How To Profit From Slickdeals.net

Slickdeals.net is a site dedicated to providing some of the best deals on products and services on and off the net. It is self proclaimed as "The most frequently updated and complete deal site on the web!" Slickdeals provides coupons, discount, freebies and more on products ranging from airline tickets to video games. They even have deals on services such as inexpensive car rentals and floral delivery, they truly have it all. I have used this site frequently, usually spending about fifteen to twenty minutes browsing the forum looking at some of the newly listed deals. I used to do a lot of buying through this site a few years back so today I will be telling you how to turn the deals found on slickdeals.net into cold hard cash!!
The entire slickdeals site is great but today I will be concentrating on one particular section. This section is in the Forum and is tittled "Hot Deals" as indicated above. Here's the home page of http://www.slickdeals.net/, click on the "Forums" link to enter the "Hot Deals" section. In here you will find posts from users all across the U.S. posting deals, coupons, rebates, discounts, etc. on all types of products and services.

Turn These Bargains Into Cash!!!
Here is just one example of the many deals that I have converted into cash using the "Hot Deals" section on Slickdeals.net. In the "Hot Deals" section I found a deal on PUR Water Filter Systems, the posting said "Big Lots is having a sale on Filter Systems, only $9.99." So I looked into it and did some research on eBay. When researching on eBay use the "completed items" search function to locate the exact product and price it's going for. Here I noticed the Systems were selling on eBay for $20 each, that would be a $10 profit on each filter for an easy flip. I then noticed further down in the posting on slickdeals.net that the system came with two extra filters, the filters on eBay were selling on average of $10 each! So....let's add it up. $20 for each system sold on eBay, plus $10x2 for the filters...that comes out to a $30 profit on each system sold!!!
I immediately went to a couple Big Lots and bought out all the their Systems...150 in all! I later went and listed them on eBay and made over $3,000 with this deal.
Remember, research on eBay first! Use the "completed items" search function...I cannot stress this enough. This function will show you the current market value and will give you an idea of how much you will be making. Good Luck!

Swipe Your Way To Copywriting Success

Anyone who has been involved in marketing, online or off, for any length of time knows that creating a swipe file is a huge help when it comes to designing your own marketing campaigns. For those who don't know, a swipe file is a file or collection of tabloid, magazine ads, direct mail pieces, headlines, techniques, etc. Essentially, whenever you see an example of great marketing you add it to your marketing collection. What is great marketing?...that's the tricky part. Fortunately, there's about a billion books on the subject. Remember, a swipe file is where you go for inspiration when you create your own campaigns... not to copy them, just to learn from them and create your own messages.

Before the Internet, a swipe file would contain a bunch of direct mail marketing pieces, newspaper ads, postcards, etc. I have boxes and boxes of newspaper, direct mail pieces and magazine ads that added tremendously to my successful advertising campaigns. Today you can still have a file folder full of those kinds of things, but you should also consider starting a digital collection where you can put great examples of email marketing, ezine ads, headlines, digital sales letters, etc.

Check out these hard to find ads from the "all time greats" and add them to your swipe file.
