Finding legit home based jobs actually is not all that hard. There are lots of ways to earn a living from home based businesses, but some are better than others. One of the best internet home businesses to start profiting with is selling on eBay. Compared to other home based business opportunities, eBay offers a faster income stream.
One of the major reasons for this is that building a website is not a requirement for making money here. All that is required really is for you to put up your goods on auction and the traffic is taken care of by eBay. Choosing the right product is very important as this has the ability to make or break your efforts. You need to take time to research your products thoroughly before making your choice. This is where most aspiring sellers fail.
It is not a good idea to choose the best selling products on eBay to market. Examples of these include jewellery and electronics. The reason for this is the amount of competition in best selling niches is too much to make it worthwhile. Having some competition is healthy but too much of it is certainly not good for our profit margins and profit potentials.
Instead, look for products in smaller niches with less competition. One way of choosing the a great product is to get as many wholesale product catalogues as you can, and refer to them as you carry out your research. There are two reasons for this - first you get an idea of the vast product range that exists. The companies would not be selling them either if they felt they had no potential.
Also, you will get an idea of the profit potentials of your chosen product which will help you in your sales projections. If you did not know how much you would have to pay for it, it would be pointless to see what it is selling for. While referring to your catalogues, select your product of interest and start your research.
As an example, choose your product - a $5 baseball bat from the catalogues and check the most recent selling prices on eBay (say is sold for $7.50). However, only 50% of the auctions sold, which means you can plan to sell one for every two auctions you put up.
So you can estimate that it will take up to 100 auctions to sell your baseball bats, when you start out purchasing 50 baseball bats. You can project what to expect as your profit margin, since you will have a profit of $2.50 per item sold so selling all 50 will yield a total profit of $125.00. From your total profit, take away the cost of putting up 100 auctions and divide the answer you get by the number of days it takes to sell all 50 bats. This gives you your daily income from selling baseball bats. This might seem complex, but the more you do it the easier it will become.
eBay is really a legit home based job opportunity you can get involved in. You have to commit both effort and time to this for results to become apparent. Like other serious home based businesses, eBay selling can give you passive income for years to come as long as you are dedicated.
