Getting Better Accidently
Our sales are up, but are we getting better accidently? Yesterday I sold one item for $300 that I had listed for $20 on Ebay. I hoped for more than $20, but did not expect over $100. Mind you, I am not complaining.
Maybe this is just the law of averages working in my favor. If you throw enough mud at a wall some is bound to stick. Or, if you put up enough auctions some are bound to do well. Maybe it is not an accident, but merely working, working working and having the payoff. Lots of our auctions end with no sale.
I guess a with many things it is simply a numbers game. If you put in enough effort you will eventually start getting a better and better return.
When I write all of this, I hope you are thinking of it relationship to what you might be able to do. I talk about ME, but this is really about YOU and what you might be able to do. I hope to give you a little inspiration by telling you what I am doing and you can see that making money online may not be simple, but you can do it.
HEY! I just paid my business rent on the 6th, it is due on the 7th. We have been working hard enough that I could pay it again today if I had to. This is the magic of internet marketing and selling online. When push comes to shove, you can increase you income with some hard work and consistent effort.
My effort has not been as consistent as it should be. I still get bogged down, slowed down and unproductive. Imagine where one could go it the worked all the time they were at work (for themselves).
