in $100 Challenge, General: Making Money Stuff

featured-comment.jpgI love comments. People’s feedback help me to improve this blog – and my other ideas. So, every now and then, I like featuring some outstanding comments from JMMO readers like this one from Regan Ware on the $100 Challenge

Hey Shai,

I love this idea, it has so much potential on the teaching/coaching side. I started a mini challenge with my dad, I called it gBay – from garage sales to ebay. We had to go and buy things from garage sales and sell them on ebay to make a profit. I made made -$1.50, but learnt so much (we had to put it on hold due to personal reasons).

I would not have thought about challenging myself if it wasn’t for your blog, I can’t wait for your next challenge to start!! I love reading your stuff it’s so inspiring. Take care. (~ from this post)

Other than Regan’s kind words, what I like about this comment is the story of taking on one of my challenges and turning it in to a real activity – a move towards trying to make money online. And, I really, really like Regan’s idea of making money off garage sale finds.

Again, thanks Regan. I really appreciate your comment. And, I’m hoping to start another $100 Challenge some time.

Hi Shai,
Great idea for a challenge. You definitely can learn so much from selling items on eBay.

You can test out your marketing strategies & find out if making simple changes to your auction wording or setout style makes a difference in your sales.

Gaida: Indeed! I’ve definitely gained a lot of understanding in the online market through selling on eBay. Thanks for stopping by to say hello!
