Ebay Bought Me A Laptop!
Check out the new laptop I got courtesy of Ebay.com! No, I didn’t buy a laptop on ebay, but I did use the money ebay sent me to buy a really nice notebook. You can learn more about the configuration of the 16 inch intel core 2 duo HP laptop here. With the recession going on and unemployment soaring, its nice have someone sending me a few dollars now and then for my discrentionary purchases.
As I reported previously, I’ve made around $15,000 in the first 6 months of the year through various online income streams. Last month was no exception. I’ll report the exact amount later, but again ebay was a major portion of this number. I won’t know the exact amount until Saturday but so far it’s just over $1,000. I’ve outlined the steps to create ebay income, but if that’s too technical for you, you might want to check out this new program called NicheDevil that looks very promising. It comes with a 60 day refund policy so there’s no downside. If you are unable to make any money online with it, just get your money back. The creator is the same guy who turned me on to BANS which has made me $10,000 so far so I’m more than happy to throw a few dollars his way to check out the product.
Is anyone else making money selling real estate, sports cars or gold coins on ebay or through BANS? If so let me know your success stories!
Update: I bought NicheDevil and I set up a few sites with NicheDevil. While it took me considerably longer than the 36 seconds advertised it was a considerably easier than setting up a comparable BANS site. I also liked the automatic pulling of tweets, youtube videos and images based on your target keywords. The only drawback was I had to get HostGator hosting. I used the online chat help and asked if they had any current promotions – they said they had a 20% discount with the code “Beach” so I used that to get Baby hosting which cost $95/year for unlimited domains. I still actually prefer Dreamhost but they didn’t support the installation of IonCube loader so I had to use HostGator instead (well, I didn’t have to but I’m too busy to figure out how to install it myself). I also bought a few domains from 1and1.com since they offer free private registration and currently have .com domains for $6.99!
Overall, it was a quick and easy setup. The sites look pretty good. I downloaded GIMP and made some minor modifications to the layout of the site (just background color and header image which I borrowed from someone else!). I’ll let everyone know how they work out.

How To Make Money On Ebay Without Actually Selling Anything As of July 20th 2009, I've received over $8,500 so far from Ebay. But the beauty is I didn't actually sell anything.

Good stuff man. I wish I had more time to check this out. I’ve just been focused on scooping up positive cashflow rental properties now, and investing in some private equity deals.
It’s all about the passive income though!

Hi,
What do you make of the new policy changes at epn? I expect all our revenue streams are going to be hit by the “no trademarks” in the domain name requirement. I note some of your domains have trademarks in them, have you found a way round this?

Good point John.
However, I think the concern is for people misleading consumers. For example, getting DELLoutlet.com is misleading because people might think its an official DELL site, wheres useddellcomputers.com isn’t. But worst case, 1 or 2 of my domains will suffer. Good thing I have several more and I’m starting several more using Niche builder
