Great Things That Comes in Fours: Freedom, Fun, Fans and Frenzy




My focus is online selling. If you read my other blogs in the challenge, I’ve been working on creating an online course about selling on Amazon, eBay and Craig’s List, what I call the Big 3. Well number four is donate, because if it doesn’t sell, take the item and move it on! When you have a plan of attack in selling, then that gives you freedom. You are your own boss. You set the price, you list it, you ship it. It’s all in when you want to do it and for how long you keep it online in front of buyers before letting it go.

The second F word in my list is: FUN, F U N! If it’s not fun, don’t do it. If you have a least favorite part of selling online, get someone else to do it for you. Maybe a friend or a spouse or a kid in the neighborhood. It has to be fun or forget about it! It’s fun receiving money for unwanted items! There is no getting around it! Keep it FUN!

If you do your selling right and use best practices, you will earn some FANS! Repeat buyers is the name of the game. Do you have the most of an item or niche? Will folks come back for more because of your excellent customer service or awesome prices or even your outstanding packing ability in shipping? Get those fans and try to keep ‘em!

Create a frenzy! What’s more fun that that? Post a tweet or post a pic on Instagram. Ask a question or show a pic that get’s them excited or even MAD. Whatever it takes, the name of the game is excitement in your products or change what you are selling. Boring is well, plain boring. Liven it up with sales, promotions and a frenzy will build if you stick to a solid game plan! Plan for the season ahead and be ready for back to school or a certain holiday before your competition!


Freedom, Fun, Fans and Frenzy! There is a lot of power in those four F words! Now get out there and make it happen!

  2. Ah, I like the four F's, for me the fun part of what I do is creating the product, the least fun part is the paperwork, keeping track of sales and such. As for Fans and Frenzy, I am trying to branch out and get noticed on different forums to gather some fans and frenzy!

    1. Vicki: I love the business of business and hate the actual doing of the business of business. Get to love the numbers, they are the weather report. I've learned to love them.
