<p>I&#8217;m not the only one who thinks that there is more to building a successful eBay business than eBay itself.</p>
<p>Jim Cockrum over at My-Silent-Team (<a href="http://www.My-Silent-Team.com">http://www.My-Silent-Team.com</a>) mentioned in his last newsletter that eBay is no longer enough&#8230; and I couldn&#8217;t agree more! Not only are other options for selling items becoming more and more popular for BUYERS (craigslist, amazon, and more)&#8230; but, if you really want to grow your business &#8211; you have to view eBay as a TOOL for your business not the actual business itself.</p>
<p>Sure, you can sell on eBay and make some money with the items you are selling &#8212; and many are doing quite well with this model still; however, many sellers are frustrated with the control eBay has over them as a seller and are looking to grow beyond just selling. Plus &#8211; it is always a good idea to NOT have all your eggs in one basket.</p>
<p>This is no surprise &#8211; I&#8217;ve been talking about this for a long time. In fact, my <a href="http://www.StartHereProgram.com/blogging">Start Here Program</a> is designed to help you move beyond eBay and into gaining more CONTROL over your business. (You can learn more about the Start Here Program here &#8211; as of this writing, there are still a few Charter memberships available.)</p>
<p>I also cannot say enough about Jim Cockrum and the information he provides. Almost 7 years ago I stumbled on his Silent Sales Machine ebook and it completely changed the way I view my eBay business&#8230; I have never looked back! You can sign up for Jim&#8217;s free newsletter <a href="http://www.My-Silent-Team.com"><strong>HERE</strong></a> &#8211; top right corner. You can also look at his archive&#8230; including his take on eBay not being enough anymore.</p>
