I hope you have your agenda completed for eBay Live! in Chicago. I'll be speaking each day and hope you'll attend my classes and introduce yourself. Here's my schedule:
Picking a Niche and Pricing for Profit Thursday, 12:30 to 2:00 PM
I'll be presenting this along with Lisa Suttora from WhatDoISell.com, and former Director of Community and Education for Doba, Mikal Belicove.
Here's the description:
eBay sellers often wonder what they should sell, and how to sell it for a profit. Knowing the answers to these two questions is vital to the success of every online retailer. In this seminar, you will learn how to answer these questions for themselves as we share tips and techniques employed by top-selling eBay sellers and successful online businesses worldwide. Specifically, you'll learn: How to pick a profitable specialty niche, how to increase the passion for their online business, why we might see a "retail" price cheaper than "wholesale" and why creative marketing is more important than competitive pricing.

Mikal Belicove and I presented this last year to a packed room. We've freshened it up for this year and will present it twice. Friday, 1:00 - 2:30 PM and Saturday, 3:00 - 4:30 PM.
Here is what we'll cover the blogging seminar:
