Becoming an auctioneer on the Internet is an excellent idea. This has become great business for many entrepreneurs who prefer to work less time. At the same time, making more money.
It's not hard to get this off the ground. You will be your own boss and have no employees. This truly could become your passport to wealth.
The requirements for this kind of business are extremely simple. You need to have a computer with an internet connection. You also need to start up an independent account on one of the popular auction sites online.
The most known auction site is, of course, eBay. They are a very reliable, trusted name. They monitor all transactions, providing support if there are problems.
You can start slowly and see how things work. After gaining some experience you start to trust the process. The auction site will rate you for reliability. Having good reliability gets buyers to trust you.
Once you see what the business is like, you can start going some profits. You need to learn what things sell well in the online auction rooms. Then you need to buy these as cheaply as you can, and then auction them off. If you've judged correctly, you will make some nice profits.
You can also follow different strategies while operating your home business. In order to achieve substantial success, search for the products that have a comparatively high demand, and a low supply. These should go for nice prices.
Selling good quality products is the best way to go. Always deliver promptly. This builds your reputation and will get you more buyers.
The keys to success are pretty simple. Find products that have a nice profit margin. Keep a top rate record for delivering the goods.
And, last but not least, a quality advertisement page. This should include a good description, and nice photos of the product. Making a high level ad will give consumers even more confidence to buy from you.
Selling Soul To Devil
1. Tell stories with emotional zing.
The most poignant stories come from people with broken hearts. Those who haven't suffered can be entertaining and witty, but often even the funniest stuff comes from pain. You can create drama with quiet intensity by downplaying the emotion versus hyping it up.
Michael Meade told this story to his audience at the *A Poetics of Peace* evening in San Francisco and it left us silenced. I'm paraphrasing it to the best of my memory:
*I went back East to confront my mother. I got up my nerve and planned to tell her about the mistakes she made raising me. About how she had done wrong by me. In the middle of the conversation she said to me. 'What makes you think you were wanted?'
I felt my knees buckling. Somehow, I always knew this, but it was never spoken. It was a kind of relief to finally hear it.*
2. Don't puff up, calm down.
A well known movie director, who shall go nameless said, *I may not be right. I may not know what I'm talking about. But if I say something loud enough, with enough passion and conviction enough times, people believe me.*
I don't deny that loud gets credit in our culture. Coupled with passion and conviction it's pretty potent. But there is another way. I call it quiet dignity. Speak more softly so people have to lean in to hear you. Pause and wait for interest in the middle of a sentence that you know people will want you to finish. Say something starkly. Strip it down to its essence. Make yourself like a tree that's lost all it's leaves preparing for winter.
3. Be bold.
*The meek will inherit the earth, but they won't get stock options.* I don't know who said it, but it's true. Be humble, but for God's sake speak up. Especially for the important things (stock options aside). You've just got to get over yourself.
Make a pact with yourself that if you think it, you'll do it. Start small. For example, when I saw a man hitting his dog with unabashed fury, the dog cowering and yelping, I said, *Please don't.* The man was startled, but he stopped.
Think of it this way. Do you want to live a life of regrets or do you want to say, *I did it all in the little time I had?*
I have fears about almost everything. If I'm driving in Big Sur, I'm sure one of those boulders will come loose and crush me flat in my car. But I won't die instantly, I'll suffer for a long time and then, just when I've made peace with dying someone will rescue my crumpled self. Stuff like that.
I could fill a book with my heinous scenarios, both professional and personal, but I look for the antidote to my overly active imagination. Mark Twain noted, *My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened.* Mine, too. What about yours?
