When we were first learning how to sell on eBay, there's one thing more than any other that contributed to our success.
It was in our first year of "business" - meaning that we spent tons of time and money trying to learn how to start our eBay business, but still never had one.
(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?)
We were learning from some top experts everything we could ever want about starting an eBay business, but we never took action to get started. We kept procrastinating and learning more and more without actually doing what was taught.
That's such a big barrier today with many people looking to get started making money online. Learning about the topic and hearing other people's success stories gives you the feeling that you're actually moving forward and making progress towards your ultimate goal, even though you haven't put in the work necessary to achieve that goal.
So here's the turning point where we went from absolutely nothing 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.
Please don't think that entering a contest automatically guarantees your success. It's much more than that. Even for us, it wasn't just about winning the prize or what we would do with the prize money. At the fundamental level, it was a goal with a tangible outcome. It was a goal 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 so much more than we thought possible. We were only a few dollars away from $1,000 in that first month. The next month, we sold $3,000 worth of products. In addition to that, we were turning a profit. To build a money-making system that went from $0 to $3,000 a month only took us 60 days.
So what does this mean for someone just getting started and 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.
