WARNING!! If you came to this website in search of a “Silver Bullet” for how to teach your kids to make millions on eBay®, please click your back button and look elsewhere.
Hi. I’m Susan Whitehead, a homeschool mom living on a small farm amongst the cotton and sweet potato fields and I have something I’d like to share with you!
Like many families today, our family has had “lean times” where we’ve needed just a little extra income to make sure all our “ends” met. One month, our minivan unexpectedly needed several hundred dollars of work.
OUCH!!
Another month, we had what we thought was a dry well (a 4 figure problem), but instead we ended up having to replace the pump.
OUCH OUCH!!
And another month, we discovered that the duct work for the heating/cooling system under our house wasn’t sealed properly and we had to replace it all.
OUCH!! OUCH!! OUCH!!
In times like these, our family has been able to pull through financially by selling some unwanted or under used items on eBay®. My knowing how to sell things on this online auction site has been a tremendous blessing to our family…and not just financially!
Our family has amassed SO much stuff over the years that it is not even funny. It has been very gratifying to PURGE stuff from our house AND make money doing so.
When I started letting people know that I knew how to sell on eBay®, I was shocked to find out how many people had never sold anything on this site. I didn’t really give much thought to it until these people starting asking me to show them how to do it.
At the time, I didn’t have enough room in my schedule to carve out several hours to spend with each friend to show them what I new. But before I tell you about why I created this course, let me share a little bit about how it all got started…
Susan, You have taken the mystery out of eBay, made it simple and easy for anyone to understand and given us a tool for teaching real life skills to our children. Thanks and way to go Auction Mommy! Kim Eskola- www.CanDoMom.com |
Back in the late summer of 1998, I was a new mom to a precious baby girl, Joy. She was the light of my days and I was so blessed to be her Mommy. Once the sleep deprivation that comes with newborns wore off, the reality of taking care of and raising a child soon set in.
Diapers were expensive! Pacifiers were expensive and we couldn’t seem to hold on to one for more than about a week! Clothes were expensive, too, and this precious bundle was growing faster than a sunflower in the Kansas plains!
My husband and I were blessed with many friends and family who had VERY good taste in children’s clothing and gave us very nice baby gifts. But what was I supposed to do with all these cute little outfits when Joy outgrew them? I’d heard of this website that let you sell your stuff at auction and I looked into it.
On August 28, 1998, I signed up for my very first eBay® ID.
The very first item I sold was a 5 piece Baby Gap Outfit, size 3-6m.
It sold for about $15 and I was HOOKED!
In the years to come, I learned so much about selling on this auction website. I used to take photos with my mini webcam (I had to hold it in one hand and click a button on the keyboard with the other WITHOUT MOVING to snap the picture…that camera was not even 1 Megapixel…probably more like 100 pixels!).
Now I’m using an 8 Megapixel camera with a tripod, lighting and backdrop.
I’ve also lost a lot of money by not listing my items correctly. I can’t tell you how many people got some REALLY good deals on my stuff! Ugh!
Now I know how to research every item and KNOW that my items will sell, before I even list them.
Way back in the beginning, I didn’t really care much about feedback and used to leave feedback that looked kind of like this:
Positive: LOVED IT!! Thanks! Great EBAYER! A++++++++++++
Now I realize how valuable feedback is and how important it can be to a successful auction.
But back to why I created this course…
Back in September 2007, I was working with my mentor and she was coming to my area on a business trip. On about a week’s notice, we threw together an eBay® workshop and had a great turnout. We actually had one family fly in just for the event! No pressure for my first workshop! :o)
Unfortunately, the event was on such short notice that many of the families that had wanted to attend were not able to because of prior commitment. Soon the word got out that a homeschool mom knew how to sell on eBay® and was willing to share what she knew with others.
Both before AND after the event, the emails and phone calls came pouring in asking me when I was going to do another workshop. Or could I come teach at a local homeschool group. Or could I come and teach a family of teens at someone’s home. To say I was flattered is an understatement!
But life as a wife, homeschool mom of 4, volunteer, cook, housekeeper, etc. is FULL. Add into that a husband who commutes 25+ miles each way to work everyday and gets home after dark, and you get very little time to spend outside the home to teach people how to sell on eBay®.
I turned down all the invitations to teach because I didn’t feel like the timing was right to spend my “free time” away from my family.
Over the following months, I took the outline I had created for the workshop and began planning out a series of videos that walk you through every step I take when creating an auction listing all the way through shipping each item. Then I planned out how I was going to record these videos and get them into a format that was easy for anyone to use. Finally, after receiving several more emails from homeschool families wanting to add some extra (or not so extra) income to their family’s budget, I made creating the videos a top priority.
I am on video 6, and I really like the way you break down a concept like “html” that I have had absolutely no experience with and explain it in such a way that I now have the confidence to go ahead and try it.I was considering purchasing a more expense eBay course, but I am glad that I waited for yours. I feel like it gives me just enough to get me going without overwhelming me with too much information.I also, really like the tables you created for the Listing Research and the Cost Analysis. I tried to create the tables on my own with limited experience, but I have a great deal of confidence in my being able to use what you created. Thanks for such a great product. –Kellee Metz from Minnesota |
So what’s in these videos?
You’ll learn…
- The fastest and cheapest way to build buyer trust without violating eBay® Terms of Service
- What words you MUST put in your Auction Title if you want to turn a profit
- How to use FREE tools and websites to shave SERIOUS CASH off your listing expenses
- That creating nice looking listings is much EASIER than you think
- And more…
I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t LOVE to have a teen with their own business!
One of the things I love most about eBay® is that it is one of the cheapest ways to start a business. If you follow a simple plan, you can have cash in your bank account in about a week’s time. There aren’t many businesses or jobs, for that matter, that can do that! Not only that, but this type of online business can help your family CLEAR OUT THE CLUTTER from your basement, attic, spare room, garage and wherever you stash all that “stuff” that you’ve promised yourself you’d “get to one day.”
I’ve even begun teaching Joy (the baby whose clothes I sold on eBay®) how to harness the power of the internet to make money with less effort than getting a part time job at the local fast food joint. She was born with an entrepreneurial “bend” to her and online businesses are a simple way for her to learn simple business management skills without encroaching into everyday life like delivering papers, mowing lawns or babysitting can. These jobs are fine, don’t get me wrong, but I like the safety of her working at home, under the guidance and protection of her father and I.
Times are changing and since we are the primary ones in charge of her education, we want to do everything we can to ensure that the education she gets truly prepares her for the world that awaits her when she leaves our nest.
Now, at the top of this page, I told you that if you were looking for a “Silver Bullet” to teach your sons and daughters how to become millionaires overnight using eBay®, I am NOT the person to help you. Listing and selling on eBay® is work. For me, it’s fun and I enjoy it, but it does take time there is a learning curve.
This course will:
- cut your learning curve by months by eliminating the “trial and error” approach
- save you tons of money on wasted fees and lost profits trying to sell something that no one is buying
- prevent hours of frustration, scratching your head, trying to figure out why your auctions close without any bids
- give your children the confidence to start other businesses and online ventures
- and more…
Here’s what’s inside…

So, after all this, I bet you’re thinking, “Well, I’m getting near the bottom of the website and now she’s going to tell me that I’m going to have to get a second mortgage to get this course for my family.”Well, you can put those thoughts out of your mind. Remember, I am not a professional eBay® “guru”… I am a stay at home who happens to know a lot about selling on eBay®.
Also in this course, your family will learn:
- How get the US Postal Service to work for YOU
- Advanced strategies on how to use eBay® to grow any online or offline business
- About a free part of every eBay® account that allows you to promote ANY website you want
- How to use a Classified Ad in ways you wouldn’t normally consider
I wanted to make sure that when I created this course, it was within reach financially of almost all homeschooling families. If you search online, you’ll find most digital books and courses run in the $100 price range. I have purchased some of these products and the tips and techniques I have learned in them were well worth the price.
If I can pay $100 for something and make $500 from what I learned, was it worth it? Yes…a 500% return on my educational investment IS worth it.
But you can breathe easy because this is not going to cost you $100.
You can grab your copy of this HUGE 7 Video course AND Homeschool Unit Study Guide with Charts and you can start learning how to sell on eBay with your children for only $37.
WAIT!
Since we had such a tremendous response to our initial promotion,
I am going to keep the price at only $27!
But this is only for a limited time. I can’t promise
that the price will be the same if you come back tomorrow!
