Some may call it a purpose driven life yet only thing religious about life for two middle aged British “resident aliens” living in Los Angeles is they rise at 5am and are usually asleep by nine.

They rack up about a hundred hours between them in their average work week and have been in same business for last four years. However, unlike most who boast identical grind, Holly and Shirley Yanez, lifelong best friends who married and divorced American brothers, don’t have a 401K, medical insurance or cell phones. They work for themselves, one of perks, accrued vacation time.

Although both women have excellent backgrounds, one an ex business owner with a five million dollar turnover company, other, a seasoned technical sales executive, when desperate, found it impossible to get jobs in LA. After submitting hundreds of applications, resumes and cover letters, 39 and 47 year old women were even turned down for receptionist and retail sales assistant positions due to lack of experience.

With no one to rely on, no friends and family for support, women, willing to work hard, had to build a business from scratch that could support them and two small children if they were to survive in a new country.

They needed a low cost product they could market globally for free. With very little investment available and no established credit, their only way of effectively and cheaply marketing anything was over internet.

Let me tell you my story... After having tried many other ways of making money online and failed, I was left with no other option but to try "ebay selling" thing.

Until then I always thought it was too complicated and like many other people trying to make money online, I was not really interested in fact that most of stuff sold on ebay is physical stuff.

I was thinking to myself, if I am going to start making money on ebay, I am going to have a place to store all this stuff and then make sure it is shipped out on time.

Ah, too much work, I thought to myself!

But then, I discovered "drop shipping" and you should have been there to see BIG SMILE that I had on my face.

Now I could really further look into, making money on ebay all I had to do was find a product that people were buying then search my list of drop shippers to find who had that available. When I find a drop shipper, I then simply list item for auction on ebay and when auction ends, i collect money from buyer, pay my drop shipper and have them ship out item as soon as possible.

Now that's what I am talking about, but it gets better...
