If you’ve been online for a while, you’ve probably seen how many courses, videos, and books there are about eBay and how they all promise to show you how to build wealth fast using the world’s largest auction site. And if you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of “stuff” collecting dust… er… I mean in “storage”. You may think that the obvious way to start is to sell everything on eBay.
It is true that you may consider that the site has tightened its rules to the point that if a seller receives a negative report, they could be banned from selling. There, then all your business would go overnight. Add to that the fact that you will eventually have to buy in bulk and compete in a cutthroat marketplace, and you may want to reconsider your options. It can be a lucrative business model, to be sure, however you have to ask yourself if you are willing to tolerate the possibility of being banned by a bad client or if the work is really worth it. Experts like Oliver Goehler and related marketing courses can help you decide if you want to “in” by giving you the information you need.
A better option may be an online business that does not involve auctions. It is true that there will still be some work, but it will not approach the level of the plan mentioned above. You will need to research your market, get a website, generate traffic, etc., but this is much less than being a seller on an auction site.
What can do this faster is a mentor. He or she will take you by the hand and show you what he or she needs to work on and help you set and achieve milestones and goals. You will find success much faster with a mentor than on your own.
