First let me tell you a little about myself. I'm an eBay
Powerseller. I did about $100,000.00 in sales on eBay over the
last year. I love eBay, and I regularly preach the virtues of
eBay to my friends and family. I even gave out eBay gift
certificates for Christmas! I'm also a student of the business.
I like finding ways to increase my sales and grow my business.
Believe it or not, I went to Barnes & Noble bookstore and
dropped about $300.00 on eBay books. Now those were some hefty
bags of books I walked out with!
With my eBay experience and knowledge I decided to write an
ebook about "how to make a full time living by selling on eBay".
I researched my "eBay library" from the bookstore, and I
searched the internet for other resources. What I discovered was
a few things... First, the books from my collection of books
from the bookstore were generally more out-of-date, and less
practical from an entrepreneurial point-of-view in comparison
with many online resources. The books contained a lot of
valuable information, but often fell short where the rubber
meets the road in terms of true money-making ability. The second
thing I discovered was that the eBay opportunity is so huge, and
so many thousands of people have found success, that many have
already written excellent material that covered everything I was
planning on writing and more!
I'm not a lazy person; I could have written the book, but I
decided my time would be better spent on other endeavors since I
would essentially have been repeating the same information
already written by others. In fact, since that time, I have
written a book on a completely different topic. And with my
ambition to spread the good news of eBay I decided to create a
website to spotlight some particularly helpful resources.
The reason I've written this article is to warn you that there
is a lot of outdated information out there, and much of it that
was never good to begin with. Before purchasing an Ebay "how to"
book, please check out the author's credentials. The best
Ebay books are
typically written by real Ebay Powersellers--NOT by famous
authors or internet marketers.
The next thing I want to make you aware of is that there are
many, many ways to make a full time income on Ebay. Some of them
require more work than others. Some involve importing, others
involve dropshipping. Some involve keeping a physical inventory,
and others utilize virtual downloadable products. The ways of
making money on Ebay are as diverse as Ebay itself. There are
hundreds of categories, and a myriad of different types of
people who shop Ebay. All this goes to say: find your niche. If
you're new to the business, I do recommend buying a guidebook
from a successful Ebayer, but if that author's system is not
appealing to you, do not give up and decide it's not for you.
Simply find another niche or another system that IS appealing to
you.
I hope this article has inspired you to find your own niche and
join the millions who have already discovered a life of eBay
success!
