Not trying to spam. It just seems that many of us with WS can find ourselves in tight spots financially. Especially if WS is the breadwinner. I just wanted to share how I make money at home using the internet and eBay. I use the dropshipping program *****edit*******If you are familiar with cafepress, the idea is much the same. The biggest difference is the prices are much, much lower. Low enough that a good profit can be made from online auctions.
I research design ideas and when I find something that I think would be a good seller, I apply it to different products, like watches and flasks. There are over 200 products to choose from with more added all the time. I list the items for sale in an auction. When they sell I place a bulk order ***edit****and they make and ship the item within 2 days. It's really easy.
Some people list a bazillion items, but I only have about 30 that I sell on a regular basis. I list 10 3-day auctions every day. I have made a lot of designs, but I only list my best sellers. This keeps my profit margin very high. With circumstances I haven't been able to work on new stuff for a while, but I'm very confident that with every successful new design, I will only make more. The potential is very great. As is, I probably profit somewhere around $1500 a month. Just a guess, it could be more with the bulk orders I get occassionally.
I used to have another home based biz sewing baby slings and it took up all of my time and killed my back. This is 1000 times easier and the profit margin is a lot greater. If you go to ********* click on the case study link on the left side of the homepage. It gives a great breakdown and links to real people's ebay user id's who are doing very well for themselves selling their own customized products. Very inspiring.
Hope this info helps out some desperate souls.
