Hello All,

Welcome to Week 35 of John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Training Masterclass Coaching Program.

Not many more weeks of training to go! Woo Hoo Happy Dance!

I have worked out I have about 4 more posts to go to complete this training series, and hopefully I can complete them in the next 2 weeks. If you read my last post (Are You Ready For The Challenge) you will know that the new styled ‘Thirty Day Challenge’ is about to begin and this year I would like to write about the challenge as I do it! (Well that’s the plan anyway! )

This training occurs once a year and this years challenge is about to start on the 1st of July. It has a new format with new content so I am really looking forward to doing the challenge as well as writing about my experiences with it. (If you want to join this years challenge click here: The Challenge!)

I need to hurry up and complete my master class training series before the challenge starts so with out further comment lets begin with this weeks tasks…….

Internet Marketing Masterclass Week 35: All Things eBay

This weeks training is a quick one!! Yay!! We were sent our usual welcome letter and tasks to do. No Videos! Yippy!!

Week 35 Summary

As you may or may not know John initially started his online journey like most people through selling on eBay. So in this weeks training we were given FREE lifetime access to his signature product ‘Ninety Day Power Seller’. This product is currently being sold for $97.

(I actually own the product already. I bought it back in 2008. )

‘The Ninety Day Power Seller‘ report that John sells separately to the ebook website was how I had been introduced to John’s training. I bought the report off ebay back in March 2008 and then bought the website software program not long after.

I have set up two websites with the software, ‘Ebooks From Oz’ (ebooks only) and ‘Jads Book Shop’ (ebooks and software).

In 2009 Dave Nicholson created ‘Your Software Website’ (which is the same concept as the ebook website but selling software instead). He also created a plugin upgrade so that you could have a website selling both ebooks and software.

To be truthful I haven’t done much more with the websites other than create them and upload them. I wanted to really focus on the John’s Masterclass Training once I made the commitment. It is very easy to get sidetracked in this online world and before you know it you can end up with information overload.

I do plan on doing more with the websites at a later date, but right now there are still a few more things I need to learn and do! (So much to do, so little time, I need a clone! )

The ‘Ninety Day Power Seller’ program has some excellent training that comes with it. Not only do you get access to the actual software that will create your own ebook selling website, you also receive a wealth of information inside the members area teaching everything step by step in written and video format, plus we have access to an amazing forum that has been going since @2006!

The idea of the ‘Ninety Day Power Seller’ program is:

1. To teach us how to become digital information sellers on eBay and work towards achieving a ‘Power Seller’ status within 90 days.
2. To teach us how to create our own digital information and ebook website that is separate to eBay using the website template and software program that is supplied.

I could talk about this program even more however this post would end up being a product review and that’s not what this post is about! (I will do a proper product review another time. )

The reason why John has given us access to his program is to show us that we can have multiple streams of income online such as;

• We can create our own products and market them like we have been shown through out his masterclass training program.
• We can have websites dedicated to selling lots of different reports and ebooks such as ‘Your Own Ebook Website’.
• And we can sell digital items on eBay.

(There are many other ways to make money online, however I am not going to discus those ways now! )

The only problem with selling digital items on eBay nowadays is that the products must be sold as a physical item such as burning them to CD for delivery. Ebay changed its policies in about May 2008 and no longer allow digital downloadable items to be sold.

One of the advantages of selling on eBay is that you can use the website for list building and generating traffic to your blog and other websites. (I won’t go into these tactics right now, this is another series of posts entirely! )

If you have read some of my daily tasks posts I have talked about how I have been preparing to start selling again on ebay. I have created my main hosting website ‘Jads Deals’ where I can host all of my images and templates to reduce ebay costs.

I have also created my news letter sign up ready for list building and have prepared my ‘CD’ format ready for sending. (All this is taught in ‘The Ninety Day Power Seller Program’)

Now I just need to find the time to start listing the items!

Over the last couple of months I have noticed there are still quite a few people selling digital items on eBay very successfully, however I can tell when someone is just listing digital items they haven’t actually read or listened to! I think this can be a sellers downfall!

My intention is to make sure that I have read or experienced each item prior to selling it. Even if I just read through the book to make sure it is quality. So many people are selling stuff they have no idea about, you can tell by the way they have prepared their sales page.

John’s ‘Ninety Day Power Seller’ program has taught me how to set myself up to be an efficient seller, now I just have to get out there and sell!

The one thing I do want to mention regarding selling digital items on eBay is that there are other websites out there you can sell on as well! A lot of people think they can only sell on eBay, there are heaps of other websites you can sell on too!

They may not have the same ranking and traffic as eBay however there is nothing wrong with listing digital items on as many sites as you can especially if these websites allow your items to be downloadable!

For example here in Australia there is a site called ‘Oztion’. You can sell downloadable items on there and the fees are a lot cheaper than eBay!

Over the next few months I will be researching other sites other than eBay to sell my digital products on. I will let you know how I go.

P.P.S John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Masterclass Coaching may be closed at the moment. He has just started the new 2010 program and he only ever takes a limited amount of students at a time so as to dedicate himself to our learning, basically it is a first in first served situation.

Update From 10/4/2010: John has just released a one month $4.95 trial to Masterclass meaning you can sign up for $4.95 and trial the training. As far as I know he is limiting these places. If you see a sold out sign, then do sign up to be notified when there are new places available again.

This training program was the best decision I ever made. I would not be doing what I am today if it wasn’t for John. I can not recommend this program enough!
