Making The Dream Of Working From Home A Reality: How Stay-At-Home Moms, Students, Retirees And More Can Make Money By Working Out Of Their Homes As Eb
(PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- For the thousands of people who have always dreamed of working from home but have dismissed the possibility as too good to be true or otherwise impossible, the newest book from eBay PowerSeller Hillary DePiano, The Trading Assistant's Assistant (ISBN: 978-0978606336), provides not only step-by-step instructions on starting your home based business as an eBay Trading Assistant, but also the counsel and advice to help you run your business efficiently and profitably.
While the prospect of starting an online business may seem daunting, The Trading Assisant's Assistant outlines the entire process of starting your business in clear, simple terms so you don't need to be an entrepreneur or business wiz to get your business started without any initial financial investment. While so many work-from-home opportunities require a large start-up or otherwise initial investment, DePiano's book outlines how you can begin your Trading Assistant service either as a part time job or full time career with little to no initial cash out of pocket.
"I think, from the start, the reason a lot of people overlook this amazing opportunity is that they don't understand what a Trading Assistant really is," says DePiano, who has been selling on eBay since 1997. "A Trading Assistant is, essentially, just someone who sells someone else's items for them on eBay. There is very little regulation or guidance of the program from eBay which is what makes it such a great opportunity for anyone who wants to take control of their own destiny. The Trading Assistant has complete control over the terms of his or her business; you decide how much work you want to do, when you want to do it and how much you want to make from it!"
On eBay's end, the requirements for becoming a Trading Assistant are minimal and most eBay users with an account in good standing likely already qualify, even if they have never sold seriously before. Even those that are totally new to eBay will find it easy to build up enough transactions to meet the requirements quickly. Even finding your first customers is simpler than you might think. For many Trading Assistants, they find themselves starting out with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors as their first clients.
"Everyone knows someone with things they no longer want. As tech savvy as many people are, there are still hundreds of people, even amongst the people you see everyday, who are still intimidated, afraid or otherwise too busy to sell their items on eBay themselves," explains DePiano, who, in addition to her other books on eBay, which includes The Seller Ledger: An Auction Organizer for Selling on eBay, writes for the e-zine eBay Weekly. "For some people, it is worth it to them to pay you whatever you are willing to charge for them to not have to sell the items on eBay themselves. My own brother came to this hard realization after trying to sell his items on eBay. After a few very frustrating weeks, he showed up at my door with his items and told me whatever I wanted to sell them for him was fine by him."
Many eBay PowerSellers and other volume sellers are also Trading Assistants, which is how they get much of the merchandise that they sell online. "Word of mouth is probably your best marketing tool when you are a Trading Assistant. People like to brag about things like cleaning and getting money and the service that a Trading Assistant provides gives them the chance to brag about both! Every person whose items you sell is likely to tell their family and friends about your service and each of them become potential new clients," says DePiano who has included a section in the book about promoting and marketing your service as well as how to indentify different client types and how to approach each group.
The Trading Assistant's Assistant: How to start a part-time job or full-time consignment drop-off business on eBay is available now at all major bookstores and is priced at less then $10 USD.
