125 OEA Podcast – A New Strategy for Expanding Your Amazon and eBay Business




The Online Empire Academy Podcast show

Summary: Whats up Empire,<br> Joshua Woodward here.<br> There is A New Strategy for Expanding Your Amazon and eBay Business<br> I have used a similar strategy as the one we are talking about today for getting Product at a steep discount but Mike Hadad has taken this idea and super sized it. <br> One of the greatest problems in the ecom community is product. When you dont have product you dont have sales. The more quality product coming in the better quality sales you will be getting. <br> I had had enough of the garage sales. Waking up at 6 in the morning on a Saturday began to feel like a sin. So I thought to myself how in the world can I get these quality products im finding at garage sales without the hassle of the garage sale search. Thats when it clicked. Craigslist that you will buy peoples goods so they dont have to go through the hassle of a garage sale. <br> I had fixed prices, fixed rules and a truck. Within a week I had 3 hits and a solid amount of sorting to be done. <br> This has continued to be one of the best and most lucrative ways to optimize my time, energy and resources….until I heard about what Mike Hadad was doing with his business iSold It. <br> He has a business that basically consigns peoples goods for them on his top rated ebay account. this was one of those OH MY GOSH moments for me. Why had I not thought to do this? <br> I am all about partnering. Empire you know that, and what better way to optimize my time than have people coming to me to sell there stuff on amazon and eBay. <br> Now i know you are probably thinking, Im not going to make as much money as i would if it was my own product or if i bought the item outright. See thats what I thought but think about it. If you already are listing, packing and shipping all day anyway why not leverage one more thing and start making an extra 30% for almost no upfront cost. <br> I love this model and I have definitely been inspired.<br> I would highly recommend going and checking out what mike has built. It is a beautiful business and something I have some mad respect for. <br> If you want to check out Mike and iSold it go to, <a href="http://www.isolditmd.com/">http://www.isolditmd.com/</a><br> If you want to know more about us and all we are doing go to,<a href="http://www.theonlineempireacademy.com">http://www.theonlineempireacademy.com</a><br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/EIDMastermind/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/EIDMastermind/</a><br> Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJtNGg7PaK-fsdTDHUp5BQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJtNGg7PaK-fsdTDHUp5BQ</a><br> itunes: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/online-empire-academy-podcast/id379874674?mt=2">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/online-empire-academy-podcast/id379874674?mt=2</a><br> Stitcher Radio: <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/entrepreneur-ideas-podcast/entrepreneur-idea-dads-podca">http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/entrepreneur-ideas-podcast/entrepreneur-idea-dads-podca</a>st<br> Until next time Empire,<br> Have a great day!<br> Joshua Woodward and the O.E.A. team<br> — Transcripts Below This Point—<br> Speaker 1:<br> You’re listening to the Online Empire Academy Podcast where you’ll discover some of the best and most creative ways to provide for your family and get started on your journey to entrepreneurship.
