Are Matt and Amanda Clarkson the Real Deal?

“Matt and Amanda Clarkson run a company called Bidding Buzz and are totally dedicated to helping everyday people find a way to make money from home with eBay.”

Well that is at least what their supporters say.

But behind the smooth cliches lurks a very slick marketing machine.  These guys really know how to strut their stuff.  So the question is – does the reality match the hype?  is this the real deal?

I’ve heard some people say that they’re too slick for comfort.  But the real issue is ‘do their strategies work?’

Let’s take a quick look.

As the story goes, the Clarkson’s made their money from developing a kick butt marketing system to sell heaps of products on E Bay.  Once their system was perfected they spotted another way to make a buck – sell their know-how to other budding entrepreneurs.  So they developed their home study course – eBay Magic.

Cynics of course will say that if their system was so good, why train up their competitors?  Um.  Well I guess the answer is that the market is big enough, and besides most people never do much with the educational courses they buy.  Typical implementation rates with this style of program could be as low as 5%.

Bottom line: the reasons why the Clarkson teach others their apparently winning strategies is – you guessed it – there’s money in it!

About the EBay Magic Course

The Ebay Magic course ain’t cheap – it sells for $3,997.  Here’s what it includes:

Course Manuals. Included are 2 meaty manuals (600 pages in total) – jammed full of profit producing strategies and tips.  According to the Clarksons, the ideas contained within the manual were the same strategies they used to catapult them to the Ebay power seller status in just 5 months.  Wowee!

Audio CD’s. Includes 7 audio CD’s containing 12 motivating and illuminating sessions.

Also included are bonuses such as a ‘Getting To Know The eBay Website’ Camtasia Video, and lifetime guidance and support via email and phone.  There are also weekly emails and videos to keep customers focused and motivated, and an array of DVD recordings of live weekend seminars etc, together with various audio interviews and so on.

Of particular interest are the 4 coaching sessions included in the package.  These sessions are held with an authorised Ebay Magic coach.

Probably the most impressive inclusion is the audit style stage whereby you will be provided with a complete overview of your fledgling business.  Once that has been done, Matt and Amanda will spend phone time with you – helping you pinpoint exactly where the best profit opportunities lie.

Finally, clients receive a couple of tickets to their next 3 day eBay Magic Live Workshop on the Gold Coast.

Should You Invest in the Matt and Amanda Clarkson Program?

If you are commited to ACT on what you learn, of course you should buy it.  There is money to be made on Ebay if you know what you’re doing, AND if you aggressively implement what you learn.  Most people are bone lazy and undisciplined, which is why most people who buy these make money programs fail to do much with what they bought.

That said, Matt and Amanda Clarkson are not everyday folk.  They are hard nosed entrepreneurs with great marketing flair.  They is not you, and don’t be seduced by their message that you are!

After months of planning and behind the scenes activity, network marketing company Numis Network has now officially gone into pre-launch in Australia.

Numis Network has  an interesting product line focused on numismatic coins, which is unusual for the network marketing industry.  Numis is US based and after launching in Canada and the UK decided that Australia was the next cab off the rank

Number 1 income earner in Numis, Ray Higdon, has been working overtime in recent months to ensure that his business takes advantage of the opportunity that Australia offers (better than the UK in my opinion).  Already several Aussie big hitters have jumped onboard and no doubt looking to replicate Ray’s success down under.

Check out my Numis Network Review for more info on this interesting and successful home business opportunity.

Judging by the number of responses to my last post on Lyoness Australia, this business is a hot little number at the moment.  .

Will it last? Who knows, but certainly the concept has captured the imnagination of a lot of people. Although I have said before that Lyoness sort of reminds me of (online auction portal) Dubli which swept through this part of the world a couple of years ago (where are they now? Who knows who cares, right?)

A couple of weeks ago I had an interesting conversation with  a guy who was the CEO of Lynoness USA.  The operative word there is ‘was’ – he no longer holds that position.  He said he had a falling out with the founder.  Go figure.

One point he did make (and is worth repeating), is that although somewhat succesful in Europe, so far it has failed to really take off in the US.  Maybe it will be a slow build over there.  He also said that hyper growth companies like Visalus are blitzing companies like Lyoness.

Time will tell if Lyoness establises itself as a long term proposition in Australia.  Hopefully it will be successful as the concept seems sound.

(I am NOT a Lyoness rep!)
