    Long Range Potential of List Building
    The nice thing about list building is that you can start wherever you are, you can start at o names or 1000 names and build from there. Your list can grow slowly or quickly. You can start out working one hour a day, and add 3 names per day and have 100 names by the end of the month. And you should make 50 dollars that month. The next month you do the same---add 3 per day, and at the end
    I spent nearly three months trying to sell products on eBay using a strategy called drop shipping. For those of you not familiar with the concept, here's how it works. You find a wholesaler who is willing to work with you on a drop shipping basis. (Note: there are several fine directories available of just such wholesalers.) You put some of this company's products on eBay, sell them, and then pay the wholesaler who packs and ships the products for you.

    Sounds pretty cool, huh? You never have to take possession of any products so you don't need warehouse space.. There's no packing and shipping. You just market the products and count your profits.

    As the punch line in one old joke would have it, "not so fast there, Abernathy."

    First, the market niche

    First, you have to find a profitable market niche and this just ain't easy. You might say that eBay has been too successful as it is now darn near impossible to find a market niche that isn't already very, very competitive. If you don't believe me, go to eBay and type in some uoffbeat search term such as "emperor penguins." I did this when writing this article and found two pages of stuff related to these birds, including penguin crossing signs (who would have guessed?), penguin art, and glass penguin figurines.

    Losing Control Of The Sales Process is The Kiss Of Failure
    One of the biggest mistakes poor salespeople make is that they lose control of the sales process. There are many ways they accomplish this feat. Here are a few for your consideration:1. They quote price – just because the prospect has asked (before they have had a chance to build value). 2. They don’t ask enough questions early in the sales process. They just ramble on. 3. T

    Freelance Work: The Changing Face of Employment
    The world sure is changing, and if you look at job employment you will see what I mean. Let's just go back to our grandparent's generation, even though I'm sure if we went back further we would see very different structures of work in the tribal periods of our history. Our grandparents usually found a skill, and then used that one skill to work for their whole career. An example is my grandf

    How Storytelling Can Grow Your Business
    People love stories. We love to hear about other people, and stories help us to learn, remember and put to use new concepts. Aesop knew this. His fables help us to learn life lessons through tales about others, without having to learn them the hard way.In modern times, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen also understand the power of stories to teach, motivate, and inspire. Their "Chi

    Second, you have to find a niche where you can expect a good mark-up. This is because your profit is the difference between what you will have to pay the wholesaler and what you can sell the item for on eBay.

    And there's the catch. Since you know what you will have to pay the wholesaler, say $25 for a nice lambs wool sweater, you have to either start the auction at $25 to keep from losing money, or do a “buy it now” for maybe $40 to get a $15 profit. But wait a minute. You have to pay your wholesaler to pack and ship the product – say $5 -- so your profit drops to $15. Plus, you check eBay and find the same sweaters are selling for $25. So, what are the chances you'll be able to sell yours for $40 or even $35?

    Now comes my secret fear

    I tried to sell a lot of products from a lot of different wholesalers. What I found is that no matter what products I put up for auction or buy it now, the same item was always available for less. In fact, hmm, some were available at the exact same price I had to pay my wholesalers.

    So my secret fear is that there are wholesalers who are selling products on eBay for the same amount they wanted me to pay for identical items – making it almost impossible for me to make a profit.

    Can I prove this? Of course not, because
