eBay Millionaire Reveals His Secrets To Derek Gehl – A Review

eBay Millionaire Reveals His Secrets To Derek Gehl – A Review

“The Insiders Secrets of an eBay Millionaire” is a complete study of the techniques to make a reasonable living on eBay. Derek Gehl and Brandon Dupsky have teamed up to develop a detailed system on how to navigate eBay, find the right products, enjoy profitable online auctions and strive to become a Power Seller. Every tip and trick that Brandon has used on eBay to generate his 8 million dollars in sales last year, were apparently told to Derek Gehl.

The only part that was difficult for me is the time it took to study and digest the material included. There is so much information you will probably have to return to the books until they become second nature. The author’s claim that you will be up and running on eBay in 24 hours, is a little ambitious. Take your time and really let the information sink in.

The following background was supplied by the authors: “You may have heard of Derek Gehl CEO of The Internet Marketing Center, a company with over 40 million dollars in internet sales. Brandon Dupsky on the other hand tends to fly under the radar. He is a regular guy from Nebraska that started selling a few odds and ends from his garage. Brandon then turned the internet business into one with sales last year of 8 million dollars. Derek convinced Brandon to reveal his secrets on how to become an eBay entrepreneur”.

Their study is full of details that anyone interested in eBay auctions as a hobby or a home business should try. It demonstrated to me how you can start from nothing and move forward into a profitable eBay business. I spent years learning what works and what doesn’t work for me on eBay. The authors have drastically reduced the time it will take you to become an eBay success.

The course materials are considerable. Their base is a 237 page manual and 4 audio-CD’s, all filled with tips on building an eBay business from scratch. Each audio-CD has a read along transcript with margin notes. These notes are excellent since they highlight the most important topics that were addressed on each page. There are also 4 bonus CD-ROMs with instructions on more advanced eBay buying selling techniques. The CD-ROMs answered my questions about how to attract more bids on my products, how to create better listings that brought more bidders to my auctions, and how to set up a simple payment and shipping system. These steps are very important in establishing yourself on eBay. If you already have an internet business like I do, the authors have some good ideas on how to tap into some of the 2,000,000 visitors who come to eBay daily.

“The Insiders Secrets of an eBay Millionaire” delivered on its pledge to me and will teach you the fundamentals needed in order to grow into an eBay authority. It logically takes you through the steps, from finding a product to completing an auction. This package will be something that you refer to time after time and I suggest you take notes as you go along.

If anything, you may have to read all of the material again before you will be able to absorb all of the information about eBay auctions. The authors go into a lot of detail and I was pleased with what they revealed to me, a successful eBay Power Seller.

In Derek’s Gehl’s introduction, he tells you that you can’t afford not to have this information and I agree with him. For me, this was a good source to learn more about eBay and I am making the most of it.

Some people have asked me if there was some way to improve on this product and I can honestly say not much. I was pleased about the information that I learned from the authors because I have been selling on eBay since 1999.

The only unanswered question I have is how Brandon Dupsky manages his various weekly auctions. I would have preferred an in-depth study on how he accomplishes this very involved task.

If you are interested in growing an eBay business, this is a comprehensive course that will be very helpful. I give it a high rating.
Profit Streams my highest recommendation and a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.

In addition to this valuable course you get one full year of monthly coaching calls from Holly and further access to her on the student forum and help desk. This is a very fair and impressive package. Holly sincerely wants everyone to be successful. Holly continues to teach various ways of building passive profits and strategies to her students.

Beyond Your Garage, Finding Stuff To Sell On EBay

Beyond Your Garage, Finding Stuff To Sell On EBay

Billions of dollars worth of products are sold on eBay and other online merchants every year. Where are people getting all these items to sell? Surely, they’ve emptied their closets and garages by now. Even if they have, finding stuff to sell online is still relatively easy. Several sources are available for those who want to make a little or a lot of cash selling online.

Home Stuff

Not all garages have been cleared of junk. Weekend garage sales are still popular places to find items to sell. Sales in higher income areas tend to net more quality items like designer clothes, high end furniture, and antiques. However, don’t neglect an average Joe garage sale; one never knows what unique items will be unearthed regardless of the neighborhood. Go to these sales toward the end of the day. Homeowners will be more inclined to sell you merchandise at rock bottom prices rather than having to pack up unsold items.

Look through your own garage and closets to find items to sell online. You may be harboring old clothes, books, Cds, and toys that will bring in a few bucks online. Offer to rid your friends and family of their unwanted junk by selling on consignment. You sell their stuff and keep %25 of the profits. Local retailers may also agree to let you sell their overstocks and returned merchandise on consignment as well.

Buy Online, Sell Online

Finding stuff to sell online is as easy as buying it from the same online source. eBay is an excellent place to find everything from antiques to huge lots of merchandise that you can buy and resell at a profit.

Locate other online sources by using search terms such as wholesale liquidators, closeout dealers, and drop-ship services. These same sources can also be found in print media including the Yellow Pages and classified ads in newspapers, trade magazines, and free weeklies.

Auction Action

Unclaimed, slightly damaged, and repossessed merchandise can be purchased at freight claims and government auctions. Check the Yellow Pages for contact information and newspaper classified section for upcoming sales.

There’s a storage unit operation on every corner these days. The storage company auctions off the contents of unpaid rental units. Although the contents are sold sight unseen, there’s probably enough sale worthy items inside to let you break even.

Ebay Strategy #1 ? Know How Much Your Auctions Are Really Making

Ebay Strategy #1 ? Know How Much Your Auctions Are Really Making

There are many sellers who are working full time at selling on eBay. In fact, it is their primary source of income and yet they have no idea how much they are making, I mean really clearing from the whole endeavor.

It’s easy to get carried away when you first start listing on eBay by the sheer volume of work. I remember working well past midnight running on pure adrenalin and excited by the fact that there was money coming into my Paypal account daily from the items I was selling.

But like the great basketball coach John Wooden says, “Never confuse activity with actual achievement”. Just because you are moving like a whirling dervish doesn’t mean that you are necessarily meeting your financial objectives.

So how do you know how much you are really making on eBay? It is possible to figure it out but you have to start with real numbers. The traditional profit calculation:

Revenue – Expenses = Profit

can be somewhat helpful but only if you plug in the accurate numbers. The guy who bought something for .00 sold it on eBay for .00 and thinks he make a .00 profit is way wrong. He has actually lost money on the sale.

But to understand how he lost money we need to look at the right way to calculate your eBay earnings. If you have set ,000 a year as your financial objective then you need to actually clear about per day on eBay.

If you are looking to sell an item that costs you .00 and generally closes at auction for about .00 with a 70% sell-through rate, then you need to list 12 of these actions a day, everyday, in order to clear your .00 per day.

This translates to 70 auctions a week for your item and it better continue to produce for you. If your weekly auctions go much over this 70 auctions per week you will surely have to hire help thereby adding to your expenses and wreaking havoc on your financials as outlined above.

This scenario is not meant to scare you but to make you aware of the real dollars and cents of selling on eBay. So what is the solution to this? To find and sell item that you can sell over and over again, thereby reducing the amount of labor involved and being sure that you buy low and sell high.

You have to continually evaluate what your time is worth and factor that into the items you sell and the time that it takes to list them. All auctions are not created equally. Some items are decidedly more difficult and/or labor intensive to list than others; with clothing being one of the most time-consuming.

Photographing your items for auction is one of the most labor-intensive tasks you will have to do for your auction. So having an item that you can just sell over and over again makes the process of listing and relisting a lot easier. If you are selling unique, one of a kind items then it becomes important to factor in additional time for photographing items, in your calculations of the hourly rate you pay yourself.

Just like in any business, keeping track of the numbers will let you know if you are on the right financial track with your eBay business.
