Ebook Review: Auction Secret Profits

Ebook Review: Auction Secret Profits
ABOUT LEE MCINTYRE (AUTHOR OF AUCTION SECRET PROFITS)

Lee McIntyre is a teacher who has already successfully sold
digital products online in the teaching niche. Although
Lee has only been trading online since 2006 he is a true
success, selling 600+ copies of his first Internet
Marketing ebook, Auction Profits Unleashed, during
pre-launch alone. Since then Lee has launched a number of
successful ebooks, a membership site and an excellent
newsletter.

ABOUT AUCTION SECRET PROFITS

In Auction Secret Profits, Lee explains how you can use
eBay to generate a lot of viral traffic and additional
income. The topics Lee covers include:

- The eBay Ebook Market!!

- How to Profit from eBay Auctions without Selling
Anything!!

- Creating Short Reports!!

- How giving away Ebooks can Make you More Money than
Selling Them!!

- How to get Ebook Sellers working for You!!

Lee begins Auction Secret Profits by discussing the eBay
ebook market. In particular Lee discusses the flaws in the
market and the mistakes that many eBay ebook sellers make
(as an eBay ebook seller myself I thankfully don't make
make these mistakes). Lee then outlines how you can use
the flaws in the eBay ebook market for your own personal
gain. Overall, this section is a refreshing take on the
eBay ebook market. If you browse many Internet Marketing
forums you will see topics such as "The eBay ebook market
is dead". However, Lee has shown that there is indeed
money to be made if you use a little creativity.

Next, Lee goes on to discuss how to measure the demand for
different products on eBay. This is a lot easier than I
thought it would be and all the research methods can be
implemented on the actual eBay website. Lee even gives
some suggestions to readers of the ebook as to what is
currently in demand. For example, at the time of writing
Auction Secret Profits, the World of Warcraft was one of
these in demand products.

Once you have choosen a niche or product to focus on (based
on your eBay research) you need to monetise it (make money
from it). Lee discusses how to do this in great detail and
even provides two different methods to monetise your chosen
niche/product. Unfortunately, I can't discuss these
methods in this review as it would reveal too much of Lee's
subject matter and that is something I do not want to do.
However, I assure you that it is great information for
people who want to profit from eBay traffic and Lee really
has overdelivered here.

In the next section of Auction Secret Profits, Lee
discusses creating short reports based on your chosen
product/niche. First, he discusses how you can research
the information for your short report for free or at a very
low cost. Then he provides a few quick writing tips.
After this Lee discusses a number of other ways you could
create your short reports including PLR and outsourcing.
He also discusses monetising the report but as I said above
I can't really reveal this information in my review.
Overall, this is a great section with the information being
straight to the point. Most ebooks I have read that
discuss product creation fail to mention that PLR and
outsourcing can be used to ease the process.

At this point you will now have all the ingredients you
need to generate viral traffic and income from eBay. You
now just need to get your reports out there. In the final
section of Auction Secret Profits Lee discusses how to
distribute your reports. There are a lot of tips here
which include making your ebook look professional, offering
it to eBay ebook sellers and more. Although the information
in this section is not very advanced this does give you a
lot of ideas for distributing your ebook.

Overall, I've got to say this wasn't an easy ebook to
review. The nature of the information means that I can't
reveal to much without completely giving Lee's game away.
However, with Auction Secret Profits, Lee has provided a
complete system for generating traffic and revenue from
eBay WITHOUT listing your own auctions. It's a very low
cost system and with the examples Lee provides there really
is no excuse why anyone can't implement their own Auction
Secret Profits system.

GOOD POINTS

- Lee makes it very easy to measure demand on eBay.

- I was really impressed with the section on creating your
own short reports. Lee provides lots of resources which
will help you - even if you have never created a product
before.

- Once your reports are out there that's it. There is no
more tweaking or maintenance required.

BAD POINTS

- Lee could have provided links to some good ecover
designers. - I don't think the level of traffic from these
methods is as great as Lee mentions.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM AUCTION SECRET PROFITS

As an eBay ebook seller myself I thankfully don't make the
mistakes that Lee mentions. I have created my own ebooks
and am increasingly working on creating more and more of my
own products. I implement a lot of the ideas Lee mentions
inside Auction Secret Profits already. However, one area I
need to seriously improve upon is testing. I get my ebooks
out there but I don't test the results. Lee explains how
to do this so I just need to start doing it.
