An eBay Home Business = Piece Of Cake?

“How hard is it to start an Ebay home business” is a question I am asked constantly. It’s a legitimate question, but the folks I object to are the ‘whiners’. You can see them everywhere – especially in discussion boards. They complain about how hard it is and how unfair things are and how they’ve been disappointed by gurus everywhere and all they want is a “real” business opportunity.

Well, I’ve got news for those folks – there are REAL opportunities everywhere. In fact, many people on the Net will agree with me that the real problem is in choosing which opportunity to accept. So many choices, so little time.

An email from a new Auction Genius student may help us Net marketers to put things in perspective. He writes that he sold his companies and retired in 1991:

At that time companies I owned employed over 3,000 people scattered throughout the English speaking world. The accompanying baggage included potential:

1. Personnel problems
2. Governmental regulatory problems
3. Vendor/supplier problems
4. IRS problems
5. $1,600,000 monthly insurance premiums
6. Customer relation problems
7. Logistical problems
8. Increasingly unrealistic deadlines
9. Equipment problems
10. Land and facility construction and acquisition (and accompanying local statute) problems…………..

The list goes on and on.

Doesn’t that list make Internet success look a lot (a whole lot!) easier?
