I can't tell you what to do but I can tell you what I do.
I currently have 2 successful accounts and yesterday I registered a third.
I shall be listing 8 items, all on 7 day auction and all starting at 0.99p. All very non-descript. I expect at least 4 to sell.
Next week I shall list 10 items
After that we will see how we go.
Look upon it like growing tomatoes - you plant the seed and the plant starts growing. You feed it and it grows some more. Very soon it starts flowering and before you know it you will start producing fruit. You wait for the fruit to ripen and then you harvest it.
You don't plant the seed one day and get fruit the next - it needs caring and nurturing and if you do it right it will last you years - or it could die after one season.
Slowly and surely
As for what to sell you will have to do your own research on that. It depends if you are prepared to buy stock, if you are trading as a business or as private account. Personally I find it easier to start straight off as a business account. I established my second account by three months of trading something so ridiculous you would laugh - it took between £30 and £100 per week for 3 months. It now takes £800 - £1,200 per week. The point I am making is that the game here is not about quick fixes. It's about getting trading again and nurturing what you are building. It's about learning from what went wrong first time around.
You must never forget that no matter what you do, no matter how well you conduct your business, 'the man' can shut you down at a moments notice.
I have seen many people come on here saying how they have lost one account after the other. They haven't listened to what they have been told and then seem aggrieved that their plan didn't work.
There is a wise saying - if you do what you have always done don't be surprised when what happens is what always happens.
Best of luck |
