Getting Started in eCommerce

To get started with my business, I’m going through this training program from Power Seller College (PSC). I’ve been going through the topical lessons since the first week of January. I have to admit, I’ve learned tons of information a lot of which is repeated. I do believe the “repetition is the mother of invention” as Tony Robbins says. However, some of these lessons are painstakingly repetitive. But finally, yesterday…a somewhat unique topic.

As a business that will sell on eBay as well as my own web sites, one of the keys to being successful is finding the products… aka product sourcing. There are lots of options. Yesterday’s lessons were about sourcing from China. I believe this is a great idea… after I’ve established a somewhat successful business selling on-line. Unless you have capital and storage space set aside, don’t start with sourcing from China. I will be utilizing drop-shipping services located here in the US. Yes, this drastically cuts down on my profit margin. So, my goal will be to sell, sell, and sell some more. I need to increase my sales volume.

Today, I talk with my coach/instructor from PSC. He’s a great guy that has Powerseller status with eBay and worked for eBay before becoming an instructor for PSC. This is our last formal phone call, but for as long as I remain with PSC, I can call/email him anytime with questions. I am sure I will have plenty.

Well, that’s all for now. Make it a great day!
