MisSpell Generator from Adam Ginsberg

Adam Ginsberg of AdamGinsberg.com is following the route of Mike Enos, amongst others and turning their previously open public website into a members only resource. Starting immediately visitors must optin to membership by offering their email address to gain access to the site.

It appears like the majority of the site has been redesigned since I last visited, and it’s now represents a much more professional and credible site.

For a limited period, visitors are offered free products in exchange for opening a members account. One of these is MisSpell Generator which Ginsberg normally sells access to for $49. MisSpell Generator searches though eBay listings on eBay, eBay UK, eBay Australia, eBay Ireland, eBay Canada and eBay India for item listings with misspelt word within the title.

For those unfamiliar why this would be of any use, then it’s worth remembering that the majority of searches performed by visitors on eBay are done though a keyword search. For example, users will enter the keyword “Sony Television” into the search box as oppose to clicking though to the relevant eBay category (Consumer Electronics >Televisions) and viewing all listings.

Essentially, if you misspell a word in your listing it will get significantly less exposure on eBay and will therefore get lower bids as the competition between bidders will less intense.

Although it’s unfortunate for sellers who misspell words, this brings an opportunity for bidders to grab themselves a bargain at the same time. A lot of bidders take advantage of these mistakes to win auctions, purely in order to relist the same items correctly and resell the goods on eBay at profit.

MisSpell Generator offers a selection of the most popular goods being searched for on the front page, as well as keeping a handy list of your previous searches below this for easy access. Searches can be filtered by eBay site and Misspell Generator also claims to remove potentially fraudulent auctions from your results, although it does not go into details of how this is done.

A quick search for the word Television is performed, and a few moments later 23 results are shown for misspelt items. Of these, 12 are Televisions, while the other items are TV accessories such as Ariels and Remote Controls. Following the misspelt results, the results for original spelling and common variations of “television” are shown. If you search for long enough, it’s a certainty you’ll find something worth bidding on.

Overall, MisSpell Generator is a handy tool to have access to while it is being included with free membership, although it is only being included for a limited period. There are similar tools available, that provide free access to the same results such as FatFingers.com but a quick comparison showed MisSpell Generator provides more listing than FatFingers.

Jim Cockrums, Part Time Plan.

Already available to existing customers who’ve purchased The Silent Sales Machine Hiding On eBay, Jim Cockrum will shortly be offering copies of his latest ebook - A Part Time Plan For Massive Success for about $29. If you have purchased Silent Sales Machine in the past, be sure to check out Cockrums blog to find out how you can get your complimentary copy.

At 67 pages long, it’s one of the longer ebooks we’ve reviewed. Cockrum goes to great lengths to create credibility for himself, taking up to page 11 to show the audience his previous works, alexa ranking of his websites and his constant clickbank sales that have kept his product at the top of the relevant category. Existing readers of the Silent Sales Machine, will be able to skip this as they will already be familair with Cockrums achievements.

Within the ebook Cockrum goes on to explain about different strategies used to make money from eBay and also what state each of the strategies positions you in. Are you glued to eBay 24/7 or do you have the freedom to leave your business on auto pilot, earning cash while you sleep. In common with most successful eBay strategies, Cockrums unsurprisingly revolves around marketing information products on ebay and online.

However Cockrum’s knowledge of how eBay works comes into a league of it’s own, when he offers some genius ideas for creating your product and even for testing the product to ensure there is a market for a product before you even start putting it together. This one idea by itself would be worth the price of the ebook by itself. As someone who has written hundreds of articles and several ebooks I would never have even considered going down this route.

He also offers his audience suggestions of niches that sell well, and full advantages and disadvantages of resources you’ll need to consider using along the way, should you follow Cockrums plan.

Overall, when you consider the fact that this ebook is currently offered free to customers of The Silent Sales Machine Hiding On Ebay, it’s highly worthy of the $29.97 cost for both ebooks.
