Auction Sales Machine Review Ben Doyle

Created by Ben Doyle, Auction Sales Machine has been created as a guide to leveraging repeat custom to increase the revenue of your eBay business.

What is the product?

Auction Sales Machine is a PDF document that over 36 pages shows users the methods that Ben Doyle claims that he used to double the profits of his eBay business. Essentially this is handled through using your purchasers emails to create a mailing list where you can send them information about your latest offers etc. What isn’t made clear in the promotional material is whether or not you offer users a way of opting in or simply use the email address linked to the PayPal account. Whilst Ben Doyle claims that the methods Auction Sales Machine uses are within the rules of eBay and PayPal, if it is the latter it seems rather questionable. That aside, at the core of Auction Sales Machine is the idea that people who have bought off you once will be interested in the other items and therefore you have customers waiting to buy your products rather than you having to find them.

McDonalds Franchise Review

Arguably one of the most well-known franchisers in the world, McDonalds is also a globally recognised brand.

About The Company

When people talk about franchises it is not unlikely that they are thinking of McDonalds. McDonalds have pioneered franchising in the UK. Nowadays McDonalds aren’t the biggest fast food franchiser, that title now belongs to sandwich company Subway, yet despite this the brand name is more valuable in the UK.
