From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

sheloveshimsomuch

Morning all, well this weekend has been a bit of a big leap for me, I reinvested all the money I have made so far from ebay and bingo, and bought some more things to sell on! I am really excited about it (is that sad?)! Also, I went onto Bingo Britain to use up my £5.00 and won £200! I still can't believe it!

Is anyone keeping any sort of accounts for this challenge? I have been thinking I should really as I have bought things to sell for a profit. Any thoughts?

mabel - do people just have to click on the banners or do they actually have to buy something from the site they click through to??[/QUO
all the ones I have people have to buy something. I'd like to know if there are any where they just have to click?

Well ive been making notes on how (i think !) to make my t shirt sales a success!
One of the key points for me is how do i make my sales page an attractive option for potential buyers to consider purchasing off myself.
And another is if my trials sell well, would it be worth considering paying the £14.99 a month for the 'basic business' option?
Ive already ordered the packaging, and looked at 3 different t shirt companys and looking at whats best, then i need the transfer paper!, but the more challenging thing will be the selling, not the buying the actual products!:D

as far as makiing your listing stand out.... have a look on ebay for what others are doing.... don't forget the people who are selling the pre printed transfers too.... and make it look better/different.

Having a shop will make you look more professional but will not give you any priority in listings....

have a look on the ebay forums to see how people are using the BM to their advantage....

Hmmm came across 2 binders full of "the essential guide to Beauty". Not sure where to try and sell them though?

Thanks Mrs money-do you have to pay to join or anything? sorry for dumb questions-have only just started all this!

Sheloveshim-if you are buying things to sell for profit you must register as self employed,keep records and change your Ebay account to a business one.
Dont worry-its easier than it sounds!!
