Starting out on Ebay

Hiya,

It's been a few days since I started the blog so eating into the two year deadline! However I have taken some action. You can't see results without doing something about it!

A couple of weeks back I went on a course in London on Internet marketing. Very interesting and informative. Basically it was telling us how to make money online. Lots of information but the fact that some people had paid for an additional course over a year ago and had not even taken it out of the box showed me that it is not only information that will get you where you want to be.

The thing that works for me is taking small but positive steps. After all you can only reach a goal if you move towards it, however slowly you are going!

During this course they offered a few products. A mentoring course helping you design a website, price $4000. Another crash course on Internet business, price $5000. As I sat there thinking I don't have the money for one of those, a realisation dawned on me. I have been learning so much over the last couple of years I should have enough to put a business online and earn something little from it.

I mean I'm sure those courses are amazing and I would learn so much. But after the course had finished and I'm back at home, would I continue with the same drive and motivation?

With that question in mind, I worked out I have to go with what I know so far and just try it out. I have to get my motivation and focus sorted out before I could succeed.

As the last session came to an end of the last day they offered a cheaper product. I sat up and listened intently as the bloke on stage, Jason Bax I think, spoke about starting out on Ebay. Now I have used Ebay from time to time, selling bits and bobs, buying hard to find records, never really thinking it of a place to do real business.

The information provided over the weekend regarding Ebay had a couple of great ideas which I never thought of. So this course would be full of ideas! The price came up and it was going for $177 which is about £87.40 with the exchange rate at the time. Seeing as I am on lock down this month (no going out, no delivery takeaways) I thought I have to start somewhere.

I have only read the first step so far but if nothing else it is inspiring me into action. Inspiration is priceless and at £87.40 I think I have had a bargain.

Anyway I will keep you updated on how the learning is coming on. For anyone wanting to learn with me go to http://www.auctiontips.com/t.cgi/971357
