Still Having Trouble Deciding What To Sell
We are late today because our blog host, Blogger.com was having problems
Everyday I go out into our warehouse of old and obsolete equipment trying to figure our what to sell next. I am still having trouble deciding what to sell next. We have many items that are worth over $50 each, but it is finding them and actually figuring out that they have value.
Like I have said, listing a $50 or $10 item takes about the same amount of time. Sometimes the cheaper items take longer. Selling four $50 items means I get a fair days pay after expenses. Selling four $10 items means I have a long way to go to pay the bills. Selling on Ebay is a full day’s work.
I do not mind a full day’s work, but I would rather not have to work quite so hard to make a living. This is why my mind keeps going back to Internet Marketing. IM just makes sense. No heavy lifting. No dirty shirts. DIRTY SHIRTS? When you go through things that have been stored in a warehouse for quite a while, you get a lot of dusty dirt all over your clothes, hair and face, so yes, dirty shirts.
IM is a much cleaner and back saving way to make money. Ebay is fast money and pays our bills but I still am looking forward to the day I can build our “IM Empire” to the point it pays the bills on its own.
Another problem I am having is room to put items I pull. I really need to put up more shelves. I have shelves to install, it is just making room for them. I do not have the floor space to put up even one shelf without doing some major rearranging. I think that is a job I will have to do in the near future, rearrange for shelves.
