Ebay has launched a whole new site in the USA and Canada called Ebay Express. The site is a pure buy it now operation with no auctions and gives people a quick and easy way to buy any item.

Unfortunately it won’t be operational in the UK until it’s been fully tested over there but it will I’m sure be a great success.

Current rules for selling on Express:

As soon as it arrives here you can bet my products will be listed and of course I will report my results and let you know how it preforms.

For my regular readers, sorry there has not been many posts this month - it’s been one of my busiest in ages! Sales are crazy and I’ve spent sometime in Phoenix, Arizona with some fellow Net entrepreneurs this month which has kept be away.

I have been learning some VERY powerful Internet marketing secrets lately that has inspired me to recruit a full time web designer/developer here at my company.

I will share some of them with you shortly that I hope will help you to make more money online and in the future I have plans to create a very high quality Ebook on making money online, so watch this space!

There are thousands of quality domain names expiring every day that people have simply forgotton about or deliberatley left to go that you can have. Some will have hundreds of links pointing to them which you can then benefit from by sending all the traffic they generate to your own sites.

I’m currently trying a service called www.namespy.com to keep an eye out for some nice domain names for my businesses and I’d recommend you try them out. Namespy recommend Snapnames to actually try and aquaire the names for you but I would consider trying www.pool.com as they seem to be more successful in getting the domains.

One of the other useful features of Pool.com is that you can search for expiring domains by keyword. For example, if you are about to set up a hotel directory website then do a search for domains with hotels in it and see what you find on pool.com.

If you can find one that’s been around for a while and has links pointing to it then it will give your site a kick start. Also there is little doubt in my mind (and others) that Google is now placing more value on domains the older they are.
