In my last few posts, I have spent some time outlining how you can use eBay to start an online business and create some internet business income. Should you be interested in starting an online business on eBay, I would urge you to order a copy of eBay 101: Selling on eBay For Part-time or Full-time Income, Beginner to PowerSeller in 90 Days. When I started selling on eBay, I spent a great deal of time looking for a book that would offer a new eBay seller like me instructions on how to get started and also structure my eBay business, well…like a business! This book was exactly what I needed to help me get started. It starts you from the very basics of opening an eBay account and covers everything you need to know in great depth. I found that the section on finding inventory to be excellent, worth the price of the book itself! What I learned from the book help me avoid a number of common mistakes and make more money!
Today I would like to discuss a different internet income opportunity, and that is using eBay’s sister company, Half.com. Half.com is a auction site that allows you to buy and sell used books, CDs, DVDs and games and is yet another home based business income opportunity.
Using Half.com is super easy. You sign up for an account (you can use an eBay account if you have one) and list the items you wish to sell. In the case of books, this is really easy, as you simply input the ISBN number. You specify the condition of your book and how much you’d like to sell it for. Once you list the item is stays on the site until someone buys it. Half.com then send you an email with the shipping details and you ship the item! Apart from having to ship your items, selling on Half.com truly is a home based business income!
Half.com differs from eBay in a few important aspects. There are no listing fees to start with, you are simply charged a commission when your items sells. Half.com takes care of the payment issues for you and sends you a check every payment cycle for the items you have sold. You don’t have to worry about Paypal fees and internet business income appears in your bank account regularly!
Here’s a great tip to get some items to sell – why not put an ad in your local Craigslist offering to collect books that people no longer want?
I hope that you have found this internet income opportunity of some interest to you!
