Most important thing to remember: Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tougher, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees. And you will find that many sellers are not making it well on ebay \n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

first of all, i am not involved in a multi-level business or pyramid but have seen enough to know what is going on.\n1.full commitment, you get out of it what you put in\n2.initially lots of time invested to build your client base. you will need to start by inviting relatives, friends, coworkers, too try your product or service.  once your base is developed, those people will refer their family, friends, coworkers to you.  Depending on what it is your selling or how well the company works with you could determine how much you will have to initially invest to either build inventory or do schooling and testing for licensing.\n3.to be successful with any objective, you need to devote your time to it.  i took the route of getting an education so that i could find a secure job with benefits.  it also depends on your situation.  are you married or do you have kids.  are you looking towards their best interests.  if you are not a people person, then multi-level selling is not for you.\n4. hope this helps.

First of all, learn to use your spell checker.\n\n1.  Find a product that you want to sell.\n\n2.  Think of its properties (smells good, tastes good, looks good, etc.)\n\n3.  Think of your target audience (your classmates, your teacher, your parents, etc.)\n\n4.  Think of some commercials that you like and adapt them to your own.\n\n5.  Ask your teacher for some help.

I've been looking at the various websites for PAS, and I looked at the video.  It looks like the only way to get in "good" is to go in at the highest (and most expensive) level.  $3895 is a bit steep for most people, but it gives you the most profit per sale.\nI did find some info warning about this program.  It said only 1 in 5 people are successful.  The rest cannot even get their initial investment returned.  \nSorry I can't tell you more as I have not tried this system.  If you do decide, let me know how well it works for you.

I do three different things to make money.  One is on mylot.com  you can do what you are doing here and get paid for it.  Just post questions and answer questions.  It's a nickel and dime thing but it does pay and I do it just to fill in some extra time.  The second is I am an ebay seller.  I sell old stuff that I had around the house, I make lap quilts and sold those or I will even by something really cheap on sale in a store and list it on ebay and make a profit on it.  The third business I have is with Stayin Home and Lovin It!  they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and a member of the Better Business Buerau.  I do the advertising for the company to sign up people to shop directly with the company.  I enroll them to just shop or to even start their own home business by doing the same.  The response I have gotton has been amazing.  It is no risk and you don't have to do deliveries or taking orders, just bring them to the company and if they want to also work at home with the company you will help them get started.  I have had such great support and training and with really nice people.  There is no risk in trying to see if it is for you.  If you are interested go to http://healthybetterme.com/  and request more information from there.  \n\nA great sourse to look up all companies is at http://search.bbb.org/    there you can search by name, address, or url.  It really saved me form being scamed and if they don't show up on there I wouldn't trust it.  A lot of work at home promises are scams so becareful.

well - if you want to do this, you should know what you need... going into something that you know nothing about is a "VERY" risky venture .  try asking local taylors what they use, then scale it up a bit.  start small - but remember selling to europe & the states you'll have problems with quality demanded & competition from  the far east..  think hard before you do this.

Is this your first time starting a venture in this industry? Have you worked at a club before?  If you have no experience you should first start working in the industry.  Now, if you feel you just have to start the club right away, here's the plan.  Numero uno, you know this already - business plan, yup.  This is what you'll need to map your business strategy.  Numero dos, and this is the important one, if you've never run a club or any business before you'll need to learn quickly, and as painlessly as possible.  My advice, start by contracting your DJ, light and sound equip, and advertiser.  Then find a hotel, motel, or holiday inn, or a warehouse (that's right, a warehouse) find the most accommodating venue to fit your needs, then start the work.  $$$ You'll need about $5k to run a good party.  Sound like a lot, just wait till stuff goes wrong.  Start small, you may be able to get a DJ who has all the equipment you need to throw a gig.  Now it's time to negotiate.  "Getting to yes" by Roger Fisher and William Ury.  You have to negotiate in an industry like this.  This book will be a starting point.  Now it's up to you to fill in the blanks.  If you're successful and feel like the party industry is for you, then follow through.  If you're found in the corner crying your eyes out and calling for your mama, then apply for a liquor license and try again.

You make as good of money as the amount of houses you sell and the commissions you get.  It's all up to the salesperson.\n\nI do believe you get started by taking the classses and getting your license.

MLM's are a ripoff. I have looked into the Nu Skin  when it was new. All the BS promises, we will help, we Will get you leads,when you get to this level you wil have all this income. Well I did not buy into it and for good reason. My friend did and he got The shaft. They only ones who really make the bucks are the ones that start the business. Why you ask, did they try to sell you any product? No but they sold you a starter sales kit to sell the product...see what I mean. You may be able to sue but you have to prove that they lied and made it sound like you only had to sign other people up and not sell the product. And that will be hard to do because most MLM's get busted in a year or less.\nSo next time take a recorder with you and record the whole thing and get any guarantees in writing.

This is a good question! Of course you can lose money when ever you go into business for yourself. But let me just tell you my experience since becoming a rep last summer. \n\nI just want to sell makeup on my website, which I list below, but whenever anyone found out I sold Avon, they always said "I love Avon!" or "I buy a lot of Avon stuff, I just never had a rep until you moved here"  So to make a long story short, I am now selling at a 50% profit. \n\nThere are a lot of ways to lose money in sales. I have heard about a lot of ladies losing money because people order but don't pay. Avon doesn't make you pay upfront but my rule of thumb is to only order something IF the customer pays upfront. I have been very polite to my customers when I tell them I only accept cash before I order and they always pay. This way, you are not stuck with a lot of stuff~! Also, you need to refrain from buying a lot of stuff yourself when they have sales, in hopes of selling it, later. You will have the opportunity to buy at discount prices once you KNOW what your customers want. For instance, I have a lot of customers who buy Imari for themselves and friends, so I bought  a bunch wholesale. But this is the only product I buy in bulk.\n\nAs for bags, cheap. samples are inexpensive unless you give them to everyone in the world. Until you start making money, you can get free samples with the new products, like fragrances. I like to buy lots of foundation (makeup) samples, cuz that is the only way to KNOW if it will match. I only give them to ladies who are looking for foundation.\n\nCatalogues: you can buy just a few at first then as your customer base grows, you can buy more.  Shipping is free once every 2 weeks. \n\nAvon is generous with their profit margins. Your first 4 campaigns will reap you a 50% profit, so you might want to get your list made up in advance, especially now that Christmas is almost here!  You might try an open house type party with a bunch of brochures and take orders for Christmas!\n\nI think it is only 20 dollars to sign up. If you are interested and need someone to help you get going...I would be happy to show you the ropes, of course it would have to be online only, since I live in the Southwest.\n\nGood luck in your search for a new 'career'.\nGinny

Honestly, I would stay away from the the “wholesaler’s” game. What once was a great idea has now spread so everyone and their mother is doing it. Margins are razor thin at best and I suspect non-existent when you factor in most drop shippers or wholesale clubs "Membership fees" along with eBay and PayPal's cut.\n\nTake something that you're knowledgeable about and wait for a bargain. For example, lets say you know a lot about purses and one weekend you stumble across a shop having a clearance sale - $200 purses for $30 bucks (or whatever). Take it home and list it for $75. Your customer thinks they saved $125 bucks and you made $45. Now multiply it by 100 sales and you are in business. I do about $2K a month in sales and I profit about $500 and that’s from just working part time. It's not "easy money", you do have to work at it, but if you're willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

i sell avon which is a similar sceme, i find it hard work at first, as you have to post to every house but once you know which houses order you have your customers. i only post to my known customers throughout the year and all houses again near xmas. its fairly reasonable for a bit of extra cash throughout the year for the hour you put in, definatly worth it at xmas time as orders are up. but all depend on how many customers you have who regulary order. i couldn't make a full time living out of it unless i became a sales leader (further up the lader) recruiting others. i only do it for a bit of holiday spends of xmas. i've been selling for 2 years now so cant be that bad. take a look at avon.uk.com. you might prefer that as there is no outlay (unlike kleeneze) and as long as you want to climb the ladder you can live of it. good luck\n\n\ni also make a small amount on

I sell alot on ebay. I've found that to be successful, you must have good photos, good descriptions, a good product, and good service. Even if it means you have to put out a little money up front before you start to make money. Also make sure  to use as many describing  or cross referencing words in the title as possible.
