Today we are going to set up the different parts of opening an Amazon Account. This is easy and staright forward.
If You do not have an account you need to Get one by Click Here For An Amazon Account
Next you need to go to this page Start Here
During the process of listing Amazon will ask you you have a Payments account set up, if you do not just follow the screen and this will be set up, this allows for them to pay you every fortnight.
Hope This Has Helped You.
Yesterday I talked with about going around your house and collecting together all your unwanted books, CD’s and DVD’s. I guess some of you got carried away and went round other family members houses and did the same thing – (Just remember if you did and you find a gem of an item to share the profits with them)
Today’s task is not as fun sorry, but if you want to earn some money you do need to work a bit.
Today I want you to take an A4 Note pad and take the first item.
You will need to write down the following for each item.
@ The title of the item
@ Who the writer is , singer, band etc (if it is a DVD film you can miss this bit out)
@ You need to note down what the condition is either brand new, new, second hand etc. And if there is any damage note that as well.
@ Lastly you need to note down the bar code – or ISBN number. If you cannot find a number do not worry, I will talk about this next few days.
well thats your job done today. The reason why I asked you to do it this way is that when I talk you through listing the items you will find it easier to list. Because if you had to pick each one up and find the information it does take longer.
Also this way you can if you have a laptop list anywhere in the world. Sitting in a hotel room waiting for a meeting, in a coffee shop or on the beach, in fact where ever you can get internet access you can list.
***A point to note, if you can type fast then open up your note book program and list in there then it is a copy and paste job****
See you tomorrow when we talk about getting an account.
Today I want to start a mini series Entitled Getting Started With Amazon. Now living here in the UK, I am writing this from a UK point of view, but I believe the same process will work anywhere in the world where Amazon allow you to sell your own items.
Getting Started
Today I want you to get some boxes or some strong carrier bags and go through each room in your house, loft etc and look for any books, CD’s, DVD’s that you no longer use, want, have room for and place them in the boxes or bags.
Do not prejuudge the items as you do not know what they are worth until we start to list them on Amazon.
This should take you a few hours. Take your time and have fun.
Tomorrow will take you through the next stage.
Have you wanted to buy and source stock at rock bottom costs that could bring you in a nice little income ? I guess the answer to that questions is why yes of course.
Well have you tried your local Library? A few times a year in the UK most library have sales where they sell of the older books, dvd’s talking books, videos and Cd’s. Most of these items are in good condition – if they are not do not buy.
They are priced real cheap, so take a long some strong bags and some cash and have a few hours of fun.
You get to hear about these sales from adverts in the local papers, adverts in the library and on loacal notice boards.
Again set yourself a budget and stick to it.
Have fun sourcing
Continuing on my sourcing theme, I have found another great place – Discount shops, such as Costco, Asda (Wal-Mart) , Aldi, Matalan – A hint here please keep a lookout for my new low cost report coming soon.
As with charity shops you need to set yourself a budget for the day, and not go over it unless you find a real bargain, but do be careful and if you keep to your budget if it all goes wrong you will not loose much.
Also take your laptop with you so you can do some coffee shop research, or have your internet phone with you, or as your last line of research a friend or family member sitting by the phone and a computer who can do the research for you.
Most of these places sell bankrupt or end of line items and over stock - I shall be going over these in other posts and also in my report. Most of the shops carry new items and if they are customer returns they must tell you both when the item is on the shelf and when you go to pay for the item.
Hope this gives you another idea on where to source items to resell.
