Allen Thrives With eBay

Hi My name is Allen and my first item on eBay sold for $180.50! I feel really good about selling on eBay. Its a place to find decent deals and to give people good deals. The main thing that my coaches has done was actually setting me up with the things to do this.

I am learning to work with my brain now other then the physical contents. Its a whole new ball field for me. And a whole new experience. Future Students: Be strong mentally. Do not quit. Do not give up and do not wimp out. Not now. Not never.

Thrive Helps Joyce Be Persistent

I am Joyce and I have made 2 eBay sales for $10. It's been great and my coaches have answered all my questions. I have overcome many obstacles because I still get overwhelmed with too many details all at once, but my coaches just keep telling me I'm ok and I'm doing everything I should be.

I am too hard on myself and think I should be going faster, although I know my brain can only hold so much at one sitting. Future Students: take you time and just keep moving forward.

Cyndi Soars with Thrive Learning Institute

Dear Thrive Learning Institute,

Before coming to Thrive, I tried numerous 'own your own business' plans. Some were more successful than others, but nothing really worked well for me. Since beginning to work with Thrive about 18 months ago, I have learned much more about business in general, web business more specifically, than any of the other programs taught me. I now know more about marketing and product niches than before, and much more about keywords, tag lines, etc. than I ever even considered. My business is still small, but continues to grow. I have made over $1600 in gross sales since I began. I am hoping to achieve a steady income from my business, one that would supplement the income from my current job & potentially replace it down the line. I look forward to continue working with Thrive.

Thanks,
Cyndi

Sarah Great Advice for Future Students of Thrive Learning Institute

My name is Sarah and I have sold 2 items on eBay for $109. The overall eBay experience has been a good one. It has been a couple of years since I sold anything on eBay, so, I had to work my way through it, gingerly for the first one, doing my research on each, but as I progressed, it became easier and easier.

Our coaches have been there for me, cheering me on, and I have one page and 2 listings on another page, now. When I listed the first one or two , I sent the coaches an email, telling them and giving them the listing #s. I continue sending in the listing numbers to them. To future students, don't be afraid...ask questions of your coaches, and above all, DO YOUR RESEARCH!! Know your product , inside and out, and be prepared to spend a lot of time on it, at first, and then, it becomes easier and you will list them more quickly. Persevere!!!

Miriam give Thrive Learning Institute a 9 out of 10

Thrive,

My name is Miriam and I would rate my experience with Thrive's coaching a 9 out of 10! I am very pleased with my coaching experience. Being guided and given personal attention is just what I need. Being able to reach the team by phone, email, and chat room is great. They are always polite and helpful.

They give me the space to make my own decisions and learn from my mistakes. I'm excited with my blogs and look forward to the next step. I just learned about the on-line webinars and archives which I feel will also be very helpful to me. I like that they call each Friday to check up on me. When I go to chat on the internet and they quickly respond. Future Students: Listen to the audios and videos on your niche and follow their directions. Don't give up. Persevere and you will learn what to do. They are there to help you.

Craig is Making Great Progress with Thrive Learning Institute

Thrive Learning Institute,

My name is Craig and I have made 2 sales on eBay for a total of $91! I was surprised how easy it was to find something my family wasn't using at the home and post it on eBay. The coaches provided GREAT critiques and feedback that I feel helped me stand out on the eBay listings. The major obstacle for me was understanding how I can take something from my home and sell it to someone else who would actually use it.

The videos about how many people use eBay, how much money exchanges hands on eBay, and so on were really eye opening for me. These first steps on eBay may seem trivial and like you really aren't getting too much accomplished. If you do them and follow through with what the coaches suggest and follow the advice and benchmarks thoroughly, you'll find yourself feeling accomplished even after these little efforts. Hang in there and be excited for what's to come.

Thanks,
Craig

Couple Makes $2800 with Thrive Learning Institute

Hi Thrive Learning Institute,

Ted & I continue to experiment with eBay. Listing things in auction in different categories to get attention to our store. We have been using Packing Slips with our Store Name on them & Logo, We made some business cards and are including them with the packing slip along with a promotional flyer and a small 3"X3" handmade Thank you! card.

Our sales for the last 7 days is $501.00, 90 days is now $2800.00

Our original goal before we started with Thrive was to make at least $100.00 per week on ebay. We really only started in May with that goal so we feel that we are learning a lot and progressing.

Keep up the good work Thrive,
Thanks,
Annette & Ted

Harry is Making Great Progress with Thrive Learning Institute

Dear Thrive Learning Institute,

I have made 10 sales on eBay for a total of $174.38. I had a pretty hard time starting out because I had to learn a lot of basic stuff. My coaches have had to show me a lot of elementary dreck that I should have already known. My coaches for the most part seem to be patient-for that I'm grateful. I'm really a beginner when it comes to ebay, but I'm learning little by little.

I just sold a trilobite fossil ring for $46. Actually that's about right for this ring-maybe a little high, but she wanted it pretty bad! Probably the only thing is that it is very important to actively jump in and do the steps. Keep whittling away at the things you don't know. Eventually you'll figure it out. If you have to call for help-do it. I feel good about the way I'm progressing, and I'm sure that I am going to be able to do much more soon.

-Harry

Naomi Thanks Thrive Learning Institute

Thrive Learning Institute,

My name is Naomi and I would rate my coaching experience a 10 out of 10. I sincerely appreciate the fact that my coaches show concern when I do not progress and I intend to "bug" them a lot in the near future. They are always courteous even though they have a right to be impatient with me and always answer my questions fully. I am pleased with what I have learned and the progress thus far. My biggest success has been finding Thrive. I tried to figure all this out on my own a few years ago, but didn't find the direction and help I needed. To future students: I would assure you that your associates are sincere in their efforts to help you get started in internet marketing.

Josh's Traffic is Skyrocketing with the help of Thrive Learning Insitute

Hey Thrive Learning Institute!

So yesterday I had told you I made 2 sales with Amazon. Well, I checked my account this morning and there were 43 ordered items. I think I got all of them from this ad that I had made on AdWords for an aStore of inspirational books that I created.I also checked my Analytics this morning and the unique visitors for Writing Tattoos had doubled from yesterday (100 to 200).
My focus now is going to be writing articles. So, just let me know what else you got for me and I'll start working on it.

Thanks for your help!
Peace.

Mr. Harris Finds Success with Thrive Learning Institute

Thrive Learning Institute,

My name is W. Harris and I have sold 6 items on eBay for a total of $227.84. The coaches have done a very good job with my questions and their instructions and guidance has been very helpful. So far my experience with Ebay has been exciting and a very good learning experience. I need to sell smarter and learn and concentrate on selling ever increasing value items as well as the small items. We need to run more auctions and find more items to sell.

I feel that as I learn the system, I will become a smarter Ebay seller. In starting a new business you always will have obstacles, and when you figure them out, you will have a new set of obstacles. I am sure that the situations we have had to overcome will be different than the ones each other person will have to overcome, but what ever those are, try to keep focused and keep your eyes on the ball.

There is a lot of information to absorb and process, but ask a lot of questions and keep moving forward. Don't let yourself down. I would say to future students that there is a lot of information to learn to make this business work, but make sure you go through the benchmarks and study the system and it will work for you.

At first you will have some exciting moments and some not so exciting, but just hang in there and keep your motivation going and it will work for you. Do not give up or get discouraged because I really do believe the folks at Thrive know what they are doing. We are still young in the business, but I can see the future and you will get it, just don't give up. Don't let anything slow you down. Just keep listing the items and follow the leaders.

Thrive Learning Institute Helps Sue Sell Her First Item On Ebay

Thrive Learning Institute,

I did it, I sold my very first item on Internet Aug. 5, 2009! It was an Apple iPod. It probably took me twice as long to post it as most people. When I worked for the Govt., you did not innovate, or originate, you just worked the program.
I shipped this item today.

Regards,
Sue

Thrive Learning Institute Cuts Through The Nonsense

Dear Thrive Learning Institute

The coaches are excellent, the coaches on Team 2B were always helpful, always encouraging, always positive. Finding a supplier is huge. The most wonderful thing was finding a niche. I paid for this sort of coaching and training from another company nearly two years ago and they had me spend a couple of months examining my hobbies and interest, writing pages and pages and pages of lists of things that I liked and then doing web research that was not all that effective.

I never found a niche that I could find any products for at all, and they never ever had me check to see how much competition I'd have. You cut through all that nonsense, my coaches convinced me that my hobbies and interests were irrelevant, showed me how to find a niche with enough interest and not too much competition. Brilliant! It was all worth it. If I know how to do all that I can build another web site and another. If it takes six of them to reach my income goal, at least I'll be able to reach it.

Jill Gets Going With Thrive Learning Institute

I'm satisfied that my progress is going as well as possible considering that I've had to learn a lot of this stuff from scratch. I realize that my coaches can't spoon-feed me this material; I have to learn it on my own. I've learned a tremendous amount already and I've also done a great deal of research. I spend a lot of time studying and doing assignments, and I intend to do more as I become more accustomed to the work. I've had to learn a lot of basic operations the hard way.

Jerry Gets HIs First Sale

Thrive Learning Institute

On Tuesday July 28th, I listed my first sale item on eBay. About 30 minutes after the listing posted, I received an “item has sold” notice. I was stunned. I knew items can go very quickly, but I did not think it would happen to me, especially on the very first sale item. It was a good feeling, but I knew that this is far from the normal. One day it might happen again.

If the listing is done so the buyers are intrigued and have the feeling that they can’t live without the item, it is a good listing and you should have lots of bids and a successful sale.

Jerry
