My Small Home Business Opportunity

My small home business opportunity in ebay started quite by accident.It so happened that my nephew was interested in starting an ebay business.

was only 17 at the time and didn't know much about ebay so brought an e-book that claimed it would show him how to start making a considerable amount of income through trading on ebay.

Anyway after he'd finished reading the book he gave me the opportunity to browse through it, admittedly the book did have a few interesting points going for it but nothing to warrant the high price of £50 pounds - nevertheless it really got me thinking?

What Could I Sell On Ebay?

At the time I was working in my current business mobile catering but during the quiet periods I found myself browsing through the book again.It really got me thinking and I started to ask myself, is it possible for me to use ebay to start a new small home business opportunity?Something that wouldn't be as time consuming as my current business, but that could co-exist alongside my existing business without requiring to much time and effort.

Which products To Sell on Ebay

What could be sold on ebay to kick start my new small home business opportunity? I started by making a list of products that were already being used by me in my current business.This was to be the main focus of my list as these products could easily be sourced from the different wholesalers which were already being used for my current business.

After my list was done I asked myself the following few questions

What products would interest people enough for them to want to buy.
Something disposable that would produce repeat sales
Nothing heavy or bulky the lighter the better to save on p&p post and packaging
A product that for me personally had a dual use, so if it didn't sell I would use it in my business

My New "Small Home Business Opportunity"It Was Obvious.

Can you do the same to get started on ebay by selling a product or service that you already have access to? This will help narrow down WHAT YOU CAN SELL and keep your financial risk to a minimum

Would This Small Home Business Opportunity Work?

For me personally this was a reasonable risk to take even though I had no real idea if selling these catering related products would be successful or not.In the back of my mind I started thinking "was this a waste of time" but knew I had to find out .

What Prices To Charge

I wasn't sure of what prices to charge to begin with but after researching similar items on ebay including postage and packing things became much clearer.After this was done I used my digital camera to take a couple of pictures of my products (including different angles) and wrote a informative description. Trying to answer all possible questions in my description which someone may want to know about the product, when this part was completed my items finally went live on ebay.

This was the beginning of my small home business opportunity with ebay.Do you all want to know how it went and what happened next. Was It a successful go through to the next page and find out .
