I’ve been selling on Ebay for about 3 years now and last year broadened my online presence to include Amazon. It was a great move for me. Ebay is a wonderful sales venue and I continue to build my store there while I look for additional opportunities.
Amazon is ideal for a seller of easily restockable items – you set your listing up once and just add quantity. I love having a site that requires little maintenance. There is a definite learning curve with Amazon as with any new venture – but patience and persistence pays off. During the fall and holiday season, you’ll find sales will absolutely take off – particularly if you’ve worked on filling your site with quality items throughout the year.
If you’d like to learn more about the “ins and outs” of becoming an Amazon seller, negotiating their rules and operating within the system, check out my (Alice Rudolph) podcast at OSI Rock Stars, with Janelle Elms. If you’re not yet a member of OSI Rock Stars, you’ll find a site here that’s filled with useful information to create the business you’ve always dreamed of.

Alice,
Thanks for reminding us that we can’t keep all of our eGgs in one basket. I’ll check out selling on the river. But first, I’ll listen to your podcast!
