are familiar with the item they are bidding on, but not always so write good descriptions.

4) USE 1 Picture. If you are selling books, DVD’s, CD’s and other training materials more than one picture is a waste of money. With other high end items multiple pictures can be a plus but with educational materials, you need 1 picture, just so the person knows you actually have what you are selling. There is a fee for every picture after your 1st one and there is no value in multiple pictures.

5) Don’t use special features such as sub category, bolding etc. they cost you money and there is no need. Why we are on the subject listing fees, never start any item at between $10.00 - $10.99. As soon as you go over $9.99 you are paying more for the listing. If I see someone starting an item at $10.00 I know this person is an unexperienced Ebayer because they could have started the auction for 1 penny less, $9.99 and saved 15 cents in initial listing fees.

6) Establish your policies and place them at the end of every auction. Ours for my www.MLMHelpAuctions.com account simply says:

MLMHelpAuctions Policies.  Please make payment within 3 days of auction ending via paypal.  We also accept your personal check, cashiers checks, money orders, or your personal credit card.  All items are sent within 24 hours of receiving payment.  We appreciate your business and leave feedback for all our bidders. S&H on this huge package is 9.00 Priority Mail.

7) USE AN ABOUT ME PAGE. It is FREE and I talk about this extensively in my 21 Ways to Create Online MLM Leads course. It is 100% FREE to set up and gives you a great opportunity to piggy back on Ebay’s huge traffic and receive clicks to your personal website. Again, NO ABOUT ME PAGE says no experience.

8) Start the majority of your Auctions on Sunday night between 9:30 – 11:30 EST. I use the phrase “go where the traffic is” a lot in my trainings. Ebay is one of the Top 5 visited sites on the Internet, so they definitely have the traffic and the majority of Ebay’s traffic is online on Sunday evenings between 9:30 – 11:30 EST. So if you do a 7 day auction, which you should, then you want your items to end at the exact time.

Twitter allows users, called Twitterers, to stay constantly connected with friends and family by sending and receiving short messages called Tweets. Those who are interested in someone’s random musings can subscribe to his or her Twitter feed.The free service is part of the broader online social networking trend sweeping the country. It has enjoyed such strong success in Northern California’s Silicon Valley that Twitter Inc. recently raised $15 million in funding at a valuation of nearly $100 million.

MLM Leaders can use Twitter to model the correct daily activities for their downline.

A great “teaching by example” tool.

OUR READERS WRITE…

Mr. Calvert,

My name is Shawna Perry and I have been wanting to send you an email for quite some time.

Briefly, my start in network marketing was slow and after about 6 weeks I was ready to quit. My upline gave me copy of your STREAK WHEN YOU SLUMP CD and needless to say it got be back on track.

I Started following the system and the word for word script in your Proven MLM Scripts document. I started getting results.

Everything wasn’t perfect, but along the way my upline continued to give me different CD’s that helped me stay focused on My Reasons and not the work as you say.

Frustrated and Anxious I listed to at least 20 times and the “Mad or Excited” CD took me over the top! I think I have listed to all the CD’s in the Pure Motivation set and now want to order a set to have for my team when they need
them.

I have been with my company for 7 months and this month my check went over $1,000.00 for the first time. No I am
not getting rich, but as you said “It is harder to get your check to $1,000 a month than it is $10,000. I know I am
on my way and I also know if not for my upline giving me

Your CD’s at the time I needed to hear the message I would have never made it this far.

I am on my way thanks to you and an upline who is a real leader!

Thank You,

Shawna

DALE’S COMMENTS
This message is much more significant that it may appear to be. We can all learn a lot here.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”

Real leaders are in touch with their people and understand emotionally the aggravation and frustrations they are going through.

Leadership is about sharing with people the right tool (from a 3rd party) at the right time their team member needs to hear it. Leaders talk too much! Remember, if you say it they doubt it, if someone else says it, they hear it and believe it!

If you aren’t in touch with your team members frustrations and emotion, this is impossible.

In the PURE MOTIVATION CD set we feature 10 of the best talks I have given over the years.

I can promise you that as you listen to each CD you will think of someone on your team that needs to hear the training
immediately.

That is the real power of this set. It is not just about what you will receive from the training put more importantly the people on your team who will be given the extra push and motivationto persist.

If you get what I am trying to communicate here, I am going to make you a very special offer that runs now through July 4th. July 5th it ends!

SAVE $20 ON THIS SET FROM NOW UNTIL JULY 4TH

Here is what you need to do.

Go to www.PureMotivation.com and read the website, take some time and read about each CD and as you do you will probably be thinking of people on your team that probably need to hear that message RIGHT NOW!

Place your order for the CD’s and when you get to the check out page insert CODE PM20 and you will receive
FREE PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING plus a $20 discount on this training!!
