treating your ebay business as the alternative ebay.
You've probably heard a lot about how many tons of money some people make on eBay. eBay is the next almost anything goes ecommerce site.
Bid, outbid, buy now, just watch the auction action, or find something to sell. So many ways to earn. But the usual and most reliable to way to get a steady income is to buy cheap and sell big. Or at least sell for a profit, but constantly.
The usual way to learn is to seek out the power earners. You'll find quite a number here. If some of them are raking in a grand (a thousand dollars) every month, others three times that, and others from ten grand to 25 grand, there must be some truth to the stories being circulated.
You'll be shocked to know some of these people never intended to rely, for their income, on eBay. But there it is. They must have done something right. Something you can do, too. They started selling a couple of items. Then they kept at it.
Until it became more profitable to stay selling than remain on their fulltime jobs. The moment they purchased the stock, what ever else goes down is done for profit.
There's no rent or overhead to worry about, no staff who might get sick and not do their work, no upkeep except your health, maybe your mood, your PC, and your Internet connection. Less cost, more profit this way.
You don't have to go all the way for this ecommerce earning opportunity. If you have a fulltime job, you can keep it. That means a dual source of income.
You can rack up orders on the weekdays and pack up the stuff for delivery to the post office on weekends. Time management now has a distinct reason: extra money. You get to surf a lot and meet people online in the process.
Working at home like this means you can be comfortable, strategize, rest, sleep, and strategize, all in your own time and comfort. Some eBay high sellers work in their pajamas.
This level of comfort is something sought after. So you have the option to do this part time, spend your free time and weekends on this, or go full time for it. No job interviews to worry about, no discrimination, no office politics.
Some things don't change. If you can get in touch with people, or know where to get stuff on the cheap, and then sell in online, through eBay, you've almost got it made.
Remember that you often receive discounts when your purchase in bulk. So if you get stuff, and a lot of it, that are in demand, and cheaply, and sell it online, you earn. No venture or set up capital needed. Or at least, not much.
If you doubt this, or are scared, just start selling whatever you have in the garage. Or try getting stuff your friends are throwing away and dispose of it, for a profit, on eBay.
Over time, small profits will propel you to devote more time to this ecommerce earning opportunity.
