Foreword
I want to share a statement with you from theTV show 20/20 that stuck with me, and I will remember it forthe rest of my life. It is reported that over 40,000 people earnover
$100,000 a year selling on EBay.
FORTY THOUSAND! At the time I heard thisreport that statement almost put me in shock. I started my firstbusiness, a mail order business, out of my parents home when I was14 years old. Since the age of twenty I have devoted my time energyand effort in finding business models that people could operatefrom home and escape the 9 to 5 grind.
Over the years I have been involved with, amcurrently involved with, or totally evaluated hundreds of businessmodels including network marketing, real estate investing, FOREXinvesting, sports cards and memorabilia sales, day trading, shrimpfarming, raising ostriches, tax lien investing, HYIP, flippingdomains and websites, Kindle publishing, affiliate marketing, andthe list goes on and on.
At the time I heard the statement, It isreported that over 40,000 people earn over $100,000 a year sellingon EBay, I had been involved in the network marketing industry for25 years. The industry had actually made me a millionaire, but ithad been a long hard road. I distinctly remember thinking to myself- 40,000? How many network marketing companies have 4,000 or even400 people earning $100,000 a year?
In this report I am going to share with youmy EBay journey. A year or so after I saw the 20/20 report,I ended up selling the network marketing company that I owned andspent a year of my life to prove or disprove that the averageperson could or could not earn a full-time income selling onEBay.
As you have probably already guessed, I cameto the conclusion through my year long experiment that it was notonly possible, but that with the right guidance it was highlylikely that the average person could earn a full time incomeselling on EBay.
If you get anything from this report, I wantyou to understand these two important points.
#1: EBay brings to you what every businessneeds ..... CUSTOMERS
#2: The learning curve to learn EBay isshorter than any other business model I have ever experienced. Witha little bit of guidance and direction from an experienced EBayseller the average person can have their items listed on EBay andbe making money within 10 days or less.
Yes there are numerous strategies and ideasto maximize your time and profits with EBay that take a little timeto learn. However, the basic skills set required to actually listyour items on EBay, get them sold, and make money is veryshort.
I can say without question that selling onEBay is the quickest, fastest, easiest way I have found in the last30 years for people to start supplementing their income almostimmediately.
The purpose of this report is to prove to theskeptical person that it can be done, and more importantly - youcan do it.
My year long experiment ended up with meputting together a complete home study program to teach people themoney making ideas and concepts I have learned. We have had theopportunity to speak at events around the world and share ourideas. We have students everywhere that are using the methods weteach to make $100 - $1,000 a week selling on EBay.
Some of our students are now part of the40,000+ group that earns a six figure income selling on EBay.
If you have tried to sell on EBay in the pastand it was not a successful experience, let me ask you; Who tookyou by the hand and shared with you step-by-step, method-by-methodhow to build a successful EBay business? When I ask people that inmy live seminars the overwhelming answer is no one, I just kindof did it on my own.
I want to encourage you to always learn fromthose that have already done what you want to do. It doesnt matterif you are learning to sell on EBay, want to learn how to invest inapartment buildings, or flip websites. Always, always, learn fromexperts who have already accomplished that which you want toaccomplish. If you learn nothing from this report except takingthat advice, it will put you far above the crowd in whateverbusiness model you choose.
My wife and I have decided to focus a lot ofour time and effort into expanding the EBay Training part of ourcompany. We are taking all of our materials and putting them onlineand building a supportive community of people just like you whowant to make a difference in their family finances selling on EBay.We know what we are doing, and more importantly we know how toteach it in an easy to follow, step-by-step sequential manner. Wehave created Power Seller status in four different EBay accountsand between us we have sold over 1 million dollars worth of itemson EBay since we started.
It is exciting for us to see people use theirEBay business to get out of debt, pay for their children'seducation, save for family vacations, buy new cars with cash, andthe list goes on and on.
Let me warn you before you read any further.This publication is actually a transcript of a live seminar that Idid in Orlando, Florida called Proof You Can Earn a $5,000 MonthlyIncome with EBay and Online Auctions.
I was raised in Kentucky, and Dawn and I nowlive in the Atlanta, Georgia area, so I talk southern. The ladythat transcribed this training for me, wrote it, exactly as I saidit. So if incomplete sentences, run on sentences and southern slangbothers you, you will 100% miss the point of this manuscript.
As I said earlier, the point of thismanuscript is simply to prove to you that it can be done, and youcan do it. However, as a bonus for investing in this material Ihave decided to place the actual video footage of this presentationonline for you. If you send me an email I will send you the link, because at the time of this writing it isnot online yet.
I have one more point I need to make for youbefore we get into the transcript. Some people say EBay is dead andyou cant make the kind of money on EBay today that you could inthe past. I agree that EBay has gone through some ups and downsover the years. At times they have been very difficult to deal withand well beyond aggravating. However , the methods we teach arestill making us, and our students' great incomes and we are testingnew strategies all of the time.
I feel like at the present time EBay is on anupswing. There are many factors for this. Number one, is that withthe increase in popularity of TV shows like Pawn Stars, StorageWars, Cajun Pawn Stars, Storage Hunters, American Pickers,etc., the interest people have in online auctions is way up.
Every week people see others walking in thePawn shop and selling an item for $200 that they purchased at ayard sale or estate sell for $10. If you watch these shows, howmany times have you heard people say they are selling online (EBay)for X number of dollars.
Dawn and I just look at each other and saythen why arent you selling YOURS online?
In today's economic climate learning thebasic skills for selling on EBay just makes good sense, doesntit?
I am writing this foreword in late August of2012. I read yesterday that in July of 2012 that EBays sales wereup over 28% from July 2011. That is a good sign for us. I believethe timing is perfect for Dawn and I to start expanding our EBaytraining, and I believe the timing is perfect for you to cash in onEBay and develop the knowledge that will help you create cash ondemand for the rest of your life.
