<p>Tell me your first name and I will use it to get your attention whenever I<br />
want to. What would you do if you heard someone scream out your name in a crowded shopping mall? Of course &#8211; you would turn around and look to see if it was someone you knew.</p>
<p>The truth is&#8230; there are psychological factors at play in this situation.</p>
<p>The same thing happens whenever you see your own name in print.</p>
<blockquote><p>“A person&#8217;s first name is arguably the most attention getting word that you can use on any web page or printed material.”<br />
– Skylr</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s why Personalized URL Marketing came to be such a powerful tool in both online and offline marketing.</p>
<p>Think about the concept of personalization for a moment. Imagine you are receiving an email or even a card in the mail from a friend of yours. They don’t write, “Dear Friend”.</p>
<p>They personalize the note directly to you. They write something like “Hi Joe” or “Dear Mary”. That’s because they are familiar with you and that closeness is felt in part because they know your name and who you are.</p>
<p>How Does This Relate to Internet Marketing?</p>
<p>Have you ever heard the quote that “People buy from other people that they know, like and trust.” ? Well, it’s true and it is your job as a marketer to build relationships with the people that are on your list and let them know that you are someone to “know, like and trust”.</p>
<p>Using personalization is just one way to accomplish this. How else can you do it? Well, you can send thank you cards, birthday cards, hold special customer appreciation events, pick up the phone and reach out to them and so much more.</p>
<p>But since this article is about personalization, let me show you two ways that you can use personalized URLs in your marketing.</p>
<p>Use it with your Email Marketing</p>
<p>Imagine being able to send your entire email list to a Personalized URL? You can, by using the personalization tools inside your autoresponder program and giving your entire list their very own personalized url.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you have a guy on your email list and his name is John Smith.</p>
<p>John will receive an email from you with a highly targeted message that lets John know that he can get more information by going to:</p>
<p>www.yourdomaingoeshere.com/John-Smith</p>
<p>Do you think John will be curious about why you created a web page on your website that has his name on it?</p>
<p>You bet he will.</p>
<p>Once John clicks the link, he will be taken to any page you want (landing page, video sales letter, etc.) and John will see a headline and offer that seems to be designed specifically for him and only him.</p>
<p><strong>Your page is literally speaking DIRECTLY to John!</strong></p>
<p>Use a Personalized URL to Increase Your Direct Mail Response</p>
<p>Personalized URL Marketing also works wonders with direct mail campaigns.</p>
<p>Imagine that you specialized in helping independent Jewelry Store Owners to get more customers. You could take a list of prospects and send them a postcard with a personalized headline and url.</p>
<blockquote><p>Attention: John Smith &#8211; Would You Like To Know The Secret To Getting a Flood of New Customers Coming Into Your Jewelry Store?</p>
<p>Go to this special page I created just for you:</p>
<p>www.yourdomaingoeshere.com.com/John-Smith</p></blockquote>
<p>Whatever your niche is, by adding your prospect&#8217;s name to your marketing, you are increasing the likelihood that your prospect will pay attention to your offer and take action by clicking on your links or visiting your website to get more information.</p>
<p>Everything we do as marketers revolves around engaging our customers, providing tremendous value and of course &#8211; making more sales because of it.</p>
<p>Isnʼt that what we all strive for?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/the-bloggers-roadmap-comprehensive-review/br_cover/" rel="attachment wp-att-2113"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2113" title="br_cover" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/br_cover.jpg" alt="" width="108" height="133" /></a>Everyone should have a blog online, it&#8217;s the most important site you will ever create <strong>bar none</strong>. It helps your readers connect with you and find out what you&#8217;re really about. If done right you can generate traffic, build your income and make massive profits while creating an army of followers.</p>
<p>However, there is a problem? Not everyone knows how to start a blog that is going to bring these sort of results. You see so many people starting blogs, posting a few articles and then giving up due to lack of traffic, content, comments etc. This happens because those people are doing it wrong.</p>
<p>So when I found out that blogging expert, Daniel Sumner had put together a comprehensive guide called The Bloggers Roadmap I had to find out more. After reading The Bloggers Roadmap from cover to cover here are my thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>First of all let&#8217;s look at the product.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Bloggers Roadmap is a complete guide to setting up and profiting from your very own blog. It&#8217;s a 22,000 word, 68 page eBook and Daniel has poured everything he knows about blogs and blogging into a single guide. It&#8217;s very well written and covers everything you need to know. Here&#8217;s a sneak peek inside.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thebloggersroadmap.com/" rel="attachment wp-att-2102"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2102" title="bloggers_roadmap_contents" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bloggers_roadmap_contents.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="952" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thebloggersroadmap.com/" rel="attachment wp-att-2078"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2078" title="bloggers_roadmap_tip" src="http://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bloggers_roadmap_tip.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="125" /></a>Throughout the guide Dan has added tons of &#8216;blog tips&#8217; to give you more ideas and I must say these are great little additions. There is also an upsell priced at $19.99 that is a collection of video tutorials created by Dan. Again, these are well presented and walk you through the actual physical process of setting up your own blog, although the videos are not a requirement, if you feel you are a beginner in the blogging world they would probably help you get more from the product.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Who is this product for?</strong></p>
<p>This product is for anyone that owns their own blog or wants to learn how to create and profit from their own blog. As this product only focuses on blogging if you don&#8217;t own a blog or never intend to then this product would be no good to you as it only covers blogging techniques. However, anyone who owns a blog or wants to learn how to create one can&#8217;t fail to benefit from this content as it covers everything you need to know in a step by step manner.</p>
<p><strong> Does it work?</strong></p>
<p>The fact Daniel has built a considerable blog following would make me say yes, after all if you create a product about blogging you better have a successful blog yourself, Daniel has and should you need to find out more you can <a href="http://www.dansumnerblog.com/" target="_blank">check out Daniels Blog here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Negatives.</strong></p>
<p>The only real negative I can find is you have to pay more for the video training, however I feel this is actually done with the customers interests at heart as the eBook is so reasonably priced on it&#8217;s own at $5.95. Daniel has considered this and understands not everyone will want the extra training and those that do will only have to pay a small premium.</p>
<p>All in all is The Bloggers Roadmap is all you need for blogging success? The answer is yes, as long as you are prepared to work at your blog, this is not a magic bullet and it does take work, but if you are prepared to work I believe this is <em>the finest blogging product you will ever find</em>. Blogging products are few and far between and this product is something you can refer to time and again to help you succeed in the blogging world and it comes with my highest recommendation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Broads Boat" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/broads_boat.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="116" />I&#8217;m on vacation this week in the Norfolk Broads, I think it&#8217;s important to get away from the computer once in a while so I prepared this post before I left, this is one cool feature of wordpress, I actually wrote this post before I left and scheduled it to appear while I was away, I also scheduled aweber to mail out while I&#8217;m away, pretty cool I think <img src="https://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Before I came away I had a play around with a new software tool I got from Randy Smith (Randy works for me part time helping with my Partnership Program, and as he credits me with his own success over the last 6 years &#8211; he always gives me access to his latest products)</p>
<p>I have to say that this latest product is pretty amazing, and I&#8217;m sure Randy wont mind me saying it&#8217;s beyond his technical ability to write the software! What he did was team up with a coding expert he actually met at my office.</p>
<p>Simon Phillips came up for the day as part of a bonus package for something I promoted,  Randy was there that day for our monthly meet up, and the rest as they say is history!</p>
<p>That in itself shows how taking action and putting all those bonuses to use can have a serious impact on your business. By making the trip to my office to claim his bonus, Simon met Randy, Dave Nicholson my Son Alex and myself.</p>
<p>That lead to Randy &amp; Simon beginning a project together which has resulted in an amazing tool that I&#8217;m now using myself!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s essentially a Link Cloaking &amp; Redirection software, but what makes it stand apart from all the others I&#8217;ve used over the years are a few special extras that they gave serious thought to when coding it.</p>
<p>You see Randy always claims to be non-techy, and even though he seems to cope well these days, he&#8217;s managed to keep hold of the ability to break most things by treating them as a newbie would, whereas Simon is so tech savvy, Dave and I had him recode parts of our own software to improve it for our last wso.</p>
<p>Between them they have both played to their strengths and developed the EASIEST to install software I&#8217;ve ever seen. It really is SIMPLE with just ONE file to upload.</p>
<p>No cPanel, No Databases, Usernames, passwords etc. to mess about with, and yet so powerful and with so many added extras &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t resist using it myself!</p>
<p>They also added a feature to make &#8216;Social Sharing&#8217; a one click function to help promote all our links and hot pages, and all this as well as having the option to create cloaked or uncloaked link redirects. Add to those the hit tracking feature, SEO friendly editable links &amp; pages and the simplicity of how it all works, and you end up with Professional Looking, Click Friendly links that will undoubtedly maximize your commissions, get you more traffic and brand your domain!</p>
<p>As I wanted to make sure you had the chance to check out Randy &amp; Simon&#8217;s product while I was on vacation, I also wanted to make sure you got a great deal on the software!</p>
<p>So I spoke to Randy about putting together some special bonuses. Before we cover those, I want to take a moment to explain why I&#8217;m promoting a product in<br />
this post:</p>
<p>At the end of the day, I always try to encourage all my subscribers &amp; students to make sure their products offer great value, and by doing so &#8211; they become honest ethical and professional marketers!</p>
<p>So when I ask which looks more professional:</p>
<p>Links from an online URL shortener like &#8211;</p>
<p>http://bit.ly/5y6dfh3 &#8212; http://budurl.com/RandysBlog &#8212; http://tinyurl.com/7s9pdsk</p>
<p>Or raw affiliate links like &#8211;</p>
<p>http://a9fda24k-8ggj07mws3jg74o2t.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SSLC</p>
<p>Or the ones I prefer to use with my own domain and a recommends link attached at the end, and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree branding your own domain always wins!</p>
<p>What has always stopped a lot of my readers from using their own domain was the tech side of setting these folder and redirects up in the first place, well with Randy &amp; Simon&#8217;s software and the ease of install and use, there is no reason for all my readers not to start reaping the benefits today!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://linksupercharger.com/johnspecial/" target="_blank">http://linksupercharger.com/johnspecial</a></strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Link Supercharger" src="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/linksuperchargersmallbox.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="169" />When the guys launched this last week, I knew it would do well but I already had emails I&#8217;d promised to send out, hence Randy &amp; Simon launched it without my help whatsoever and their results were &#8216;Smokin Hot&#8217; (that covered my title now &#8211; the weather here, my Hot Page, and their results ;))</p>
<p>They had other big name affiliates jump on it due to how well the software does what it&#8217;s supposed to do, and how simple they made everything to install and use. Along with a complete set of videos explaining all the functions so even a green behind the ears newbie can follow along easily.</p>
<p>So much so that on top of the sales they were already getting &#8211; <strong>they achieved &#8220;Product Of The Day&#8221; on JVZoo for the 28th March</strong> and have been featured in the top ten products for the week and in the daily stats!</p>
<p>With quite literally several hundreds of buyers grabbing a copy at the discounted price!</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve been struggling with the technical aspects of link cloaking and redirection and you&#8217;d like to take advantage, here&#8217;s the special Randy has agreed to allow me to offer you.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><strong>He&#8217;s kept the 70% discount open for a massive saving.</strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s added an extra hundred places to an exclusive training webinar he will be holding</strong><strong><strong> (see page below for details)</strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s authorized me exclusively to give access to his &#8216;VideoSalesLettersABC&#8217; course as</strong><strong><strong> an extra bonus for my subscribers only!</strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>He even twisted my arm to add my Affiliate Promo Formula AND</strong><strong> the Affiliate Alliance Upsell (Over $200 Value)</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>I highly recommend you jump on the page below and follow the link to watch the demo videos of just how SIMPLE it is to both install and use the software!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://linksupercharger.com/johnspecial/" target="_blank">http://linksupercharger.com/johnspecial</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>And if nothing else &#8211; take on board the lessons here:-</p>
<ul>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to do it all alone</li>
<li>You do need to take action</li>
<li>You should always create products you can be proud of</li>
</ul>
<p>Basically, what I always say about keeping things honest &amp; ethical!</p></blockquote>
<p>Now if I have timed this email right and weather permitting I&#8217;d better go check that BBQ before it turns everything into black crispy lumps, and maybe get another beer out of the cooler <img src="https://johnthornhillonline.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

I mean PayPal must be one of the largest payment processors in the world.</p>
<p>Well as hard as I find it to write this blog post I feel I must share my experiences to save you from going down the same road I did as I have had nothing but frustrations for the last 10 weeks trying to set this up.</p>
<p>I had heard many great things about Infusionsoft and decided to check them out. You can see what they offer <a href="http://www.infusionsoft.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, Initially all I wanted to do was use their affiliate program and possibly use their autoresponder service at a later date. The plan was to put all of my products under one roof using one system. Now at $299 per month this was no cheap affiliate program but I decided to contact someone at Infusionsoft to ask about their service. This is where the problems started.</p>
<p>I asked if I would be able to use PayPal to accept recurring billing payments, I was told I would be able to do this no problem and was then told about the wonderful things Infusionsoft would do for my business. (If anyone from Infusionsoft reads this I still have the email from Scott Morrision telling me the setup with PayPal was possible)</p>
<p>So I decided to sign up and get things moving. Now remember I had done some research and while I consider myself to be quite technically experienced I knew this wasn&#8217;t going to be easy to set up so I had to get the help of a programmer to set things up.</p>
<p>Without boring you with the details I have now gone through 3 programmers and none of them can set this up for me, the reason they can&#8217;t set this up is it can&#8217;t be done and Infusionsoft have acknowledged it but that&#8217;s not where my problem lies.</p>
<p>You see, during all of this time I have had to contact Infusionsoft support numerous times and I must say their support is non existent.</p>
<ul>
<li>They will tell you anything to get you off the phone.</li>
<li>They don&#8217;t reply to support tickets.</li>
<li>They pass you to another department which sends you to an answerphone.</li>
<li>They promise to ring you back but never do (this has happened numerous times)</li>
<li>The guy you need to speak to is always &#8216;in a meeting&#8217; or &#8216;away from his desk&#8217;.</li>
<li>ETC, ETC.</li>
</ul>
<p>They simply don&#8217;t seem to care about their customers, now remember this is a $299 per month service we are talking about here. Not some $10 product.</p>
<p>Anyway, to cut a long story short last week I decided to go with a different company and got set up in 3 days, if only I had done this in the first place. So I contacted Infusionsoft to cancel my account and request a refund of the $900 they have as they mis-sold me their product.</p>
<p>After submitting a support ticket last week and making 3 phone calls yesterday and being &#8216;promised a reply by close of business today&#8217; guess what!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still waiting!</p>
<p>Now get this, I can&#8217;t cancel my account unless I talk to someone at billing. When you contact billing you get an answerphone, but what&#8217;s the point of leaving a message as they don&#8217;t respond.</p>
<p>My next payment of $299 is due on the 23rd of May and I have given up trying to cancel my account. I am simply going to do a chargeback.</p>
<p>How a company that is supposed to help the Internet Marketer can treat a customer like this is beyond me. I may receive some flack for this post but as one of my blog readers I must warn you, if you value your business stay well away from Infusionsoft.</p>
<p>This whole experience has probably cost me in the region of $30,000 as I am now 10 weeks late with an evergreen product launch. Let&#8217;s just hope this blog post prevents a few people going through the same experience I have.</p>
<p>They will tell you what you want to hear to make a sale but that&#8217;s where the communication ends.</p>
<p>If anyone from Infusionsoft reads this please cancel my account so I don&#8217;t have to perform a chargeback. My username is &#8216;planetsms&#8217;</p>
<p>Rant over!</p>
<p><strong>[Update]</strong> A lot of people are asking what service I have switched to. At the moment I just put the product in question on <a href="https://www.clickbank.com/" target="_blank">ClickBank</a>. That&#8217;s one company who value their customers who I&#8217;ve never had an issue with in 5 years. If i do go with an all in one system I can recommend I will let you guys know.</p>
<p><strong>[Update 2]</strong> <strong>I&#8217;ve just received this email from Infusionsoft:</strong></p>
<p><em>Hi John, I tried to call you but there was no answering service. So am emailing you this response. My name is Clay Jeppsen. I am an Account Manager here at Infusionsoft, yesterday I received an email from my boss to contact you regarding your request to cancel. By the time I opened the email it was already late in the evening there in the UK. We are in Arizona, 9 hours difference. It proved to be a poor choice of me to wait and call you today. For that I apologize. And I am sincerely sorry for the fact that Infusionsoft was not able to get your project off the ground. I believe it is still a bug that our tech support is trying to fix, but that is not your problem. And, Infusionsoft is not in the business of taking peoples money. We are in the business of growing businesses; this is what we pride ourselves on. For that reason I have refunded 897.00 American dollars back to your Visa and canceled your account. I hope this helps towards your future endeavors and time lost with Infusionsoft. Like I said, we would have preferred a more prolific outcome. If we are going to part, I hope we can at least agree on one thing &#8211; that we wanted you to be successful with our product. Your success brings us success. That is healthy for the both of us. I wish you the best in the future. If you have any questions for me please call or email me.</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a shame it took this blog post to get action but there you have it. You have to love the power of the Internet and social media, thanks everyone for your support, I truly appreciate it.</p>
<p><strong>[Update 3] Yet another response from Infusion, it&#8217;s strange how they suddenly want to communicate with me now.</strong></p>
<p><em>John,</em></p>
<p><em>I have to say when I woke up this morning, checked Twitter and saw a  handful of mentions to your blog post, I was disappointed to say the  least. I was disappointed because I know great lengths Infusionsoft has  made (and continues to make) to deliver exceptional service to all  users. I am glad we’ve taken steps to resolve this as quickly as we  have.</em></p>
<p><em>I hope you understand that we earnestly worked hard to earn your  business and legitimately wanted to help you and your business grow. Our  app had all the functions you desired, but it seems the point of  failure was on the merchant processing needs. We have hundreds and  possibly thousands of users who successfully use our app with PayPal  Payflow Pro for recurring billing. I know this wasn’t what you expected  and I totally understand why it was frustrating.</em></p>
<p><em>I would like to point out that we have been on top of the support  cases you submitted. I wouldn’t exactly say we were “non-existent” nor  have we pushed you off the phone. We take sincere pride in our 92%  customer satisfaction and work hard to push that even higher. We will  made necessary accommodations to keep our users happy and their  businesses growing. We’ve listened to our customer feedback on help and  have made numerous improvements to our Help Center — clearing away the  unnecessary and providing more detailed articles, tutorials and helpful  videos for users. To date, our support team’s support case ratings have  averaged at 4.54 out of 5.0 which leads us to believe most users receive  timely, satisfactory service.<br />
We accept and apologize for the difficulty in reaching our account  management team. We have sent an internal communication to advise all  employees on how to properly handle such concerns. While this does not  ameliorate your concerns directly, it will help us improve and provide  even better service for all our users.</em></p>
<p><em>And one last point — and I want your readers to hold us to this – we  commit to following up with every customer concern within one business  day. We know it’s unacceptable to wait for a response from a modern,  upstanding company and we’re stepping up to the plate to provide  excellent service to everyone. We’ve grown quite a bit and that’s no  excuse to accept inferior service. Conversely, we will take all the  steps to hold our customers accountable once they use our app to use it  successfully and accept our guidance in making the most from the app.  After all, we’re both in this game and want to keep our customers happy.  <img src="../wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /></em></p>
<p><em>I hope you understand we meant this response with the best of  intentions. As I mentioned to you on Twitter, any person who endured  such a bumpy experience would have been met with such compassionate and  rapid service from us. We’re a different company than we were before  (Google us and see what mistakes we’ve made in the past) and would like  to let you know that we welcome any feedback, suggestions and  improvements to make our app and service better.</em></p>
<p><em>Thanks for the feedback the opportunity to serve you better. Let us  know if you have any questions or feedback.</em></p>
<p><em>Warm Regards,</em></p>

<p><strong>Reply from John</strong><em><br />
</em></p>
<p>My only response to that is if you &#8216;take sincere pride&#8217; in 92% customer satisfaction that&#8217;s actually quite shocking as that means 8% of your customers are not satisfied with your service and you seem happy with that. If you were trading on eBay with 92% satisfaction nobody would buy from you and eBay would probably close you down.</p>

<p>Do you want to learn how the pro&#8217;s create sales pages that look amazing? Do  you want to learn what they know that &#8216;makes&#8217; people buy their products?</p>
<p>Of course you do! The fact is that everyone wishes they could make more  sales, regardless of what, when or how they are selling. Isn&#8217;t that the whole  point? To make as many sales as possible? I&#8217;m sure we can all agree that  regardless of how good the product is, if you have a crappy sales page you are  just wasting your time by driving traffic to it because no one will buy.<br />
There are so many people out there claiming to have the &#8216;magic fairy dust&#8217;  that will turn your product in to a cash cow. How many of those products have  you fallen victim to? Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m certain that there are some good  ones out there but it just seems like we&#8217;re being pulled in so many directions  all the time. How do you know which is the right one for you?</p>
<p>When it comes to selling a product there are a couple of things that are  just common knowledge&#8230;<br />
We all know it&#8217;s a numbers game and you have to get  your product in front of lots of people to make a few sales.<br />
We all know that  it&#8217;s important to explain the features and benefits of our product and make it  easy to understand.</p>
<p>Have you ever asked yourself why those things just don&#8217;t produce the  results you need? What are you doing wrong? Why do these “Other Guys” have such  success selling products of lesser quality?</p>
<p>Well, the answer has arrived. I just snatched up one of the first copies of  Omar Martin&#8217;s “Kick Ass Sales Pages”and the creative juices have been flowing  ever since. This is the same guy that brought us “High Performance Sales  Secrets” and “Winning The Sale”. I must say this new product tops the list. It  has truly opened my eyes to some simple things that I was just failing to do. I  have all kinds of ideas now on how I can convert my sales pages into killer cash  producing money machines!</p>
<p>This product is so much more than just an eBook. It is a full training  course loaded with demonstrations and training videos. The best part of it is  that you&#8217;re not just learning from Omar himself. You see Omar is in fact a sales  expert and a very successful Internet marketer but what he has done is gotten 9  other expert marketers to share their sales secrets in this product including  your&#8217;s truly (that&#8217;s me). “Kick Ass Sales Pages” is essentially a compilation  (if you will) that gives you several angles on the necessary components to make  your sales page&#8230; well&#8230; “Kick Ass!”</p>

<p>Without a doubt this product is going to help boost my sales and it can do  the same for you. “Kick Ass Sales Pages”  will show you the keys to turning my  products into cash and by the way&#8230;  the bonus products that are being given as  part of the package will blow you away.  “Omarks!” is a product that provides a  sure fire way to make your customers eyeballs pop when they see your sales  pages. That product alone has got to be worth well over $200&#8230;  yet you get it  for free.  Honestly, I don&#8217;t know how he&#8217;s done it&#8230; I&#8217;m just glad he did! So  check it out right now.</p>

As you are probably aware, over the last few months eBay has made a ton of policy changes. It seems like eBay is making it harder for creative sellers to make a living using eBay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you are probably aware, over the last few months eBay has made a ton of  policy changes. It seems like eBay is making it harder for creative sellers  to make a living using eBay. And because of these policy changes it seems  that it&#8217;s even harder to find an up to date eBay guide.</p>
<p>Well what if I  told you the most comprehensive product ever created to show you how to  become creative and use eBay to your advantage has had a major  update?</p>
<p>Yes, allow me to introduce The Silent Sales Machine version  6.0. That&#8217;s right, version 6.0.</p>
<p>The author Jim Cockrum is probably the  most respected &#8216;eBay expert&#8217; on the planet. He wrote the original &#8216;Silent  Sales Machine&#8217; way back in 2002 and since then has sold almost 100,000  copies, it is probably the best selling eBay guide of all time. And the good  news is it has been brought right up to date with the release of  version 6.0.</p>
<p>When you visit the sales page by clicking the link below  you probably wont even be aware of the update. That&#8217;s because Jim hasn&#8217;t  even updated the sales page yet but he will soon, but don&#8217;t worry, you will  receive version 6.0 (and all future versions free) after you make your  payment. But you better hurry as once the page is updated the price will rise  so if you want to get The Silent Sales Machine for the best price ever now is  the time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.john-thornhill.com/recommends/silent_sales" target="_blank">The Silent Sales Machine</a></p>
<p>There  are some products every budding entrepreneur must own and I strongly believe  The Silent Sales Machine is one of these &#8216;must own&#8217; products. Don&#8217;t delay,  check it out now.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font size="2">I have nothing but                          great things to say about John Thornhill and his                          coaching program. I&#8217;ve been around online for most of                          the last 10 years and I&#8217;ve seen a lot of online                          marketers come and go, but very, very few have stood out                          above all of the hype and greed. John is one of them.                          I&#8217;ve followed his business for a long time, snatching up                          his products along the way, and I jumped at the chance                          to get in his coaching program. And it has been a real                          blessing. </font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font size="2">I&#8217;ve had trouble                          over the last couple years taking my business to the                          next level. I&#8217;ve struggled with a lack of focus, not                          having the mindset of treating my business as more than                          a hobby and lacking the drive to move forward. John&#8217;s                          coaching problem has pushed me past this point and I am                          now in overdrive.</font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font size="2">Besides this, John                          packs his program FULL of solid information. Everything                          I needed was provided to move me from right where I was                          to successfully marketing a product online. And it was                          all provided in easy-to-follow step-by-step weekly                          modules. He also over-delivered, as he always does, and                          I expect his future coaching sessions will have even                          more. I was so impressed that I signed up for his                          advanced coaching program and I plan on staying in the                          program on a permanent basis. </font></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who knows anything about me knows I have always stated the best way to  make a real online income is by creating as many income streams as possible.  For me personally this is usually done by creating new eBooks and  websites.</p>
<p>In fact anyone who has read my best selling eBook &#8216;Auction  Profit Streams&#8217; <a href="http://www.auctionprofitstreams.com/" target="_blank">http://www.auctionprofitstreams.com/</a><em> </em>will know the phrase &#8216;many streams make a river&#8217;. What that basically means  is you may not make much money from one income stream but you can  make a  lot of money from multiple income streams that can turn your business from a  small &#8216;stream&#8217; into a raging &#8216;river&#8217;.</p>
<p>Well if you like creating niche  websites that can generate an affiliate income and as many income streams as  you like I&#8217;ve just found something that I think you are going to love.</p>
<p>In a hurry?<a href="http://www.planetsmsrecommends.co.uk/ebay_niche_store" target="_blank"> http://www.buildanichestore.com</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s  a complete solution to building eBay affiliate websites which automatically  attract free search engine traffic and which then automatically transfer this  traffic through to eBay who will pay you 65% of their earnings from sales you  generate.</p>
<p>The program is called  Build A Niche Store and the system they&#8217;ve created takes care of everything  for you.</p>
<p>Basically, in the space of about 10 minutes (once you are familiar with how      the software works) you can create a fully functional eBay affiliate website      targeted to the niche market of your choice. All you do is install the script (as per the simple  Manual instructions), choose your target market, choose your template  and press build. And after you have built one store you can build another, and another,  and another. In fact you can build as many stores as you wish.</p>
<p>These stores then automatically update as new products are listed for sale      and old listings expire from the eBay marketplace and the software has built      in development features which enable you to create new store pages, add content      to these pages, create content pages, modify your template etc etc.</p>
<p>Your store content is all search engine friendly which will provide the foundation      for attracting targeted traffic from the search engines and you can then use      the development features to attract more targeted visitors which will in turn      mean more eBay affiliate commissions.</p>
<p>It really is a brilliant concept and I’ve been hearing great things      about the guys behind the project and the member forum which you get lifetime      access to when you purchase the product.</p>
<p>Build A Niche Store comes with a step by step user manual which will walk      even the most technically inexperienced through setting up their eBay affiliate      website, 9 professional template layouts which can be customized (from inside      your admin panel) to match your target niche, lifetime member forum access,      comprehensive product support and possibly most importantly – an UNLIMITED      domain license which means you can build as many of these niche websites as      you want for the small one time fee.</p>
<p>The  official Build A Niche Store website has a live demo set up and some great  case studies showing you what you will be able to do with the  software.</p>
<p>My advice &#8211; check this one out&#8230;</p>
