ABOUT THE EBOOK

The title of the ebook pretty much explains what this ebook is; An Interview with Sara Brown. Inside Sara divulges a lot of key information which many an Internet Marketer would find useful.

In the ebook Sara discusses:

• Her best discovery about the Internet!

• The best discovery of her Life!

• Her previous Jobs!

• The formula she uses to launch a New Product!

• Where she gets her Ideas!

• How easy it is to set up an Income Stream!

• Her first major success in Internet Marketing!

• The most important money making skill a person can have as an Internet Marketer!

• Why some people aren’t successful Online!

• Some of the real life income streams she has used in the past and uses Today!

I found this ebook an interesting read. Although it is not the most in depth Internet Marketing ebook out there it gave me some useful ideas to consider. The ebook starts with general questions about Sara’s past achievements, jobs, and income streams. Towards the middle of the ebook and until the end Sara talks in detail about some of the income streams she has set up in the past.

The most interesting parts of the ebook I found were about Sara’s offline income streams. These are a classic example of an idea that involved ‘Thinking Outside the Box’ and ones that get your mind rolling for similar ideas. One of them was an ingenious idea involving a car boot sale and the other involving winches. She also talks about one of her online income streams involving getting babies to sleep, a subject that Sara again had very little knowledge of before she started up the income stream. Other interesting things covered in this ebook include the rumour that Sara Brown is in fact Tony Shepherd.

GOOD POINTS

• Provides real life examples of income streams Sara has used both on and offline to generate an income.

• An additional interview ebook with Tony Shepherd is provided absolutely FREE.

• Relatively low priced in comparison to similar ebooks.

BAD POINTS

• Since it is an interview ebook it does not provide you with actual systems you can implement.

• Relatively short when compared to other ebooks (only 36 pages).

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH SARA BROWN

The main thing I gained from An Interview with Sara Brown is from her offline income streams. This got me thinking about ways that I could make money offline. This in turn led me to research ways I could make money offline in an area that I had expertise. A quick search of the forums helped me formulate a simple idea which was initially spawned from reading this interview.

Subject: A guide to using eBay traffic to create a lifetime customer base for virtually any business.

Other Information: Can be bought with Jim Cockrum’s other ebook “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay” as a discounted, package deal.

ABOUT JIM COCKRUM (AUTHOR OF HOW TO TURN AUCTION TRAFFIC INTO CASH)

The author Jim Cockrum, is a self confessed eBay freak. He also runs “Creative Ebay Selling,” the Internets largest eBay success newsletter with over 90,000 subscribers and growing by the day. Jim has helped launch multiple internet businesses and has used the internet as his sole source of income since 2002.

ABOUT THE EBOOK

How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash is Jim Cockrum’s followup to the hugely successful “Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay.” Just like it’s predecessor, How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash is a guide to gaining massively from eBay’s huge amounts of traffic. This time instead of using this traffic to promote Silent Sales Machines, Jim shows you how to use this traffic to build up your mailing list. eBay gets 1.5 billion page views per month, there are over 100 million members, and 80,000 people sign up every day, so it is one of the best but also most underutilised sources of traffic available to any seller. The topics covered in How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash include:

• The real power of eBay!!

• The rules of the eBay game!!

• Tapping into the power step by step!!

• A step by step guide to setting up your newsletter and subscription forms on eBay whilst complying with eBay policy!!

Like with “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay” the main selling point of this ebook is that you can utilise the huge amounts of traffic on eBay to build up a mailing list. This amount of traffic would take a huge amount of time, effort, and money to gain using other means. If you are not currently building up a subscriber list then you are missing out on lots of benefits including repeat sales, increased trust in you as a seller, and a highly targeted source of traffic. However, like with Jim’s last ebook, to implement the ideas in How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash means you will have to invest quite a lot of time and effort initially. It will also create additional expense for your business (in paying the autoresponder fees). Like I said in my review of “The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay” if you are willing to put the time and effort in, then you will find this ebook useful. If you are not willing or ready to expand your eBay business in a creative and new dimension then this ebook is not for you.

GOOD POINTS

• If you are currently only selling on eBay and not following up on auction visitors, How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash lays wide open the huge opportunities you are missing out on.

• How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash tells you utilise eBay’s huge levels of traffic, and build up a mailing list, (which in turn provides you with many benefits), whilst sticking to eBay policy.

• The ebook provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a newsletter system in your eBay auctions complete with screen shots. Even if you are completely unfamiliar with webforms you will find this guide easy to follow.

• Building up a mailing list of subscribers provides you with many benefits including customer loyalty, customer trust, a highly targeted source of traffic, and the ability to sell products outside of eBay (meaning no eBay fees).

• Once the webforms and followup messages are in place, building your mailing list is virtually automated. All you have to do is write the broadcast messages when you want to do a mass-mailing to your list.

BAD POINTS

• To build a mailing list requires additional monthly expenditure on an autoresponder service.

• If you are running lots of auctions they will all need to be edited to implement these ideas, which can be very time consuming.

• The growth rate of your mailing list when using these methods is slightly exaggerated in this ebook.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM HOW TO TURN AUCTION TRAFFIC INTO CASH

How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash is the ebook that ked to me setting up my own mailing list. Prior to this I had been using eBay’s basic Shop Newsletter tool which really cannot compete with a proper autoresponder service. Since I now run multiple websites as well as an eBay store, a newsletter is really the best way to communicate to all my visitors. Using the ideas in How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash I have been able to place web sign up forms on all my eBay pages as well as all my website pages, which has allowed me to maximise my subscription rate.

Review of Jefferson Airplane book- Take Me to a Circus Tent by author Craig Fenton.

Being a born skeptic it takes a lot to convince me that something is of merit. I don’t let a few words sway me. I was intrigued by reading a few 5 star reviews and gained further respect when superlative praise came for Mr. Fenton from founding group member Marty Balin.

Balin is quoted on the back cover as stating “Craig Fenton knows so much about the Jefferson Airplane and Family, I was asking him the questions.” I needed my own eyes to be the final judge.

The cover that Mr. Fenton proudly displays to Take Me to a Circus Tent is the original photo to the Jefferson Airplane’s second album Surrealistic Pillow. Mr. Fenton employed the services of one of San Francisco’s most well known photographers Herb Greene. He is responsible for the magnificent shot that was used for the album and after having CD’s shrink the priceless picture to an overgrown postage stamp it was a sight for sore eyes to see the classic group photo in 8.5 x 11 view.

To Mr. Fenton’s credit he not only presents the consumer with over 540 pages but does it without superfluous clutter. The book is actually several themes giving the buyer a reason that the positive responses are found everywhere beginning with Amazon.

Mr. Fenton takes us through over 120 live Jefferson Airplane appearances and documents the songs played, first and last time the tune would be heard on a concert stage, any special guests that landed, if a particular version was different on a given night, and if there had been misinformation about the show. He also presents us with what is found in the Jefferson Airplane studio vault. Mr. Fenton unveils 60 or so unreleased songs, alternate versions, jams, demos, etc. He sets the record straight on which tunes were censored and gives us insight on the versions that didn’t make it to the public. The detail is not only mind blowing but meticulous and coming from a writer yes but a fanatical fan.

Take Me to a Circus Tent is just getting warmed up. There are three other portions that will have you enthralled. As you flip the pages there are over ninety photos in the book. These aren’t the run of the mill same old yawn now pictures. He has two shots as rare as anything you have seen from the band. There are many photos from both the Great Society with Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane that have not seen the light of day. Herb Greene’s camera is all over the book.

Mr. Fenton was a former radio disc-jockey. It is evident when time for the interview section. By the way there are over thirty transcripted interviews with members of the Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and some San Francisco friends. Mr. Fenton’s relaxed approach and impeccable knowledge of the groups helps bring out many things not previously in print. You’ll find out a singer that tried out before Signe Anderson got the job and the gentleman that played guitar during her audition. We find out what Hot Tuna member became part of a Jefferson Airplane song and wasn’t credited, and even which Great Society song the Airplane turned down to record (They did say yes twice).

Mr. Fenton’s section of questions and answers on the Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, SVT, KBC, and Wooden Ships feeds us enough information to digest for years.

Take Me to a Circus Tent is something special and wonderful under the big top.

The book is available through Amazon and a simple Google search will give you Mr. Fenton’s website and blog.

Some Enchanted Autumn by Linda Andrews is an excellent gift idea for the Halloween season. Vampires, skeletons, spiders, witches… they are all here &ndash but this is definitely not a children’s book.

One town, founded by the same wagon train during the pioneering days of the North American continent, holds a secret that could destroy them all.

Divided by a bitter and ancient rift, it becomes two rival towns &ndash Pumpkin and Holly. These folks take their holidays seriously, but none more so than Pumpkin’s residents do.

Lonnie, who is running both from herself and from facing her pompous and boring boyfriend, returns to Pumpkin – her hometown. There she meets Nicholas who is both more wonderful than her wildest dreams and as frightening as her childhood nightmares. Together they are assigned the difficult task of discovering the “Prankster’s” identity and the reason’s why that person is set on keeping the ancient rift between the towns alive.

Nicholas and Lonnie harbor a steamy and slightly erotic passion for one another, which they do their best to keep in check. Their family ancestors, after all, were the main players in the rift that continues to tear the towns apart.

I would classify Some Enchanted Autumn as a fantasy-fiction, paranormal-romance novel with comedic elements. Although it begins with a bit of confusion, the story rises in pace until I felt unwilling to put the book aside. This 238-page book is not the author’s first endeavor. In fact, Linda has written two other books, The Christmas Village and Ghost of a Chance.
