Are tricks illigal?

Techniques:

Maybe you wonder what I mean by that. I also could call it "tricks", but it is not a trick but more knowing the details.
This "tricks" were actually the cause why I started to be interested in the online marketing. Being a nerd I use computers since the 80s and the Internet since its dawn. So I thought I knew the net and the techniques fairly well. I came across a video about internet marketing and the guy showed a trick I was not aware! And it impressed me!

Remember we started with eBay for the people who need cash fast.
Have you registered? It is not really important, but if you try to sell a product, you want to get as much income from it as possible. You can choose the duration meaning when the bidding will end.
The shorter the duration, the faster you get your stuff sold and the faster you have the money, but the less people know about it and you might not fetch as much as you could if you extend the duration.
You also can make more money, if you advertise the sales outside eBay!
Another point to consider it the fun factor.
That means toward the end of the auction, that is where the most bids take place. Now imagine your auction ends at 3 in the morning. You bet not to many people will be online by that time.
But lots of eBay fans go online after work, so ending at Friday 6 to 12 pm probably has a lot of bidders!

For me this is one of the beauties of IM or Affiliate marketing.
You can use brute force to reach your goal (pay money) or you use your brains and find ways that are free or at least cheaper.

If you use eBay from the Philippines you might have problems selling internationally, because the Filipinos have earned themselves a bad reputation!
This means before you can sell internationally and make a considerable amount of money, you need to build trust!
Trust in this case means getting recommendations and having a clean record from the start!

If you are one of my international readers: The Filipinos are not bad people! Not more than in any other country. But the lawenforcement has its weakness here. So the "successful scammers" are not locked away, but continue and become experts.

Have a successful weekend!
