Dear Internet Marketer:

"I just can't seem to make any progress in building my Internet business," FD, one of my readers, told me over the phone the other day.

She'd attended some Internet marketing boot camps taught by the top gurus - and spent thousands on their expensive training materials. But it just wasn't working for her.

So I told FD about another approach - a way she could get a taste of what it's like to make money online, selling real products to real people over the Internet, and making some nice extra income while doing it.

What I'm talking about, of course, is making your entry into the world of online marketing by advertising and selling your stuff on eBay.

Get started on eBay … or even make your fortune there!

Some Internet marketers, like FD, find selling stuff on eBay a great way to dive into Internet marketing, get their feet wet, and from there build a traditional Internet marketing business with their own Web sites and e-list.

Many others make so much money on eBay, they stick with that, and never bother to build their own Web sites, because eBay is so profitable for them:

With an eBay business, you can start slow, with virtually no up-front investment or costs.

The folks at eBay put up the money to run their site, and let you find customers and make sales on it for a small percentage of the transaction.

You don't have to worry about finding and paying suppliers like Web hosting services … domain name providers … copywriters … Web site designers.

Doing business on eBay doesn't require an auto-responder or shopping cart software. No need to hire a Web master or administrative assistant.

There's simply no easier - or more economical - way to start an online business than on eBay!

At last, a step-by-step, do-it-yourself, guide to making money on eBay….

In our new e-book, How to Make Money Selling Stuff on eBay, Gwen Grant and I show you step-by-step how to advertise products on eBay and sell them at a handsome profit.

Including:

"OK, but what will it cost me?"

If you hire a junior freelance copywriter and Web designer to help you build your Internet business, you can easily pay more $1,500 to $5,000 or more to have them write and design a single Web site. Work with top pros and the bill could easily run into the low five figures.

But launching your Internet marketing business on eBay through their Web site won't cost you $5,000 … or $1,500 … or even $100.

Instead, How to Make Money Selling Stuff on eBay is yours for only $29 - less than I charge for just 5 minutes of my time!

And that's only if How to Make Money Selling Stuff on eBay helps you make money writing your stuff on eBay.

If it doesn't, then it won't cost you a penny. Here's why….

Our 100% iron-clad guarantee of satisfaction

I totally guarantee your satisfaction with our new guide to making money quickly and easily on eBay.

If you are not 100% satisfied with How to Make Money Selling Stuff on eBay for any reason … or for no reason at all … just let me know within 90 days.

I'll give you a full and prompt refund. And you can keep the e-book with my complements.

That way, you risk nothing.

So what are you waiting for?
