I resisted buying this DVD course for some time, but my curiosity finally got the best me. I was looking for resources that would help me take my casual ebay activities to the next level. I was searching for resources that would provide me with some intermediate to advanced strategies.
I decided I would give this DVD a try for two reasons:
1) John Reese's exceptional reputation for internet marketing
2) The DVD title hinted that this might give me some insight to starting an online auction business.
After watching the DVD I quickly discovered that this course was not going to get me to the next level. This DVD is great if you are new to ebay and/or looking for a resource that will give you a strong foundation to start selling on ebay. It is not for ebay users who would consider themselves intermediate or advanced users. As a course for beginners, it is excellent, it will show you how to get started quickly and correctly and the information is well presented and easy to learn. Some of the highlights include: a complete breakdown and discussion of an actual auction, a great demonstration on creating good photos as well as proper packing and shipping techniques – two areas that tend to intimidate people starting out on ebay.
My biggest disappointment is that there is nothing in this course that addresses the second part of the title “A Step-by-step guide to running a successful online auction business”. Aside from John stating the great opportunity ebay offers for starting an online auction business, there is nothing in the course that will actually help you do that. So don’t buy this DVD thinking it will help you start an online business, because it won’t. It never delivers on that promise. So I am giving this DVD a rating of 3 for the well presented, solid content it offers for a beginner.
If you are just starting out, then this course will give you a solid advantage over those beginners who rely on the trial and error method. My recommendation is to get a copy on ebay and not pay full price, assuming you already have an account on ebay. I bought a new copy of this DVD from an authorized reseller for 1/3 of the price.

Google Profits Ebook - Wade Winger
Google Profits Ebook
Author: Wade Winger
Format: Ebook 2006 Version
User Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Implementation of Method: Easy
Cost: $39.95
Value: good
Money Back Guarantee: 8 weeks
Similiar Products: GoogleCash
Overview of Method:
The Google Profits method combines Google Adwords and Clickbank products. This is the same method as the GoogleCash Method by Chris Carpenter.
Does it work? Based on my experience testing the method - Yes, but not to the extent that the salesletter would have you believe.
I bought this ebook the same time I purchased Chris Carpenters' Google Cash. I wanted to see if there was a difference in how the two authors were using the same method. Having said that, it is hard to write a review of Google Profits without comparing it to Google Cash. Both of the ebooks promote the same money making formula of using Google Adwords to promote Clickbank products. But there are a number of differences, and I will cover those later. Speaking from experience, the Google Profits method works. I made my first few bucks online using this method, it was the first method I felt confident enough to try out. Glad I did.
So why 3 stars and not 5? The problem is that the information in the ebook is now outdated to some extent. You will not make the "huge online profits" that the title suggests if you rely on just the techniques covered in this ebook, but you are highly likely to make a few bucks. A few years back, one could make quite a bit of money using just these techniques, but with all the changes happening at Google and internet marketing in general, it takes A LOT MORE work than this ebook suggests.
Today using this method also takes A LOT MORE MONEY, more creativity, and more importantly, updated techniques. But with that said, if you are new to google adwords, clickbank, and internet marketing, then I suggest you pick up a copy of either Google Profits (Wade Winger) or Google Cash (Chris Carpenter). Because these are basic proven internet money making methods, and I strongly agree with Wade's closing statement; that after reading and applying the Google Profits Formula "you should be well on your way to making online profits or at least have a very good idea on how its done." After you have tested this formula out and made your first sale, then I suggest going the next step and getting an advanced product like Beating Adwords, Affiliate Project X or Ewen Chia's Secret Affiliate Weapon.
Google Profits or Google Cash? Google Profits (69 pages) Wade has a very succint style of writing which I appreciate, there is no fluff. The information is well presented, and easy to learn. The reader is not going to suffer from information overload as Wade breaks out the content of each chapter into two categories - Information and Action. Wade also provides a ton of high quality screen shots. In addition there is a Quick Start document, which is a cheat sheet, a one pager of the Google Profits method outlined in 15 steps.
Google Cash (135 pages) This is considered the original ebook on making money with Google Adwords and Clickbank. Personally, I find that Chris offers more content and detail than Google Profits. But then I am someone who likes more detail, techniques, etc. Chris also provides a number of great, easy to follow videos to support the ebook. And because he offers videos, I think Chris is able to go a bit more indepth with the method he teaches, and explain how he used it to create huge profits. Also as I write this, I know that Chris has done an update that attempts to address some of the Google changes (google slap) that have happened since both ebooks were written. I am not aware of Wade doing any kind of update around this issue for Google Profits. As with Google Profits, after Google Cash, you will need to find another advanced resource if you hope to make some bigger profits. I like these two ebooks because the google & clickbank method works, and it is one of the easiest and quickest methods to apply and get immediate results (not necessarily big profits).
