Auction Informer

When you get started on eBay with the decision to build a business, and not just sell your old stuff you have two choices available for you.

You can either sell products that you buy or you can create products that you buy.

Let me clarify that.  Most eBay sellers sell products that they buy.  They buy either from the manufacturers themselves, from distributors, through drop shippers, and other sources.  Every eBay seller wants to buy cheap and sell expensive, getting a high margin, meaning bigger profits.  But every eBay seller also wants to sell as much merchandise as possible, to make as much money as possible.  That is why eBay has really gotten a cutthroat business and many market niches.  Many of the successful eBay power seller’s that you see on eBay who have sold tens of thousands of it comes are not really that successful.  They are just extremely busy.  Because they sell with so low profit margins that they truly have to sell thousands of items just to make a living.

Now I told you there are two options.  The second option is to create your own product.  And by that I don’t mean that you sell homemade apple pies, or scrapbooks.  I am talking about the most profitable product of a 21st century.  Information.

Yes, you read that right.  Information is the most profitable product in today’s world.  That is why Google is such a big corporation.  And Google became this multibillion dollar almighty corporate giant in just 10 years.  Why?  Because they organize the world’s information better than anybody else.

I’m sure you heard about the fact that we are living in an information age.  And that’s true.

Now why are information products so profitable? they are so extremely profitable because once you have created them and they cost very, very little to duplicate and distribute.

Let’s look for example at another best seller of recent times.  The iPhone.  Now Apple made a lot of money from that phone.  But it also costs them a lot of money to create one.  To manufacture an iPhone is not a cheap deal, even for Apple.

But with information products — books, home study courses, membership sites, tutorial DVDs, audio CDs — the costs to create another one on very low, once the original has been created.  You can duplicate the DVD for a couple of cents and yet sell it for 20, 30, 40, 50 and even more dollars.

That means information products have almost a 100% profit margin.  Take away shipping, fulfillment, payment processing and you are still normally talking more than 90% profit margin.

And if you know the right methods to do it, creating an information product is not that difficult.

So, in my opinion, settling in formation is a much better choice for you if you want to make a living online, then selling physical products.  But I do leave the choice totally up to you.

In fact, I encourage you to visit  to inform yourself further and make a decision that is most suitable for your circumstances.
