When first learning how to sell on eBay, there’s one thing I can think of that attributed greatly to our success…
It happened in our first year of “business.” This means that although we were starting to learn how to sell, and we had spent lots of money and time learning, we weren’t actually selling yet.
(Isn’t it funny how determined you can be to get started at something, and how you can learn everything about a subject… but it doesn’t matter until you actually get started with it?)
It didn’t matter that we had the top experts teaching us everything we would ever want to know. The only thing that mattered was the action that we took. Instead of taking action, we were procrastinating.
Not taking action is probably the biggest barrier you’ll face when you want to start to make money online. Learning as much as you can about the topic makes you feel like you’re accomplishing something. The more you learn, the closer you think you’re getting to your goal. That’s not true. The only way you’ll get closer to your goal is to put in the work that is necessary to get you to your goal.
How do you break free from just learning and not doing? Let me share with you how we went from $0 to a profitable $3,000 a month eBay business in less than 60 days.
What was it? A simple contest. Our teachers said that whoever was the first person who could sell $1,000 in one month would win a cash prize.
Now, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying that entering a contest is going to make you successful. It’s going to take more than that. In fact, it wasn’t really the contest itself that helped us out. It was about setting a goal with a tangible outcome. It was a goal that we really believed in and we were determined to hit.
So we pushed for the contest. We pulled all the strings we could to start selling. We did more things that month than the previous six months combined. Long story short, we didn’t even win the contest, but it set us up for something bigger than we could imagine.
We accomplished a greater goal than we thought possible. We were only a few bucks short of $1,000 that first month, and the following month we sold $3,000 and were actually turning a profit. We literally built an entire eBay business and money making system in less than 60 days.
So what does this mean for someone just learning how to sell?
If you’ve been struggling getting an eBay business going and have been researching and learning, the first thing you need to do is commit. It’s amazing what you can achieve when you believe with absolute certainty that starting an eBay business will change your life and provide you with a passive income in spite of the present economy.
It’s not going to happen in an instant. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. You need to find the proper step by step training by someone who has been there and laid the groundwork for you, and you need to follow them to the letter.
Success leaves footprints. If you do the same steps as someone who is already making money on online you will get the same results.
