Default FREE old report, help make it new.

You can download the report, Before You Buy Anything 2007 edition here:

http://www.angelfire.com/biz/gjbiz/byba07.pdf

Many of you have read this, but some may not have. I'm revising and updating for 2010.

If you have a web site you'd like me to include in the 2010 version, even your own, let me know and I'll check into it. No promises or guarantees, but the 2010 edition will be dynamite.

Default Wrong url

Hi, Gordon -

I checked some of the urls and found a fairly important mistake

Your section about Charles Prosper has an incorrect url - it says prosperballons.com when it should read prosperballoons.com ....

I guess your first update is that one .... I'm reading through the rest of the report right now.

Default Thank YOU Margaret...I need an editor, you available?

You can bet the update will better proofed. THANKS, these "little" mistakes can be HUGE and I definetely want to avoid them.

Default It's so much easier

Hi, Gordon - it's so much easier looking through someone else's writing - I'm certain I'd never have made a reliable proof-reader.

Glad to see your health is improving.

Cheers for now
Margaret

Hi Gordon, Its great that you are back!

I wanted to share how one paragraph in your report has positively impacted my life. That paragraph is. . .

"Corey Rudl did a great job of selling himself first, then his marketing program. That is why I encourage you to develop your own products, even today. This is especially important for writers and photographers and graphic artists."

For years I promoted other peoples products from MLM / Network Marketing, Affiliate Marketing and buying reprint rights to products like Don Alm's Midas Report, but aside from eBay, the only decent money I ever made selling or marketing someone else's products were David Ashley's Night Vision Address Signs and Reflective Curb-Lite House Numbers from www.AddressAmerica.com and I'd like to nominate his site to be included in your report.

Due to moving to Australia in 2004 I could no longer continue to work the Address America business system so I went back to earning a living with my camera. But after reading your report I decided as a photographer I really needed to follow your advice and focus on creating and marketing my own products.

I'm happy to report that by focusing on all the advice in your report, my wife and I now have two websites marketing our own products. One is www.MomsWithCamera.com and the other is www.DigitalFantasyBackgrounds.com What's really great is most of our customers return to buy over and over and they are always raving about how much they love our products and services! There are still occasional system glitches with shopping carts and download links not always working as they should but overall we are very pleased with the publics reaction!

Your free report has help us and many others. Thank you for all you do!

Cheers,
Steve

PS... There are some interesting products down under that may fit Harveys criteria. Any word from him lately?

Thanks Steve,

Re: Harvey. I've handed that ball off to Dien Rice, contact him, he has Harvey's ear. I'm IMPLEMENTING the great lessons Harvey shared with me this last few years.

In BYBA 2010, I'm going to FEATURE some websites, and it would be cool to have several from SowPub and/or users of one of my many products or reports (even the FREE ones).

I hope to have the final ready for PROOFREADING and EDITING on Mar. 1. and to release it on Mar. 15.

I'd love to use this post in the new INTRO, is that OK with you Steve?

Default Hot Sheet Question for Gordon

Dear Gordon,

Thanks for the post of your "OLD" Report.

I visited lots of great links.

Found a site that sells, "HOT SHEETS" for 2.00 each.

Question...

I've written up some Topics that were successful and Popular as articles or E-products elsewhere.

Which one of them do you think I should Pick to start? To write up as a Hot Sheet?

You've written a bunch of them
that sell well.

Which is WHY I ask your advice.

I have no experience in the hotsheet market niche.

So I'm hoping you will share a bit of your expertise.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
