In the beginning of becoming stealth yes it was a hassle. But over time as I learned more it became more easy. Sure every day something new comes along and knowing that none of us know everything there is to know it becomes a challenge for me to learn as much as I can.
Two things came to mind when I read your thread headline.
Some people do not want to put out the effort to learn and become successful and some people will not stop until they achieve something.
Those who bail out just do not want to put our the work that is needed.
Many here like myself spend a ton of hours every single day online. With kids and a hubby to take care of I do my online stuff with my laptop during fixing supper, laundry, cleaning, etc. I am up early to go through my accounts before everyone else gets up. Many nights I am online until 2-3 am and get up at 5:30 to start the day.
Growing up in a business owned by parents who worked it 24-7 364 a year taught me that nothing will come to you if you do not put out the effort.
They grew into a very successful business through hard work and of course determination to succeed. Having a large group of kids will do that do you.
All of our paths are different, for me the hassle has paid off. Sure we all have the bad days but for me the countless hours of reading, posting, listing, picture taking, answering questions, packing had paid off.
Now I have several accounts that make far more money then anyone who goes to work for say Wal Mart. I know a Wal Mart stocker who works 35 hours and brings home 300 bucks a week. I make 300 a day sometimes on ebay on just one account. Many here make much more then that.
Ironic - I received a PM last night asking specific questions about how to do things. In most cases if the member is a standing member here with valued post and has given back to our community I will be the first to try and help. But this member wanted the answers without doing any leg work, without spending time on the board. 11 post in almost a year tells me they did not feel the hassle was worth it.
My goal is to develop a ton of accounts over time and be organized enough to run 8-10 accounts at a time and switch over to the next group the next week and so on.
But what I like the most other then the money is the fact that I can watch the emails of SOLD come in knowing that I just made a nice profit on an item that was easily found using my experiences in antiques and collectibles.
The success is very important to me, learning the new items and how to market them and be competitive is a challenge and a hassle but I love it.
I recently found a wholesaler who sells on DH Gate and AliExpress close to me. The products are items I was not that familiar with but the hassle and challenge is something I look forward to. I just was at the location on Thursday and purchased a nice van load of a variety of those items and so far have done a tremendous business with the products and I will need to head back within the next couple of days to purchase more of certain items that sold out for me in 3 days.
So yes, the hassle is well worth it.
1. Money
2. Becoming successful at something new and rewarding.
3. Beating pp and eb who has screwed me over more then once and about cost me my house for their wrongful ways.
4. Helping others who are willing to learn and give back. I might need their help someday.
5. Always willing an ready to find a new product and see how I can turn it over for a few bucks.
6. I love to win, I hate to lose and I will never stop trying.
I have some goals in mind.
To become as successful as some of the vets here and be able to grow into a massive home operated business. ( I used to think selling 30-40k in antiques a year part time was huge )
One of the products I found at the local wholesaler for less then 2.00 sells into the thousands of items per week ( over and over and over again according to Terapeak and watching them ) by a few large sellers who sell the items for around the 10-12 range. I started selling them for 8.99 and sold out of two cases in less then 2 days.
Turning a nice profit doing the BluntzCASH method of having a <13 oz product to just stick into a bubble mailer. :D
Learn about Amazon and start selling on it.
The hassle is well worth it and I encourage anyone who feels like they just dont get it or do not want to spend the countless hours of learning to stick with it. It will pay off if you spend the time and put out the effort.
Once you learn the ropes and are willing to keep learning the only hassle is how you are going to spend or save your money.
EFFORT is the key word here.
If the effort is a hassle then you need to mow lawns, wash windows or do something else.
Just my 0.99 cents worth!
Is it really worth the Hassle??
