It is really amazing what can be acheived from a small home office. The path to our success has led us to a skill of getting people to come to our websites and then ask us for the products we sell.

We like Christine have long given up chasing after suppliers and customers. Come take a look a the Renegade Marketing System we use. www.littlegraycells.ca might just be what it takes to put a smile on your face again and see the same kind of success Christine is obviously having online.

PS: It is not about the books, it is about how Christine treats her customers and suppliers that really maters at the end of the day.

As per the other commenters…. Inspirational.

I have over the last 12 months sold ebooks through ebay and not done to badly, but this story blew me away, I thought only the bigger companies could stand to turn a profit online selling books. As you commented, it’s a very competitive market.

I stumbled across this blog. I work at home as a medical transcriptionist. This book selling online sounds very interesting. I always wondered how people make money on Amazon….I figured selling books there might add up to chump change but never thought it could be “big” business. Very interesting. I’m going to read up about this even more. Thanks for a really interesting blog.

[…] Fellow blogger and all around good guy Steve has a post on his blog from his wife, Christine who is an online bookseller. She sells new and remaindered books but is on track to gross $120,000 this year. The post has some great pictures of her workspace and shipping area ( I love seeing other peoples work space!). She blogged about her business before and promises to again. If you would, leave a comment or two over there so she knows we want more articles like this. […]

I ran an online used book business for five years. I linked to your article in my blog, which is a support site for work at home moms. Thanks for the great info.

Refreshing story Christine and a inspiration story for anyone working at home.

Many people are amazed at the markets they can be successful in.

I have a friend who is very succesfull in business and his mantra is find where the competition is and don’t afraid to compete.

If there was no competition there is no money in this. I myself have been trying to work at home finding niches and coming to realize he is right.

A struggling entrepreneur, keep up the great work Christine

Christine has a great story in many ways. She was able to fulfill her desire to work from home, she makes good money doing it, and she gets to apply the previous experience she had to something she seems to enjoy.

In the beginning no body thought Amazon would make it either. Sell books online? That’s crazy. With the internet, no one will read books any more, um
not true.

It appears we can learn a lot from books, as well as the business of books.
