Hi Ed WeBBers,

I hate those ‘country-side’ type programs you see on TV…in fact, I hate them almost as much as that awful ‘Heartbeat’ program…

I always see a has-been newsreader presenting something about cows in a field in Somerset – and then I’m lost…

And I promptly move on to YouTube.

But one particular program recently caught my eye – probably because it had a business slant to it.

It was all about a new ‘farmer’ – a previous corporate drone – who’d moved himself and his family to the country to escape the ‘rat race’.

Ed…you can`t blame the farmer, i mean there`s probably no money in racing rats?

DORIS…how can you say that, if that’s the case then why are some of them sponsored by Adidas, you must have seen them wearing the numbered vests?

AHH WELL..Back to our farmer…

NOW this decision created just one problem – he HAD to make this farm work, or he’d be bust.

OK, so that’s a similar position to most people, but they certainly put a ‘spin’ on it for the purpose of entertainment…

And there was more…

Problem ‘numero duo’ was that he only had a few hundred sheep – nowhere near enough to sustain a family.

So, he had to start ‘thinking outside of the box’ (my words – not his!).

I have to say – he came up with a good…very good…idea.

To separate himself from the competition.

In short, he decide to take some of the sheep’s wool, and add his OWN label/name to it (‘private- labelling’) and ‘Bob’s your uncle’…he had his own, differentiated product offering.

Anyway its a great idea – although he subsequently ‘canned it’ in favour of some over-priced duvet idea, which appeared to be going nowhere as the program came to an end.

Of course, you may have heard me ‘discuss’ the ‘private-label’ business before.

Simply, it involves taking a product and adding your OWN label to it. The benefits are numerous -mainly, you have your ‘own’ product which you competition can’t ‘steal’ in any way. Also, the margins in this kind of business can be huge – partly because, again, you entirely control the product/pricing.

But the ‘private-label’ business isn’t my

Actually that’s the business model to my product, “Skincare Profits Auction Goldmine” a very powerful tool to success!

BUT,that’s not my point for the day…

My real point relates to ‘adding value’ and ‘thinking outside the box’.

Our farmer didn’t go into this business and start doing what every farmer does – rather, he thought a bit differently from the CROWD.

And that’s what I encourage you to do, too – think a bit differently when thinking about selling products on eBay.

Don’t follow the ‘crowd’ – when you do, you are usually heading for average results at best.

Rather, think about how you can ‘add value’ (a rather loose term but there we go!) and how you can do what other people aren’t doing.

Sure, this is a bit vague – but that’s precisely because it has to be!

Your OWN ‘thinking outside of the box’ has

to be unique and individual to the niche you’re operating in.

Are you thinking outside of the box…or just following the other farmers?

WELL,for now i`m thinking inside of a book..
