While I have been at this for a few months now. This is the first post in the blog about what we are going to call “The Journey”.

We started trying to make some income with the internet several months ago with eBay. I thought this would be a good starting point to get a little cash flow coming in to carry us while we were getting started. This didn’t turn out to be as easy (or as profitable) as I had thought it would be. I wanted something that could be an ongoing, repeatable source of income. Wanting to do this with little (if any) initial cash outlay, we eventually decided that finding a couple products that we could market via drop shipping would be the best path to take.

After a month or so of researching products and vendors, it became apparent to me that it would be very difficult to make any significant profit working in this area. Maybe it can be done, but I spent much time and effort and was very thorough in the research that I did! Almost any product that I could find was already being sold on eBay at a price that was too low for a profit to be made. Sometimes they were even being sold for LESS than what I could even buy them for!

We still dabble in eBay and it may be something that we will “add-on” to the other efforts that we are now working on. While this didn’t work out (no regular income coming in from it), at least we were “on the road”. We had begun our journey with our internet business.
