When Adam Ginsberg
started selling pool tables on eBay, all he was armed with was an idea and the
determination to succeed. With hard
work, dedication and a constant endeavor to improve his business strategies,
Adam rose to become one of the top sellers on eBay.
Today, Adam helpsthousands of people script their own eBay success stories through his mentoring
programs. And, while his programs include complete details from setting up an eBay account to making it to the top sellers’ list, Adam
shares his three basic principles for achieving success in your own internet
business venture.
Research
Research is the key to
success in any business. The more in-depth your research, the less are your
chances of making a mistake in your business venture. Start by asking yourself questions
like “what is it going to cost to start your business?” and then list every
possible cost that you are likely to incur, starting from the cost of setting
up a website, which again will include everything from your internet cost,
website development cost, electricity to run your computer and home office,
etc. etc. As we said—get as detailed as possible. Once you have the costs
figured out, you can do two things: figure out the profit margins you’d want to
earn from selling your products, and figure out a way to constantly reduce
unnecessary costs, which will help you earn better profit margins. Similarly,
you could research about the products or services you want to sell, your
competition, how to improve your services, etc. The more you research the better
your business will get.
Plan
After you have done
your initial research, make a plan of action for your business. Plan every last
detail about how you’re going to launch your business, when you’re going to do
it, where you’re going to do it, who your target customers are and how you’re
going to reach them. Again, the more detailed the plan, the better your chances
of tasting quick success.
Evaluate
Once your business is
live and has been running for a few months, revisit your research and your
business plan and see if everything is going according to your plan, how good
your research was, how successful were you in implementing your plan, if
anything had changed in the market that could affect your business. And, if
need be, realign your plan according to how your business is running and where
you’d like it to go.
These three basic
strategies alone are good enough to help you start any business make a success
out of it. But, if you’d like to know more about Adam Ginsberg’s secrets of a successful online business using eBay,
