Costumes Are On The Rise
—————————-
It’s September and although many are thinking… BACK TO SCHOOL… eBay shoppers are pretty much past that and onto bigger and better things – like COSTUMES!
Yep! Costumes are on the rise… Do you know what’s selling?
(read on to find 5 of the top used costumes from last week)
Sherah Taylor has done it again – She has updated her very popular eBook, Secrets of High Profit Halloween Costumes for 2011. Once again, it is getting rave reviews.
Sherah was the publisher for Auction-Moms for 7 years and is well known for selling USED Disney Boo Costumes for over $120! She finds them for around $10 and turns them around on eBay.
All you need to know is which costumes sell the best… and Sherah lists over 250 USED costumes that sell regularly for $20-$80 on eBay this time of year in her eBook.
Not only that, but she spills the beans on how she works her magic with costume auctions – if you sell costumes (or even if you don’t – but want to), this is a MUST HAVE resource!
In fact, in this economy, this niche is perfect for online sellers because the turn around on inventory is so quick. You can, literally buy used costumes at thrift shops and consignment stores – and list them as soon as you get home!… Instant profits! And NOW is the perfect time for selling costumes.
Sherah is selling her eBook for $29… But, she is offering a deal that you will ONLY FIND FROM ME! (I pulled a few strings 😉
You can get her book immediately for only $17!!
Get your hands on Secrets of High Profit Halloween Costumes and save ONLY from HERE.

2. Residual and Automatic Income – Part 1
—————————-
I wonder if any of you are like me…
I have this curse where my mind just doesn’t seem to take a break. I’m always coming up with new ideas – and often it keeps me up at night…
I’m an idea person to the CORE.
Membership sites have been on my mind lately as I have been writing a step-by-step course that helps beginners build their very own… and, as I’ve been writing the course, I have just been blown away by how much potential there is for ANYONE to build an automated revenue stream from these kinds of sites.
As an online business owner, having a membership site should be at the top of your business ‘to-do’ list for a variety of reasons.
Why?
One of the biggest reasons…
A membership site gives you the SECURITY of a monthly income.
Think about it. Which is easier…
A. Finding 12 customers to buy ONE product, or
B. Finding 1 customer to make TWELVE automatic purchases?
There is no question about it… it is easier to find that ONE
customer than TWELVE.
And that is the beauty of a membership site… your customer
automatically spends money with you month after month to keep up
their membership!
It’s RESIDUAL income and it provides the ultimate security for
internet business owners (even eBayers!!). You know it is coming in
every single month… those rebills are your security blanket…
it’s revenue you can count on like clockwork.
You might be wondering, “What in the world does this have to do with selling on eBay?”
Well, here is the thing. If you are serious about building an online business, then you are probably aware that your reselling arsenol must be bigger than eBay… online success doesn’t come from putting all your eggs in one basket! Nope – it is important to have multiple revenue streams… and what is super cool is that you can create multiple revenue streams from the same audience!
For years I have been talking about the importance of building relationship with your customers… We have talked about how much easier it is to sell to an existing or previous customer than to find a new one.
Up until recently, setting up your own membership site has been a
bit of a challenge. Complicated and pricey ‘scripts’ to buy and
install that make membership sites work can be a huge pain… plus,
it can be a challenge to have the pressure to create consistent
content.
However… That has all changed!!
I’ve put together a 5 part series that shares some of the gold-nuggets in this new Start Here Membership course I’ve been developing. If you are interested in learning more about what a membership site looks like and how it can be a revenue generating tool for your online business, then you’ll want to follow along.

Hello Jenni,
When I received your e-mail about Halloween costumes, I did some searching on my own, just for curiosity sake, and I realized that many of the more popular costumes this year are rather on the expensive side. As you know, a costume usually only gets worn once, since most children don’t like to be the same character twice.
However, there are a handful of cute baby costumes out there this year tho which really surprised me. Usually the costumes are tailored to school-aged children instead.
Thank you for sending me the email about the costumes.
