There are many people who have lost valuable prized possessions that were stored in a self storage facility. When a client is unable to pay the monthly rent on their self storage unit, the self storage facility will generally take the items from the particular unit and put them up for auction. Sometimes these items are put up in lots and other times they are auctioned off piece by piece. These self storage auctions provide an amazing opportunity for profit to savvy entrepreneurs who know how to profit from such self storage auctions.

When a self storage unit renter fails to pay his rent for two or three months, he is considered in default. A renter who is in default is usually given legal notice that their property will be sold at some form of auction if they cannot catch up on his payments. Once this legal notice is given, the self storage facility becomes the owner of the renter’s belongings. The economy is in bad shape at this time and many people all over the country simply cannot afford their rent. This is due to the belt-tightening that must happen during any financial crisis. Rising food costs, utility costs, and gas prices are also expenses that are contributing to the higher levels of default and subsequent self storage auctions.

Once the content of a self storage unit is sold at auction, the highest bidder can do as they wish with the belongings that they’ve purchased. Most entrepreneurs will take these belongings that they have acquired at steep discounts and they will sell them at flea markets and online auctions such as eBay. Many of these same entrepreneurs will also resell these belongings for a nice profit to consignment shops and at rummage sales. There is obviously a high return on investment if you can get a good deal by purchasing belongings from a self storage auction in your area.

Expensive items are often the types of belongings that are placed in self storage units. Items such as antiques, furniture, and electronics can be found in self storage units and in subsequent self storage auctions when the owners to fall behind on their monthly rent. Oftentimes, these expensive items can be purchased for very little cost. Old jewelry, books, and furniture can usually be had for just pennies on the dollar and this provides a massive opportunity to profit from self storage auctions.

Self storage auctions are generally over quickly as they are open to the general public and advertised ahead of time. When the auction begins, the lock is cut off of the door. Bidders may arrive a bit early so they can view the items from the door. Then they place bids on what they can see but some items in a self storage unit may not be viewable so there is a bit of guessing involved. Most self storage auctions are over within 30 minutes and some people can walk away with a small fortune while spending just a few dollars, relatively speaking.

The best part of a self storage auction is the thrill of the hunt, so to speak. Just as people are excited when they find a treasure on an auction site such as eBay, savvy people can find themselves overly excited when they find the same type of treasure at a self storage auction. There is no telling what you’ll find at a self storage auction but you can be pretty sure that you’ll find some fantastic deals anytime you attend one of these self storage auctions.

Some of the items you find at self storage auctions will surprise you. Business equipment, automotive repair equipment and tools, and many other business-to-business items can be found at self storage auctions. If you plan to try and earn money from self storage auctions you need to be consistent and you need to attend as many auctions as you can to have a good chance of scoring highly profitable treasures. You need to have a solid plan and know how to market the items you are bidding on. My personal suggestion is eBay. People are always looking for rare and unique items on eBay so if you find a hidden treasure in one of your self storage auctions, you can probably turn a nice profit by listing it on an auction site such as eBay.

The best way to determine when these self storage auctions are held is to check your local paper or to call the local self storage providers in your area and simply ask them. They will be more than happy to assist you as their primary goal is to collect enough money to cover the rent that has been unpaid by those in default. I hope you like this article on self storage auctions and that you follow the advice given. Happy hunting!

I probably receive more emails on this subject than any other. Buyers read our Basic Seller’s Manual; they want to start selling but just can’t figure out what to sell or how to get started.

If you are a new seller, my first piece of advice is to clean out your garage or attic. You need to gain some experience selling before you go off and purchase a large lot of wholesale merchandise.

Start by selling used goods, small appliances, wedding gifts you never use, old books (non-fiction one are best), used sporting goods, clothing items (that great leather jacket that doesn’t fit you any more or that pair of cowboy boots you bought on your business trip to Dallas, but never wear). The experience you gain will be invaluable, you will not risk any capital or make any investment beyond some small eBay fees.

Virtually everything is for sale on eBay. One night while watching the sport of Curling during the Winter Olympics, I though a curling stone would make an attractive doorstop and conversation piece for my office. During the commercial I went on line to eBay and found dozens of curling stones for sale. One of them now holds the door open to our billiard room.

Next turn to your hobbies and interests. Too many sellers think the only way to make a fortune is to buy hundreds of the latest hot selling items and put up dozens of auctions. The problem is that hundreds of other sellers are doing the same thing. (If you don’t believe me do a search for diet pills, or cell phone boosters) As you gain experience you can move into these markets, but this area is fraught with danger for the new seller. There are plenty of companies with enough money to import these items directly by the thousands and undersell anyone who buys through a distributor or wholesaler.

Sell something you know something about. Almost everyone collects “something.” If you are knowledgeable about a collectible or an art object, then you have the ability to do the research to find the products at prices you can resell.

Once you gain experience try to focus on larger dollar items. If you only make $2.00 profit per sale, you have to close (and ship) 1000 auctions per month to make $2,000.

Another technique is to sell items in bulk. If you bought a large box of videotapes at a garage sale, separate them into categories and sell them as a lot. You will often make more money than selling them individually. This can also work for clothing. There are sellers that buy children’s clothing from garage sales, sort it by size and gender and sell it in lots. One of my neighbors does this. She will typically pay between $3 to $6 total for several pieces of clothing that she can get over $20 for on eBay. She does the same thing with closeout dealers. She will buy a pallet load of new children’s clothing, sort it by size and sell it in lots of 5 or 10 pieces. Although she might make slightly more selling the pieces individually, this way they sell quicker, the average sale is larger and she turns her inventory over many time more often than she could otherwise.

On eBay seller I know purchases large lots of the hot selling items on eBay (cell phone boosters, pocket knives, etc.) and turns around and sells them in lots of 10 or 25 to other eBayers who want to buy for resale. He recently imported 50,000 disposable cigarette lighters from Korea that he bought for about 11 cents each. He sold them on eBay in lots of 500 for 36 cents each. He made $125 on each lot less his eBay fees. I asked him who was buying the lighters and he said that most of his buyers were flea market, gas station and convenience store owners who sold the lighters over the counter for 99 cents each.

Everyone wants to sell computers, software, movies, DVD’s, digital cameras and all sorts of consumer electronics. The sad fact is that SONY, Panasonic, Canon, and others don’t sell their latest hottest products to small dealers who work out of their home. (In fact they don’t sell anything except through their master distributors.) Even the big stores have trouble getting a large allocation of really hot products.

It is possible to get into this business if you have a lot of market and product knowledge (such as you work in a computer store) and you have the contacts to buy the merchandise. The problem is that you are competing with major retailers, some who sell under their own name and others who sell under blind usernames. One way you can succeed selling consumer electronics is with overstock and closeout merchandise. Millions of dollars worth of consumer electronics, computers and software are sold by closeout dealers every week. The trick is to really know what you are buying and to be able to work on small margins and turn your inventory over often. Unfortunately it takes quite a bit of capital investment to compete in this arena.

There is also a huge market on eBay for “vintage” hi-fi equipment, cameras, old computers and computer hardware and so on. Last year I found an Akai Reel-to-reel tape deck at a garage sale for $25 and the seller threw in 10 reels of tape. I sold the deck on eBay for just under $200 and sold the 10 reels of tape separately in another auction for $30. I met one of eBay’s product managers last year at the first eBay Live event in Anaheim. She sells vintage Apple computers, parts and software. She buys almost all of it at garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores.

Drop shipping is another strategy used by new sellers. I hesitate to recommend working with drop shippers because so many of them are not very reliable.

The problem with drop shipping is that your feedback is on the line. If the drop shipper is temporarily out of stock or somehow screws up your order — it is your feedback that will suffer. When you are starting out just one or two negative feedback comments can set your back months. Also the merchandise available from most drop shippers is very common and being sold by hundreds of other sellers.

If you are really strapped for cash, you can use a drop shipper temporarily. As soon as you can afford it however, I would start buying wholesale from direct wholesalers and/or distributors. You will make more money and have greater control over your business.

When I am asked, “what should I sell,” I am usually also asked what are the best selling items on eBay. I.e. hot sellers.

Here is a list of the currently hot selling items on eBay. This is not a recommendation of what to sell. Each of these product areas is fraught with its own perils.

    * Diet Pills
    * Nutritional Sex Enhancers
    * Cell Phone Boosters
    * Pheromone scents
    * Glass chess sets
    * Low cost jewelry
    * Expensive watches and jewelry
    * Heirloom jewelry
    * Used toys in good condition
    * New and used clothing for children and plus-sized clothing for women
    * Western wear such as cowboy boots, belts, shirts, leather vests, etc.
    * Software (including closed-out or last year’s software programs and games)
    * Strobe pens
    * Tools (power and hand tools)
    * Perfume (including perfume samples and opened expensive perfumes that are at least over one-half full)
    * Perfume bottles (some with or without perfume)
    * Religious books and Bibles (Bibles are always a perennial seller)
    * Non-fiction books on hobbies, sports, nautical subjects, history, military science, popular textbooks, and art & photography.   Also books containing maps and art prints that can be broken and sold individually.
    * Maps and old prints of ships, flowers, animals (horses and dogs are tops)
    * Used auto parts for specialty automobiles (Porsche, BMW, MG, etc.)
    * Low mileage Japanese cars and pickups
    * Automotive models and car collectibles
    * Signed sports collectibles

I could go on — but these are some of the best selling items on eBay today. (I am sure I missed a few)

If you want to know what to sell on eBay, probably the single best piece of advice I can give new sellers is to be unique and to specialize. Find a niche market, learn everything about it and work it over and over. 

What’s all the Buzz About?

It seems like these days just about everyone is making money online.  Right?

Forget all the nonsense and pay attention.  For once in your life, you are about to get something for nothing.  I’m going to tell you exactly how you can begin earning money online.  And I’m not going to charge you a nickel.  I know how frustrating and expensive it is trying to follow the advice of the guru’s, usually buying into a program that doesn’t work out like the sales copy said it would.

Tip One: There’s always something in it for the guru.

First let’s take a look at what you come across when searching for an opportunity to make money online.

A simple online search of turn-key websites or wholesalers leaves most people with a new glimmer of hope that they too can make a living working at home.  With the popularity of E-bay, Amazon and sites like Craigslist, there at first light appears to be a realistic chance of being a successful online reseller.

Tip Two: The Road Map

For the beginner, intermediate or even the most expert webmaster…the challenge is exactly to same.  In no particular order you must:  Build a website, Find your niche market, Find a product or service to sell to your niche market, promote your website, attract visitors, maintain your inventory or wholesale supplier, invest the proper time into customer service, fulfill existing orders, process returns and ship products.

It seems straight forward enough. Well, not exactly.  Recent statistics show that over 90% of online businesses fail.

There are many reasons why these websites fail.  But let’s look at how the odds are stacked against you.  A lot of people think that eBay is a great way to make money online.  Did you know that eBay has over 86 million users?  So what does this mean for you, the newcomer listing products on eBay?  It means that you will have plenty of competition.  It’s hard to find a published list of full time eBay sellers but the number of merchants grows each day. Can you make money using e-bay?  Absolutely, but you have to understand the dynamics and set realistic expectations that you can achieve.  An experienced eBay seller understands the importance of the rating a customer leaves once a transaction is completed.  Hence earning an income on e-bay is directly related to great customer service along with quality products at affordable prices.

Tip Three: Finding products to sell.

Before you can begin selling products on your website or anywhere else you have to decide on your niche market.  What is it that you want to sell?  Or should I say what products are suited for you to sell.  Important: Unless you have an established channel source for products you will have a difficult time succeeding.  You should be the expert in your given category.  Whether you want to sell fishing lures, toys, patio furniture, books or anything else you can think of research your source for products first.

Always begin by selling products that you are familiar with.  It would make more sense for a person with an automotive mechanic background to sell automotive parts rather than electronics.  Although offering a large array of products may increase your sales, you will do much better focusing on a category that your expertise helps to promote.

Tip Four: So where do you get products to sell?

Depending on the niche you have chosen you may find the number of wholesalers that offer just the type of products you are looking for.  Usually for a monthly fee you have the right to sell products that these wholesalers have listed on their web sites.  You will have the ability to list thousands of products.  The biggest advantage of working with wholesalers is that you do not have to carry merchandise.  That means no inventory to manage and no shipping to deal with.

Once again…sounds pretty good!

Here’s the reality.  Once you decide to become a wholesale member you can begin to search through the products or manufacturer’s you want to work with.  You will find live product feeds that can be added directly to your store inventory or you can (for an additional fee) get data sheet downloads for each product line or category.

Still sounds like an easy solution doesn’t it?

Well, once you find the product and get them listed in your store, you have only begun. Remember adding new products should be done daily in each category since you will have to manually update your inventory for each individual product daily.

Unless you actually purchase the inventory at the wholesale price there is no guarantee that the item will be available when a customer attempts to purchase it from your site.  Since most wholesalers have thousands of customers selling their merchandise, controlling the rate of inventory depletion is nearly impossible.  In other words, let’s say a wholesaler offers gadget X on their website.  The wholesaler will list the quantity available for gadget X.  You like gadget X and want to sell it in your web store.  The wholesaler publishes 25 gadget X are available.  Now keep in mind that there may be 500 other websites that are offering the same gadget X that the wholesaler made available.  Since you can’t control the sales rate of the item on other sites, you are taking a gamble listing items with low inventory levels.  You have no guarantee that gadget X will be in stock when your customer makes a purchase. Purchasing gadget X (before you sell to your customer)  is the only sensible way to be assured the item will be available.

Tip Five: Pricing to Sell?

Price matters especially when shopping online.

Tip Six: Fulfillment

Once a customer makes a purchase from your site you must process the order. (Assuming the item is still in stock),you must manually enter the order at your wholesaler’s website, pay for the merchandise via credit card or pre-paid account and enter your customers shipping location information. (Each order can take up to 10 minutes including printing or order verifications)  One last thing:  Check the return policies of all manufacturers.  Some do not accept returned merchandise or will charge a 5 to 20 percent re-stocking fee.  You must have a clearly written return policy for all items you wish to list.

Typically the manufacturer of gadget X will handle the fulfillment of their product.  This means that you must consider the location of the manufacturer when setting up shipping rates.  You will find many large items available though the various wholesalers.  Take into consideration the size of the shipping box and the weight of the item.  Shipping is an added cost for your customers and getting the cost accurate is critical.

Sure you can make money wholesaling online but it takes work, dedication, customer support and sometimes the risk of buying merchandise before you sell it on your site.  If you are trying it out alone, I would recommend trying to promote less than 50 total items.  Make a top 10 list and focus the majority of your efforts on these items.

Keep in mind I have not recommended a host or web store.  Be sure to do your home work and find a store with more than minimal capabilities.  Since you will be promoting your items individually, you should make sure the store has built in features to add key words, meta-description and titles to each listing.

It will take even the most advanced user up to 6 months before seeing any significant income if starting from scratch.  In addition to the 50 to 75 hours of week you should be spending on your site creation and content management you should consider taking on the following monthly expenses.  Web Host Fee, Web Store Fee, Wholesaler Fee and Advertising/Promotion.

If you use premium services you should expect $250.00/mo in expenses. Determining how many items you have to sell to break even will depend on your niche and price points.

Although you can make money by using a philosophy like this, many try and fail.

Affiliate marketing, or promoting others websites is still a viable solution that can have a tremendous upside.

For most people, running a web store via the route of the wholesaler is too much like work.

Would if you could run your whole business for less than $10.00 a month (the cost of hosting a site)?  How would you like to receive checks without ever having to place an order?  Imagine never again having to list items in your store.  As a matter of fact, you don’t even need a store.  All you will need is website with an editor capable of pasting html and javascript.

Step 7  A Better Way

If you have found your way to this article consider yourself one of the lucky ones.  What I’m about to teach you will either help you build the website of your dreams or help you redesign your current site.  By the way, this is not sales copy since I’m not selling anything.

Why is it Free?

I’ve been right where you are.  With over 10 years of webmaster experience one thing remains constant….change.  The advances made over the last decade are astounding.  But even though technology has developed fresh creative solutions to old problems, the core purpose of the internet has remained.  The web really is the information super highway.  More than ever people rely on the internet for shopping, paying bills, checking the news, sending e-mail and of course communicating on the major social networks.  By providing you with free, trustworthy information we introduce to you a friendly new platform in which you can implement yourself.

Since you now know that 90% of online merchants fail you might be ready to throw in the towel.  After all most site owners aren’t webmasters.

their websites are poorly designed, they don’t understand niche marketing, there knowledge of SEO is lacking, there sites are not very secure, customer service and phone support is poor, they compete on price alone or they don’t put in the hours needed to succeed.

Ingredients for online success.

Before you begin you must thoroughly research your market.

You must have:

Focus Persistence Patience Accuracy Discipline

Once you have decided what it is that you want to sell and more importantly why you want to sell online you’re on the road to web building.  Remember stick with an item or service that you are familiar with.

The next step is to change your focus from “selling” to promoting.  If you’re hell bent on selling your own products with the rest of the heard then stop reading now and exit.  This strategy is not for you.

For the rest of you it’s time to understand that you can build your own site, promoting content related articles and products that you never have to “sell”.

Did you know that for every 1000 visitors that enter a (store – shopping portal for the first time) less than 2% actually make a purchase.  If the site is poorly designed the rates can be as low as 0.25%.

Smaller shopping sites with little advertising budgets (and optimized correctly) will see a traffic stream of less than 50 visitors a day (if you’re lucky).  Even small web merchants using large shopping portals like Amazon, Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL typically see less than 500 a day.

The point here is that even if you have done your homework and set up a descent (well optimized site) spent your money on advertising, you will still have unfavorable odds stacked against you. Getting targeted shoppers into your site or store is one thing.  Having them make a purchase is an entirely different story.

Just an FYI here, if you have untargeted visitors coming to your site divide your targeted sales rate by 10.  Tip: Never buy untargeted traffic.

If a merchant with a properly optimized, well designed site and marketing plan is attracting 100 targeted visitors a day, only one or two of those visitors will make a purchase.

Remember, it’s the job of the web merchant to “sell” to their visitors.

Web Critic

Over the years there have been many types of affiliate programs.  Unfortunately, mass number of (so called) affiliate sites come and go daily.  The concept of working as an affiliate is considered more or less universal now.  Simply put an affiliate supports sales or sign ups of visitors by redirecting them to the sites they choose to promote.  So if I’m a gadget manufacturer with a website, I pay my affiliates a percentage of my sales profit when a visitor is sent to me from their site.  The whole process is automated and tracked through a host account affiliate.

The Process

Choosing your partners.  Apply to the following programs to begin your affiliate set-up.

Click Bank

Commission Junction

Digital River

Google Affiliate Program

Pepperjam Network

Once approved you can begin searching for merchants to promote.

Although your commission rates will vary greatly from publisher to publisher don’t base your selection solely on this percentage.  You will find that publishers that are using affiliate programs to promote (internet trash) will pay you a higher commission since it is often difficult for them to find affiliates.  Better well known sites don’t pay the same rate, but you can rest easy knowing when your visitors arrive at their site, they won’t be disappointed.

Five things to check:

How long has the website been in operation? – Before accepting the terms of your publisher find out how long the site has been in operation.  Usually the length of time a site has been in operation is directly relational to a quality customer experience and increased sales.  There are exceptions to this rule and every once in a while a site goes up that has an immediate positive impact on users.  Finding and promoting up and coming sites is part of our recipe What is the sites page rank Alexa & Compete? – Set up an Alexa account before you go further.  Alexa works with your browser allowing you see each sites page rank and analytics.  You can see traffic statistics which will help you determine if the publisher’s site is one you would like to promote. Site Design/Content-  Check out the site yourself.  If you think the site is poorly designed, then the visitors you send will probably feel the same way.  Make sure the content on the site matches or compliments a category on your site.  Look for content within the site that may be easy to promote. Customer Service- Once on the publisher’s site make sure you look at the customer service options. Make sure they have a working customer support phone number or contact page to resolve complaints, answer questions and provide relevant FAQ.  Read through the stores policy and don’t forget to look at customer return options. Shopping Experience- Go directly into the website’s store. Is the store secure?  Is the store easy to navigate?  Can you find brand name items or discounted pricing?  Is the merchandise of quality?  Would you make a purchase from this merchant?  Add an item into the shopping cart and determine the shipping options the merchant offers.

Once you have selected the publishers/merchants you want to work with, begin finding and writing web copy for each page of your site.  For example if you’re promoting toys you will want to write about toys and find articles that are related to toys.

Essentially you are now the critic of each category on your site.  It only makes sense to add web copy for each publisher listed on your site.  Even if you have 100 different publishers, each offer needs its own copy.

Make sure you differentiate your pages.  You don’t want a page filled with advertising that doesn’t match the content.

Promotion:

SEO.  Optimize each page on your site.  Pay attention to your meta tags, keywords and page titles for each page.  Add alt text to all images within the page.  A good tip is to use a saturation rate between 6 and 8 percent for your chosen keywords.

Links

In order to achieve a higher page rank there are many factors to consider.  We recommend buying up to 5 one way links from websites with a page rank of 4 or higher.

Create a list.

Be sure to add an opt in newsletter or other free content.  Once you have a database of newsletter subscribers you will be able to reach all of your customers with a list of your best offers.  Even though your visitors have opted in to your newsletter don’t spam them every chance you get.  Once every 10 days you should keep them up to date with your latest offerings.

Update Content:

There’s nothing worse than a page that never changes.  Schedule weekly maintenance and change your articles as often as possible.  Be sure to check each of your publishers for changes in policy or new product offerings.  The early bird gets the worm.  Consistently add new products and merchants that meet your criteria.

Social Networks & Blogs:

Set-up and broadcast your sites existence on the social networks. Forgetting to spend time on social networks is a huge mistake. Here’s your opportunity to tell your entire network what you’re doing.  Add a blog link to your site and be dedicated to adding new content daily.  There’s nothing like promoting yourself.

The Goal:

If you followed the steps outlined above for choosing a publisher to work with, have written quality copy and have optimized your site correctly, you will find your conversion rates will hover around 2%

Growth:

Once you add your personal touches to your site and establish a base rate for monthly commission your next step is to clone the site.  If the steps are followed there’s no reason to believe a second site won’t match the original in earned revenue.  If you are diligent and have the passion to succeed…you will.

So you have decided to sell your car. There are some things that you should know to be sure that you don’t leave money on the table when you do sell it. To be sure that you receive the most money possible there are some steps you should take that go past just placing an ad in the local mullet wrapper. Here are some ideas to help you out.

As an internet marketer who makes his living online I have to go here first. The internet is the most complete source you will find for information on any subject and selling your car is definitely no exception to this. You will be able to find online car clubs for just about any type of vehicle and they will usually have forums and message boards you can participate in just by signing up. Don’t just register with their boards to sell your car though, these online communities consider such parasitical behavior as spamming.

You can also use the internet to see what vehicles like yours should sell for. One source that has all vehicle values listed with the valuations customized for your particular area is Kelly Blue Book. Another source that I like to use is the online auction giant, eBay. Their eBay Motors Division has the largest online auction source of cars, trucks, SUVs and more. You can see what vehicles in the same condition as yours are currently selling for.

Another great place that you can find locally is a car club for your particular vehicle. If you own a sports car, classic, Jeep, or some other specialty type vehicle you will probably be able to find a club for it in your area. People who belong to these clubs are not only enthusiasts who know everything about the vehicles but most of them also know people who might be looking for a car like yours, especially if it is in really pristine condition or is considered a rare version.

Many of these clubs will have their own newsletters or even magazines that they will sell advertising space in. Placing an advertisement directed at such a targeted audience will get you the best results. Another place to run targeted advertising is in automotive publications such as the Auto Trader. People who read these are in the market to buy a vehicle.

Talk to local mechanics about your car. They are like the local gossip column when it comes to cars. They usually know of people that are looking for particular cars and can give you advice on where to find them. If not they can direct you to more local resources that may be able to help you sell your car.

Finally, before you sell your car invest a hundred bucks or so in having is professionally detailed. This is money well spent. A professional detailer will be able to make your vehicle look like new. Be sure to have the engine compartment steam cleaned as well when you have this done. This one step will drastically increase the amount of money you get for your car.
