Auctions for Income

Assignment #1

Why didn’t I think of that? After seeing what has been done by the creator of Auctions for Income, DaveEspino, I asked myself that very question. Auctions for Income is a simple program to teach people how to use eBay with a competitive advantage. Dave saw the opportunity right before him; he took it upon himself to connect people to what has become one of the largest online retailers.

The Internet has become a vital component of business and Espino saw this as an opportunity to make money. Along with the Internet growth, eBay is an online auction site which allows selling and purchasing of goods and has also risen to a frequently used program. Dave Espino saw an importance in staying up-to-date with technology, and created an opportunity for himself by combining basic business practices with applied technology. A step in thinking outside the box landed him a future of providing people with the tools they need to succeed in a growing industry.

As noted in the commercial, Dave Espino has become “one of eBay’s highest profile powersellers”. His program gives people the knowledge they need to make the money they want. The program opens the door for an average person to learn everything about selling on eBay. Auction for Income has a competitive advantage in the service offered due to the increasing desire for the American population to keep up with technological changes.

Dave’s program makes it easy to become acclimated to the site itself in order to maximize profit potential. The entire system includes a start up assistance, guide books, DVDs for selecting and listing the most profitable products. The system also makes it easy to deal with the logistics collecting money and accessing a support site.By using a simplified method to make money on the Internet, Espino not only gains the attention of consumers but he also ensures the satisfaction of their results because of the program. In addition, it’s not a program that requires a lot of time or effort which is also a favorable trait. The retailing business is driven by customer satisfaction and he attempts to make that possible in solving their problems.

Auctions for Income is a prime example of how important Internet use has become and is now a trendsetter for entrepreneurs in the future. In seeking future opportunities, having the ability to incorporate business basics and Internettechnology is essential. Dave Espino has taken a step toward educating our population and pushed to close the gap on Internet ignorance.
