Today is Tuesday (Happy Veterans Day to all who served)... many have wondered what the heck is Scott talking about with this silly slogan...

Wednesday 1:14

It's a great question!  To tell the truth, I wonder sometimes myself...

It is not a quote for the book of Genesis and it is not some sort of weird eBook pitch... "sighs of relief", all around.

Wednesday at 1:14 is the start of something new.  New for me, new for you and new for this space.

Many of my regular readers know I have been part of the meteroic rise to stardom of one very interesting fellow known to many as ColderICE. 

John Lawson is what I call him, but he can have a cool handle if he likes, it fits his personality and his message.  (Maybe I should have a moniker like that? Hmmm.... What would I be... WarmerFudge?)

John is a Platinum Powerseller on eBay and also has his own website at 3rd Power Outlet http://www.3rdPowerOutlet.com. He brought hip hop merchandise to eBay and has had great success with this very finely crafted niche market.  John is a pillar of the PESA community and he has brought a fresh new look to both eBay and eCommerce. 

 John Lawson is a straight shooter, a matter of fact kind of guy and he has little time for BS artists or scammers.  I wonder why I like him...

John gained a greater audience, or dare I say his very first national audience through my insistence that he guest post here on the Trading Assistant Journal.  You can review his guest post writings and other mentions on this site here.

John has since started his own eCommerce blog or videoblog and named it ColderICE.  

He seems to be more comfortable in front of the video camera than at a keyboard and I am less excited about doing video blogs than writing. 

To each his own. 

We have remained steady friends since the day we met thanks to Scot Wingo and his Channel Advisor Catalyst conference. Some may be surprised at John and I being friends if they had followed our political battle on Twitter over the last several months.  Yet, we never have let the politics cloud our respect for one another, even in the heat of battle.

John and I are very different people, yet we have a great deal in common.  We each come from very different backgrounds and may have never met if it were not for a common interest.  That interest is making money on the Internet. 

Our friendship is based upon more than this one thing however. 

John Lawson and I are each very interested in, and good at, looking at the big picture when it come to the overall business of selling online. More importantly, we each, in our own way, have found ways to share what we think is important information with the world through blogs and videos.  We get a lot of fulfillment from helping people to understand what we wish we had understood when we each started. 

So, back to this Wednesday 1:14 question...

On Wednesday - This Wednesday November 11,2008 @ precisely 1:14 Eastern Standard Time a new Internet talk show and podcast will be born. 

• No Nonsense

• No Sugarcoating

• No self promotion

The idea is simple, No BS eCommerce, eBay and eBusiness.  We won't be selling and DVD sets and we won't be pulling any punches when it comes to sharing our opinions about anything to do with the industry.  We know that as co-hosts we will not always agree on every subject but this is also what we think will make us unique. 

The show is scheduled to air on Talkshoe every Wednesday @ 1:14 in the afternoon.  Why 1:14?  I will let John tell you that... but it has it's own significance.

(Talkshoe link with appear on the Agents of Revenue site soon)

I am building a new website for the show, and it is not quite finished.  But the home page can be found at either http://agentsofrevenue.com or http://agents-of-revenue.com

The website will have a email form available for all of you to send us your questions, topic suggestions, or other interesting and useful information. The show will only be on for 1/2 hour per week so we will not get to everyone's questions, but be assured... if its a good one, we will discuss it live.

Why "Agents of Revenue" as a name? 

We just kinda landed there while discussing the concept of the show.  We want to impart information which will help people produce what really counts, and that's real honest cold hard cash - or positive revenue. 

We also want to enforce a no BS atmosphere and be matter of fact about what it takes to become revenue positive in eBusiness.  Part of the show may be dedicated to John and I duking it out in a point counter point style on some subjects but overall we just want to bring a fresh, no nonsense perspective to the space.

The fedora hats are a Blues Brothers or Elliott Ness reference, they signify our goal of being straight shooters and honest advisors. 

OK the Blues Brothers were neither, but they were very cool...  they wanted to help the Sister, and they were ultimately very good at what they did for a living.   

Elliot Ness just got the bad guys and he was Untouchable...

OK - along these lines comes a comment from one of the readers here on the Trading assistant Journal...
