eBay Bans Downloadables

That’s right.

“As of 31st March 2008 anyone selling digital items will be in violation of eBay’s policies.

What does this mean? It means that all those sellers making an income selling eBooks have been slapped by eBay and this affects anyone selling items delivered digitally.

This includes:

* eBooks
* Audio/mp3
* Digital Videos
* Websites
* Domain Names
* Graphic Design Services
* Photo Services
* plus any other service delivered electronically.”

THE LESSON:

One of the big lessons here is not to rely on just one income stream or business model. I’ve made that mistake in the past and you might have too. When you dont have MULTIPLE income streams, you’re just too vulnerable — decisions by others can really harm you.

For example, not all that long ago it was easy to make the big bucks with Adsense. Then suddenly that all changed. A lot of people got hurt. Those with multiple revenue streams got hurt less.

So…

If you’re looking to expand into other profitable businesses but having a hard time coming up with a good idea, consider joining up with FIND HOT MARKETS to help you find product ideas, profitable markets and hot niches.
