Profitable Internet Income:Selling Books with Amazon
Selling Books Online
I have found a way to earn a living online.
I started trying to make money off the internet about five years ago.
I started out by getting suckered into the "get rich quick" schemes, and paying the $39.95 up front fees that went along with them, with absolutely no results..... of course!
It was on a Saturday about three years ago that I was having a garage sale. I had a pile of books for sale. A fellow came up and said, " You know, you ought to list that pile of books for sale on the internet at Amazon.com". I thanked him for his advice, and he went on his way.
About six months later, I came across a huge pile of books sitting on the side of the road, and remembered the guy's advice. I took the books, cleaned them up nicely and sat down at my computer. I was still quite skeptical, what with all the Kindle options, I figured that books were becoming extinct.
Wow, was I as wrong as I could be.... So listen up, cause this is the part that gets important.
I already had an Amazon sellers account as a shopper, so I only had to click on a button to instantly become a seller. 'Selling on Amazon' is a program that enables people to sell their products and inventory on Amazon.
Now, I chose to list books, but that's not what I was limited to selling. I was able to sign up to sell items in the following categories: Books, CD and Vinyl, DVD, Video/VHS, Baby, Beauty, Camera & Photo, Electronics, Grocery & Gourmet Food, Health & Personal Care, Home & Garden, Musical Instruments, Office Products, Personal Computers, Software, Sports & Outdoors, Toys & Games, Tools & Hardware, Video Games and Wireless Antennas & Boosters!
I signed up in November 2010, right before the Christmas Holidays. I could not believe my eyes! Within ONE WEEK I made over $1000 in sales! I printed the postage directly off the Amazon website, then packaged the books and dropped them off at the post office. It was that simple.

How I Got Paid:
Amazon Services first settled my account 21 days after I registered with Seller Central. Subsequently, the settlement process repeats every 7 days. Each automatic weekly disbursement reflects the net proceeds for orders I confirmed as shipped between 14 and 21 days prior to the disbursement date. Selling on Amazon worked for me and still does. It's easy, efficient, and lucrative.
