It's time to sell my business

Several years ago I started selling on E-Bay. I started small, just selling things from around the house, but with time my E-Bay selling went from hobby to business. It is time to hand that business over to a new generation of E-Bay entrepreneurs. I sell musical instruments, and with a little time and a little effort you can be selling musical instruments successfully as well. For the first time ever, I'm offering my secrets to E-Bay success, but only to a limited number of people.

 

The Problem: Most E-Bay courses tell you how to sell items on E-Bay, but they fail to tell you exactly where to get items. They also fail to provide a clear, step-by-step system for successfully listing and selling for big profits. The Solution: The Musical Instrument E-Bay Powerseller Course provides you with all of the information you need to immediately begin making a full-time income online.

Why Musical Instruments

So why would you want to sell musical instruments? To answer this question, I’m going to tell you the story of how I started selling on Ebay.

One Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were watching television. Once the Sunday morning news shows go off, all that is left on TV are religious programs and infomercials.

For fun, we watched this infomercial where a slick, weasely looking guy and an attractive, big-grinning woman explained how their system could teach us how to make big money on Ebay.

I’m sure you’ve seen the infomercial. They claim that you can list stuff to sell, without actually having the stuff. And then when your customer orders and pays you, you order from another company (called a dropshipper) who ships directly to your customer.

No upfront cost?

No upfront cost!

I laughed. I’d never sold or bought anything on Ebay, but I told my wife that I didn’t need this guy’s book to teach me how.

And I was sure that a quick trip to Google would provide the names of companies willing to supply me with products. I doubt these businesses are hiding. They make money by selling goods, right?

My wife told me to put up or shut up. She challenged me to sell something I didn’t have and make a profit.

So I went to Google. I typed in “dropshipper.” I’m sure you’ve done this.

There were HUNDREDS of companies that would dropship products for me. All I had to do was pay a one-time fee of $39.95 and I could be selling their products, making thousands a week!

Do REAL Dropshippers exist?

You may already know the result: once you get your membership, you learn that the “wholesale” price you pay is more than you can sell the item for on Ebay.

These so-called dropshippers are making money -- $39.95 a pop. But you don’t make a dime.

I got burned about 3 times by these types of companies and then gave up. No more dropshipping for me.

Instead, I purchased the resell rights to a set of Hypnosis CDs and I began selling those for $29.95 on Ebay.

The CDs sold, and I made about $900 a month, which was pretty good since I was only doing it part-time. But I had to burn 6 CDs everytime one sold. It took a LOT of time.

I eventually got burned out and stopped. (I have recently figured out how to make this work with little time. I’ll show where to learn.)

Real Dropshipper, No Upfront Cost

Then one day while surfing the web, I found a site that would dropship products for me. There was no membership fee, only a small handling fee per item.

I noticed this site had guitars. I’ve played guitar professionally for a few years before I started teaching high school, and the prices they had listed were pretty cheap.

I strolled over to Ebay and found the same guitars being sold for MORE than the wholesale price.

This Could Work!

I had already learned all of the ins and outs of selling on Ebay from my Hypnosis CD days. So I started listing and these things started selling!

What’s even better is I learned the site I was dealing with was a middleman who was having a REAL dropshipper dropship for them. I found the real dropshipper and my profit exploded. I’ll tell you all about them.

I Set Myself Free

So that is how I started selling musical instruments. Now for why you should:

The honest truth is that I got lucky. I picked a product because I knew something about that product. Not everything that you can get dropshipped sells well on Ebay. In fact, as I learned later, most things don’t.

Chris, Great system, thanks. I have had good luck with the first day. I listed 4 guitars and actually sold one on the very first day. I've already fulfilled the order! Thanks for the help. Patrick Brewer Rangeley, ME

Hi Chris, Just got done reading the manual that comes with the course. Well its 5 am but your writing style is great--I can see you really love teaching. I am very impressed with your ideas and have picked up some great pointers from you. We have been selling on ebay for almost 10 years full time and you make some great simple ideas for time management. Well thanks again for a great business. Tim Siltman Madison, WI

 

It will not take countless hours to get your business going. This course comes with everything you need to get started quickly.

Once you're up and running, it will take only about 30 minutes a day to maintain, and you can realisticlly be making over $240 an hour.

Why get started?

In 2005 I expect annual sales of over $100,000 from musical instruments sold on E-Bay. After costs, that should be a net profit of a little more than $35,000.

That’s not a lot of money, but that’s from about 2 hours worth of real work each week. As a schoolteacher it took 60 hours a week to earn the same amount.

So although musical instruments aren’t making me a millionaire I’m still making $240 per hour. Not bad.

I could make more selling guitars, but I would have to work more and I have more profitable enterprises that are more near and dear to my heart.

You see, I’ve used the same general techniques and principles outlined in this very specific course to create other ventures. I've expanded my business to include more than just musical instruments.

I’m not a millionaire ... yet.

But I’m living very comfortably. I have time to play and freedom to do what ever I want. With all of my ventures, I work about 3-4 hours per day. That’s 15-20 hours a week. Some days I take off and go surfing. Other days I work 10 hours straight. The important thing is that I decide when I work. I decide what I work on.

I tell you this because I don’t want you to start off with the wrong idea. I’m no snake-oil salesman. I believe in telling the truth. Selling musical instruments on E-Bay will NOT make you filthy rich.

Here’s a little secret that some people only out for your money will never tell you: although it is possible to profit over $100,000 per year on E-Bay, it takes a LOT of work. I’m talking 60 hours a week. I’m not up for that.

Although you probably won’t get really rich just selling musical instruments, you can certainly use your success and profits as a stepping-stone towards more lucrative opportunities. I’ll have more to say about that in the course.

Or you could just use the information you get from this course to set-up a simple, reliable part-time income. It all depends on your goals.

This course will teach you how you can make some extra money with an average of less than 30 minutes worth of work each day. You too can make over $240 per hour.

I will also teach you the first steps towards “living off the net,” making an income like I do: sitting in your home office in a baggy t-shirt and shorts.

In this course, you’ll learn how to duplicate my musical instrument business. I’m not leaving any details out. You’ll learn it all, soup to nuts.

And if you have the desire to succeed and the ability to follow simple instructions, then you can make money too.

In this course you'll learn how to blow away the competition. The vast majority of them have horrible feedback ratings and list in ways that you can exploit to your benefit.

Can you profit?
