ABOUT ALEX JEFFREYS (CREATOR OF EASY PROFIT AUCTIONS)
Alex Jeffreys got started selling information products online by reading Jim Cockrum's ebook The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay.  At 23 he quit his full time job to become a full time Internet Marketer.  Alex has also created a number of his own digital products.

ABOUT THE EASY PROFIT AUCTIONS WEBSITE
The Easy Profit Auctions system provides you with a number of resources to help you use eBay as a platform to create multiple streams of income.  The website is split into the following sections, each of which I will explain in the paragraphs below:
- System!!
- Introduction!!
- Index!!
- Ebay!!
- Videos!!
- Bonuses!!
- Tools!!
- Audios!!
- Support!!
- Forum!!

The first section is "System" which funnily enough provides you with an overview of the Easy Profit Auctions system.  In this section Alex explains 'Where to Start', 'The best way to set up your System' and 'What you will achieve once your system is in Place'.  He then finishes this section with an article entitled '35 Different ways to build a Mailing List'.  Overall, this section does contain some useful tips but it is mainly a summary of the rest of the website contents.  However, the article '35 Different ways to build a Mailing List' is very informative and contains lots of useful ideas - some of which I already use and others which I plan to implement.

Next is the "Introduction" section.  In this section Alex gives readers an insight into his background and how he got started online.  He cites Jim Cockrum's The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay as his main inspiration, a recommendation which I also back.  He also explains that just because your business is 'virtual', it does not mean you don't have to put in the time or effort - another statement that I agree with.  As this section is just an introduction, there isn't really any useable information, but Alex does state some home truths about online business which I myself agree with.

In the following section, Alex Jeffrey's moves on to explain his system in greater detail.  First, Alex discusses why sell ebooks.  You probably already know by now the benefits of selling ebooks, but if not then they are provided here.  After this he discusses just how big the ebook business on eBay is, and provides screenshots to back up his estimates. Again, most people know the ebook business on eBay is huge and this section highlights just how large it really is.

After this Easy Profit Auctions goes on to explain "Why write your own Ebooks?"  Alex first answers this question then goes on to explain; Private Label Rights, Viral E-Book Marketing, E-Books without Resell Rights, E-Books with Resell Rights.  I found this section particularly informative.  I agree with Alex that creating your own products is very important and the key to success online, and in this section Alex covers all the bases of ebook creation in a concise, easy to follow format.  In particular Alex provides one great tip for ebook creation which I've never considered before.  Overall, an excellent section.

Alex then goes on to discuss the tools you will need, breaking them down into sections.  He first provides links to the tools you will need and then lists some more recommended tools.  After this he explains some of the tools in greater detail.  Some of the tools he discusses are Selling Manager Pro, Automated Digital Delivery Software, Pop 3 Email Accounts and your own website.  Again this is another excellent section from Alex.  He tells eBay ebook sellers why they need each of the tools and how they all work in conjunction to run and automate your eBay ebook business.  As a fellow ebook seller I use many of the tools Alex discusses here and find them a must in terms of time and cost savings.

Next Alex discusses keeping track of traffic to your eBay auctions and affiliate marketing.  After two extremely informative and detailed section, I found these sections rather basic.  The section on keeping track of your traffic tells you how to do so but that's all.  Likewise the section on affiliate marketing explains affiliate marketing in rather basic terms but that's all.  However, to his credit Alex does provide links to two great affiliate marketing resource where you can do further research into the topic if you so wish.  Overall, both sections are rather short and basic and don't contain much information.

After this Alex then goes on to discuss eBay related issues beginning with feedback.  In this section Alex details his 'golden rules' of feedback and also provides some tips on how to build your feedback quickly.  This section is quite detailed and informative.  Although some of the information is quite logical, it is useful and the tips on building your feedback quickly are great.

Following this Alex moves on to discuss using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Languge) in your eBay auctions.  In this section he makes the very valid point that if you learn the basics of HTML, then you will be able to give your auctions a professional look.  Alex then provides a link to a great free HTML training resource.  I myself use HTML in all my eBay auctions and agree with Alex that you do need to learn the basics in order to enhance the look of your eBay listings.  Overall, Alex makes a good point in this section and provides readers with a great resources to learn HTML.

Next Alex moves on to "Auction Tips" where he explains in great detail how to approach your eBay listing.  Alex goes into great detail stating; how to choose a title, how to become a PowerSeller fast, how to create a good sales page and much, much more.  I was personally very impressed with this section of Easy Profit Auctions.  It is very detailed and Alex pretty much covers all bases concerned with selling ebooks on eBay.  In particular, Alex covers the construction of your sales page perfectly, providing tips on both the content and design, as well as telling you how to communicate effectively with your prospective customers.  This is definitely one of the best sections of the Easy Profit Auctions website and I rate it as one very fine resource.

Alex then goes on to discuss using both "About Me Pages" and "eBay Shops".  In the section on "About Me" pages Alex discusses how to use your own about me page creatively to generate traffic, and in the section on "eBay Shops" he discusses the benefits of getting your own shop.  The creative about me page ideas are good, solid ideas, and I know that they work because I implement them myself.  The benefits that Alex lists as factors to get your own eBay shop are also good reasons which should get you thinking about opening your own eBay shop.  However, I feel Alex could have gone into greater detail explaining both these topics.

In the next section of Easy Profit Auctions, Alex provides customers with over 20 videos related to selling ebooks on eBay.  The topics he covers in these videos include "Leave a feedback trail", "Brand your Ebooks", "Automate Ebay 100%", "Backend Selling on your Thankyou Page" and much more.  To be honest I didn't have chance to watch all the videos but the one I did watch, "Automate Ebay 100%", was very detailed.  In this video Alex dictates step-by-step instructions on how to set up all your eBay emails to be sent automatically and also how to use these emails to generate a little extra traffic.  All in all a great video.  If any of the other 20+ are half as good to go buy then this is a great resource from Easy Profit Auctions.

After this Alex also provides a collection of audio interviews with big Internet Marketing names including Mike Filsaime and Jason James.  These are again valuable resources and I always feel it's nice to hear other people's success stories.

The final section of Easy Profit Auctions is "Bonuses" which gives customers access to further free resources.  These free resources include; SmartDD (a digital delivery solution), lots of resellable ebooks, free courses and a collection of private label content.  Alex also provides access to his tele-conferences in this section.  Overall, it looks like a good collection of bonuses with plenty of content made available.  I didn't have a chance to check it all out, but from my initial browse it looks like a great addition to the Easy Profit Auctions site.

On top of all the above sections, Alex Jeffreys also provides Easy Profit Auction customers with a forum.  After a quick browse of the forum it looks like a friendly place and a good source of information.  It's a nice addition to the membership site as it allows customers to come together and discuss the ideas they have learnt, ask for help when needed, and integrate with like minded eBay ebook sellers.

In conclusion I found Easy Profit Auctions to be a very good resource for eBay ebook sellers, particularly for the price that Alex is charging.  He covers a lot of information in his membership site and provides some great bonuses for customers.  My main criticism is that I feel maybe Alex has taken on too much with this membership website which means not all topics are covered with the same level of detail.  For example, the "Auction Tips" section contains an incredible amount of details, whereas the "About Me Page" and "eBay Shop" sections are considerably less detailed.

Overall, I would recommend Easy Profit Auctions to eBay ebook sellers who are relatively new to the game.  Although there is information here which caters to the more experienced eBay ebook sellers, new sellers will gain more.  To illustrate this point further I would say that I am a relatively experienced eBay ebook seller, who has done a good level of research into selling ebooks on eBay.  I've also put my research into practice over a number of years.  Because I have a good working knowledge of eBay, many of the ideas Alex discusses are not new to me.  However, if I had come across this information two or three years ago then I would have benefited highly from lots of new ideas.  I still did learn some new things but I feel ideas such as; using your about me page creatively, the benefits of having an eBay store, and using HTML in your auctions would benefit new eBay ebook sellers the most.

GOOD POINTS
- Alex makes a valid point in that you need to be creating your own ebooks, and provides multiple ideas to get you started on this trail.
- Alex provides a good, comprehensive list of tools that will aid eBay ebook sellers.
- The HTML resource Alex provides is great for those who need to add some sparkle to their eBay auctions.
- The "Auction Tips" section is one of the best sources I have read on creating an eBay listing to sell ebooks.
- Alex provides a multitude of great resources including videos, ebooks, software and courses which are probably worth the price of membership alone.
-The forum is a nice addition which adds a personal touch to Easy Profit Auctions.

BAD POINTS
- Some sections are lacking information including the "About Me Pages" and "eBay Shop" sections.
- Some sections do seem like they have been added as filler content, for example the section on keeping track of traffic to your eBay auctions.
- For some of the resources you have to provide your email address to gain access.

HOW I HAVE GAINED FROM EASY PROFIT AUCTIONS
As I said in the review, although there is a lot of great information in Easy Profit Auctions, I am already implementing a lot of them.  However, I did learn a few things including some valuable ebook creation tips and some list building tips I had never considered before.
