Hello everyone.  In this episode, I talk about email marketing and the top 10 tools you can use to increase your sales.

While some of them are cost prohibitive, this episode should get you thinking on what you can do to make eBay customers your customers.

Happy listening.

Hey, we are fine after Hurricane Ian; no loss of life nor INVENTORY!

In this episode, I talk about the habits you need to have to improve your success in reselling.  Although these habits were originally written for traditional entrepreneurs, I tie them into habits needed for resellers.

I also apologize for being too slow on this episode; as you can imagine,  running two separate businesses has its downside...time management should be the 13th habit!

Happy listening, and as always,...

In today's episode, I connect with Jessica Macera from Business Dynamix Solutions in Naples Florida, and talk about their services for resellers.

Many bookkeeping agencies provide resellers with services, but coupled with fulfillment services, I see this as a game changer for my business.

The website for BDS is https://businessconsultinghelp.com/.  Check it out.

We had to rearrange a few things since our special guest had a last-minute issue she had to deal with.  So I recorded next week's podcast this week.

Today I talk about 9 challenges resellers struggle with and how to fix them.  It is adapted from a talk I attended where the speaker was speaking about ALL small businesses, but I think it applies to us as well.

1. Finding Customers
2. Increasing Brand Awaren...

Hello to you all.

Today I talk about the levers in your reselling business.  Now I've talked about these before but I want to offer a summation for many of you because I receive many questions about the levers in your business.

Running a successful reselling business requires you to master these levers.  While there are many more, I focus on the following:

  • Space
  • Movement
  • Time
  • Money
  • Shipping - Making it not cos...

Hello all, it has been 3 months since we last spoke.  I am relaunching this podcast because I realized that I missed it!

Funny enough, many new listeners didn't realize that I stopped recording.  I still get emails almost daily from you asking questions and seeking advice.  Keep the questions coming but my new email (well my old-new email) is mike@sparklerdesign.com.

All OFM listeners.  If you've been listening for any length of time, you probably are aware that I also have another business where I develop software for others.  What I have not talked about too much is my software brainchild, SparklerCRM (https://sparklercrm.com), which is an email marketing platform.

UPDATE:  I think I just need a breather.  I have realized that creating this last episode and realizing it was my l...

In this episode, I go over updates with me and eBay.  I've also decided that I won't be promoting any sponsors for this podcast, no reason other than I am really focusing on other areas for this show.

Thanks and hope to hear from you.

In this episode I go over the results of my store review with a veteran reseller, the Auction Professor, on his Patreon site.  It was not all good either!  I need to check my ego at the door for this episode but his feedback was good and I'm implementing new things because of it.

This move has been an eye opener.  There is an algorithm and I felt the effects.  In this short and panicked episode, you can hear the stress in my voice.  But I'm up and running and things will hopefully get back to normal.
