SELL JEWELRY ONLINE

SELL JEWELRY ONLINE

SELL ONLINE

What would I have to do to sell jewelry online? Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

WHY JEWELRY

Jewelery is something I, (Frank), know something about, and my wife, (Ginny) knows quite a lot about. Ginny got acquainted with jewelry design and making in collage in the late 60’s “don’t dare ask me her age”, and she has been making, buying and selling it ever since.

AUCTIONS

Ginny and I had gotten interested in Auctions about 25 years ago and working for several different

Auctioneers I was able to take my test and was given my Texas Auctioneers license.

We have dealt in a lot of different merchandise. Bought and sold a lot of vintage and antique jewelry, furniture, cars, trucks. Believe it or not, at one of my Auctions we sold a Gold Fish. Now that was an odd one. Along with Parrots, Chickens, Ducks and furniture, I think I have sold just about everything, except I haven’t had any red wigglers come across the Auction Block as yet. Don’t be to hasty now. You never know.

IS IT ALREADY SATURATED?

Well. Let’s see. In the United States Of America we have a population estimated at 966,139,408. Those of us doing something online is estimated at about 602,293,593. How about the rest of the world? That figure is estimated at 2,200,185,341. “Gee Willikers Andy”. I Mean, Brother. Is there Room? What can I say? You do the math. Even 1 1/10th of 1% is a heck of a lot. Yah, there is plenty of room on the internet. Ebay’s estimated worth is somewhere around 70 Billion, BBBB Billion Dollars. You have to understand. Buying online is increasing daily. I don’t think it will ever get saturated.

HOME BASED BUSINESS

Baby Boomers retiring soon. Moms at home wanting to make a little extra income. Dads wanting to tell their Boss, “You Are Fired”. Learning how to start a home based internet business could be just the ticket for you. I know, I know. This kind of business isn’t for every body. But hey. If you just a residual income to help your retirement, or your present job, that would be well worth the effort.

SOME BENEFITS WORKING FROM HOME

MY STORY

Ginny and I have sold jewelry in our own Auction house, Garage sales, Estate Sales, sold on Ebay, on Line, and had our own online Auction.
We are both retired now and want to slow down a little bit. I still want to supplimeant our income with Internet marketing, so I got Ginny to teach me a little about the computer.

COMPUTERS

You see, in my time, growing up as a Baby Boomer I didn’t know what a computer was. Ginny was working for Travis County. At that time they were using punch cards to feed into this Hugh Bank of machines.

A PUNCH CARD?

These old machines took up a lot of space

I told Ginny then, I couldn’t understand why anyone would sit there and punch a bunch of holes in a piece of card board and put it in a machine to tell a machine what to do! Why don’t you just type out what you want. Seemed to me a big wast of time. Of course, I see where that went.
I started to learn some things about the computer a few years ago, but I am still a “babe in the woods” when it comes to the machines and the Internet.

Scams

This is one thing you really have to watch out for. Scams. I have spent hundreds of dollars on Internet Marketing courses that were supposed to teach me how to make money on the Internet. Talk about being scammed, brother, I have had my share.
I suppose in my interest to learn Internet Marketing I was pretty Gullible, and naïve. Expensive lesson. But I was sold on the Internet. With 2 billion people on the internet I just had to take a shot.

INTERNET MARKETING

Today I am trying to help people that are interested in Internet Marketing and want to learn the right way to get into selling online. And NOT get cheated. If you are like me you have learned over time that “all is not what it seems.” Now you can struggle along and learn how to get on Ebay, or become an Amazon Affiliate to sell your items online. If you don’t have a teacher to guide you through setting up accounts, and even getting your own website set up, then you are in for a long arduous journey.

HOW DO YOU GET ON THE NET

Well, like me, you have to learn some where and from some one. I wasn’t born with a computer in the house. I went to school with my Big Chief tablet and a #2 lead pensil. Everything had to be in long hand, and we had to show our work. Especially in math. Didn’t show your work, you got marked down.
Don’t even think about taking a calculator in that class room.

At around 5 or 6 years old today these kids know more about computers than I do. It is just like they were born already programmed to operate a computer.

You hear a lot of people talking about selling online. Some of them are even talking about making big money in online marketing. WOW! Sounds great right? But where do you go to get started selling things online?

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

There are lots and lots of businesses that teach Internet Marketing. You have to be care full of the scamers out there.
The old adage, “Trust but verify,” holds true here. Check every thing out. Read reviews, Google the company name and find out what Google has to say about the business. No matter what they say, don’t be pressured into buying anything, until you have checked their creds (credentials).

WEBSITE

If you are just getting started, or an experienced marketer you need a website and a hosting company to get started learning about Internet marketing.
I work with Wealthy Affiliate. I KNOW! Hear comes the sales pitch.
Not from me Brother. I believe in free and test driving before buying.
