I’ve sold stuff off and on over the years on eBay. I had these grand ideas of making millions, but never really got around to it. I always wanted one of those deals where you sell stuff from China and it is drop shipped and you never even see it. Like those silly commercials for SMC with Tom Bosley I could just never figure out how to make any money buying something for five dollars and selling it for ten-since no one seemed to want to pay the five for it to start with.

I’ve read blog posts that talk about small, but steady streams of income. I’ve learned to write a pretty mean Adwords ad that gets a few clicks. I’ve even found the occasional odd little keyword that I can get for five cents and still get a click with. Just a couple of small problems.Problem One, the percentage of people buying stuff is so damned small that I am…
