Auction Sites Trafficking Stolen Goods Online
Copyright 2006 Jim Edwards
Ah yes, eBay! The online auction giant that makes all your dreams come true for finding that special something you can't find anywhere else.
It's like a giant garage sale in the sky.
Unfortunately, eBay's size makes it easy for people to sell stolen or unauthorized merchandise and not get caught.
To their credit, I think eBay does as much as humanly possible to police their site and shut down any offenders quickly.
However, I recently discovered that plenty of mischief still occurs, especially with downloadable products.

The first was an automated message from eBay telling me about an auction selling an ebook about writing ebooks.
Another email came in from a good customer who sent me a link to another auction on eBay that, to them, "looked suspicious."
I clicked on the...
Internet Marketing Mistakes that Traditional Business Owners make part 5
The fifth mistake in Internet marketing, and personal soap box for me, is made by business owners who do not give their clients or prospects any hooks or freebies.Too many web sites do not use the biblical law of reciprocity in their Internet marketing campaigns. The law of giving BEFORE you receive. This is also true in a lot of offline methods, but for this article, we will concentrate in Internet marketing methods.If you want a lead or prospect to leave their contact details with you, you must give them a compelling reason with your Internet marketing to do so. In exchange you could send out a free report, an audio interview, a DVD, an audit, a 7 part course or even a gift certificate.When you plug this into your overall Internet marketing strategies, you will convert a lot more leads into sales. The hooks need not be expensive to fulfill, but it must have high perceived value.
Mention the exact price of value, make the invisible, visible.At our website, we give away free audios,...

The smaller the gathering is, the better for a beginner to gain confidence.
Prepare well on the subject keeping in view the target audience ? their age and intellectual level ? and the time allotted. Make the best use of books, magazines, subject experts and the Internet to prepare a concise write-up on the topic. Be clear about what you want to convey.
A speech supported by visuals can be most impressive; it also helps divert the attention of the audience from the speaker to the pictures.
But take care not to go overboard with the slides. Too many special effects can overshadow the content and defeat...
