How to make money on eBay while you travel


Have you ever thought of making a steady income online ... during the trip? eBay provides a fantastic platform for doing this is not very difficult or time. You can travel abroad for a long period, taking just a few online auctions per week if you set things correctly.

Most people dismiss eBay as a viable travel business because they think you have the presence of a physical inventory ... and during the trip, which would clearly be limited by the size of your luggage.

There are good news and more good news. The first good news is that you definitely do not need to have a physical object or inventory to sell. You can easily sell a digital product delivered or rent a cheap house than to ship your stuff for you. Here's the 'more' good news: because most people dismiss Ebay for making a travel income the market is left open for this type of marketing!

The other big reason entrepreneurs dismiss Ebay is because they think it's for selling old stuff around the house. They take a mindset 'garage sale' on eBay (sell your extra stuff around the house). This is great for some people, but wrong for business!

So, here is the basic model for traveling and making money with online auctions:

1) Find a product to sell. This is easy. You can sell a digital E-book, if you do not want to carry an inventory, or you can resell items from wholesalers at a markup. Just go on the lists of a dozen wholesalers and start watching their wholesale product announcements.

2) According to these products, limit to what people want. This is the biggest stumbling block would-be auction sellers make ... They sell a product that you think people need instead of what people actually buy. You must find where highway traffic is flowing and stand in front of a network with a lot of money.

3) Study the competition. You should steal what other competitors are doing that is working! Look for sellers who consistently sell products in the market of your choice, and see what they're doing. I'm on eBay, because what they are doing is working! By the way, do not get scared by the competition. Competition means there is a market of buyers!

4) get your feet wet. Go there and make a list! Start the bidding price low so that people get emotionally invested in the product. Show lots of pictures. Consider using an auction listing template to make things nice ... but remember, the story is that people are pulled in more than a pretty website, so make them feel as if they were already in possession of the product and show them the benefits of owning the product, not the features.

5) a larger scale. Having had some success with some few auctions, you can now make more sales and bigger sales.

So how do you travel and sell on eBay? Easy. There are internet cafes all over the world is that you can access for a minimum of $ 0.10 cents per hour! Most will be about $ 1 - $ 2 dollars an hour, and you have a surprisingly high-tech computer to access the web.

You can change your listings from abroad and have your house construction (or your little brother!) You manage shipments. If you want, you can also have a Customer Service Center telephone applications of the buyer .......
