Many people have been pronouncing doom and gloom for the
worldwide economy in recent months. With unemployment
numbers as low as they have been in years, people wonder if
eBay and other online venues are struggling as well. Perhaps
you wonder if you can create an online business from your
home. To put it simply, the answer is yes. Even in tough times there are always great opportunities to make money. Historians have said that more wealth was created during the great depression than any other time in history. It may have been a bit harder, but the opportunity is always there. Some might wonder if eBay is still a good platform to sell on. eBay has come a long way in the past 10 years and the main advantage has always been that there are millions of customers still coming to eBay - with over 2 million people visiting every day! People shop on eBay because they are looking for a good deal. In times like these, it seems more people are looking for a good deal then ever before. Having such a large visitor count gives people like you and me the opportunity for our products to be seen extremely quickly and easily. Another advantage to selling on eBay in tough economic times is the flexibility of the venue. If you had a brick and mortar retail store, you'd have to pay rent and many other overhead costs to stay in business. With eBay, your overhead is low and the bulk of your fees only occur after you sell an item. In addition, you can change your product line at any time, without having to change your marketing. You can sell golf clubs the one day and running shoes the next without hassle. You can move faster and take advantage of opportunities before others even know about them because you're more flexible. Also when selling on eBay, you can research what products are selling well, and know what customers want before you begin to sell to them. This gives anyone the opportunity to estimate their profits before buying inventory! Jesse Holmes is the designer of the free eBay 101 Start Up Kit. In this easy to follow video kit he will show you exactly how to sell on eBay quickly and easily! |
