Money money money!

If you've ever read a Squidoo Lens about eBay Marketing, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn't unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay.

So... why not you?!

The Powersellers 

Next time you're on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are: you'll find quite a few.

Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a PowerSeller.

Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000.

The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

Can you imagine that?! 

The fact that these people exist gives you come idea of the income possibilities here. Most of them never set out to even set up a business on eBay - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going.

There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now.

Can you imagine that?

Once they've bought the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else.

There are multi-million pound businesses making less in actual profit than eBay PowerSellers do.

The Hilarious eBay Song! 

Made by Weird Al Yankovic

Does this show what ebay is like or what?! I love it! :-)

"Ebay" by Weird Al Yankovic

"I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys is parodied by the excellent Weird Al Yankovic "Ebay" song - synched to the videoclip. I must admit Ebay is very much the way he describes it in the song. Don't take it too seriously; just enjoy! btw I actually love 'Star Wars'.

Earn money from other people's auctions, even if you sell nothing! 

Build A Niche Store. This is, by far, the greatest tool for making money from ebay.

With this tool you can create up to 28,926 different niche stores, selling ANYTHING that is for sale on ebay.

And if it's selling on ebay, it might as well earn you money! You don't ever have to list a single item or deal with a single customer.

Build your niche stores, people go to ebay through your store, and ebay pay YOU up to 65% of THEIR profits!

...the ebay affiliates who earn over $100,000 a month? They have their own niche stores. But this niche store creator thingy makes it so much easier for you.

I recommend: Go Get It!

Build A Niche Store

Anyone... even you! ;-) 

What's more, eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very young.

Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor.

eBay tears down the barriers to earning that the real world constantly puts up. There's no job interview and no commuting involved - if you can post things, you can do it.

It's up to you! 

Even if you don't want to quit your job and really go for it, you can still use eBay to make a significant second income.

You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery each Saturday.

There are few other things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere near that kind of earning potential.

The income potential gets particularly crazy when you think about things like dropshipping, and selling information products like ebooks.

Become an eBay Powerseller 

As taught by the powersellers!

The eBay powersellers often write how-to guides about how they got where they are right now.

And they often sell them for just a couple of dollars, which is great to just download and check out.

So here are a couple featured, if you're interested:

Put it this way: 

If you know where to get something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that's not exactly difficult.

Buy a job lot of something in-demand cheaply, sell it on eBay, and you're making money already, with no set-up costs.

But you really should think about dropshipping or selling ebooks or other downloadable media. 100% on anything your buyers DOWNLOAD from you!

Hot Selling eBay Products on the Hidden Web 

See what you can find...

Starting with... your junk! 

If you want to dip your toe in the water before you commit to actually buying anything to sell, then you can just sell things that you've got lying around in the house.

Search through that cupboard of stuff you never use, and you'll probably find you've got a few hundred dollars worth of stuff lying around in there!

This is the power of eBay: there is always someone who wants what you're selling, whatever it might be, and since they've come looking for you, you don't even need to do anything to get them to buy it.

So you want to get started on eBay?

Well, that's great! There are only a few little things you need to learn to get started.

Check out my other lenses for more information. The eBay Group is probably the best place to start!
