Product Review – GoDaddy

Well it is Thursday and regular readers know that Thursday is Product Review day. Now today I am not going to review a product as such but more a company.

GoDaddy is the worlds leading domain registrars, and they host well over 36 million domain names and know offer other products such as SSL, Web hosting, and following on from the GoDaddy concept most items are 70% cheaper than other companies, but do not worry just because they are cheap they offer a great service.

GoDaddy offers a 24/7 customer service and the few times I have had to call them they have been very helpful and will not let you leave the call until they are sure the problem is sorted and you are happy, this is fantastic.

Another thing with GoDaddy is you can buy .com names for under $8.00 and if you can find discount codes this becomes much cheaper.

Are there any draw backs to GoDaddy, well there is one, their names are so cheap you can buy them to just try out a new idea or project.

Well it is Interview Wednesday, and I thought I would tell you a little more about myself and where I am coming from

Well now you know a bit more about Andrew Milburn and what makes me tick. If you would like to be included in my Interview series, please drop me an email at info@MyAuctionEmpires.com and I will send you over the questions. Thanks

Changes at eBay

Well as promised by eBay the changes have happened. Now from looking at them very briefly and from my viewing they do not seem as bad as a lot of people were making out.

Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of hype, story lines on blogs and forums that this is happening and that is happening and most of it has not happened.

If you have not yet seen the changes that are taking place please go along to this page at eBay Seller update July 2009 here you can read all the facts.

Later when I have heard my mentors pass comment I shall do a further blog post, and until then, it is business as usual.

Happy Selling

How To Use Twitter

Well it is Saturday and Saturday at My Auction Empires is How To Day, and the How To for today is Twitter.

Twitter is a what is known as a Micro Blog and allows you to use 140 characters to tell your followers what you are up to.  Twitter can be up dated from your computer or from your mobile phone.

So if you are not yet part of Twitter then pop along to http://www.twitter.com and you will see a screen like this.

Now if you are a member sign in as normal, but if you are new click on the green “get started – Join” button at the bottom. You will then be taken to a screen like this

Just follow along and fill out the boxes. Now before you pick a user name think what you are going to be using it for. You are allowed to have multiple accounts by the way, but also remember that you need to keep them up to date, so my advice is have a main one and then some sun ones when you want to test some things.

Once you have signed up you will see a page like this :

This is where you can follow people and see who is following you. In future blog posts I will cover how you can use it to drive traffic and make sales on your sites.
But some advice, give content at all times and make a few pitches as well and your followers will love.

A great book to help you understand the Power of Twitter is called Twitter Power by Joel Comm my advice is buy this book today and start to read and put into action what Joel tells you.

Uk Product Source –

Fancy Dress Costumes

Well we are at Friday and that is Product Sourcing Day, for this weeks UK Product Source we are looking at the popular trend of Fancy Dress.

Now you may be thinking that the Uk is in recession and there is no money, but we are talking about Fancy Dress here…………. Now some years ago people connected Fancy Dress with kids parties and while that is still the case and my chosen supplier is in fact launching a fabulous brand new range of kids out fits, the growing trend is in the Adult Fancy Dress.

Now for our UK Product Source I have chosen Wicked Costumes, they are one of the UK’s Leading Product Sources for fancy dress and accessories.
Also you may be thinking it is summer time who will be thinking of fancy dress that just happens at Christmas and New Year. Yes and No.

This is where you need to be thinking products and not what you think. Let me give you some ideas :  Stag Nights, Hen Nights, Pop Festivials, Rag Weeks, Club Nights, Student Club Nights, 18th Birthday’s, 21st Birthday’s and the list goes on.

The UK may have money problems but the 18 / 30 age group still have money, they have credit cards and they like to have fun and are willing to spend to have fun.

Wicked Nights have 1,000’s of items in stock and they keep adding to their range, and as I mentioned before they are adding some great new ranges to their kids costumes in August.

Some of the other highlights that make Wicked Nights a great UK Product Source are :

Next Day Delivery
Stunning Art Work
Multiple Sizes
Brilliant Retail Packaging
Wicked foot wear
New lines arriving on a weekly basis

So go on what have you to loose, give them a ring on 01294 314038 and ask to speak with Nicola and Steven or visit the website at http://www.wickedcostumes.co.uk and be part of a great and growing trend and also a market with very good profit margins.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this week’s UK Product Source

Well it is Review Thursday and I am going back to a program I have review before. Why ? Well OSI Rock Stars is as far as I know one of the best e-c0mmerce training programs there is out there, and I have been part of it is before time began.
And I believe in being honest with my readers and I joined OSI Rock Stars when it was in beta testing and as a thank you was given some free months.

Now I am in business and ok it was free and offered great content, the day came when I had to start paying, big make up your mind time, do I cancel…………………………  NO WAY the training that I had , had and am still getting is worth every penny, and I paid the second I had the email from Janelle Elms.

Another reason why I am telling you again about this program is that Janelle is about to put the prices up on the 3rd August 2009. So if you want to get in at the cheaper rate waste no time click on the banner below.

At present you will be paying :

$15 a week ~ Only offered for a limited time ~ Your membership price will never go up as long as you continue to be a Rock Star!

OSI Rock Stars is broken down into three areas : Newsletter, Forum, Education.

Each week you get your newsletter with a recap of the last week along with any news from the selling platforms, and then up and coming classes. (A point here OSI Rock Stars covers all the main selling platforms)

After the newsletter comes the Forum, here you will find main forums and within each forum you will find many threads, as the rock stars are spread all over the world, you can ask a question and very soon you start to see answers coming in, and of course if you know the answer to a question, just pop in and give your thoughts and ideas.
