Hello,

This is my first blog and I'm excited to share a little of what I have learned selling stuff online over the past six years.  I no longer sell but for anyone looking to make some extra money I would strongly suggest getting started.  I'm sure many people think selling stuff means having to buy items to sell, hold inventory, make the sale, package up the item and ship.  However, over my many years of selling I never actually had to hold any inventory and I never had to package the items or go to the post office and ship. 

Its called Dropshipping! 

Its really simple, you find a company willing to sell you products and ship the items directly to your customers after you sell the item.  It works like this - you find a dropshipping company that offers many products that you can sell on Amazon or Ebay and once you sell the item, you order it from the dropshipping company and they ship the item directly to your customer!  You normally pay a small fee for the service ($1-$3) plus shipping but you save a lot of time because you don't have to handle any of the product.  You set your price so you make a profit after the cost of the item, dropshipping fee and shipping.  It only takes a few minutes to order the product online and the droppshipping company does the rest.  There's a lot more that goes into it (emailing the customer with tracking info, asking for positive feedback, handling returns and complaints) but today I'm just giving you a brief description of how it works.  Its pretty easy to make an extra $1,000 a month if you select the right products to sell and use the right dropshipping company.  Here's a few companies I have used.
