  Quotes:

"If an item isn't selling fairly fast, then it usually means that there's a marketing problem on your side that you must fix."

"...when I first started, before I knew anything about flipping PERIOD, it took me 2-3 months of just kind of half-assing it to get to $500 per month with just a couple hours per week. So I was basically starting out total beginner, you know, going really slow, barely doing it and forgetting about it. Just randomly trying it here and there."

"...by month two or three I was making $500/month consistently after that. And then obviously it continued to scale...."

"I'd say a good guideline, as a beginner -- you could get to $500 per month very quickly and very easily. I'm not going to talk too much about how easy it is to get to $500 per month -- it's ridiculous."

"If items are taking forever to sell or not selling it's always one of these things: it could be your pictures need work. You've got poor pictures. Or it means your description needs work. It's not compelling enough. It's not selling the item hard enough. Or your price could be way off. But usually I save price for last because if you're good, you can sell fast and for high -- with good marketing."

"Once you create a killer ad that sells like crazy for an item -- you must expose it to thousands of people. At that point, all it takes is just one person. One person to raise their hand and say, "Oh my God! I've ben looking for that trumpet since I was little, I want to buy it! When can I pick it up?! I'll even pay you $400 if you save it for me!" That's all it takes."
