Sell Your Passion on eBay!

When teaching newbies how to sell on eBay I almost always hear the same two things "I want to make money selling things on eBay!" and "What should I sell on eBay?".

I always answer with - "Why aren't you?" and "SELL YOUR PASSION on eBay"!!!

What does that mean? It's simple. When you follow your passion, good stuff happens! Personally, professionally, romantically, etc.! It's where your heart is and where your interests lie. It's where you want to be and what you want to spend your time doing. Hopefully it's your work. If it's not, then it should be. When you're passionate about something, it makes it easier to do, more fun, exciting, you are more driven, and you don't loose interest.

How do I know this? Because I had to figure it out for myself. I've spent hours thinking about what I want to do when I grown up and what I should sell on eBay. I have finally figured it out by reviewing my life, what makes me tick and analyzing who I am. What made it all come together for me were 5 simple questions that I came up with that I would like to share with you!
Treasureholic's - 5 Questions to Help You ID Your Passion!

Answer each question honestly. Your answers need to be places and things and NOT people. List as many as you can for each question.
  1. What do you love?
  2. What hobbies do you have outside of work?
  3. What objects do you surround yourself with?
  4. What do you treasure?
  5. If money were no object, what would you do with your time?
Now that your finished, I'm sure that you have an interesting list. Now take the same questions and ask 5 of your closest friends or family members to answer the questions as they pertain to you. Basically, they are going to give you an outside perspective of what and who they think you are. For example:

  1. What does Dana love? etc.

Their answers will give you additional insight about yourself. When you have your answers, make a list of the common items. You will start to see similar things come up! Guess what? That's where your passion lies! You've done it! You now know what you need to sell on eBay and can say... It's My Passion!

Find a way to List items that match your passion(s) and you will be successful! Your listings will shine and your buyers will appreciate your finds, interest and knowledge on the items that they are buying from you.

Before you know it, you will be making money doing what you love!
