April 2009 Yahoo Store News

Welcome

You asked for it!


As I have been focusing on giving you guys more great education, I am absolutely having a blast!

I have been able to create over 40 (yes FORTY!!) videos to help Yahoo Store owners, we have come out with several new e-books, and now we have the have Do It Yourself Kits for new store owners.

Plus, this month we held the first ever Build Your Store in a Weekend Event. We had 7 webinars focused on building and growing your Yahoo Store. It was a blast!! In May we will be holding the Optimize Your Store in a Weekend Event and you do not want to miss out.

One of the questions I get asked quite a bit is, "How do I find a niche product to sell online?"

So I created a new e-book which will show you 7 different methods for determining what niche product or service to sell online.

I also added a few extra bonuses that I think you will find extremely helpful. An e-book describing 107 different terms used in marketing, an e-book showing you how to increase your return on sales letters, an e-book on how to create video for your products, and a program that helps you to create great headlines.

I know you will find this nice little kit VERY useful.


Next question we get asked, "Can you help me with Pay Per Click Marketing?"

Absolutely! Check out our brand new video series Pay Per Click Marketing for Beginners.

12 Videos specifically designed to teach you how to be successful with Google Adwords.
