Will eBay Work for Me? Will This Book Work for Me?
The answer is always the
same: No, It Will Not Work for You, Not In a Million Years!
It’s
always good to have someone to help you run your new business, hence
the reason I try to answer as many questions as possible which are
asked by my readers.
But
there are some questions that only you can answer, and they usually
concern the most important aspects of your business. Questions
like: how much money can I make on eBay?, how many hours will I have
to work?, does this book about selling on eBay really work?, and
more besides.
Taking
the last question first ‘Does this book about selling on eBay really
work?’, I’m asked that question every day, and the answer is a very
emphatic ‘No, the book definitely does not work!’
A book
can never work, a book can give advice and tips, but it’s you who
does the work, it’s you who takes action based on ideas contained in
the book.
You
see I really do think virtually every popular book / forum posting /
article about selling on eBay is worth its weight in gold, even if
it provides just one tip you didn’t know about earlier and if that
one tip makes you more money than whatever you paid to obtain that
tip. But it wasn’t the book that worked was it, it was you?
And
that is what distinguishes successful from unsuccessful eBay
sellers, the fact that the former are prepared to find free or
otherwise invest in new learning tools which they are also prepared
to actually use. The latter, the losers and also rans, don’t
and won’t seek out new ideas – the vast majority will never apply
those new techniques.
The
same goes for software and other tools to help you operate and grow
an eBay business, tools like Turbo Lister, for example, and
research tools that help you identify and make money from other eBay
sellers’ listing mistakes, or tools that just help you list faster
and many more money sooner. Some, like Turbo Lister
are free but there are paid for equivalents which can be worth their
weight in gold, but only if you actually use them to increase your
profits on eBay.
You
have to be pro-active on eBay, you must apply your knowledge, only
then can you enjoy the immense rewards awaiting you.
As to
those other questions mentioned earlier which only you can answer:
*
How much money can I make on eBay?
*
How many hours will I have to work?
These
are also questions only you can answer, based on advice from people
already having experience on eBay, but the answer is always based on
how carefully you choose and locate products, how carefully you list
those items on eBay, how carefully you plan for your future on eBay.
