Today we'll discuss how to create your own auction business. There is an initial cost to this business, but that is limited to the price of your first auction listing.

7 Steps to Create

Your Online

Auction

Business

1) Create a free website from one of the many providers out there. Even Yahoo has one.

2) Sign up for the following free services:
Commission Junction (don't sign up as an incentive site)
Share A Sale
StormPay

3) Apply to be an affiliate of as many advertisers as possible on Commission Junction and Share A Sale.

4) Pick out some interesting product(s) from advertisers you are affiliated with and put links to their product(s) on your free website. Share A Sale has a "Make a Page" function to further facilitate this. Note: unless you like dealing with hackers, stay away from selling electronics or computers.

5) In StormPay Auctions, list your favorite product(s) for free. Use the Buy Now option and make sure to set the price high enough to cover StormPay fees and shipping. Usually a $5 mark-up will do.

6) When you get a buyer, go to your free page and click on the product. Buy it and ship it to your buyer.

7) You will receive a commission check from Share A Sale or Commission Junction once you reach their minimum payouts. Commission Junction is $20, and Share A Sale is $50. You'll probably have to have several successful auctions to reach payout, but you won't have to worry about listing fees!

If you need some additional items to sell on auction, there are liquidation prices if you register at Liquidation.com .

CIAO for now,
