When I first started selling on eBay 3 years ago, as a successful businessman I was tempted by hearing stories of fabulous wealth being created. However, selling physical items was difficult due to finding local, low cost suppliers who could be relied upon over time.

I heard about digital products such as eBooks and was intruiged due to their high profit, low cost nature. I wanted to know more. I began researching the information products section and was astonished at what I saw. Hundreds of sellers all competing for a slice of the info-product pie. I did a little more digging and found that the eBook market was worth over $800 million per year, and it soon became clear why there were so many sellers in the market.

I realised that as a new eBay seller at the time, I would need some credibility to help my business grow, so I started by buying a few resale rights eBooks on eBay to build my feedback. When I reached the acceptable level to become a seller, I quickly opened my eBay seller account and Paypal account.

I then compiled a business plan. One that enabled me not only to setup an eBook business that ran itself, 100% on autopilot, but one that could be replicated by others, to allow them to get a piece of this pie.

I knew in doing this I would become an authority figure on eBay eventually, as I had my own product to offer others with a need to make simple income.

I began painstaking piecing together every single step I took, from registering my eBay and Paypal accounts correctly, to creating powerful sales adverts and listing an eBook on eBay. I then remembered from my sales days – I used to use Outlook Express to create autoreply messages to customers and quickly utilised this power to automate delivery of eBooks to my customers.

I became a profitable eBay Powerseller very quickly in just 42 days from scratch and now make a fabulous living, purely selling eBooks on eBay, and my own information products all over the web.

Now 3 years on, I am proud to say my business has helped thousands of people create an extra income, and have even sold my rights to my automated eBook business guide to some of the biggest information publishers on the internet and have mentored some of the biggest sellers on eBay today.
