Margin will make you or break you

Buy low, sell high, right?  The only way to make money in business is to bring in more then goes out.

Before you decide to sell something, you need to figure out whether you can make money on it or not.  How much did the product cost to acquire?  How much will it cost to ship?  How much will it cost to package it?  How long will it take to write the listing, take pictures, and drop it in the mail?

You may not know all of this from the start, but pay attention and make sure you’re not spending so much time that you’re earning 12 cents per hour.  You’re worth more than that.

Choose your items wisely and make sure you can earn what you’re worth.
