ABOUT LEE MCINTYRE (AUTHOR OF AUTO AUCTION INCOME)

ABOUT AUTO AUCTION INCOME
In his first ebook, Auction Profits Unleashed, Lee explained how he uses eBay to generate leads for digital products. In Auto Auction Income Lee takes a few steps back and outlines how to set up and manage your eBay store and get it ready to sell digital products. This is quite a comprehensive subject which Lee breaks down into the following chapters inside Auto Auction Income:

• Setting Up Your eBay Empire the ‘Right Way’!!
• Setting Up Your Own eBay Store!!
• Managing Your eBay Store!!
• Customising Your eBay Store!!
• Creating Your eBay Listings!!
• Digital Delivery Using E-Junkie!!
• Digital Delivery Using DLGuard!!

In the first chapter “Setting Up Your eBay Empire the Right Way”, Lee describes his first experience of selling digital products on eBay and a key mistake that he made. Lee did not fully automate all aspects of his eBay business. A problem was thrown in his path which could have easily been avoided had his eBay business been fully automated. Instead the problem cost Lee 6 weeks of lost business - a loss which he values at $2500. This chapter is short and to the point but it teaches a vital lesson for those setting up their eBay stores - don’t cut corners and don’t miss anything out along the way.

The next chapter of Standing Start Profits is “Setting Up Your Own eBay Store”. Lee begins by outlining the benefits of an eBay store for serious sellers. He then goes on to cover in great detail with screenshots; registering with eBay, opening your eBay store and registering with Selling Manager Pro. This isn’t new information to me but for a beginner I can see how it would be useful.

After this the third chapter of Auto Auction Income covers “Managing You eBay Store”. Lee begins this section by explaining how to navigate around your ‘My eBay’ page and outlining what the various icons mean using screenshots. Next he explains (with screenshots again) how to automate various aspects of your eBay business including; the leaving of feedback, the sending of customised outgoing emails and most importantly the listing of your auctions. The information in this chapter is solid. In particular, the instructions on how to automatically list your auctions is a great time saver.

In the fourth chapter Lee covers “Customising Your eBay Store” and again illustrates all his instructions with screenshots. First, he covers the importance of having a unique shop logo, how to get one and how to get it online. After this Lee explains how to change the colours and layout of your eBay store. Following on from this Lee goes on to discuss how to set up store categories, how to set up promotion boxes, how to select your eBay store’s keywords and how to set up end of auction emails. You can discover most of the information in this chapter yourself simply by spending a few hours playing around with the various eBay store features located in ‘My eBay’. However, by reading Lee’s instructions you can save a lot of time and find out exactly what you need to do. Overall, another good, solid chapter.

Next Auto Auction Income goes on to cover “Creating Your eBay Listings”. Lee, like a lot of other sellers, recommends eBay’s Turbo Lister tool as the best way to create your eBay listings. I personally don’t use Turbo Lister - I instead create the listings using eBay’s Sell Your Item form then set them to automatically relist. Therefore, I haven’t been able to fully test this chapter. However, Lee goes into great detail explaining how to create your eBay listings in Turbo Lister and I’m sure I would have no trouble using Turbo Lister by following Lee’s instructions. My main criticism of this chapter is that Lee could have gone into a little more detail when covering the actual design of your auction. Those who are new to eBay are not likely to be familiar with designing listings in HTML and may require more information than is provided.

The final two chapters of Auto Auction Income are “Digital Delivery Using E-Junkie” and “Digital Delivery Using DLGuard” which both cover how to automatically deliver your digital products to customers after the payment has been made. E-Junkie and DLGuard are two tools that I do not use. I instead use the excellent My Digital Dispatch to automatically delivery my ebooks on eBay. However, Lee has again gone into great detail and used screenshots to explain how to use these two tools. I’m confident he has covered everything that potential users will need to know.

Overall, I really like the way Lee has presented Auto Auction Income. He has used a lot of screenshots and detailed instructions to explain the ideas and methods in his ebook. Presenting the information in this way makes it a lot easier for people that are not confident in using eBay to follow the information and ultimately set up their eBay store. Although for me the actual information is nothing new or groundbreaking - Lee’s presentation is excellent. If you are looking to set up your first eBay store and start selling digital products then there is some good information contained within Auto Auction Income. However, if you have some experience selling on eBay and have operated an eBay store for some time there may be little new information for you here.

GOOD POINTS

• The detailed step-by-step instructions with screenshots are very easy to follow. You can implement them as you read.
• Automating all the aspects of your eBay store, as Lee discusses in Auto Auction Income, will save you a considerable amount of time.
• Auto Auction Income acts as a good checklist to make sure you have completed all the steps towards automating your eBay store.

BAD POINTS

• I feel Lee could have provided a little more information covering the design of HTML listings.
• People who have used eBay and eBay stores before may be familiar with some of the ideas Lee covers and find little new information.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM AUTO AUCTION INCOME
I have been operating my eBay ebook store for a number of years now and because of this I didn’t really find anything new inside Auto Auction Income. However, if I had read this ebook when I was starting out it would have been very useful to me - answering a lot of my questions and saving me a lot of time.

ABOUT STANDING START PROFITS
Standing Start Profits provides subscribers with a number of resources for budding Internet Marketers which I have outlined below:

• Mentoring Forum!!
• Training Videos!!
• Special Offers!!
• Lee McIntyre Recommended!!
• Expert Interviews!!
• Marketing Tools!!
• Extra Bonuses MRR!!
• Extra Freebies!!
• Rebrandable Reports!!

For this review I will go through Standing Start Profits section by section. The first section is the “Mentoring Forum”. The forum has lots of useful sections including ‘Ask the Experts’, ‘Internet Marketing Chat’ and my favourite section ‘eBay Advice and Guidance’. The forum is a great way for Standing Start Profits members to interact with each other. Although it’s not as busy as the Warrior Forum I like the fact that it has a special eBay section being an eBay seller myself.

Next are the “Training Videos”. The first video is entitled ‘Give and you shall Recieve’ and runs for just over 11 minutes. In this video Lee explains how he established himself online and gives the viewer two pieces of advice which he believes you should follow before you start trying to make money online. The next video is ‘Create a Product that’s in Demand’, a 10 minute video which as the title suggest describes product creation. The third video is ‘The Power of Social Proof’ which runs a little over 12 minutes. Here Lee discusses the power of testimonials and how he went about collecting testimonials for Auction Profits Unleashed. The video after this is ‘Your Sales Person in Action’, an 11 minute video in which Lee gives his advice on how to construct your sales page. The fifth video is ‘Use a Launch Pad for Blast Off!’ which runs for 14 minutes. Here Lee explains how he successfully pre-launched Auction Profits Unleashed and created lots of interest. In the next 12 minute video, ‘Earn Money and Build and Asset’, Lee explains how to use your product launch to build a list. The seventh video is ‘Leverage your Success’, a 14 minute video which goes into detail on how to secure joint ventures for your product and how he did this for Auction Profits Unleashed. The video after this is ‘Overdeliver and Profit!’ which runs at a shorter 8 minutes. Here Lee explains how you can build a good brand image by overdelivering. The ninth video runs for 10 minutes and is entitled ‘Multiply your Efforts by 100!’. In this video Lee covers how to build an army of affiliates your product and how he did this for Auction Profits Unleashed. In the final video, ‘Carry on Building’ Lee discusses why you should not stop after one product but keep building your business. Overall, I really liked these videos. Lee offers a complete guide to creating your own products and making money online but most importantly he shows you how he did it with Auction Profits Unleashed. This is really important because it gives you a real life example that you can follow but it also shows you his ideas work. Plus, Lee also offers additional free videos for subscribers to Standing Start Profits each month. At the time of writing this review, the additional videos included; ‘JVs under the Spotlight’, ‘The Power of the Free WSO’ and ‘Newsletter Marketing 101′. This is an excellent section. Lee has really overdelivered and the videos alone are worth more than the price of membership.

The third section is “Special Offers”. The offers range from discounts on certain products to free bonuses when you purchase the products. For example, in this section Lee offer’s James Penn’s short report profits with a $10 discount and a free ebook. If you’re looking to get these products with some added value then this is the place to go.

The next section is “Lee McIntyre Recommended” where Lee recommends certain products. To be honest although they’re solid recommendations you won’t learn anything new in this section.

The fifth section is “Expert Interviews”. Here Lee offers interviews with the experts in PDF format plus some also come in audio format. The interviews change each month but at the time of writing this review they included; ‘Stephen Wagenheim’, ‘Sam Stephens’, ‘Kevin Riley’, ‘Dr Mani’, ‘Dean Shainin’ and ‘James Penn’. The interviews are insightful and allow you to see how the full time Internet Marketer’s operate. Overall, a good section.

Next up are “Marketing Tools”, “Extra Bonuses MRR”, “Extra Freebies” and “Rebrandable Reports”. In these sections you get a LOT of free ebooks and digital products. Some come with no redistribution, others with resell rights and some have rebranding rights. Again the products change each month but there’s a lot of really good content. One highlight was a $47 dollar ebook that Lee had managed to secure for members absolutely free of charge. Being an eBay ebook seller the products with master resell rights and rebranding rights are of particular interest to me but there’s should be something here to suit everyone’s taste. Overall, this is another excellent section in which Lee has overdelivered once again.

So in conclusion what did I think of Standing Start Profits? It’s an excellent resource for people who want to get started making money on the Internet. The freebies, interviews and videos all more than justify the purchase price individually. The fact that you get it all for such a good price represents amazing value and amazing generosity on Lee’s part. My favourite section is definitely the videos. In these videos, Lee gives you a really good insight into the work behind his highly successful launch of Auction Profits Unleashed and how he ultimately ended up earning over $7000 in 30 days. They’re useful on so many levels. First, you can use the principles behind Lee’s launch and apply them to your own products. Secondly, they show that it is possible for a relatively unknown Internet Marketer (as Lee was before the launch of Auction Profits Unleashed), to earn a significat amount of money online in a short period of time. The other resources are very good and I will definitely be using some of the reports with master resell rights for my own eBay store. However, the videos really seal the deal. As I expected Lee has over delivered again and created yet another amazing product in Standing Start Profits.

GOOD POINTS

• The videos really do have everything. Advice that can be applied to your own products, real life examples, proof that they work and more.
• The interviews are a really good read and offer an insight into the life of full time Internet Marketers.
• The free ebooks are a nice addition and useful to me as an eBay ebook seller.

BAD POINTS

• The Standing Start Profits forum is relatively quiet compared with the Warrior Forum.
• The special offers weren’t very useful to me.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM STANDING START PROFITS
The direct benefit of becoming a member of Standing Start Profits is the free ebooks with master resell rights. I can now add them to my eBay ebook store. The videos have also given me a lot to think about before I launch my new product. I feel they will really help my next product be a huge success.
