A brilliant idea I ran across the other day meant I could get a large cash sum in about 3 days.

All it meant is that I bought an item on eBay which had resale rights and struck up an agreement with a powerseller.

Before I explain it I want you to imagine this..

A desirable item that's for sale at £10 is suddenly offered to you for £5. The person offering it to you is someone you've bought similar items from before, so you trust them.

But the half price offer is only going to be available for 48 hours. The person offering you this item has struck an agreement with the seller. They've agreed to offer their item half price but just for 2 days.

If it's something you really desired do you think you'd miss out and pay the full price later on. No, of course not. 3 out of 10 people who are made this offer go ahead and buy. Everytime!

Now imagine if 100 people are offered this or 200 or maybe even 500. Multiply a third by £5 halve it and get this in your bank account in 3 days.

What if the product was normally £20 and offered for £10?

How it works is simple. You could either write your own ebook that is desirable or buy an ebook with resale rights that's already a best seller. Don't waste your time with 99p items you want something at least £10. Check someone else is not offering it on eBay for less.

You then send an email message to a powerseller on eBay or someone who's an eBay shop owner. You say that if they will offer your item to their past buyers at half price that you'll go fifty fifty with the profits. Make sure they're selling similar ebooks to their customers. That way they are already interested in what you have to offer.

You simply set up a free web site on something like Tripod.com. Just follow their instructions. You can put a Paypal link on as well quite easily.

If someone agrees to offer your item to their list you simply send them a link to your temporary website. They then send an email with the temporary half-price offer and website link to all their past customers. The email tells them when the offer expires to create some urgency to buy.

At the end of the 48 hour offer period you simply close down the temporary web site. Check how much money has been taken into your Paypal account. You'll be amazed. Copy the screen into an email and send it to the powerseller as proof of earnings. Pay 50% of the earners into his Paypal account. You keep the other half yourself.

Powersellers or eBay shop owners who sell ebooks have a vast number of past buyers. Imagine they offered your item normally sold for £10 at £5 to a list of 500 people. Results have shown that about a third of people offered the item actually buy. A third of 500 is approx. 166. Multiply 166 by £5 = £830. Divide by 2 which is yours and the powersellers share and you get £415. Not bad for 3 days work eh?

3 days is required because the first day is what you'll need to allow you to build the temp web site and your powerseller partner to email all his list.
