| 00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | risk and take action guys anyways this |

| 00:02:02 | 00:02:07 | proof it's actually get into how you can |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:10 | make seventy thousand dollars in beyond |
| 00:02:07 | 00:02:12 | at any age selling on eBay so I'm gonna |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:13 | go through them and kind of break down a |
| 00:02:12 | 00:02:15 | few different business |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:18 | that you can pursue to make money on |
| 00:02:15 | 00:02:20 | eBay and the first business model I'll |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | be going over isn't so much a model but |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:24 | of way of selling and you be basically |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:27 | reselling just like random items in |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:30 | general for instance this Australian |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | kookaburra coin I think that's I wonder |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:33 | if I pronounced it or I'm not sure but |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | this is the first item that I'd ever |
| 00:02:33 | 00:02:38 | sold on eBay now it's a funny story |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:41 | because this is an item that I was |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:44 | gifted from a relative and they ended up |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:46 | selling it at the age of 13 for my first |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:48 | sell ever now I have two siblings as |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:51 | well and that ended up actually going |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:53 | and stealing their coin without them |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:55 | knowing and selling it on eBay and so |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:59 | before I knew it like I already made |
| 00:02:55 | 00:03:02 | like 75 like $90 just selling this coin |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:04 | on eBay I mean at the age of 13 that's |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:06 | insane money I mean it's in my PayPal |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:08 | card didn't know how I could get that in |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:10 | my hands but I just knew that I've made |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:12 | that money and I got to go to the post |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:15 | office and ship and everything was just |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:17 | a really cool experience now some of the |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:20 | items I ended up selling throughout my |
| 00:03:17 | 00:03:23 | career were clothing for instance like |
| 00:03:20 | 00:03:26 | Ralph Lauren just bunch of different |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:28 | brands like this all depends like the |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:32 | size of something I once sold like a |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:34 | three XL t-shirt long sleeved I think |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | was a long sleeve three XL sold it for |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:39 | like fifty bucks it all depends on the |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:41 | the size the condition of it but I mean |
| 00:03:39 | 00:03:43 | I just my listings literally looks like |
| 00:03:41 | 00:03:46 | let me try to find the example look like |
| 00:03:43 | 00:03:48 | this I didn't really have like the the |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:50 | mannequin or whatever behind it but I |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | got high like this I could just had it |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:53 | on a hanger hanging up I took nicer |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:56 | pictures in this but that's kind of what |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:58 | it looked like and so once I just sold |
| 00:03:56 | 00:04:00 | random odds like the coins clothing I |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:02 | was used to sell baseballs as well I had |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:06 | a baseball practike field next to me and |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:08 | behind that field and like behind the |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | practike field there were like lost |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:11 | baseballs everyone so I go to pick him |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:13 | up and I create a listing on eBay and |
| 00:04:11 | 00:04:15 | I'd make some really good money from so |
| 00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | it just goes to show that if you just |
| 00:04:15 | 00:04:18 | use your mind go out there and find |
| 00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | those times of resale and this is |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:22 | probably one of the easiest business |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | models to start because it has a low low |
| 00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | upfront cost not to invest a ton of |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:27 | money upfront for like one prodigious go |
| 00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | find these product |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:32 | around your house garage sales thrift |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:34 | stores and resell them on eBay the next |
| 00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | business model is what's known as drop |
| 00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | shipping to where you sell a product on |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:41 | a website and once it sells you're then |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:43 | gonna go to another website purchase |
| 00:04:41 | 00:04:45 | that product from that website and have |
| 00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | that website seller send it to the |
| 00:04:45 | 00:04:49 | customer who would purchased your |
| 00:04:47 | 00:04:52 | original listing so for example you can |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:54 | drop ship from Amazon or Aliexpress and |
| 00:04:52 | 00:04:56 | some other websites as well but Amazon |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | and Aliexpress are probably the two most |
| 00:04:56 | 00:05:01 | popular some are so one quick example |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:03 | from each so for instance this weight |
| 00:05:01 | 00:05:05 | set on eBay |
| 00:05:03 | 00:05:07 | you can see the same pictures the same |
| 00:05:05 | 00:05:10 | listing is selling anywhere from us |
| 00:05:07 | 00:05:15 | think the mid-50s and they were up to |
| 00:05:10 | 00:05:16 | mid 70 or 75 s around that range okay |
| 00:05:15 | 00:05:20 | now for instance let's just say this |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:22 | product sells for 72 dollars on ebay |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:25 | that eBay seller isn't gonna come to |
| 00:05:22 | 00:05:27 | Amazon and purchase that exact product |
| 00:05:25 | 00:05:31 | for a lower price forty seven dollars |
| 00:05:27 | 00:05:33 | and sixty six cents the eBay seller is |
| 00:05:31 | 00:05:37 | then gonna have the Amazon seller ship |
| 00:05:33 | 00:05:38 | the product to the eBay customer cutting |
| 00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | out all the holding of physical |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:43 | inventory that's why this model is super |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | popular so if you get ten sales you're |
| 00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | just going to go to Amazon order this |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:48 | product ten different times and have |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:49 | each of those products shipped to that |
| 00:05:48 | 00:05:52 | eBay customer so it's a really |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:55 | convenient in really efficient model now |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:57 | to the example where we use Aliexpress |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:59 | as our drop shipping service so once |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:01 | again you're gonna then sell that item |
| 00:05:59 | 00:06:03 | on eBay for instance I just use these |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:05 | wax beads at Prague that actually sold |
| 00:06:03 | 00:06:07 | in the past and you can see there's |
| 00:06:05 | 00:06:10 | different price ranges depending on the |
| 00:06:07 | 00:06:13 | weight and size of the different wax |
| 00:06:10 | 00:06:15 | beans and you can see they're selling |
| 00:06:13 | 00:06:16 | for some pretty low prices on Aliexpress |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:18 | now for those of you that don't really |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:22 | know what Aliexpress is it's basically |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:23 | China's eBay as a simplified form to |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:25 | where you can actually purchase these |
| 00:06:23 | 00:06:28 | products every time this song eBay so |
| 00:06:25 | 00:06:29 | when compared to Amazon if you have a |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:31 | prime account you can get two days |
| 00:06:29 | 00:06:33 | shipping to your customer you're just |
| 00:06:31 | 00:06:36 | shipping the product as a gift when it |
| 00:06:33 | 00:06:37 | comes to ordering off Aliexpress you're |
| 00:06:36 | 00:06:39 | gonna be able to get a lot better |
| 00:06:37 | 00:06:41 | pricing cheaper pricing when it comes to |
| 00:06:39 | 00:06:42 | purchasing the product but |
| 00:06:41 | 00:06:45 | shipping from shine and shipping from |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:47 | overseas and it's gonna take a week two |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | weeks 13 14 days for that product to |
| 00:06:47 | 00:06:51 | arrive at your customers doorstep so |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:55 | sometimes some customers don't mind some |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:57 | do and all depends but you can see |
| 00:06:55 | 00:07:02 | there's this out - pretty sure this is |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:05 | the 100 100 gram weight based product |
| 00:07:02 | 00:07:09 | for 1295 you can find this exact one for |
| 00:07:05 | 00:07:10 | a dollar fifty three free shipping $2 24 |
| 00:07:09 | 00:07:12 | cents free shipping you can look at the |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | amount of orders on this product you can |
| 00:07:12 | 00:07:16 | sort it by order as popularity |
| 00:07:14 | 00:07:18 | accelerating all those things and so |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:18 | once again once you sell that product on |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:20 | eBay |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:22 | you're gonna go to Aliexpress and you're |
| 00:07:20 | 00:07:25 | gonna purchase that identikal product |
| 00:07:22 | 00:07:28 | and have the Aliexpress seller drop ship |
| 00:07:25 | 00:07:30 | it directly to your ebay customer the |
| 00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | final business model that I will be |
| 00:07:30 | 00:07:35 | going over is wholesale a wholesale is |
| 00:07:32 | 00:07:37 | not really for the rookie new online |
| 00:07:35 | 00:07:39 | e-commerce seller okay it's gonna take a |
| 00:07:37 | 00:07:42 | little bit more of an upfront cost to |
| 00:07:39 | 00:07:45 | sell one individual product for example |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:48 | this emergency power USB Hand Crank okay |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:51 | it's either selling for on $8.99 they've |
| 00:07:48 | 00:07:53 | sold 824 of them youcome Alibaba which |
| 00:07:51 | 00:07:56 | is basically the most popular worldwide |
| 00:07:53 | 00:07:58 | online training website you're gonna be |
| 00:07:56 | 00:08:00 | able to purchase this product in bulk |
| 00:07:58 | 00:08:02 | from supplies so you can see the |
| 00:08:00 | 00:08:05 | supplier is selling the exact same |
| 00:08:02 | 00:08:08 | product for a dollar to two dollars and |
| 00:08:05 | 00:08:11 | 50 cents with a minimum quantity of 20 |
| 00:08:08 | 00:08:13 | pieces now this is the model that I use |
| 00:08:11 | 00:08:14 | personally to make the majority of my |
| 00:08:13 | 00:08:16 | money all this I was in the Sun this |
| 00:08:14 | 00:08:18 | product I was selling a few different |
| 00:08:16 | 00:08:21 | products that I was ordering in bulk and |
| 00:08:18 | 00:08:23 | so I'd get it a really large discount |
| 00:08:21 | 00:08:24 | window ordering in bulk and I was able |
| 00:08:23 | 00:08:27 | to sell it for a higher price on eBay |
| 00:08:24 | 00:08:29 | and make some pretty nice money off that |
| 00:08:27 | 00:08:33 | product so basically you can negotiate |
| 00:08:29 | 00:08:35 | with the supplier maybe you have 100 200 |
| 00:08:33 | 00:08:37 | $300 you're able to spend on this |
| 00:08:35 | 00:08:38 | product so instead of a 20 piece order |
| 00:08:37 | 00:08:40 | maybe you want to make a hundred piece |
| 00:08:38 | 00:08:42 | order and you able to get that price |
| 00:08:40 | 00:08:44 | from two dollars and 50 cents per unit |
| 00:08:42 | 00:08:47 | down to $1.00 per unit so then you buy |
| 00:08:44 | 00:08:48 | it for a dollar maybe it cost 25 50 |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:51 | Cent's let's just say 50 cents to ship |
| 00:08:48 | 00:08:53 | it to your house your buy cost is gonna |
| 00:08:51 | 00:08:55 | be a dollar fifty per piece you're gonna |
| 00:08:53 | 00:08:57 | be selling for 894 |
| 00:08:55 | 00:08:59 | basically nine dollars leaving you a |
| 00:08:57 | 00:09:01 | nice-sized profit okay now that's kind |
| 00:08:59 | 00:09:03 | of the concept of wholesale obviously |
| 00:09:01 | 00:09:05 | you can wholesale some higher priced |
| 00:09:03 | 00:09:07 | items that are selling for twenty to |
| 00:09:05 | 00:09:09 | thirty or maybe lower price items that |
| 00:09:07 | 00:09:11 | sell in larger quantities is all up to |
