Making money online is work just like anything else but the beauty of it is your working for yourself when churning that profit. It feels like less of a task and the more time you put into it the more you make.

The best way I have found easiest way to make money on the internet is selling on Ebay. Here are some tips below if your interested in getting started:

Ebay Selling Tips: #1

You don’t need much to sign up for Ebay and you don’t need much to start buying on Ebay either, but to start selling you need a little more. This is because you will be collecting money off of their customers!

Gather these things before you even go to the registration page if you plan to start selling fast.

Bank Account # and a debit or credit card that you can link to your new Ebay account to collect money!

A non - P.O. Box address with a phone number (this can be a home phone or cell phone).

Enter all this information into the registration page and do the necessary verifications.

These include verifying your email by clicking on the registration link they send you. Allowing an Ebay automated teller to call whatever phone you specify and rattle off a 4 digit pin that you must then enter when they ask you.

When you sign up for your Ebay account you should immediately sign up for your Paypal account. This is by far the most accepted and easy payment receipt method on Ebay.

Paypal will also do some verification steps including sending 2 small deposits under 25 cents (.25 dollars) to the bank account you provided.

By verifying the exact amount of money they made in those deposits they feel confident that the account number you provided is actually yours.

* Important Ebay Tip - If you want to get selling as fast as possible you need to do the Paypal registration that day also. It sometimes takes a couple of business days for Paypal’s deposits to show up in your account

Ebay Selling Tips: #2

Find something to sell! You can sell anything on Ebay. The more desirable or popular an item the more you’ll make of course. Some good 1st time selling items are cell phones you don’t use anymore, a collector’s item, the list is endless.

Get out your digital camera or borrow one so that you can take a picture of the item you are selling. Taking a good picture can increase your chances 10 fold when it comes to selling your item.

Take the picture where there is sufficient light but not too much so that there is not a glare off of the item. Taking a picture with the item laying on a big white posterboard (dull side up) is fine for getting you started. That is actually what I still use.

Ebay Selling Tips: #3

Find or gather some basic information about your item such as the condition, specifications, or just a simple description of exactly what it is.

For example if you wanted to sell an old book your grandfather passed down to you, then you would want to look at the year it was published, the subject matter (what is the book about?), and the condition. Get ready to put this information into your selling description.



Ebay Selling Tips: #4

Now it’s time to List your Item! Go through the “Sell” button in the upper right hand corner of your Ebay page and start filling out your listing.

One of the first things your going to be asked for is the Item Title. Don’t dismiss this part lightly.

The title block to your item is just as important or more important than the whole item description to follow when getting potential buyers finding and clicking on your item out of the 10s of millions of other items out there. It’s a balance between having the Item Title flow when reading it and getting as many search keywords in there as possible.

Ebay searches work a lot like Google searches. The more keywords and phrases that match a buyers search words the higher the item comes up in their search. Get as many keywords and specifics in there as possible.

Tips for the Item Title are as follows:

Use all the character space they provide to you to elaborate and put as many keywords and phrases specific to your item as possible.

Mix up the use of Capitol letters throughout the title. I don’t recommend using punctuation as that just wastes your allowable characters that you could be using for words that will help you get found better in the searches.

Searches pick up numbers too so be sure to use any model numbers or year dates if they are applicable to the item.

I think using a drop-shipper for your eBay ventures is also a good idea! This way you don't have to stock up on inventory and your drop-shipper will ship out the item for you too! Cheers!

Build a good reputation. Be a responsible eBay buyer and you'll earn a good reputation. Shoppers pay more for items from sellers they trust.
eBay charges less for listings from highly-rated sellers. And if you have a good reputation, you'll place higher in eBay's listing results.

What is a drop-shipper? How does that work?
