Do you sell online or want to?

If you do then this is a must read book.
Cashvertising by Drew Eric Whitman.
You need two things when building your online empire. You need to get traffic to your site and you need to convert that traffic to sales.
The stuff in this book is priceless for both.

I used to sell stuff on ebay. It was a cool experience. Made some money. Nothing to write home about.
It would be cool if you could automate the process. Batch post ads. Ship from a 3rd party instead of having to keep stock on hand.

You can, it's called dropshipping. You advertise the product and it's sent directly from the supplier / dropshipper to your customer. Obviously has hassles associated as you have no control over their stock levels, delivery times etc.

I prefer Amazon these days, I have 8 Amazon accounts that I dropship with. The fees are higher than Ebay, but it's much lower maintenance, and you can pull the wool over your customer's eyes easier
