Well, I've just about spent my limit for a while, so only have one snipe pending now, instead of dozens. What to do with my free time?
I am considering jumping into the selling side of things, having pondered my options on likely merchandise for my venture. The problem is that I am extremely technologically ignorant and inexperienced. Chatting on here is the most advanced thing I've done on computer, other than publish a newsletter for my organization. I haven't even tried to post a picture on here yet, because I don't always follow the jargon in the explanations given.
Anyway, I have a question that perhaps you all will help me with:
What materials or instruction would be helpful for someone like me to be able to launch an eBay enterprise? What do I need to learn to post auctions, and how may I best learn it?
I have two different product lines in mind.
One might be the outgrowth of the things I already collect, which are already represented on eBay. I would simply try to pull my pleasures together with a twist and some cross-selling.
My other avenue might involve producing information products from seminars and lessons I already give and articles I already write (or have written). That would get a bit more technical, but not impossibly so, I expect. The plus is that I would own the material, and not have to scout around the countryside for it. The downside is that I do not know how much of a market exists for something like this on eBay, since I haven't seen much of it so far. (I do have other ideas for marketing, though, through my network of other resources with my organization.)
Any suggestions for resources others have found helpful? I am a rank amateur, so haven't got a clue. Any information would be most appreciated!
