So you’re starting your eBay business? That’s awesome. And as I’ve said many times before, I think that eBay is the fastest and easiest way to get started selling online. No other website can even touch the $60 billion marketplace that is eBay.

However, what many beginners forget is that in order to be successful online, you can’t be a lone ranger. Sure you can run a successful eBay business from your home, but if you’re in business, you’ll have to connect with other businesses. To get the maximum profits, it’s likely that you’ll have to deal with other big businesses that aren’t home based.

The best way to get what you want in life is to help other people get what they want. From the moment you start your business, you need to remember that you are only in business as long as you’re helping your customers. What’s the quickest way to see if you’re helping enough people? Check how much money you have in your bank account. If your bank balance is low, then you’re not helping many people. If you want to grow your bank balance, you need to help more people.

So what’s the best way to help and connect with people? Get out there. Talk to local store owners. Go to business luncheons in your community. Carry your business cards around with you everywhere. Let everyone know that you sell on eBay, not just friends and family.

The more people you connect with in your community, the more opportunities you’ll have to help them (and for them to help you too!). Start to think about who you could help. Are there small businesses that need to sell their excess inventory? Are there businesses that want to start selling online? What about individuals who want to clear out their attic or sell some antiques? When you start connecting with other people, you’ll see opportunities all around you.

So what’s the bottom line? The more connections you have, the more people you help. The more people you help, the more successful you’ll become.
