I hope this blog post finds you in good health, I’m sorry if my thoughts seem a little disjointed today, I have my laptop on the ironing board and I’m ironing school uniforms as I write!

You see my wife is in hospital so it’s all hands to the pumps! Often, it’s only when a person isn’t there that you realise how much they do and how easy it is to take them for granted.

My kids are a great help, I have two teenage boys who keep the gardens tidy, vacuum the house and car and my ten year old daughter is a little star, last night she bathed her five year old sister then blow dried her hair! I’m not much use with long hair, I have very little of it left myself so my brush and hairdryer skills leave a lot to be desired!

Anyway, enough of my domestic strife.

I hope you are working towards your online ambitions and enjoying success, if, however, you are struggling to decide which is the best business model for you then I know exactly how you feel.

Sometimes the sheer variety of different money making ideas can be quite overwhelming and it is so easy to become trapped in a vicious circle of trying new ideas only to find that the latest idea doesn’t work for you and you move onto the next one.

My own online business started some years ago with eBay and this is still a great place to learn what people want and how to present your products professionally to delight your customers. There seems to be a lot of negative press about eBay and how it is in decline but the bottom line is that it still draws a huge amount of targeted traffic and this is the life blood of any online business.

To paraphrase the classic Mark Twain quotation “The reports of its death are greatly exaggerated” if you are looking for an online business model that works then you could do a lot worse than try eBay.

I’ve just finished reading a new eBook about making money on eBay, and before your eyes glaze over at the thought of another ‘get rich on eBay’ eBook let me tell you that this one is different.

The $50 a day auction challenge

Firstly this isn’t a ‘get rich on eBay’ guide, when I see a headline that promises vast, easy profits I run a mile and suggest you do likewise. No, this guide caught my attention because it promises to show me how to make $50 per day on eBay. I like this because it fits in with my overall business strategy of developing lots of small income streams.

I find there is a lot of pressure online to make huge sums of money, if you are a regular IM forum visitor like me you’ll know what I mean, there are so many people claiming they make hundreds of dollars a day that it is quite easy to develop an inferiority complex and start believing you are a failure if you aren’t making the same.

Try not to get caught up in this, if you can learn how to make $1 per day online you are ahead of 95% of the population, and if you can make $1 you can make $10 and so on until you achieve your own personal target.

The second reason why this eBook caught my imagination is that it is written by an eBay PowerSeller who practices what he preaches and I have seen his eBay account and can vouch for this.

Yes, this method takes a bit of hard work to set up but I’m fine with that, I prefer products that are up front about the work involved. In fact I always give a wide berth to products that promise easy money, my experience has taught me there is no such thing.

So, you’ve found an online business model that works, what next?

Work at it, give it 100% focus and only do the things that contribute to it.

Test and Tweak.

Once it is running smoothly and earning consistent profits look to outsource the tedious day to day work and use your time to set up your next income stream and so on.

As always with ClickBank products there is a 60 day money back guarantee so you can give this the once over with no risk whatsoever.
