Ebay made us rich !

eBay isn’t just an auction and a marketplace: often it can feel quite a lot like a game. Like any game, you can get ahead if you think strategically, using your head to outwit the other buyers and get the best price. Here are a few things you can try.

Shop in the Summer.

This is simple, but effective. Summer is the quiet season on eBay – almost everything sells for less. While everyone else is out enjoying the sun, invest a little time to find some real bargains.

Beat Them by a Few Cents.

Outbid people by a few cents instead of a few dollars – if they don’t check back before the auction ends, then you will be the winner. To avoid people using this tactic on you, though, always bi (continue reading…)

It is not uncommon to hear fabulous success stories from internet-based companies. We all know about the
Amazon.coms, Googles, Ebays, Yahoo!s, and all of these other popular websites that sell goods or services. The dotcom boom took place in the early 1990s and many internet companies went bust due to a poor reception from the public.

Today’s consumers are a great deal savvier than they were in the last decade, and internet-based businesses
are back in full force. One mistake common to the dotcoms that bombed shortly after forming was lack of leadership and poor business plans. Everyone saw the potential in this new and intriguing forum, but no one quite knew what to do with it. Since no one had ever (continue reading…)

My Attempts at Making Money Online Part Two

I’m not expecting you to find my part 1 useful, but it may have have made you laugh.  Ok that’s wishful thinking!

My second instalment is a success story.

My girlfriend got me into trying to make money buying and selling dvds on PlayTrade. She used to go to the market and buy dvds that other people considered rubbish and sell them on at a profit because other people considered them more valuable.

“One man’s trash is the next man’s treasure.”

So we went into town and I bought a handful of dvds from second hand shops (I want to say now, it’s not that I was passing them off as new, it was that (continue reading…)

So many of us have aspired to work from home. The long hours in a cubicle, dealing with office politics and kissing up to the boss have caused many of us to long for something better. To spend time with our kids and not come home tired and grouchy. This is compounded by the fear that we may lose our job and be displaced by a shaky economy.

Can I Really Stay Home and Make Really Good Money?

The quick answer is Yes! But…. Let me tell you about the “Yes” first and the “But” later. Even in a shrinking economy, the internet BOOM continues.

If you would like to be listed among the list of the most successful businesspeople on eBay, then you will need to understand the concept of becoming a top rated seller.

For anyone who wants to earn more money than they’d ever get with a day job, then the only real answer (besides winning the lottery) is to start their own business. Of course, starting a business can be very costly, something that puts starting a traditional business out of the reach of many people.

However, there is an alternative, and that’s starting a business from home. There are several different alternatives a person can choose from, from coming up with a completely new idea and concept and creating their own products, to joining an existing MLM type business, to starting an online business.

Lately, a huge number of people have been lured by the idea of making their millions on the Internet, but the s (continue reading…)

Dropshipping is a topic that I first addressed in my column way back in April, 2003, which is decades ago in Internet years. But with the continuing growth of eBay and it’s positioning of itself as a viable way for anyone looking to launch an ebusiness, the topic of dropshipping is now hotter than ever. It is also now more misunderstood than ever.

Dropshipping has been around since Sears first started selling goods from its mail order catalogs over a hundred years ago. However, the idea of dropshipping still confuses many people who don’t understand exactly how the process works.

By definition, dropshipping is a method of selling and distributing goods wherein the distributor or supplier of the product (th (continue reading…)
