So you’re starting your eBay business? That’s awesome. And as I’ve said many times before, I think that eBay is the fastest and easiest way to get started selling online. No other website can even touch the $60 billion marketplace that is eBay.
When you’re just getting started online, it’s important not to be an island. Sure you can run a massively successful eBay business from your home, but you’re going to have to connect with other “real” businesses in order to make the profits you want.
It’s been said that the only way to get what you want in life is to help other people get what they want. You’ve got to remember that your business should be helping your customers and suppliers. Want to know if you’re helping enough people? Check your bank balance. If it’s too low, you’re not helping enough people. It’s easy, really. Help more people, make more money.
So what’s the best way to help and connect with people? Get out there. Talk to local store owners. Go to business luncheons in your community. Carry your business cards around with you everywhere. Let everyone know that you sell on eBay, not just friends and family.
The more you get connected with people in your community, the more opportunities you have for you to help them (and them to help you). Think about businesses that you could help. Could you help them sell excess inventory? Are there other local businesses that need help to sell their products online? What about individuals that may need their antiques sold? When you start looking around, you’ll see opportunities all around you.
So what’s the bottom line? The more connections you have, the more people you help. The more people you help, the more successful you’ll become.
