I Lost My Virginity On eBay!

I know I'm not alone in having my first online money making experience on eBay. I'll never forget the excitement of raising a healthy profit on a book I picked up at a jumble sale for pennies. It made me realise that there just might be an alternative to working a 40 hour week for an employer.

That was quite a while ago now, but ever since then I have been working on ways to refine the process. You see, I am basically lazy and I must admit that I got a bit tired of parcelling things up and visiting the post office each day.

I noticed that many people on eBay were selling eBooks - this seemed like a great way to make some money without the hassle of wrapping and sending parcels. So, not wanting to simply re-sell eBooks (I had an inkling that eBook authors would make the most money), I set to work writing my own with grand ideas about the fortune I would make selling it!

My first foray into the eBook world met with limited success. I had confined my selling activity to eBay and although I had the process down to a fine art with autoresponders etc, I soon realised that eBay is not necessarily the best place to make money with eBooks. As an example; how many people are sellling eBooks on eBay? The answer is TOO MANY! The competition is so fierce that many are listing them for pennies. Not a recipe for riches, I'm sure you will agree.

However, eBay is a great testing ground and a fantastic opportunity to advertise your wares to millions of online buyers - there are also huge benefits not on plain view to the average eBayer.
