People’s dreams are coming true!!

Over a year and half ago I started the Online Success Institute (OSI) with the goal to help teach entrepreneurs how to be successful.  That goal didn’t include just eBay, but everything an entrepreneur would need to achieve their goals – motivation, marketing tools, legal & taxes, additional sales channels and more.  I am SO very proud of all of our OSI members – the Rock Stars - at how they are using this information to make their dreams a reality.  Check out the most recent email I received from one our incredible Rock Stars, Shannon:

“I just have to send you a personal–thank you, thank you, thank you!  Today I landed an amazing opportunity to be a contributing editor on a popular site called PoshMama.com.  Being a writer has been a dream of mine since I was in 4th grade writing those little stories where you make a cardboard cover and bind it in the classroom.  It has always been in the back of my mind, however, I never thought it possible.  I am at the beginning of seeing a successful career from this.  I am not really selling stuff anymore (I’m about to take down my Vogue Mum store), and have been focusing on blogs, writing, and getting myself out in the online world(even making a little money doing it!).  I truly believe your blogging classes have greatly contributed to the success of my blog.  In the last 3 months I have seen Rock Star Maternity really take off and is a 3/10 on Google Ranking!  Thanks teach:)  From the beginning of my selling on eBay to now has certainly been an adventure with many twists and turns.  I think I am finally finding my voice on this big ol’ web.  I cannot thank you enough because you have been there the whole time teaching and encouraging.

A heart full of gratitude,”

I am beaming with pride and thrilled at Shannon’s success!!  I know that this year has been truly a trying year for her on a personal level, yet you wouldn’t know that from her incredible outlook on her world.  HUGE congrats Shannon – we can’t wait to hear more about your new position!!  You so deserve this – you and your hard work and determination made it happen.  Rock On!

Just one of the many ‘thank yous’ we received after the show:

“Being a solo online entrepreneur I’m pulled in so many different directing at times my head spins. Eric is a GENIUS as this tool is like having several full time employees at my finger tips doing the really important bottom line analytics that I’m not good at but are crucial to my business. This “Research Leverage” will keep me current on my competition, and provide new market data real time so I can make turn on a dime decisions that will have a positive effect on my bottom line.

Knowing what products make me the most money and comparing Amazon and Ebay analytics with a click of a button is like magic.  Eric…thank you for creating a tool that surpasses anything I’ve ever seen and is a MUST HAVE for anyone that needs research information at their fingertips to make educated decisions about their business.

This sneak peek had me “at hello”…I’m ready to sign on the dotted line!!”

Sourcing at book sales

Reminder…one day left to ‘vote’ on how I should sell my $1 book.  (Don’t forget to include your name so I can give out prizes!) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=4CCtLz9zDQBLJhzqNAyuQw_3d_3d

Shirley of www.WhiskerFeathers.com just sent me a useful website, http://www.booksalefinder.com to help everyone in finding amazing sourcing deals on books.  She also sent me this great email after reading about sourcing at book sales in the newsletter:

 “I am fortunate because I live in Los Angeles where we have lots of local library branches. I located two of them close by that were having book sales Saturday. One of them has occasional sales while it seems the other one has a little used book store within the library itself that is always open. At the first one I headed for the non-fiction tables. Janelle says to go where nobody else is. I found two books that have to do with how to save money, who couldn’t use that? Speaking of bibles, one is called The Consumer Bible like new condition! I found a set of two books called The Bible Code in good condition, people are really interested that sort of stuff these days. I also got a collector’s edition of a book about Corvettes that a corvette enthusiast might really like. All these cost me $3.84! I had a little time left before the other library’s bookstore opened so I dropped by a local thrift store to look at their books. I found a set of brand in sealed in the box set of six TAEBO II workout tapes at a really low price, they would make a great gift for someone! The other library was particularly interesting to me because they had a cart of collector’s books. The lady told me they are getting them donated from a movie studio near by. I found a couple that I’d like to hang onto for the information they contain that I can use for idea material. I’ll be checking back with them quite often. I did really well and figure I spent around $15 for all the books I got from all three places. Best, Shirley”

Shirley, nice job!  I can’t wait to hear the outcome of these auctions!!  Let us know how they do, deal?
