Can You Really Become An eBay Powerseller?

Not everyone who has ever tried selling on eBay has been wildly successful doing so. Those who have been successful we politely call "eBay powersellers." Just what does it take to become an eBay powerseller? It's a lot of work and determination, for one thing. But, also, it takes having the right plan or strategy for getting the most out of your efforts. If you've ever had dreams of becoming an eBay powerseller, you're best bet for accomplishing this is learning from someone who has been there and mastered it.

While the Internet is littered with self-proclaimed "gurus" of this and that, very few can measure up to the standards in this area that Jim Cockrum does. Jim has been selling successfully on eBay since 1997, which in itself is a testament to his knowledge. He has also written several e-books chronicling his experiences marketing using eBay auction selling. His first and most important e-book about this was The Silent Sales Machine Hiding On eBay. Since that first publication, Jim has updated his book five times to keep up with the changing conditions on eBay. No one knows more about the business of selling on eBay than Jim. You can be certain of that.

The Silent Sales Machine, as the title has been shorten to in this sixth edition, starts you out small and builds as it goes along. For instance, you don't even need a website to begin as long as you have a merchant account at eBay. You can begin small and build your business at your own pace, which is what Jim recommends. If you do have a website, Jim warns you to be wary of a boost in traffic after reading and implementing the strategies in his book.

As you are able to master and implement one strategy, you'll go on to the next as you begin to build what he calls "silent sales machines." These silent sales machines are really just another name for "income streams." The more income streams you have working for you on the Internet, the more money you will make. The concept is really just that simple. However, it does take a little bit of work. But you only have to do the work once. After you're done, you will continue to get paid week after week, month after month, and year after year for the work that you've already completed. What could be better than that?

You can learn how to generate thousands of dollars monthly on eBay, like Jim, while only running a small handful of auctions at a time. He shows you how to do this step by step. Another advantage of dealing with Jim is that all new revisions of his book are available free to any buyer of his book. That alone is worth the value, because you'll always be kept up-to-date with the latest income-producing information.

There's something for every Internet marketer in Jim's book. Even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool affiliate marketer, there is something to be gained from reading and implementing the strategies in Jim's book. Using eBay as a traffic source can exponentially increase traffic to your websites and affiliate sales. If you are a serious marketer, you're leaving money on the table if you don't find out about and implement Jim's suggestions.
