This market is so exciting and so underserved that the possibilities are endless!  And even better, this method of making money on eBay is based on your local area - which means that the competition is kept to a minimum.

What is this area that has plenty of room for growth?

It's called a Business Trading Assistant.

A Business Trading Assistant is basically an eBay seller who makes a living selling products for local BUSINESSES.

Yesterday, we talked about eBay Trading Assistants - people who sell products for other PEOPLE.

A Business Trading Assistant takes the conceptof Trading Assistant and does it one better.

Why?

A Trading Assistant business depends on selling the inventory of individuals - and while this is also a viable business option, a Business Trading Assistant gets their inventory from local businesses. 

Businesses who have an unending supply of inventory to offer, which means a steady supply of inventory!

In fact, right now, there are millions of dollars of unsold  inventory sitting in the warehouses of your local stores.

There are many small and mid-size companies in your local city or neighboring city (if you live in a small town) with excess inventory to sell.

These businesses can be as small as the Glassware shop in your town that imports unique pieces from Europe to the company that recycles usable computer equipment and may have several locations.

The majority of these companies have never thought about selling their inventory (excess or regular stock) on eBay.

In fact, many of these companies are just now starting to become aware of eBay.

Companies are always looking for ways to increase their revenues, generate new customers, and broaden their exposure to the marketplace.

And that's where you come in!

By approaching a business to see if you can sell their excess or current inventory for a part of the profits, you have immediate access to profiting through THEIR buying power and THEIR vendor sources.

Here are 3 ways you can build a business as a Business Trading Assistant:

- The first business model is to contract with a local company to be their Business Trading Assistant. You would be the person who sets up their eBay store and auctions. Then you handle the selling of their product lines on eBay for a commission on everything you sell.

- A second business model is to position yourself as the person who can take the excess inventory off their hands by buying it outright for a flat fee.

In this instance, you would be acting as a close-out company for the local business.

- The 3rd method is to charge a flat fee to teach a companyhow to set up an eBay ID and eBay store, and then teach THEIR employees how to sell the company's products on eBay.

Each of these models can prove to be very lucrative. In fact, with scenario's number 1 and 2, all you would need would be a few regular clients to easily turn this strategy into a full time income.

The exciting thing about this idea is that once word gets out among the businesses in your community - that YOU came in and started generating an extra stream of revenue for them, or maybe even an entire new division of revenue, word will get around fast.

YOU will have more business than you know what to do with!

There is a tremendous opportunity in the Business Trading Assistant Arena.
