John Reese internet marketing under the business microscope

John Reese

Started Marketing Online: 1990 (Before the Web)

Marketing Strengths: "Spying" (research), Testing & Tracking and being able to "connect the dots" of concepts and ideas.

Biggest Mistake: Tried to develop 14 sites at the same time.

Turning Point Before Reaching Success: Selling a domain name for $900. Buyer then resold it for $1,000,000 IN CASH. Made him realize the "easy way" to make money was letting other people show you where the opportunities are. The "hard way" is to try and do something completely new.

John Reese is an Internet Marketing pioneer that has been actively marketing online since 1990. John created one of the first autoresponder services on the Internet in 1994. Since that time he has created and launched over 110 projects online.

One of these projects was a free photo-hosting service for eBay users that John started in 1998. This service (due to a powerful Viral Marketing "twist") became one of the Top 500 sites in the world for web traffic in only 10 months after it was launched. This little service used to consistently produce in excess of $100K/month in affiliate commissions from a variety of affiliate programs. Not bad for a service that John created for less than $350.

During the past 7 years, John has been actively involved with eBay. What started out as just an entertaining way to buy things, quickly turned into a lucrative business. John steadily became an expert at using eBay and figured out many strategies for producing profit from their site on a consistent basis. He recently produced a DVD training product to teach others how to start and run a successful eBay business from home.
