If you’re already an eBay affiliate partner then no problem. If not, it’s just that getting an account approved is more difficult nowadays. Although Joel have a special video on “How to Get an EPN Account”, it’s a fact that eBay prefers quality website to carry their ads. Quality here means aged domain, PR higher than 0, compelling content in terms of quality and volume i.e. no simple review site or blog.

To become efficient, you most probably need to further invest in scripts and services like eBay store plugin for WordPress, auto content feeder subscription, eBay niche product research, etc. However, Joel also provide the free alternative routes (read: time investment) to the tools mentioned.

So the point is, you’ll benefit the most from the step by step nature of the course if you go the EPN way.

For newbies, it could be a bit overwhelming especially if you expect a quick ROI. For those who are more informed would be able to relate and apply the learnings with your own twist. Not using EPN, for example.
