Chapter 1: Climbing the money ladder
Go beyond PowerSeller to become a high-volume / high-margin seller and
learn about passive income opportunities.

By M.C. Nygard, Platinum PowerSeller

Before we begin, here are some
suggested readings to help you in
starting your eBay business so you can
climb the money ladder:

Your journey to PowerSeller success
begins with study. We suggest you
find a PowerSeller on eBay study their
habits, then model or "copy" their
successes. You should have no trouble
picking a PowerSeller that captures your
interest by just poking around.

We studied a PowerSeller who has a simple, but powerful formula for success and
here's what we learned from one platinum powerseller:
  • they offer hard-to-find sporting equipment (parts) at around 30-35% above
    wholesale, which offers a significant discount to their clients.
  • their clients are passionate about their sport, which sets the foundation for
    repeat business potential.
  • they've adopted a local professional team
  • they buy wholesale and can secure delivery quickly for their clients. This frees
    up their capital -- in short they can leverage a just-in-time inventory plan.
    (They can test new products by listing them and then buying them when they
    have a sale.)
  • they packed strong branding into their eBay store using yellow in all their
    pictures to make them stand out. It pays to get a little creative with a photo
    editing software like Photoshop. Their listings get more attention and more
    sales than their competitors!

What can you learn by studying a powerseller? Everything!

eBay Secret Tip: You must study a PowerSeller to become a Powerseller. Do what
they do and you'll pretty much be guaranteed success. Author and motivational
speaker Anthony Robbins calls this "modeling." We also suggest you read  THE
SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH by Wallace D. Wattles.

So get to know those who are PowerSellers. Even buy from them! You may get
wind of a new product idea, discover a trick about listing on eBay or uncover a
packing/shipping tip. Be creative to see how you can improve delivery, package
items better, or deliver a quality product. In a word: Spy on Powersellers. The
secret is simple: model a PowerSeller's success, and then be creative without
competing with them. Example: John Thornhill.
