So helpful!

Team 2 has been very helpful. During the program so far I have overcome many obstacles. Trying to absorb and retain all of the info and remember where to find it when I need it. Stay diligent, know you will learn it all, and think positive.

EBAY IS GREAT!

I have had 6 sales on eBay so far with a profit of $144. Team 2 has made big difference in my selling ways. What to look for when I'm going to sell a similar item My advice would be to just listen to what the instructor is saying. I like eBay very much.

So Much Help and Support!

Charity has been very supportive & helpful. She has offered many suggestions & always has a positive attitude. I have made some mistakes with my listings. I've learned that "Like New" isn't an acceptable phrase in a title. I've also learned that Classified Ads are expensive & not a good way to go. I listed an item that way by mistake & it was a costly error. New students just need to have patience. The program is a road map to success. All you need is time & patience. I feel very positive about Thrive & my coach. I know I wouldn't have had near the success with my listings without the training I've received. eBay is not for rookies!!! I have sold 2 books & a coin. I am excited about selling on eBay. Ive had good success so far, & feel confident hat my sales will grow with my experience. I have learned so much from my coach & from my lessons that eBay has become a fun & rewarding experience.

This Has Been Fantastic!

We are Bob and Sally R. Our Dropship website is TheBowBarn.com. When Bob and I started this web site we had very little knowledge of navigating around on a computer, the coaches and the coaching they have given us has been fantastic! You guys are so patient and so understanding yet very honest and straight forward. And our emails or phone calls were always answered promptly. Our experience as a whole has been very challenging but at the same time a lot of fun. And we owe what we know to our coaches. Coming out of our comfort zone and learning to navigate around on a computer. I have to admit there were a lot of times we wanted to throw in the towel and give up, we didn't feel we had what it took to build a site, but again, the encouragement of our coaches and the desire to have an internet business, kept us going. Our words of encouragement...hang in there, trust your coach and your instincts, and don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's how you learn.

You WIll Find Success As I Did.

My name is Kathleen H. My site is www.decoytricks.com It is a Dropshipping Site. My overall experience has been wonderful. Team 2 has lots of new information. They have kept me on track and motivated. Deadlines are important. All the coaches answered my questions. Being able to call in when I had a problem is awesome. Don't like "live chat", but it sure does work well. The team always got back to me when I called. Found the "right" way to build a site, not just one that looks good. The coaches were detailed in their suggestions...not just "do it better" but "do this", and here is why and how. Keep at it. Be persistent. Listen to the coaches. Ask questions. Spend the time needed and you will find success as I did.

This Is FUN!!!

My first sale on eBay taught me a great deal! There were two identical listings other than mine, which didn't have the Buy it now option in the auction, and they charged for shipping. I started my bidding a little low, but I also made my buy it now price just under what the other 2 listings had, and offered free shipping. Mine sold, and the other 2 didn't even have bids! I really got immersed in the process, and learned so much about how to use effective keywords and descriptions. (I am a retired stage actress, and I have written many ads and PR pieces, so I took to it like a duck to water.) I loved the support I got and the live chat and my coaches - they made great suggestions and their feedback was invaluable. I really feel confident in going forward with them to back me up and guide me. This is FUN!!!

Don't let fear of the unknown hold you back - you've got tremendous support and resources with this program and if you are sincere and work on it you will be making progress by leaps and bounds! Ask yourself - is what I'm doing right now helping my business? If not, ask yourself what you should be doing and start doing it. This program is amazing, the only thing standing in the way of your success is mindset and application! Go for it and you will succeed. You'll amaze yourself. I certainly did!

My Nervousness Turned Into Confidence!

My name is Shirley G. My coach has given me critiques of my plans, as well as lots of encouragement while doing my lessons. He has given me advice to create my listings and make them professional looking. Nate has been very understanding when I have questions and answered them patiently and easily. I don't know how the other coaches operate but I really appreciate having Nate as MY coach. I was very nervous about both buying and selling on eBay, but now that I have done my lessons and used the step by step instructions for each I feel much more confident. Using PayPal eases some on the concern about using eBay. My advice to anyone out there is just be sure to use the step by step processes given in your lessons and you should have no problems with your eBay experience. My experiences on eBay have been very positive. I was nervous at first about buying and selling, but now I am much more confident about both!

I Had My First Ebay Sale

I have had my 1st sale on eBay!!! My coach, Tyler, has really helped a lot. Whether, it was about how to research a item, or how list your item, or how to list your item with the lowest price for a auction starting at 99 cents he had a huge impact on selling my first listed item. One of my first obstacles was overcoming the lack of computer knowledge, but through my coach, Tyler, and team 2a I overcame that challenge. Secondly, I have always purchased items but never selling. This was a really a learning experience because I thought you just list it on ebAY and that was that. But then again with my online classes and the help from my coaches another challenge was overcome. My words of encouragement are to study hard and join a blog group, which will be very helpful. My very first item, which listed and sold, was a used Dell 15" monitor. I had listed it and it sold in less than 8 hours. I was excited!

Kiwanis, Thrive and Owlz Make a Good Team

Thank Goodness For Thrive!

My coach has been very helpful in the marketing of the products and understanding how eBay works It has been a long time since I attended school and learning a new topic at my almost young age was a little intense at times. I have been frustrated with the amount of information provided and sometimes overwhelmed, but following each step has set me for success. I look at unused and new items differently and I am learning what would sell on eBay. I have not been a big online shopper, so overcoming my bias to that was a small obstacle. When you feel the information is too much, walk away for a moment, get a tea or coffee or water; do another chore, fix some lunch, whatever, just something different than the lesson or eBay or anything on the computer. After a few moments you will look at an object in your environment and wonder if it would sell on eBay, and how much you could get for it. That is the time to go back to studies, you are now ready to absorb more information. Don't give up in the early stages, it is a lot of information, but it will start making sense as you follow the lessons. When you have listed something, do not get frustrated if it doesn't sell. It is easy to get excited when you look at the number of people who have visited your listing and the number of people who may be watching the at closing it doesn't sell. This event can easily deflate your desire to proceed. Call your coach, discuss if there is anything to improve the listing, lower the price etc. Re-list the item, dive in an list a couple more and by the next closing, most if not all your listings will sell. I have been selling Family game and a Nintendo video game. It is a little overwhelming at first. The regulations and processes that eBay has developed to protect the buyer and seller are extensive and pretty thorough. Reading all the policies and procedures is a daunting task. Thank goodness for the summaries and step by step provided by Thrive's lessons and coaches.

Youre Not Going Through This Alone

I feel great about Ebay and would never have known where to start if it hadn't been for my coach Jonathan who helped me through this learning process, I still have a long ways to go and need to do some yard sales but, over all this has been a great experience for me and I plan on continuing to do even better. My biggest struggle so far has been a lot of procrastinating, finally I can get done what I need to. I would recommend to talk with your coach #1 If you need the help get it, it always gives you a boost, a jump start when you talk with your coach. If you get stuck on one item they'll help to get you through it, your not going through this alone and that's what helps me.

It Has Been Wonderful - Great - Super!

It has been wonderful - great - super! My Coaches have been especially patient with me, as I am an older person (no excuse - smile), and I need to visualize information. That way, I know I am learning it. For me, the best instructions are with one-on-one where you can interact with a human being by actual voice conversations. I think it is more efficient and more effective this way. Anyway, with new technology, I guess this is the way of human communication these days. I hope to be able to continue learning in the mode of live voices over the phone - it's better than "live chat". That takes too long and interpretation of what is written is not always interpreted or understood by either party. Anyway, I am pleased with all you are doing for me, and hope this continues into the future.

Much gratitude,

I Will Be One Of Your Greatest Successes

I have found the team very helpful in that as I needed help they were there to offer it. I have had many questions and the team answered them and made sure that they understood what I was asking. As a novice to the computer internet world I have found their direction extremely helpful. They sent me information that kept me working. They have given me specific help with links and their proper use, a long list of directories. I never had to wait very long to get a response. When I was with team 2B I found the phone conversations extremely helpful. It was very interesting because when I went to the Reactive team it was just right as I had gained enough experience to that point that using live chat and e-mail was sufficient to keep me progressing.

I look back at my experience so far and see the tremendous progress I have made with the support of the teams. I feel that I have a great website and am learning how to market it. All this could not have been possible with out the Thrive teams assistance.

It has been an exciting experience working with Thrive up to this point. I am ready to continue on to be one of your greatest successes. That is my goal in this endeavor. Thank you for all of your assistance.

Sinderely,

I Am Laughing All The Way To The Bank!!!

WOW! Am I having fun and laughing all the way to the bank as the old saying goes. It does take lots of work, I've learned a lot through the Thrive program and I know I have a lot more to learn but the coaches are fantastic and this makes the 3rd company I've tried working with and they are the BEST! They just don't take your money and then hang you out to dry without giving you the help, the assignments to keep you motivated and the encouragement to keep going.I have received encouragement and helpful guidelines on how to make my listings better and not once has any one ever acted like I was not smart enough to do this.I can't say enough good things about the Thrive program and in just 2 months I'm now over $1000 in sales and that was just in 19 days and this month isn't over yet.Thank you Thrive people for having faith in me and helping me to have faith in myself. Don't be fooled into thinking it will happen overnight but if I can do it ANYONE can and I have a very hectic schedule even before I started this but somehow I've found a way to work it all in and I'm more energized than I have been in a long time. Guess it must be those sales that keep going higher.

Thanks Thrive!

I Would Definitely Recommend This To Others

Trent basically took over working with me at this point and resolved all the problems I had from then on. In fact if he said he was going to call me it was done. Very on point. The builder team side was excellent. Any problems I had with the website that concerned their help were resolved thoroughly and swiftly. Every one of the coaches I talked to to were nice and professional. I would recommend this to others. Absolutely this program can teach anyone a lot of Internet and business knowledge. I have learned an incredible amount of not only information about the website-making process but also about the tax laws and steps in opening an l.l.c as well. I am glad to have tried this out, I believe this system will benefit me from now on in my life because I can now work in a whole new field (Internet business), that has an option of income that are unparalleled in the amount of customers you can reach if you do it right.

I Was Totally Giddy When My Site Passed!

Thank you so much for your encouragement and wonderful remarks about our website. I fully realize that it has taken us much longer than the norm to complete our site. Many health issues, surgeries, etc. contributed largely to that as well as many family responsibilities with our grandchildren. But we did it!!
When I got your letter saying that our site has been passed and approved, I was totally giddy. I didn't know how to react, and I just babbled on and on about so many things. I didn't sleep that night because I was too emotional. It has been a long journey getting to this point, and many days I didn't think it was worth it, or that it would ever be done, but your letter was proof positive that we had, indeed, reached that goal. I know full well that we have completed that part only to begin anew in the Marketing Phase, but hey! You guys have taught us to take things one small step at a time, and this was a giant leap of accomplishment!
The Reactive Team has been so patient, so kind, so professional throughout the entire time. I cannot commend them too highly, and I commend you for striving to keep the Team at a high standard. You have succeeded! They are far and above our highest hopes or expectations. Whether I contact them early in the morning, or just a few minutes before quitting time for them, they never waver in their patience, kindness and helpfulness. They are professionals to the enth degree!
Once I began using the Live Chat during the home stretch of having our site completed, it truly did speed things up to utilize the Live Chat. It helped enormously to see things being passed off in a matter of minutes rather than a couple of days like it did when I used the email system. There were times when I'd call them several times a day and just kept moving forward. I'd call them, and then I'd call Technical and learn how to do what Reactive had told me to do, and then get back with Reactive afterwards. It is a great system and I wish I could have done that earlier on. I'm sure I could have, I just wasn't used to doing it.
I've watched several of the marketing videos already - I'd do that while I was waiting for a response to my emails - but truly, I know so little about Marketing, and it feels like I'm beginning another whole new learning curve. It seems so "ginormous" in scope. It's not as simple as "opening up for business", but it is a full-time job just managing the business, improving it, tracking it, linking to others and reaching for the higher goal of getting on page 1 in the search engine results! I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all, but having accomplished building the site, I'm encouraged that we can do this as well - with the help of the Reactive and Technical Teams!!
The end goal that we would like in marketing our site to reach is to have a site that we can always be proud of - one that will grow and improve and continually go up in the rankings. My husband and I began this venture because of financial necessity. Our retirement funds remain the same, but the cost of living keeps increasing, and we truly believe that we can turn that around through marketing this site properly. Entering into this venture together has been very rewarding to us both, and we learned that, after 50 years of marriage, we CAN do things together without it becoming a hassle! That in itself is priceless. We've become a different kind of "team" than we were before - a much improved one.

Thank you again for all you've helped us to accomplish.

Very Sincerely,

Joe & Barbara

Thrive Was There For Us...

Hello my name is Willard and Stephanie L.

We joined Thrive in 2008, we were living in northern California. Dueto the recession we where forced to sell our home of 12 years and moveto Spokane WA. In the interim we had to put my career with Thrive onhold. With their help and understanding they supported us. We werevery worried that when we got settled in Spokane and was ready tostart up again they wouldn't be there in these unseeing times. Wecalled them as soon as we got in Spokane, not knowing what to expectmy coach told me to get settled and not to be worried they will bethere when we were ready!
In about a total of six seven months we was ready and so were they! Wewant to give a special thanks to Jarrett, Preston, Charity, Jon and yes John! They Rock! They were hard on me but that's what I truly needed.There were times I wanted to throw in the towel, thanks to Team 2athey would not let me and they would not do it for me! Yes I paid thema good sum of money, at times I thought why can't they do it I paidthem enough! See if they did do it for me we would not have theknowledge we have today! We would not have the wonderful website scootersbikesfun.com we have because they made me pull out my creativeside and design it myself! They stood behind me when I cried, when I laughed, when I was mad, and happy. This has been a ride of a lifetime itseems, and now we go on to chapter two I'm sure we will be writing again!Life is good and it's still going!

Now we enter a new chapter and we have to say that although we are a little scared, we know with this team that we are going places! This company is all about learning, so many people want it to drop out of the sky, it has to come fromwithin! If someone is going to do it all for you, you will flop! Youwill not know whats happening in the Internet world. If a person trulywants to make it on this side it's possible you just have to pull upthose sleeves and get to work! We know from personnel experiencepeople think slapping down the bucks will buy you a piece of theInternet pie. This is not so you have to work for it just like anyother job! Like mom always told me can't never could do anything. Youknow mom's always right! So here's to the tech support for team 2a andmy coaches!

YOU ALL ROCK!!

Now that my website has been up and running for four months, I, probably like most in this time frame, have gained enough knowledge on internet retail websites to know I absolutely did everything wrong from the beginning, and am now an expert on what not to do when starting a new website. I am still gaining knowledge on what should be done.

I have discovered there is money to be made if you make the correct decisions up front, before rushing into everything. I rushed everything because I needed income coming in from the website immediately. Rushing is a huge mistake!

What I have learned is very valuable for the future, while I continue to correct the mistakes I made. The main point is, the system seems to work, but you need to base it on the small picture – your own products, and not the big picture that is discussed. Hard to do, but to succeed, it is a must!

I am starting to get a better ranking on some of my products, Pages 1-2 of google and yahoo. I am starting to see more results from my Adwords, with the help of Advanced Marketing, and I am starting to get a few more sales in because of this. I am working direct with one manufacturer, have had 3 sales in a week, and the profit margin, after all costs, is 50-70%.
Orders and profit received, that’s what makes the hard work and patience to get it right worth while. Profit is why I built a retail website. If I would have done it right from the beginning, I’m sure I would be farther along, but I was in a rush, in a hurry to make money. Just does not work that way.

My gross sales were pretty dismal from June through September, only $1,520 gross sales total. At this point, October is looking up, with $2,250 in gross sales October 1st - 12th. I know the potential for internet income is very good, and I know if I take what I have learned and what I am still learning, I will get there. Patience, continued hard work and social marketing seem to be the key to success.

I Have Tripled My Sales This Year!

Rob,

Thank you so much for your ongoing assistance in teaching me about the various forms of marketing for my e-commerce web sites and blogs. I have been in the “business” for awhile and it surely must be more difficult to work with someone beyond the beginner stage. You have been able to work out a plan that gets past the basics into areas where I can learn new things.
One of my sites, PortableKayaks.com has been growing at a steady rate since it’s inception in 2006. This year we are close to tripling our overall sales (since the year began we’ve grossed well over $100,000.00) and your advice and knowledge has given me the resources to execute a positive plan that I am confident will sustain our growth in the future. Specifically, the FaceBook page that we set up for Portable Kayaks resulted in a sale from a new “fan” within the first month. Other marketing plans are under construction or in the planning stage. Your explanations of the “ins” and “outs” and best practices of Twitter, MySpace, general blogging and other marketing methods have been easy to understand and straightforward. And, when I have questions or don’t understand a concept, you’ve always been able to clarify it clearly.
I have also enjoyed our discussions about internet marketing; the trends, where it’s been, where it’s going and the knowledge you’ve been willing to share about your personal experiences.
I especially appreciate your willingness to work within my extremely busy schedule. You’ve been open to adapting our appointments to allow me the opportunity to work at a comfortable pace, while I tend to the day-to-day distractions that invariably occur when running a business. I’m a one-man show, so time management is crucial and you understand that.
If there are any potential clients who’d like to talk with me about you or the Thrive program, I’d be happy to provide a positive reference.

Sincerely,

Dennis H.

Hi,

Thank you for all of your help during the building of my site. I thought that the Reactive Team was very helpful with me in getting my site going. I took longer than 3 weeks, but that was due to my busy schedule. I am very excited about marketing my site. I have been looking forward to this for a while. My main goal is to learn the knowledge necessary to be a successful internet businessman. I do want to see my site become successful and profitable as well. I have worked hard on this site, and though I have made many mistakes, I have learned from them and learned from my team at Thrive as well. Once again, I am very excited to see what I can make of this site with your help and look forward to working with you on marketing my site.

Thank you,

Bob J.

My First Sale!!!

Hey- couldn't wait to tell you! I got my first sale of a set for $699.99!! After shipping, my profit was $190.26! I also sold a mayan hammock Saturday, my total profit for the day was $215.25. I'm very excited. I spent a lot of time on Friday responding to people who wanted to follow me, and I did the "thanks for following me" thing and added my website. Maybe it came from there - not sure. I'm following over 1060 people and have ~500 following me back. I think that's pretty good, don't you?Added some long-tail keywords to my site - and got a new design in the works for my static banner, along with a new logo and a flash banner....good changes coming! now's the time....new banner/logo, new look!

The Secret To Getting Ahead In The World

I have always wanted to get ahead in this world, and unfortunately I was put in a position that I had not planned on. I was co-signer on a mortgage with a fiancé that walked away, and suddenly I had a mortgage made for 2, with only 1 income. I decided there had to be something out there that I could do from home to supplement my day job, because I didn’t want to work for someone else, it was time to work for me!

I found Thrive after doing lots and lots of research. Like many others out there I was skeptical, but I finally took the plunge. I have learned things that I never thought possible, and now am able to say “I own my own business”. It was scary at first, but I see results, and I know with all the support I have been given, I will succeed!

I started out learning about selling on EBay – and the first item I posted sold over night! I have now sold well over $400 in “stuff” I found around the house. My feedback score is 21 and 100% positive! But even more importantly, with the help of Thrive and Team1b, I have the beginnings of a successful internet business. I have sold over $800 worth of product and I could not have done it without all the support, knowledge and patience I have received from my coaches and the builder support team. When they said they will call to follow-up with you, they called, when they said they are here for you, they are! I would highly recommend Thrive to anyone who is interested in properly learning the business of e-commerce. The tools that you are provided are easy to understand, the videos are well done and extremely helpful, but yet you still get to talk to a live person when you need to. I can’t thank you enough, and hope to continue building a successful internet business!

It Has Been A Pleasure Working With Thrive

Dear Rob,

It has been a pleasure working with Thrive. The eLibrary the most helpful online tool I have ever seen, with all of the information easy to read in one location. All of the videos and benchmarks kept me on track at all times. I have set up many web sites in the past; none were as versatile or easy to use as Lightwave. If I ever had a question it is very easy to get support from people who have their own site experiences and vast information from the continued support of other Thrive members. I have sold over $1,500 in fishing rods over the last several months. It has been greatly rewarding to have my own successful online business.

Thank You,

When I joined Thrive, I had My Doubts!

I am skeptical by nature, so when I joined Thrive I had my doubts! Now, my website has been up and running for only 7 months, and I have had around $5,500 in gross sales. I am still learning and improving. I appreciate all the help from the coaches at Thrive, and can't wait to continue climbing the ladder to success. I WILL make it to the top, one rung at a time!

Thanks again,

I Must Express My Sincere Gratitude...

Dear Team,

A very good day to you. I must express my sincere gratitude to you all for the great work you have done in helping me building my site (www.realfunpaintball.com) to marketing. The experience was indeed great, even though I had absolutely no prior knowledge of building a site,let alone computer ''know how''. The overall knowledge I have gained is incredible, awesome, great, and I would not trade it for anything. I do now look forward to marketing and I trust the experience will be even greater, especially financially! You guys have been great, keep up the good work and may God bless you all. Looking forward to you helping with marketing my site.
Thanks again, thanks a million!

Love you all.

"Im Making Money While Im Learning...!"

Hi Thrive!

We just wanted to send a quick testimony of how our business has been going and give you an update. Since we have been working with Rob in the Marketing Department, our business has taken a dramatic change for the better. Rob has helped me understand Analytics, how to really do a "call to action" and how to get visitors to my site! Our visitors have gone from 50-70 per day to up to 200 per day! I know, crazy stuff! Not only that, but we have had some SamuraiSupply.com t-shirts made and have been giving them as a "bonus" to sales over $150. That added little extra alone has closed an extra 3 sales and something we may not have done for awhile if we had not had the privilege to work with Rob and be able to pick his brain. (there's quite a bit in there!)

Our gross sales are now up to over $5100.00 and we had over 9 orders in August which was great. We know our sales will just keep going up and we are pumped to see what the busy time of fall and Christmas will bring us. Considering we just put our site www.samuraisupply.com on the internet on March 31, 2009, we are doing awesome and I know it will just keep getting busier and busier! We are also just in the final stages of supplying a Canadian business with swords for them to sell in their store. This will be a HUGE customer for us and we look forward to all that being finalized in the next week.

It can be challenging be a stay at home mom of 2 young ones (3.5 years and 15 months old) to be able to do as much as I need to do or want to do at times. I am enjoying this business so much I want to work on it 8 hours a day and there are days I am only able to do a few hours. The fact that I love it so much, makes it not seem like work at all and I am so happy we chose Thrive so that we can have the freedom to still stay home with our boys and still be earning an income and ENJOY IT! In these hard times, to have a job or business that you want to spend more time at and you enjoy doing is quite a blessing and I am very thankful that we were able to find Thrive and start this business which I know will be successful.........heck, it already is!

My husband and I have also enjoyed collecting some of our own sword and have a couple of pictures attached for you to see! One of our favorites is the Bushido Bamboo Pearl Katana (has the black saya) which is just a beautiful sword. So many swords to choose from, so little time!
We just really wanted to thank you for all your help so far and especially to Rob Young in Marketing who has really made all the difference to us and our business since we have been working with him. I look forward to working for him for awhile to come as I still have so much to learn. See, another great thing, I am a beginner at all this and I am actually making money while I am learning.........how can you top that!!!

Talk soon!

I Made My First Sale

Hi Guys,I am so excited. Today I made my first sale. Yesterday things were a little complicated with a glitch in the builder. After a few phone calls back and forth with Tech help and Authorize.net we sorted everything out. Finally I called the customer back and he placed the order. I also e-mailed him this morning when I received his order and after I placed the order with River City.

Ben just called from my team one A. You guys really are the A-Team. All of you have helped me so much. Ben is absolutely the greatest. He is patient, kind and so understanding when I don't understand things right away.

Lee from Tech Help was also wonderful. There was a problem with the pricing on one of my products, and Lee was very helpful, and also patient and kind. We old people find computers very confusing so it helps so much when you young folks explain things to us.
Thank you so much.
God Bless you all.

Warm regards from Elizabeth

Hard Work Pays Off!

We are Aimee & Frank W, and our website is www.babydiapercakesandbaskets.com. My overall experience has been quite different, and what I mean by that is this is something I have never experienced before and am very proud to say that I took this learning experience and life changing opportunity with Thrive a shot. Honestly, I will say that there were many, many frustrations I encountered due to the fact I was completely a novice (with intermediate computer skills) with anything involving e-commerce and website building. The coaches I felt were great, I did experience receiving great coaching with non-haste and patience in explaining and helping me to fully understand all that was being taught to me. Some of the coaches that really stood out to me and I felt really helped me greatly and to better understand everything were Preston and Jarrett. Please give them my special, tremendous Thanks, as well with the other coaches. I did enjoy experimenting with the builder and being able to proudly say I created my "store". :-) I would say to future students... "Keep at it, never, ever give up, work hard at what you truly desire if you want to be successful. The feeling of accomplishment alone is absolutely rewarding, and the results of your hard work will definitely pay off." --

I Look Forward To Continue Working With Thrive

Before coming to Thrive, I tried numerous 'own your own business' plans. Some were more successful than others, but nothing really worked well for me. Since beginning to work with Thrive, I have learned much more about business in general, web business more specifically, than any of the other programs taught me. I now know more about marketing and product niches than before, and much more about keywords, tag lines, etc. than I ever even considered. My business is still small, but continues to grow. I have made over $1600 in gross sales since I began. I am hoping to achieve a steady income from my business, one that would supplement the income from my current job & potentially replace it down the line. I look forward to continue working with Thrive.

Thanks,

Hang In There And Be Excited For Whats To Come!

My name is Craig W. and I have made 2 sales on eBay for a total of $91! I was surprised how easy it was to find something my family wasn't using at the home and post it on eBay. The coaches provided GREAT critiques and feedback that I feel helped me stand out on the eBay listings. The major obstacle for me was understanding how I can take something from my home and sell it to someone else who would actually use it. The videos about how many people use eBay, how much money exchanges hands on eBay, and so on were really eye opening for me. These first steps on eBay may seem trivial and like you really aren't getting too much accomplished. If you do them and follow through with what the coaches suggest and follow the advice and benchmarks thoroughly, you'll find yourself feeling accomplished even after these little efforts. Hang in there and be excited for what's to come.

I Give Thrive a 10 Out Of 10!

My name is Naomi and I would rate my coaching experience a 10 out of 10. I sincerely appreciate the fact that my coaches show concern when I do not progress and I intend to "bug" them a lot in the near future. They are always courteous even though they have a right to be impatient with me and always answer my questions fully. I am pleased with what I have learned and the progress thus far. My biggest success has been finding Thrive. I tried to figure all this out on my own a few years ago, but didn't find the direction and help I needed. To future students: I would assure you that your associates are sincere in their efforts to help you get started in internet marketing.

I Made Money In Days - Not Months!

Making my first sale was a huge step forward for me. I was able to see that the coach’s methods worked very well. Simply following their step-by-step instructions started making me money within a few days of starting, instead of months down the road! Thanks Thrive, I’m really excited about continuing with the program!

On To The Next Stage!

I'm very excited to move forward with marketing. Can't wait!
Until January, 15 of this year I never even touched a computer. Everyone on your team responded in a courteous and professional manner. Detailed, straight to the point, answered any question I may have had. I could see my site looking better after every e-mail and, I would understand why. These last six months have been a long road. The reactive team as well as tech support have made this learning experience a pleasurable one for me.

I thank all of you!

This Program Actually Works!

I can' tell you how excited I am working with you! I've tried various other work at home programs and have not been successful with any of them. The promises (from other programs) state that they will help you and will be there for you always seem to be false. This is the first program I've worked with that I have actually made sales and have seen that I can make money! I am only in stage one of this program; however, I have seen more results than any other program I have tried. I started less than a month ago and it is amazing to actually feel that this can work! Of course my first sale was small, but once I became more familiar with how this works the profits are much greater. I figure sometimes you learn by your mistakes; however, I can honestly say at this time, I do not believe working with you has been a mistake at all. Thank you for giving me the confidence and knowledge to continue my success at home!

Sincerely,

Janet C.

Thrive Taught Me What I Needed To Know...

I would rate my coaching experience 9 out of 10. The coaches are excellent, the coaches on Team 2B were always helpful, always encouraging, always positive. Finding a supplier is huge. The most wonderful thing was finding a niche. I paid for this sort of coaching and training from another company nearly two years ago and they had me spend a couple of months examining my hobbies and interest, writing pages and pages and pages of lists of things that I liked and then doing web research that was not all that effective. I never found a niche that I could find any products for at all, and they never ever had me check to see how much competition I'd have. You cut through all that nonsense, my coaches convinced me that my hobbies and interests were irrelevant, showed me how to find a niche with enough interest and not too much competition. Brilliant! It was all worth it. If I know how to do all that I can build another web site and another. If it takes six of them to reach my income goal, at least I'll be able to reach it.

What An Amazing Journey!

I started with Thrive in February of this year and it has been a most rewarding journey! I have learned so much from the knowledgeable and patient staff, starting with setting up my business, choosing a niche market and building my website. All three departments have been very helpful, particularly Team 1C, the tech department, and the reactive team. They have never failed to return my calls and emails when I leave messages and are helpful and upbeat about everything! I now have a website I can be proud of and am working to improve the marketing so that I will have increased sales. I have made two sales, on products that do not show up as most visited, but were sales producers. I have learned that you never can predict what is going to sell so it is wise to present all your products as clearly and professionally as possible. It is exciting to be learning new skills that will be useful to me the rest of my life and I look forward to a continued relationship with Thrive. It truly has been worth the investment of time, energy and money and I'm sure it will continue to be even more rewarding as time goes on.

Made My First $1000!

Dear To Whom It May Concern,

Well, I have reached over my $1000 in gross sales and I wanted to let the Team's supervisor know how much I appreciate the Team! In a word, the team has been GREAT!They have been there for me through whatever obstacles and challenges I had to face and there were plenty. Whether it was road blocks with Ebay or finding a niche and drop shipper, they have been encouraging and that really helps. This is fun and rewarding but it takes time, effort, diligence, etc. The Team is kind and knows what to do and say to help me sustain my motivation during the bad and good. I enjoy the Team as people too! The personalities are a great fit with me and they feel like friends. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to work with them. I will keep on going, no doubt with the help from the Team!

Very Sincerely,

My Ebay Success

Hi,

I would just like to say Thank you to everybody on Team2A, For the wonderful help you have given me up to where I sold my first item. My massager ended up selling for more then double what I paid for. With you guys showing me listing tips, how to increase the effectiveness of my title name, and what to list in the description. Due my great listing a lot of people ended up watching the item. And i did have over 130 hits, on something that isn't popular on ebay. I thank all of you for your tips, I really apprecciate your quick response time. And how quickly I felt like I could trust and work you as my team. I wish I could call this success all mine, but i guess it is shared. One more thing, You 4 are great knowledgable coaches.

Thank you and I look forward to my next big step.

Couldnt Ask For A Better Program

Dear Team 2C at Thrive:

It was so nice to speak to Preston today. I filled him in on my progress so far, but Preston requested that I document it for all of you and that I try to get it to you today. Here it is, as promised.

I'll start by saying how pleased I am with Thrive and Team 2C's teaching and support. I know now that this is not something you venture into on your own. What I love most is that there's always someone there to reach out to for help; you don't wait long to get a response and you all care so much about the beginner's success. You have devised a program that is absolutely awesome. There's volumes to learn and some days I don't know how I'll get to learn it all, but in time I know I will.

After attending to all the steps to begin; namely, getting set up with selling on Ebay (I had already been a purchaser with excellent feedback); a premier account with Paypal, downloading the necessary tools, beginning with the assignments in Benchmarks on eLibrary (and what a great site that is----loaded with information and tools), I began listing with Ebay and Amazon. With the support of the 2C Team, I am working at fine-tuning the listings, which takes quite a bit of practice, trial and error. (Thanks, Preston, for your emails with plenty of excellent tips on improving my skills at listing, an enormous help.)

All my listings thus far are from many, many items in my apartment which I inherited from an estate. I am trying to list as many per day as time will permit, with the goal of making more and more improvements as I go along. I'm new at this, but I am not discouraged by this as I keep focused on reaching my goals. Right now I am vigorously searching and researching for products to sell and find it to be a most time-consuming as well as challenging endeavor.

I don't know how you match a student with a coach, but you sure did pick a great one for me. I have no doubt all the coaches are wonderful.

All of you at Thrive do a fantastic job and I am so grateful to all of you. My heartfelt thanks!

Kudos to Jim C for the wonderful coaching program he has put together, for his dedication, for his most informative newsletters filled with money-making tips, success stories and the great bonuses offered on mysilentteam.com. I'ts almost impossible to keep up with it all.

With all best wishes,

Angela D'A.

My Positive Experience

My first experience with Thrive was very positive. I am impressed with the elibrary resource. There is a wealth of information to help you get up to speed, in several areas, regardless of your experience or background. The Benchmark system is effective and well thought out. It steps you through the process of getting your website online. The sequence is right and with Thrive's coaching you will navigate in an efficient and cost effective way. The coaches continually point you to low cost/ no cost resources. Even after the initial coaching period, I have been able to get help when I need it. Lightbuilder support has frequently helped me with tips and many times made quick adjustments for me when I asked. I I am looking forward to an improving economy, continuing to build my website into a profitable business.

I Couldn't Have Done This Alone!

Thrive has been such incredible help getting my ecommerce site up and running. I never dreamed of being able to run an online business before working with Thrive. They have taught me how to build and maintain a beautiful website; choose products to sell; and actually start a business. Probably the biggest help Thrive has been is in marketing. I didn't have any understanding of online marketing before working with Thrive. They have really gotten my site off the ground and making sales. I couldn't have done any of this without all of the help and training I have received from Thrive!

One of the Best Investments I Could Have Made!

Thrive has been a one of the best investments I could have made. Even though there were a few disappointments along the way and a few expectations that were not met, I know that I will never regret enrolling in Thrive. Thrive launched me into a new season of my life and gave me the platform for leveraging my time and money for the future through the use of the internet. I currently have one drop-shipping website that is slowly starting to see success with just over $1,500 in gross sales since we started it 7 months ago. And I am about to launch my second website which I expect to have unlimited potential income. Thank you Thrive!

The Rise of a Successful Web Business

The Rise of the Ghillie Monster!

The "seeds" of the Ghillie Monster (Not to be confused with a Gila Monster, another dangerous lizard) were sown in early September of 2008 . Under the awesome tutelage of the folks at Thrive, Reliable Merchandising, LLC was born with with incredible aspirations for its future. We started trying to sell stuff on EBay, but quickly realized this was not life in the fast lane. As we started researching for a website niche, we became more and more intrigued with the idea of a dropshipping site. Sell stuff and just collect the money? That appealed to my innate laziness and the larceny in my soul.

With the outstanding coaching from Thrive's Team #1 I narrowed a few choices of topics down to Ghillie Suits. If anyone asks where I came up with ghillie suits, I have no clue. The actual building of "GhilliesandStuff.com" was actually a lot of fun. It was a totally new experience and I learned a ton of new stuff with the aid of my coaches. I wish I could remember all the names of the people I worked with and thank them for their patience. I'm sure I was not easy to cope with at times.

One of the most difficult parts of the process was finding product suppliers. It took a lot of digging, but I finally found enough to keep me in business. On November 12 of that year, the Ghillie Monster lost its virginity with it's first sale(which was canceled later for a reason I don't recall) and another the following day. Sales continued to trickle in through the rest of that year, I and had a few sales along the way this year and are continuing to pick up. To date the Ghillie Monster has grossed a bit over $5,000.00.

Reliable Merchandising also has 3 other websites with another under construction. Those sites are not doing as well as the Ghillie Monster, but they are all young yet. Ghillies has a PR of 2 while the others only recently achieved a PR of 1. I am told by others that it takes a couple of years before you start realizing anything from a website and from where I sit that seems to be a realistic figure. Then on the other hand, I hear a lot about a "hump" that has something to do with 1 year, and I still have a couple of months to go to reach that milestone. Rob has been diligently working with me to get me over that "hump".

While we start making money with these first sites, my eventual aim is to have an even dozen of them. I think the rest of them will be info sites with a lot of affiliate stuff. Eliminates the product worries. The Ghillie Monster was my firstborn and will always be my pride and hopefully joy. I look forward to working with you all until such time as we can declare the Monster a success.

I Now Make $60,000 Yr on my Website!

As a person that had no experience as a web site owner, I have to say that I have a great bit of knowledge now after being with Thrive for almost a year. My web business has come a long way from the start to be a successful business today. I now bring in about $50,000 to $60,000 worth of business a year and expect that to double by next year! All I can say is Thanks to Thrive I'm a successful Internet business owner.

Thank you Thrive and your team of great people.

Ebay Store Sales Are Beginning To Climb!

Hello to all at Thrive.

I want to express my gratitude to all. I'm starting to see some upward progress in my sales. I feel the amount of information and coaching to be invaluable to my continued success. I have attached an example sales report from my eBay store to indicate the growth pattern that Iam starting to see. Its very exciting when you move beyond the initial early part of the training into actually starting to see the benefit. I'm continually gaining more confidence in my coaches and builder teams. To those just starting out I would advise them to persevere. If you do you will get to a new level of aspiration to want to make it all work. I'm speaking from my own experience of course. I really enjoy the learning and understand where it will take me. Nothing worthwhile comes easy. I'm looking forward to getting my web site going. I will then take the knowledge Iam learning from the Thrive training and go forward to promote my site, knowing full well of the future benefits.

Best Regards,

$10,000+ on My Website!

My name is Theresa H and I love working for myself. I am the owner and operator of the web-store MonthlyWreath.com. The word I would use to describe Thrive Learning Institute would be “Redemptive.” Thrive Learning Institute has given me a new life. I joined the Institute the end of March of 2008 and went through the training. My website went live in July of 2008.
I am a bit of a realist and know that it takes time to build a business. Thrive has taught me that by using the techniques they have given me, that time line to building a business can be escalated. These techniques have proven to work.

I have heard that most internet business fail within the first year and yet to date my business has generated a gross total of $10,382.46. Not bad for being live for less than a year. People are finding me and I know that’s because of what Thrive is teaching me. The training has been superb and the marketing ideas are like the Niagara Falls; always flowing, always fresh. Thank you Thrive for giving me a new life!

Website Completed!

Team3b,

What we have learned? Wow, that's a tall order for me to type up everything we have learned so far, it's definitely been a lot. There's definitely a lot more work in building a website than we had anticipated but that's OK because realistically we would not have been able to do it without your help and it has been a great learning experience. We had absolutely zero experience when we started and now we have actually built a website that we can call our own, we know there is still a lot of work left to do on this site and as we do more research we find more and more different things that we would would like to do and add to this site as time goes by. Some of the different things we will save for our next website and others we will add to theelectrickitchen.com website as we start to make marketing changes and learn more about what works and what doesn't work for sales.

It would take me days to list in detail what we have learned so far but essentially what we have learned is how to build a website from the ground up the right way. Having the information available on the website, the support from team3b and the technical support available when we ran into issues was key to us being able to build this site, without your support and resources we would not even have attempted this because we would not have known where to start, we would not even have considered this as a viable option for our own business.

Team3b was able to help us on every step along the way, and most importantly if they did not have an immediate answer they were able to point us in the right direction so we could get what we needed in an efficient manner, this is critical for success in any business, and this I know first hand from my line of work. Questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner and were always very informative. Without the help from Mark, Josh, Jeff, Danielle, Will and Josh and Seyhun from lightwave we would not be where we are today, we would not have a website and we would not even have imagined it possible for us. Although we still have a lot to learn in all aspects we have reached a major milestone (for us anyway) and we would not have been able to do it without all of your help.

THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Michael and Sherry L

$1500 Profit On Craigslist In One Week!

Hi Kit:

I just wanted to thank you and the other coaches for taking the time to work with me. I have always been skeptical of selling things online. After buying this program- I started taking photos of some of the stuff I had at home (including my daughter's old bed). We listed it on craigslist and it sold within 3 hours...for $500. I got so excited that I started putting more things online, including some office furniture and old computers since we were moving our offices. We even promoted our office sale on craigslist (because there is no fee) and got some really good buyers. I also discovered that I can sell things online for 4-5 times more money than having a garage sale!!!

In just one week of posting and selling items that were taking up space, I have made $1,500! That has already paid back my initial investment in the Jeff Paul Club. I can't believe I waited years to actually try to sell something online. I don't know why I was so afraid to simply try it. For a self-professed "techno phobe" like me - that is a major step. This gave me the confidence to build a website and finally make money on the internet & not rely on an IT person or internet marketer to make all the money while I have all the risk and do all the work.

Thank you for empowering me to think globally and to never have to have a garage sale again!!!

Sincerely,

Melanie W. K.

My First Ten Days...

To The 2BTeam at Thrive:

You have for a testimonial of my progress.

So here goes. (I hope it is what you’re looking for)
I started with the Thrive program on May 5, 2009, and with my first assignment to complete, I started right then, (well, really it took me a few days to get going).
I had already listed on E-bay two items a couple of days earlier.
So after starting on Benchmark 1, and smoothing out the few snags that the team helped me with, I was off.

My first two listings, one sold, one did not….Hurray!!! I was a 50% successful E-bay seller.
I was working my way through the Benchmark videos, and slowly progressing through the chapters. I was already a seller, (starting in 2005) and had the Paypal account, but for the business I needed to change the bank info, I knew nothing of the “Me” page, or Auctiva, and had some issues getting my id to verify. The team was supportive through this frustrating period, and even though it took me much longer than I had set in my mind, I finally, after two weeks, completed Benchmark 1 with the 10 feedbacks to get my yellow star, and felt I had the confidence to move on.

As I worked my way through B-1, I was sorting through the excess of our house looking for the “right” items to sell, and began to use the listing tools I had learned about to help me list. The team was there, responsive to calls and e-mails, helping with input.

While working through Benchmark 2, all I could think was, “I do not need to acquire more stuff, so why do I need to know this?” I will admit now, after completing this piece of it, it helped me to be more aware, and on the lookout, for items that I could purchase new, and then sell for a profit. I found an item in our local store, (and it wasn’t even on sale)…I checked on E-bay completed listings, ran it through on labs.ebay.com, and looked all over for a wholesaler…could only find two listings for the product.

One showed the product selling, (w/o shipping) for the same price I paid for it, and another was selling it for a couple of dollars more, (also w/o shipping).

So I decided the way to make my listing stand out was to offer free shipping…I computed this using the e-bay postage calculator, and decided to complete my listing based on that information, (all tools that I had learned in B-2).

As it turns out, I can buy, sell, and ship this product and make $2.50/profit. Not great maybe, but low risk, (as I can/will only sell what I know I have in stock or can get easily), and I do not have to pay to have it shipped to me. The team was not thrilled with my choice, and offered some strong advice. I took some of it, and edited the listing. When the item starting selling, (I’ve sold 7 in 5 days), I think it caught us all by surprise.

I have completed listings for 11 items, and sold 9 of those items. I have currently 11 items listed, with active bids on 3, just sold 3 more, and have made about $215, though after the items with active bids clear, that amount will rise to closer to $375. Not too bad for what is really 10 days activity, and selling stuff from around the house, or close by to purchase.

I have learned there are no “wrong” items to sell, only listings that can be corrected. I have learned to ask lots of questions of all the companies: E-bay, Paypal, and my Thrive LI team. I have already had an inquiry on shipping a very heavy item to Europe, so have been on that venture with UPS. I have really learned that even though I feel I have progressed slowly, that I have created a solid base from which I will be able to build.

Off To A Good Start!

Yvette,

Thank you for your help in setting up my website. I could not have done it myself. It is so professional I have received many comments on it. I have received 6 orders (sales) so far.

Thanks Thrive

Hello Team 1A, I wanted to take a few moments to let you know about my experience working with your team on my first website, sundresscentral.com. You have been an integral part of my success in developing my online boutique and I want to thank you for all of your help in successfully educating me to the point of completion. I came into this without any knowledge on how to create a professional looking and marketable website and I am very pleased with the results! I will admit that I had some difficulty with the web building product (at first) and understanding the format that needed to be achieved to make this website marketable but with the help of Brandon and Eric, I believe I have a much better understanding of how important product presentation is and how to produce it. I want to give special thanks to Eric for all of the time and effort he displayed during this process.

Thank you very much Team 1A!

Thank You Thrive!

Dear Thrive,

Hello, my name is Chris F.

First of all I just want to say thank you! You guys have been a great help to me. Believe it or not 2 years ago I just learned how to use my email account and last year I learned how to use Microsoft Excel. Now this year with the help of you guys I built my own website! WOW! I am still amazed. It is a great accomplishment to be able to look at my website and know that I designed it all by myself. Of course with the help of you guys. You have all been patient with me and very flexible on sheduling calls to fit my shedule. I am new to this whole internet sales stuff, but I believe if I stick with it, this will be a successfull business. I only had 3 sales so far, but I know its a start. I know you guys will stay with me until this business blooms. My wife about made me sleep in the dog house when she first found out about the investment I made, but now she is starting to believe that this will work after she seen the 3 sales. We have a long ways to go yet, but like I said we have to start somewhere.

If anybody asks how I got this far and how this became I will gladly say, "Thrive!" I will reccomend you guys to anybody and everybody. This is a new road for me and Im happy to have you guys driving me on that road to financial freedom. I'm so confindent in you guys that I hope to build my new house a year from now with my profits that I make off my website.

Again Thank You,

Chris F.

Thrive Changed My Life!

I am writing you today to share my experience with you regarding my completion of Version 1.0. When I started building my website, I have to be honest, I thought, "What have I gotten myself into?". It was a little over my head and I started feeling a little overwhelmed. But these feelings were short lived. The coaching Team (A) was nothing but understanding, hugely attentive and so supportive and empathetic, I may add. They shared with me some of there overwhelming experiences and how they conquered them. I have gained an enormous amount of experience building this website. As a matter of fact, I have shocked myself. I have kind of shunned the latest technology, but this experience has led me to embrace it.

I went around and around regarding my domain name. Not having ever done this before, I wasn't even sure how to go about it. The coaching team gave me suggestions and even referred companies that designed logos. It took about three weeks, but with the support and encouragement from the Team, we were all extremely satisfied with the outcome.
I would tell anyone thinking about doing this to GO FOR IT!! I have gained a confidence I have never experienced before, and am so excited about what is yet to come.
Thank you Thrive for changing my life.

Client Makes $138.26 on Ebay

Dear Team 3-D,

Thank you for your response and continued support. This is all new to me and I need all the help I can get. I have some answers to your questions.I would like to commend the Thrive Institute for a very well thought out teaching program. When I was teaching at Midland College, I sat on the Curriculum Studies Board for the Occupational/Technical Division Courses for the Drafting Department. At the time, I was the Head of the Drafting/Reproduction Department for a major oil company and allowed to organize and write my own courses to teach.Your Benchmarks are a well thought out, stepped, progressive series of studies that helps tremendously for newcomers like me. They immediately get the student thinking about Internet sales, product sources and the steps to use them to be successful. The Coaching is there like a teacher would be in a class ready to help and answer questions.To date I have sold 15 items on eBay for $138.26 and have 9 more items in auctions now. I have received 11 positive feedbacks for these sold items so far. I know that is not much, but it is exciting for me.One of the most positive changes for me is looking every day for different product sources as I go around my daily routes of inspecting. Local auctions, second hand stores, resale shops, garage sales and surplus stores catch my eye and make me think how I could make money off items there by selling them on the internet.I know I have a long way to go, but a long journey begins with the first step!

Thanks again and have a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday.

My Support Was Great!

Deciding to create my own business and website was a huge decision for me. When I was offered the opportunity to have Thrive work with me to make it possible, I was both excited and scared at the same time. I was committing to them that I would finish and to myself. To me, there was no turning back from this decision. I was going to prove to myself that I could do this for my family and me. I was relieved that I had a company like Thrive to steer me in the right direction throughout the process.
The Support from the Thrive team was great. I did have my frustrations at times with the process. At times I felt held back from being able to move forward faster by skipping a few steps. But in the end of those frustrations I was able to understand that each step is needed to go on to the next step properly. My team would explain why they needed me to complete each step in a patient way which helped me in the success of finishing my website.
I was very surprised how long it took me to finish tentescape.com. I thought I would fly right through it and get it done. Building a website for me took time and patients. At times my computer had a mind of its own and it wanted to laugh at me. I worked out the kinks as they came a long with the help of the web-builder and the Thrive team.
Seeing my website, tentescape.com, finished and ready to go live to the internet world made me proud and scared at the same time. I have a business of my own. I created each page and am happy with what I see. I know this is going to be my baby for a long time and I will be continually working on it to improve it. I also see a possible other website in my future.
If a farm girl with a Physical Therapist Assistant licenses and very little computer knowledge can do this so can you. All you need is the will to make it happen and the Thrive team of coaches and Web-builders to walk you through it.

Bed Linens Superstore

My web site is www.bedlinenssuperstore.com and I started to work on it the end of April with some great coaching for my coaches at Thrive. The site was fully operational about April 15th and my first sales came on April 18th and totaled $250. So far I have made 3 more sales totaling $ 150 and I feel I have not yet reached my sites full potential. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to bigger and better things in the future and also to developing another site.

$42 eBay Profit

I have made $42.00. The coaching is very helpful. I need some more assignments and maybe another phone call so I can ask a few more questions regarding eBay. Can I schedule a call for tomorrow about 6:00 pm eastern time. I would recommend this program to others.

Thanks

$120 First Ebay Sale

My Name is Richard and I am 24 years old out of California. I would just like to say that I feel this program and its staff are exceptional, friendly and truly care about you and what it is they do, teaching you to make money on the internet. They are very responsive to your e-mails and calls and are a great group of individuals to work and learn from. I recently made my first sale for $120 in only a few days and I haven't even completed my web page nor had I done any marketing yet ! Myself and my team were very surprised and happy but I credit that to there guidance and teaching and I know once I am done and get things rolling full steam, that the sky is the limit. Thank you to the success team for what is soon to be a life changing career move for me.

First Ebay Sale

Sorry for the delay, but I was overwhelmed with phone calls yesterday and then the item I put up for auction, sold the same day and I was rushed to ship it out since I promised same day shipping or next day at the latest. Anyway, things have now calmed down and yes I have completed my assignments except for watching one video, which I plan to watch as soon as I finish this email.

The Item # is 250423173199 , ASICS GEL KAYANO 14 WOMENS RUNNING SHOES, SIZE 7 1/2. I worked till the wee hours of the morning, till about 2:00am to perfect the representation of this item and I used Auctiva and found it was so cheap and so much better in the way of presentation. The item sold at 5:26am Texas time. I had it up for auction as well as a buy now option, and an "early bird gets the worm". It was AMAZING! It was my first item that sold and I think I will remember the excitement of it for a long time!!!!!!

The fact that I stayed up till 2am in the morning is of no concern, since I never go to bed before 12 midnight, I am a night owl and so enjoyed putting a item up for sale that actually sold. I now plan to re-list the items I had before but in a whole different presentation. I want to experiment with Auctiva and see what else I can do!

Ready for my next assignment!
