   Dear Stuart,
   As a newbie to the ebay scene , I am very excited about all the endless and creative ways to generate income. Who would have ever thought that public domain sites with FREE pictures, patterns and etc could yield income.!!!!!!
   Someone said to me once(this is a quote but I can’t remember who said this) “I am not worried about opportunities. Endless . opportunities abound. But please God, let me recognize these opportunities so I can take advantage of them”
   Thank you for all your wisdom and the generosity to pass it on,
   Beth Cajka

     That’s a brilliant quote, Beth!

     The internet presents so many opportunities to make money that it can be difficult to find the one that will work for you.

   Hi Stuart,

   Just wanted to say “Thankyou” for the information in your Prints Make Profits (or should that be POUNDS?! lol) ebook which I have recently bought. It is refreshing to read something that deals in actual facts and not generalities. I have had a good look through and have had it at my side as I follow your instructions, and although I haven’t found anything HOT yet, I am sure that this is time of year etc, and can see exactly how this can work, and how it can be expanded into other areas eventually.

   I have made several attempts in the past to start making money online, but LIFE always seems to get in the way. Not any more! I am determined that 2011 is the year that I finally start working properly towards achieving my goal of making an income at home. I am an intelligent person, there is no reason why I can’t do it. The only person stopping me is ME. So here’s to a GREAT 2011 for us all! Thanks again!

     I learned enough about you during our Skype chat, Lisa to know that you have all of the ingredients to be a success online.

     Keep working at it and you will get there!

   You rock,thanks always look forward to your newsletter,,, And I love your book “Prints made 4 Profits”

   Hi, Stuart

   I have been a collector of cigarette cards for about three years now since a friend bought me a couple of sets around that time. I have become addicted to the hobby and would really love to write an ebook, make a site etc, about the art of collecting them. I have tried a couple of times recently and got stuck each time with the intricacys of doing this.

   I know i can get stock pretty easily of sets that i have more than one of and also replica sets of ones that are impossible to get. I have done research on the net for this, although there are not that many sites on collecting this subject. I have not come across any ebooks on the subject either and that is why i think it can be a lucrative market for myself to get into.

   Who knows where it could lead to with a bit of guidance of the correct way to do this.

   There is far more to a card than just it’s maker, they are a piece of mostly forgotten are covering almost any subject that one can think of.

   Keep up your good work of helping others to succeed.

   Hi Stuart
   I have followed your progress almost from the beginning I think and am inspired by what you have achieved. I would be delighted to have the same kind of success but seriously need my hand holding in some situations – usually where inspiration fails, or hurdles appear from nowhere. Somehow life just seems to get in the way! There must be a method of harnessing that kind problem and using it to my advantage, but it defeats me how! Like a couple of comments before me I am once again inspired to resurrect all the stuff I have already got sitting on my shelf and sift through for the useful stuff, including yours. Any pointers you can give along the way will be most gratefully received!
   Keep up the good work and supportive interaction I have personal reason to know you give your customers and readers.
   Here’s to all of us in 2011!
   Cheers

     Your persistence, Jayne proves you have the determination and my mission is to provide the guidance.

   Hi Stuart,

   I promised myself I would put more effort into my IM in 2011. So far I haven’t done much. I have just started a new job(still in employment I’m afraid) but I’ll have a few more pounds to spend on IM. I have two blogs on the go, I am also in JT’s Masterclass and I earned $121 last month in affiliate sales. I promoted John Thornhill’s APF, which gave me these commissions, one of which was an upsell. That should give me enough incentive to crack on.

   I am also writing an e book, done first chapter. The e book is aboy Bankruptcy, something which I have experienced, not that long ago I may add. I need to crack on with that one. I am determined to finish it, whether it sells or not I will carry on. If nothing else it will be an experience.

   Stuart, every time I receive an e mail from you I think of the video you did for John as a testimonial, sitting on a beach with your laptop when all your buddies were in traffic on their way to work, that’s what I call class, and something else I saw John’s new Beamer on Facebook. It makes me think, will I ever get to that stage.

   Stuart, good luck for 2011.

   Regards

   Donald MacLeod

     Hey, Donald you’ve made sales, you are on your way!

     You sound a bit deflated but you really shouldn’t be, you’ve proven to yourself that these methods work, crack on and get that product finished!

     • Donald says

       January 19, 2011 at 9:29 pm

       Stuart,

       Thanks for that comment. I do get deflated sometimes, but like I said I’m determined to improve this year. Everything was on hold for agesespecially John’s Masterclass but all that will change. Good luck with your own Masterclass, hope it’s a success. I see you got a mention in Jim Cockrum’s latest sales page on e Bay..

       Regards

   I want to write some ebooks encouraging and helping people to adopt children. My wife and I have adopted four children ourselves (we’d like to do more, but need more income). I would like to help others make a difference in the lives of children by adopting them!

   Hi Stuart

   Great information as always. You are one of the shining lights in the Masterclass and from a personal point of view I really like the way you look after and interact with your customers.

   I would encourage everyone who reads this post to leave a comment to try and win a place in Stuart’s eBook Creation Masterclass…and if you’re unlucky I can tell you you’ll be in safe hands with an ethical and really nice marketer, so you’d do well to jump in when it goes live.

   Cheers

    Happy New Year, Stuart. Good luck with your plans for 2011, I’m sure you will be even more successful than you already are! As for me, I have been working hard in 2010 with two other marketers on a couple of niche area membership sites and these will both be launched early this year. After that I have 2 other sites (not membership) I am currently working on with the same marketers and we want to get them online a bit later in the year too. And of course I will continue to moderate JT’s Masterclass forum as I love helping other people out.

    Enjoy the journey.

    Hello Stuart,

    It’s been awhile since we have swapped emails but I still read your newsletter faithfully and looking forward to your new product launch.

    You may not remember but last June you suggested to me that in your opinion it was time for me to start creating my own products.

    I took your advice and have a couple of books on my hard drive that I created, but I’m stuck with where to go with them, so your new course is coming at just the right time for me.

    I’m not new to Internet Marketing or selling on line but I know nothing about creating a quality, marketable ebook.

    My goal for 2011 is to “Create My Own Products” to add to my other income streams and increase my earning power.

    Wishing Everyone the Best 2011

      Glad to hear you took my advice!

      Places in my eBook Creation Masterclass will be strictly limited (this isn’t marketing hype, the level of personal support/hand holding I will be providing makes this necessary) so my advice is to sign up to my pre-sale notification list now at http://ebookcreationmasterclass.com

    Hello Stuart:

    I Have several ideas for e-books that I would like to launch in 2011. I have a very diverse background and education to provide topics. However, I have never done an e-book therefore I have been browsing several websites until my head is spinning. I am looking for useful information on how to create this task . I have joined paysites and have bought some programs that have not provided me what I needed. They only provided an introduction followed by a sales pitch for buying the next book or membership program. Therefore, I have become very skeptical on spending money on additional programs. I truly think with the right training my e-books could be a real online success in 2011.

      My eBook Creation Masterclass covers the whole subject from choosing the niche for your product right through to selling it on ClickBank.

      No important piece of the jigsaw is left out, you will learn how to put together a sales page and a squeeze page, how to use your product to build that all important list and even how to drive traffic!

    Hi Stuart,

    Great post man. The idea of selling prints for profits on eBay has never really crossed my mind but it really shows you what people can sell for a profit on eBay.

    As for your new product, I would love to get a review copy and promote to my list when its all done…just let me know.

    Regards,

    Edson Buchanan

    Stuart, your Prints for Profits looks like a great business. 8)

    I’m jealous that you have found a unique way to make money out of books, although this isn’t for me. Being an artist I don’t actually like prints, I prefer original works.

    I will be writing an eBook this year as I am restarting the Masterclass course that I dropped out of in May 2009.

    Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year.

    Hi Stuart,

    I am very excited about 2011 as I was fortunate enough to talk with a couple of marketers in the latter end of 2010 which helped me to focus on what I should start with. Strangely, I found that I had earned a couple of dollars (literally!) commission through a Squidoo site I made back in 2008, so I did meet my goal of making some money by November (I just forgot to set a figure!) and have realised in a concrete way that taking action gives results.

    I have been engaged to do some writing, I have two blogs up and running which I need to keep feeding with good quality content, and an ebook that needs finishing and publishing. My other project for this year is to write some PLR and sell a limited number of copies.

    My goals are completion of the above, and the earning of enough money to allow me to buy an autoresponder service to move on to the next level – regular income that could take care of one of my monthly bills.

    Best Wishes for 2011,

    Anne Smith

      Congratulations, Anne on that first sale!

      This is a big step along the road to success because it is the point when all of the theory and ideas become something a lot more concrete.

      You now know that the right idea plus action equals success.

      Analyze what you did and repeat it!

    Greetings from VERY chilly Eastern Canada again Stuart and so great to be here! I trust your holiday was enjoyable and with the snows that blanketed the UK, maybe NOW you have a taste of what it’s like to live where I do! *s

    For 2011 and after a few years of studying the IM business, I am totally committed to making this year MY year in becoming an established online marketer. And, I would like to focus on the heart of Internet Marketing, in two parts – creative advertising and the generation of a responsive list of targeted buyers.

    I will use myself as an example: I get a LOT of email from many sources but the ones that I WILL inspect are those where I get a feeling of trust from. That means that the sender has established that feeling with me and is confident that I will open the mail and read the contents.

    HOW does the sender generate that feeling? For me, a low-key approach works very well, where I am not obliged to read a lengthy note with various fonts, colors, etc. I abide by the ‘KISS’ principle in advertising (i.e.: keeping it simple…) to get the point across and not be ‘hollered’ at or made to feel some sort of guilt. We are inundated with all sorts of advertising these days from all media sources, but advertising that is short, simple, and to-the-point WILL result in me paying attention. For me, this method of ad creation will establish a bond with the sender and will also make me look forward to their next mailing.

    And, it will make me sign-up and opt-in to their lists. As we all know, list building is the main focus of IM and without a responsive list of buyers, our chances of succeeding are very limited. You need to have the right tools for the job and things like an auto responder, creative capture or ‘squeeze’ page, and helpful products will certainly assist in building your list(s).

    Now, I know you probably are aware of most of this, but the main focus of this note is to make you aware of the bonds between buyers and sellers, and the establishment of trust. There are many tools to work with to do this, but to create a good relationship with your buyers is crucial to IM success and will take some effort.

    These are my objectives for 2011; using the proper tools to create a list of responsive buyers who will trust that what I am offering will be beneficial to THEIR online (and offline) business activities.

    Thank you so much, Stuart, for the opportunity to comment and will certainly stay tuned for all developments.

    Regards for the moment,

    Michael J. Steeves

      Thanks for your comment, Mike!

      The most important word you used is “trust”

      Do things the right way and give more than you ask for in return and trust will grow

      If you focus on how to help people instead of how to make money the money will take care of itself

    Happy New Year to YOU Stuart!

    LAST year my resolution was to do something “different.” With YOUR help, I achieved that goal and more with my eBook “Fishing for Niches.” My online goals THIS year are a little more targeted and specific! Now that I have my first information product completed, published and selling succcessfully AND I have grown a healthy subscriber base on the back of it, my goal for this year is to “rinse, lather & repeat!”

    I now have several ideas that I am working on simultaneously.

    THIS year I have quite a few goals on the product TYPES I want to create:

    of course more info eBooks, but also, publish a PHYSICAL book using a POD (print on demand) service, a couple video courses (like your upcoming eBook Creation Masterclass — but I’m clueless HOW to accomplish THAT feat!), a complete website and product line based ENTIRELY on Public Domain material, and a way to automate the sales and delivery of all my products!

    I ALSO want to create a successful membership website!

    Whew! What a LOT of goals! As I said before, I have YOU to thank for getting me to this point!

    [Shameless Plug]

    Anyone who is at ALL on the fence about Stuart’s new product, should definitely get off the fence, take the plunge and get trained to move your business forward! The skills Stuart teaches are easily adaptable to ANY type of niche product – NOT just information! AND, once you have your very OWN product to sell, you can sell it anywhere — including eBay!

    [End Plug]

    Again, thanks for all you do – as usual, I thoroughly enjoyed your Newsletter!

    Best ~Deb

    January 5, 2011 at 3:10 pm

    Happy New Year Stuart!

    That is a fantastic auction result you achieved with the Cecil Aldin print, and as you say, there is huge potential not only to repeat that but also to diversify and make even more profit from the same, and similar products within the public domain.

    I have been aware of the potential of using public domain products for some time and one of my goals for this year is to re-read the information I have accumulated (including your excellent ‘Prints Make Profits’ 😉 ) and take action. You have certainly reignited my enthusiasm!

    I hope your ‘eBook Creation Masterclass’ is a huge success, and I look forward to reading more of your newsletters and blog posts through 2011 and beyond.

    Warm Regards

    Hi Stuart,

    Happy New Year mate 🙂

    Sounds like you have some big plans for 2011…..
    And having watched you from your first product to making regular incomes online – I would recommend anyone who see’s this post try and get in on your class!

    My plans don’t cover the full year yet…lol
    But I will be launching a product showing people how to create video sales letters, and I’ll be launching another site in partnership with Craig Dawber – where we will be giving free coaching for people looking to start online. I wont go into details as it could take a while….lol

    PLUS – I’ll also be working part time for a name we both know :), who consulted with me recently and wants to put my skills to work. (not that I relish the working part – but I’m still recovering from my nightmare hacking incident and need to replace the lost income 🙂

    So I reckon it’ll be a busy and prosperous year for many of us smaller guys… Mainly due to us walking the walk without all the hype 😉

    Good luck with your new masterclass – I’m sure it will help a good few people make this their year too.
