product line and sell many variations on that product, such as
different colors or sizes of clothing.
● Creating a sales template is essential to selling a large volume of
merchandise; it frees you from having to enter the same information
every time you want to create a sale.
● It can be easier to sell clothing online than through a brick-andmortar
store because less time is involved.
● The one-time expense of hiring a designer to make your store look
professional will pay off for years to come.
● If you obtain bulk supplies from a wholesaler, ask that supplier for
stock photos you can use in your descriptions, to reduce your own
photography load.
● Expect to research different product lines constantly to cope with
increased competition on eBay.
● Trade shows are an excellent place to check out new sources of
merchandise and meet manufacturers and wholesalers.
● In order to make money, you have to spend money; try to take out
a loan or be open to using your credit card in order to purchase your
initial stock. Then turn around the sales quickly so you can pay the
loan off without incurring interest.
