Making Money on the Internet: Ebay Stores

What do you need to do in order to earn a good living as an Internet Publisher? As a college student, you can be successful in this business if you have

  • drive
  • ambition
  • writing ability
  • a strategy.

The last one might be the most important. Having the right strategy can mean the difference between making a few pennies a day through Google Adsense alone, or earning an ever-increasing dollar amount through a diversified collection of websites and money-making methods.

One cash generating method is opening an Ebay store, providing items that you can find locally and making them available to customers across the country and around the world.

  • Integrate your websites and blogs to feed into and promote your Ebay storefront.
  • Offer to use your Ebay store to sell other peoples' stuff and collect a commission.
  • Sell your old books and textbooks for WAY more than the stupid college bookstore will give you for buy-back.

Look into wholesale distributors, yard sales, thrift shops, and going-out-of-business sales. These places are treasure troves of good cheap stuff that someone, somewhere is gonna pay you more for than what you paid for it. The way you find those particular buyers is through an Ebay storefront of your own. It's just one more building block in the foundation of your Internet Publishing empire.
