Let me start with an interesting eBay auction story!

I was experimenting with various ads and categories in eBay. There are many tools on market that can help you locate what are called "Hot eBay Sales Items". A few years ago, eBay would put a small flame next to any item that received 10 or more bids. That would be considered a "hot" or "in demand" item.

If an item is in demand, it is simply good business logic to search for sources on item so you can also sell them on eBay. While using a hot item search tool I noticed that high-end appliances (brands like Viking, Subzero and Thermador) had a very substantial number of bids.

I went to Viking website, looked at their accessories for gas ranges, and proceeded to list one of items on website for $39 to test consumer response. This was $15 more than price of $24 shown on Viking website. I did call Viking 800 number for customer service to make sure item was in stock before I listed item for sale, and also to verify that I could pay with a credit card and have item shipped to a different address. Viking said, "yes" to both questions.

I was surprised to find item sold after three days for $39 price plus $6 shipping. I received payment from eBay buyer, called Viking and placed order to be shipped direct to buyer with only a packing list.

This is a great example of how I set up a drop ship account. When you set up a drop ship account with a distributor or wholesale company, they will give you a discount on retail price. I made money on this test transaction and sold it for more than retail.

This is truly information age and people are scouring Internet for more knowledge in their area of interest that they can attain instantly. You know things that other people do not. You are unique, and this article will show you in a simple way how to tap this knowledge and create a profit.

You do not need to be a writer or have any special skills to accomplish this. I have purchased and sold information products on eBay that were only 1 page in length, that were emailed to me minutes after eBay auction had closed and sold for $19 or more.

If you have sent or received email you can create an information product you can easily sell on eBay.

For many people last thing in world they want to do is write a paper, but in reality you are doing this verbally several times a day

Writers Block here is how you overcome it! Use this simple technique

1. Purchase a low cost tape recorder at Radio Shack if you do not own one.

2. Tape yourself when you are talking to someone about your passion or area of expertise (do not talk to tape recorder pretend it is not there.)
