So you’ve decided to take a chance and try to make some extra cash on eBay, or even more, a full time income. Not a bad choice, fact of the matter is hundreds of thousands of people ranging from individuals to small, medium and even large businesses have decided to take part or all of their business to eBay to market their product in a high traffic community of buyers and sellers. You may have dreams of making a successful living working online for various reasons, whether It’s to spend more time with family, concur your own schedule and get away from “working for the boss”, whatever your reason, if you’ve thought about it, it’s legitimate and achievable and I’m going to give you a head start so that YOU can start reaping the benefits of the flourishing online community of eBay almost instantly.
I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of potentially earning a full time income online which has lead me to testing different methods to try to achieve that goal. I’ve owned a steady e-commerce website only to be stunned at how much it can cost to run. Sure there are minimal costs associated with getting a functional website up and running, but once it’s done, how do you effectively drive traffic? I soon found out that the two markets I had indulged in actually had the most competition online, aside from adult websites. Needless to say, online marketing through various Internet channels was proving to be a huge investment with mediocre return.
I’ve had a personal eBay account since 2004. I would use it predominantly to purchase products here and there when I wanted to catch a good deal. In 2006 I started selling products around the house to make a little bit of extra money on items that I didn’t use anymore and I started to familiarize myself with the “eBay system”. Shortly after I realized the vast amount of potential this community had, I started to source products and take it to the next level…
Product Sourcing
Where do I find a reliable wholesaler with quality product to purchase from? This is typically the number one question for the starter eBay entrepreneur. I will give you some information on some good places to start searching for legitimate wholesale suppliers a little bit later on, but for now let’s concentrate on the fundamentals.
I like to abide by a few rules when I’m product sourcing, they are the following:
1. Legitimate wholesale suppliers aren’t easy to find. It takes a lot of leg work and they’re typically NOT advertised in search engines (although there are a few very good drop shippers that are).
2. DON’T JUMP IN TOO FAST. Although some offers may sound intriguing and get you excited, make sure you’ve done adequate research to make sure the company you’re dealing with is legitimate and has a proven track record.
3. Real wholesale suppliers, or manufacturers are very busy and don’t have an abundance of time to be dealing with small orders (typically anything under $20,000). You really do have to create and maintain a rapport with a prospective wholesaler for them to do business with you. It’s important to stress that you are interested in selling their product and maintain contact with them as often as possible. MSN Messenger, as well as email are both a great way to keep in contact if you both have access to it, as you probably wouldn’t want to be making a long distance phone call to speak with them every day, as most of the time the supplier is outside of your local calling area.
Also keep in mind that many people contact them on a daily basis with the same initiative, to purchase wholesale product, but not all follow through. Once you’ve built some rapport and have a proven track record of the company by doing some research, place some sample orders to show them your not just “all talk”.
Researching a Prospective Wholesaler
This can be a difficult task as well, especially if the supplier is based internationally. If the supplier is based within North America, a good place to start would be the BBB (Better Business Beuro). If the company isn’t registered with the BBB, don’t be too alarmed, but heighten your awareness. Do Internet searches to see if the company name comes up with any fraudulent activity. You can complete this by doing a simple Google search (ex. ABC Company LTD scam). This will yield results for anyone who has reported their negative experience with the company in a forum, blog or scammer list. You would be surprised how effective this method can be.
Drop Shipping
Q: What is drop shipping?
A: Drop shipping is a method of shipping directly from your wholesaler warehouse. The client makes a purchase from you on eBay, you place the order with your supplier, pay your cost on that product, the supplier then ships the product to your clients door and you bank the profit.
As mentioned, drop shippers can be a very effective way to manage up front costs associated with carrying your own physical inventory and also create a professional look to your business. Most legitimate wholesale suppliers, or manufacturers have been in business for quite a while (the good ones) and know what they’re doing when it comes to managing a warehouse and shipping product. Your product will arrive to the end client in a professionally packaged shipping container with a packing slip with your business logo and information on it (very important that you arrange this with the drop shipper. The last thing you want is their company logo and contact information on the package being delivered to your client).
With all that being said, if you decide to drop ship directly from your supplier, your cost on the item is typically a little bit higher, due to the fact you’re not purchasing the product in bulk and the supplier really won’t know how much you will actually be selling until you build rapport and a history with them. This is something you will have to work out with your supplier once the time comes.
In conclusion drop shipping can be a very valuable tool, especially starting out, but please remember it’s hard to find legitimate suppliers on search engines and if you do, you may be paying too much and it will be extremely hard to compete with other companies in your niche market that purchase from legitimate wholesalers.
Quality Places To Start Searching For a Real Whole Sale Supplier
There’s a few places on line that offer third party verification services to help you rest easy that you’re dealing with legitimate suppliers.
Here’s a few that I use quite frequently:
http://www.worldwidebrands.com
These sources for obtaining contact information on wholesaler suppliers and manufacturers are quite good. The reason I’ve listed them from 1-6 is in relation to my positive experiences with the websites.
Here’s some additional information on these databases:
WorldWideBrands.com - Very robust database of high quality wholesale leads. This source was the way I found one of my major suppliers whom I work with to this day. World Wide Brands acts as a bridge to connect you with top quality wholesale suppliers. You may have to pay an upfront membership fee (one time), but it’s definitely worth it in the long run, as they’re information is updated very regularly and suppliers must meet stringent guidelines to become accepted in to the program. They also have very valuable free information located on their website.
Doba.com - Doba is a direct drop shipping company. They purchase goods from major suppliers and ship them direct from their warehouse to your end clients for a small monthly membership fee.I’ve also had the chance to utilize their services and there were many positive aspects. Product was reasonably priced and shipping/handling times were fast. The product always arrived professionally packaged in a prompt manor.
SaleHoo.com - SaleHoo is much like World Wide Brands in the sense that the connect you with wholesale suppliers who have opt in to work with the little guy, you! They also charge a one time fee and have proven to be a very reliable source for reliable wholesale suppliers.
GlobalSources.com – This free website is packed with thousands of quality suppliers. GlobalSources.com is one of the more expensive advertising websites for suppliers to enroll in, which may state something in itself when it comes to the legitimacy of the supplier.
Made-In-China.com - Another free website. Made-In-China has a similar verification method as GlobalSources, but a little bit easier to get by without being a fully legitimate manufacturer, or wholesaler. Some middle men do get in to this website and you will find out quite quickly when you ask for a quotation of their product line up.
Alibaba.com - Also a free website. Alibaba is also a great way to meet a TON of suppliers very quickly, but the amount of crooks on this website can be over whelming. The supplier verification procedures are much less stringent than those of both 1 and 2. Alibaba is one of the largest sourcing websites to date and with that many suppliers you just have to anticipate some cheaters.
Conclusion
eBay can be a very profitable marketplace if you take the appropriate measures prior to jumping in to the first “wholesale” supplier you find.
Drop shipping is a very good method to start your online business, as you will not have to stock any of your own physical inventory. I do have drop shipping company links on this website that I have worked with in the past and are highly rated companies, please check out the links.
Remember, legitimate wholesale suppliers can be hard to find and typically aren’t listed on search engines, with the exception of a small portion.
With the Internet such a high traffic global network, it’s no surprise that when it comes to driving traffic to your website, it can be very hard and at times seem almost impossible. I know this from experience. Registering a new domain and creating a functional website really aren’t that difficult, but when it’s all said and done, how do you effectively drive traffic to your new hot spot? Many people invest large amounts of money in to PPC (Pay per Click) advertising through various search engines. Others pay affiliates to promote the product for them and take a hit on profit margins when a sale is completed. Well, what if I told you there’s an effective way to drive a reasonable amount of traffic to your website for free? That’s right, absolutely free. I’ve seen people charge $10, $20, even $50 for the information I’m about to share with you.
The web has evolved immensely since it’s start. New socialization applications have flooded the Internet to keep friends and family members in close contact at all times, share photo’s and even view their current “mood”. These highly established social websites can actually be a great way for you to get your foot in the door when it comes to getting free hits to your website.
As I mentioned, I have seen several Internet marketers providing the same information I’m providing you here for outrageous fee’s by using crazy marketing tactics to convince you that you will never have to pay for clicks again. Well with the method I’m about to share with you, it will drive a good number of free hits to your website and it doesn’t matter what category you fall in. The beautiful thing to is that, like a good wine, this method becomes better over time, let me tell you why.
Social websites such as Facebook, MySpace, Hi5 have a very large user base with a vast amount of information being submitted to their severs every day. Search engines love this stuff and update all of the time with new content from highly established websites such as these. Public posts, links and other data are submitted to search engines everyday. You can take advantage of free traffic by creating accounts with these websites and submitting links of your own website.
I recently came across a great website, Social Poster which has compiled literally every popular and semi popular social website that there is to date. They’re all rated via web presence and also have links for registering, saving your website data and automatically inserting it in to these websites links category. When search engines sweep these websites like they do several times per day, they will also grab your websites links. This means that when someone goes on to a search engine and types in something like “make money selling products online”, if you’ve used these keywords to describe your website link, search engines will pick this up and provide them in the query. That being said you must be careful when choosing keywords, as a keyword like “make money online” yields 26,300,000 results. It’s very unlikely that and reasonable number of people will view your post with this amount of search engines submissions. Instead use a keyword tool, such as the one here, Keyword Tool and play around with less popular keywords to better manipulate your search engine placement. Once you’ve submitted these keywords and people start viewing your website, they can actually vouch for the link on the social website, which can also increase your website placement. This is why your submission can actually increase in search engine page ranking over time.
This method can be very time consuming, but if it’s free hits your looking for can be very beneficial to effectively drive a reasonable amount of traffic to your website in a relatively short amount of time.
Although PayPal does offer several preventative measures to help protect you from fraudulent transactions, the risks of using PayPal as your merchant are still apparent. PayPal is currently offered to 190 Countries and 18 currencies. Due to the fact that the only Countries currently eligible for a confirmed (seller/buyer protected by the PayPal policy) PayPal shipping address are Canada, USA and the UK, this in itself leaves the doors wide open to scam artists.
There are ways for International sellers to “verify” their account, meaning they’ve verified their shipping address and possibly some other details making the transaction a little more safe on your end, but without a confirmed PayPal shipping address, you as a seller are not covered under the current seller protection policy in the event of an upset. If you’re an eBay seller and use PayPal as your method of accepting payment, eBay has stated that they will offer seller protection when shipping to International addresses, even if they’re “Unconfirmed”, or International. The goal here is to increase seller confidence, sales and offer more purchasing power for eBayers abroad.
From my years of experience using PayPal as my primary merchant account on both my eBay PowerSeller account and my e-commerce websites, the following are some preventive measures to help you stay proactive when using PayPal.
1). Be sure to state your terms of sale in all of your listings/websites. If you buyer sends a payment from a unconfirmed PayPal account and they are located within the eligible zones (Canada, USA, UK) kindly request that they have the account Confirmed with PayPal, or you will not be able to ship the item. This will usually grab their attention. Confirming a PayPal address within the eligible zones is quite easy and only takes around 15 minutes, although you do need a credit card, or the process is longer. If the buyer has a high feedback score, or PayPal score you may be OK, it all depends on the value of the product rendered.
2). If the payment was completed by an International buyer take the extra step to be proactive to protect your self from a fraudulent transaction. View where the payment was sent from. There are certain areas to be extra cautious when receiving payments (Nigeria to my experience especially). Don’t take anything for granted when shipping Internationally. Send the buyer a message stating that you require additional information from them, as they did not meet your minimum tenure for the transaction. Request that they confirm with you the address that the item should be shipped to (should coincide with PayPal/eBay address, if it doesn’t match cancel the transaction), home telephone number (if unavailable cellular), whether the shipping address is business or residential and references to any other transactions the buyer may have recently completed using PayPal. You can then call PayPal and confirm these details. A good sign of a fraudulent buyer is when they do not respond to your message to acquire additional information, or if they use a threatening tactic to get you to ship the item. If either of these happen refund the payment immediately. I typically give 72 hours for the buyer to respond to the message. If the buyer responds in a threatening matter, report the message to eBay/PayPal and they should be able to take the appropriate measures to further investigate the individual. If they leave you negative feedback on eBay due to the issue, report it to eBay as well. They’re typically very good and will have the feedback removed.
3). NEVER SHIP TO AN ALTERNATIVE ADDRESS OTHER THAN ON THE PAYPAL PAYMENT. This is very important. Many scam artists will request that you ship the item to another address and they will pay you extra to use an express service, such as DHL, or FedEx to another Country, or another city and a little bit more for the “inconvenience”. This is the #1 PayPal scam that will get you every time. Once you send the item to the alternative address and they receive it they will initiate a PayPal dispute stating that they never received the item. At that point you will have no proof that you shipped the item to the address stated on their PayPal account and the funds will be returned to the buyer.
4). Another major indication of a scam is the buyer will change their shipping information within PayPal/eBay shortly after the transaction, or after the tracking information has been received. I personally require a 3 business day order processing time frame to be safe, as most PayPal notifications regarding possible unauthorized transaction will be sent in this time frame and will protect you prior to shipping the item. If you’ve already shipped the item PayPal will require additional information on the shipment to help resolve the situation, but the time frame for a resolution is quite tedious.
5). If the buyer tries to rush the item being shipped it could also be suspicious as well. Although there are several legitimate reasons as to why a buyer would like to have the item shipped the same day, it’s truly in your best interest to abide by your policy on International shipments and unconfirmed shipping addresses, as this will save you a lot of time and money. Some buyers will use this tactic to expedite their scamming process. Once the item is shipped you will find a nice little surprise, they’ve changed all of their information within their eBay/PayPal account and claim that you shipped the item to the wrong address. Although both eBay and PayPal have very robust systems to detect suspicious activity such as this, the turn around for a resolution can be a long process and you could be out funds until they resolve the situation.
In conclusion most people who use PayPal to purchase products online are completely legitimate. If you follow these simple precautionary measures within your e-commerce sales, you will save yourself a substantial amount of time, money and stress in the event of a possible scam attempt. Use your best judgment, common sense and be empowered by the fact that you have the skills to stop potential scam artists in their tracks.
As human beings we possess several emotions and thoughts that could be affecting very negatively on our chances of business success. As certain emotions are completely normal, it is sometimes necessary to reprogram your thought process in a sense, to coincide with our business aspirations. Many tend to worry about too many of the small things, whether it’s financial hardship, the risks involved with dropping everything to create a business, or the way others will perceive their business initiatives. Worry can be the single most determining factor of the decision to withhold from a business opportunity and can also be the largest mistake of your life. On the contrary, it is extremely important to ensure you’ve obtained the proper knowledge of the field you’re planning on indulging in.
To be part of a truly successful business, you must have a say in the decisions that go in to that business. Worry often gets in the way of your good judgment and can cloud your vision. Worrying to much could be sabotoging your business, or preventing you from establishing your business in the first place. On the other hand, being too comfortable and jumping in to every business opportunity that comes your way could also be a costly mistake.
Everyone has experienced life differently; Jobs, life skills and family situations affect everyone in a diverse manor and to truly succeed at your online money making initiatives you must train yourself to think differently than you’ve been doing your entire life. Training your mind to acquire the attitude of abundance can be as demanding as an athlete training for the Olympics, it truly does take time, adjustment and new logic. Sounds difficult, right? Well, truthfully it can be very difficult, as there’s several things we’re used to doing consistently on a daily basis and may not even notice at times. People were brought up under the assumption that to succeed in life you should finish school, get a secondary education and move on to a “steady job”, which basically means playing it safe. Take charge and lay the foundation for your business model. If you research correctly and align your plans, a business can be extremely profitable and give you the financial freedom you’ve only seen in your best dreams.
You should always be analyzing your thought patterns when it comes to business decisions. Have you recently come across a business opportunity that looks fantastic, taken the extra step to dig deeper and find that the opportunity could in fact change your life but haven’t taken the first step? Millions of people contemplate starting their own business every day, but never commit. This all stems back to worry and the fear of failure. If everyone in the world let the emotion get to them to the extent that it caused them to fall back on their business aspirations, there would be no such thing as a Fortune 500 company, or even a stock exchange for that matter. Business has positively affected the lives of billions of people world wide, ranging from the entrepreneurs who founded the business and the job opportunities they’ve created for individuals.
Acquiring the attitude of abundance is extremely important to get your business moving in the right direction, or even off the ground. Most people aren’t born with this attitude and for some it can take years to flourish and an eternity to perfect, but your net worth will always equal your self worth. It’s a fact that we live in a era of unprecedented wealth and opportunity, finding your niche and taking your slice of the pie could be the hardest part, but once you set sail and develop a consistency in something that you’ve come to grasp, progress and opportunity will seek you.

Do these websites really work? Will they deliver the “targeted traffic” they promise? Will you increase revenue as result? Or even your Alexa/Google page rank? The quick answer is NO. Several of these websites claim to boost website traffic with highly qualified leads that will in turn, increase your website revenue. Some of these websites utilize expired domains as a method of delivering unique traffic from unique IP addresses, giving the impression of a real person visiting your site. This will also show in your website analytics as unique visitors. I did a quick demo of one of the sites (I can’t say which one). Purchased the membership for 10,000 unique visitors. I did start to see hits coming in (I have a real time hit application, which shows in real time when each visitor visits one of my sites). I ordered the “rush” option to ensure that their services were in fact accurate, as far as the amount of visitors that were supposed to be delivered on a daily basis. I also tracked each individual IP. It turns out that 100% of the hits I was receiving were actually fake traffic from expired domains. So, was it a complete waste of time and money? Not really. You see, although the traffic may not have contributed to higher revenue for the site, they did however contribute to our page ranking and Alexa ranking. The results were actually fairly decent (keep in mind your page ranking could decline, as Google checks to see how long the visitor was on the site, to determine the value of the content provided). The cost of the campaign was around $20 USD and the promised amount of visitors were delivered for the most part, I would say around 75%, however not quite as promised, the consistent traffic did have a positive affect.
At the end of the day you really have to ask yourself how a company could offer ridiculous amounts of traffic for such a low price. It’s quite obvious that there has to be some sort of gimmick, otherwise they would not be in business. It’s like buying friends, the idea of attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to your website sounds too good to be true, probably because it is.
Stick with Google Adwords and experienced Internet marketing firms to help you along the way. Your PPC campaigns could be optimized to show a good return on investment, which legitimate, qualified buyers.
You would have heard of people making a lot of money with eBay, selling various products. These success stories compel us to read about eBay and understand how it works.
It is an auction website that is said to be one of the largest online websites and receives millions of visitors every day. Selling on eBay gives us the opportunity to sell to people from all over the world, unlike a physical store, where only locals are targeted. Earning a full time income from home is no longer a dream!
Your first question would be what to sell and where do you find products to sell? Start by selling the few odds and ends that are lying around the house. The saying that one man’s junk is another’s gold holds so true. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you sell under quality stuff. Below are some of the ways to find products to sell on ebay:
Your Home
A good place to find products to sell in the initial stages is your home. I am sure you have plenty of baby clothes, car seats, toys, monitors, books, china, cards, comics, electronics and a number of other things. As long as they are in good condition, these can be sold easily. Once you make some cash with these, you can venture into buying stuff for selling on eBay.
Second Hand Shops and Garage Sales
With the money that was made from selling things around the house, you can now start buying from second hand shops and garage sales. Look out for things that are in good condition. If you are lucky, you may find things that sell well. Do not venture into selling things that are too heavy and go for lightweight items that are easy to send. You will be amazed at the number of things you will find and the profit that can be made.
Wholesalers
Once you have made enough from the above methods, you can start searching for a good wholesaler, where you can find goods at great wholesale rates.
Finding a good wholesaler is not an easy task. There are so many so-called wholesalers whose prices are not competitive. You will not find much help here if you ask others because nobody wants to share the names of good wholesalers as they don’t want competition. This is the art of survival at it’s best!
First, you will need to look around at what is being sold on ebay and what sells well, and check the pulse of eBay. From my experience, I would say that electronics sell very well and since new ones keep entering the market every day, you will find a lot of buyers. Search for wholesalers in this niche, and settle for one that is the best.
I would suggest you join salehoo This is a place where you can find some of the best wholesalers for anything and everything you can think of. They even have a forum where you can meet others and get some ideas on legitimate wholesalers.

Today, affiliate marketing programs is seen as one of the most important methods by online companies and merchants to market their products and services because implementing an affiliate program doesn’t cost much money and it helps generate a consistent stream of online profit.
On the other hand, the affiliates see affiliate marketing as a feasible and low cost method to make online online by promoting other people products using a website or without a website (using Google AdWords PPC advertising program).
There are many affiliate programs on the Internet and not all of them are similar. The most basic affiliate programs fall into 3 categories:
Pay Per Performance
Pay per performance (PPP) affiliate programs are what most companies and online merchants likes to use. The companies only need to pay when an affiliate referral translates into an action. The action can be a purchase or a lead. The affiliates will spend their own money to promote the affiliated company’s products, This save a lot of money for the company. PPP affiliate programs can be futher classified into 2 sub-categories:
Pay Per Click (PPC) Affiliate Programs
PPC affiliate programs are most popular. You should have heard them a lot. PPC programs are probably the easiest way for web publishers to make money from their websites and blogs. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount ($0.05 to $0.50 usually) whenever a visitor click a banner or text ad displaying on the affiliate’s website. PPC typically used by contextual advertising companies like Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Networks and much more.
Residual Income Affiliate Marketing Programs
In this type of programs, the affiliate not only compensated for every customer referred to the merchant’s website, the affiliate is also paid whenever the referred customer returns to the site and buy another product.
The different types of affiliate marketing programs would deffinitely work differently for merchants and affiliates, and each would have their own advantages and drawbacks. To find out which types of programs work best for you, you’ll have to know which one of them suit your need and characteristic most. And then start testing them.
Some people make a lucrative living selling on eBay. Many look at eBay as merely a hobby where a community of people meet to buy and sell, but from personal experience, processing over $40,000.00 USD in transactions every single month is much more than just a hobby.
Some people often wonder how it is that some eBay sellers make it and some fail before they can get 50 sales under their belt. Well the answer is quite simple, treat your eBay business as you would any other business. Just because you’re selling on eBay does not mean that you should slack when it comes to customer service, or especially developing your ad’s.
One of the single most determining factors of driving traffic to your eBay listings are properly manipulating your title (within eBay terms and conditions) to attract a realm of diverse potential clients. Clients that may not have been anticipating stumbling upon your ad.
I personally deal in a highly saturated market (Consumer Electronics). With a vast amount of competition, perfecting your ad’s title is crucial. Some people spend tons of extra money on using subtitles, bolding their listing in search results, or even using the featured ad tool. Properly manipulating your ad’s title will eliminate the need for all of this excess cost. Not only will you be attracting more quality visitors to your ad, but you will be cutting down on major costs, which could potentially add up to thousands in a year, or even a quarter.
So, with so many different products to sell, where do you even start to think of how to properly word your listings?
1). Research exactly what it is your selling. Let’s say you’re selling laptop computers. Go to the Google keyword tool (just Google, "Google Keyword Tool") and search the phrase "laptop computer", or whatever it is you’re selling for that matter. Find out which words place highest in the search results. These are very accurate statistics accumulated through Google over time and can help you substantially when it comes to naming your ad. Use this to your advantage when it comes time to name your ad. Instead of putting a title like "Laptop Computer For Sale. Great Value", use highly targeted keywords that people are going to actually search on eBay, such as "DELL INSPIRON 1525 LAPTOP COMPUTER. DUO CORE, 2GB RAM, VISTA + MORE!", this title will more than likely result in over 5 times that of the first title. I always like to use capitalized letters and leave a teaser at the end as well to spark attention. Leaving something like "+More" at the end of your title creates curiosity and lures people to see exactly what it is they may receive as an incentive, or freebie. It could be something small. Fact of the matter is, the more people that view your ad’s, the higher your item will get bided up, or the more Buy It Now sales you’ll complete. Using caps automatically makes your listing stand out over others without spending a dime.
2). Find out who your competition is and what they’re offering and for what price. eBay is very highly saturated and competitive pricing will make or break you. Offer something as a freebie, people love to think they’re receiving a better value than they anticipated. Like I said in point #1, include a teaser in your title. Something like "+ More", or "Free Accessories" spike instant interest and lure people to click on your ad.
3). Use a simple photo editing application, even Microsoft Paint will work for this. Edit the image to have a fluorescent background. I like to use lime green, or red as it catches the eye instantly. Make sure the actual product is still visible within the photo, but have a very strong background/border to catch people’s eye.
Over the years I have found these methods to be extremely helpful in boosting hits to my listings and conversions/final auction values will inevitably increase as a result. eBay is truly a game of testing what works best for the product your selling. You may never perfect your listings, but you can always improve them and see instant results.
