I am interested in the ebay thing myself as another income stream but as you said you have to find something that can be sold over again. Any ideas?

That way you can spend hours and hours working on it, but not feel like you are doing hard work. You'll also not be inclined to give up before it starts paying off. If you are building up something you love to do, you won't lose your momentum and you will continue far enough for it to take on a life of it's own, so you can then apply your efforts to another site. It does work, it's like planting a seed and watering it everyday until it starts to grow.

You know perhaps better than me that getting a web into such stage can be a lot of hard work without guaranteed result. But sure, once it clicks in, it is more or less a smooth sailing from there.

I try to get my family into ebay to no avail. I guess they are all security people.

I never looked at it from this security / freedom point of view but it does make lot of sense to me. Oh yes I also went through that ebay stage and have exactly the same experiences as you describe (although with a different product of course). Imho ebay is a great starting point but anyone who wants to make a living from it must do it full time. Same as any other business idea i guess. There hardly are any shortcuts on the way to success :) Great article. I never looked at it from this security / freedom point of view but it does make lot of sense to me.
