How to Find Great Books to Sell Online

Filed under: Home-Based-Business — Jason Clegg @ 7:45 pm

I remember the challenge of selling books online when I started out while still a student in college. The first few times I visited a thrift store, I had no idea what to look for or how to begin. At that time, I simply applied as much of my general knowledge of books as possible.

Here were a few easy rules I did follow:

1) Avoid virtually *all* mass market paperback books. (These typically only sell for pennies… literally).

2) Accept books in good to excellent condition only!

3) Search for obscure titles, especially nonfiction (for example, a text on Agroecology).

With these rules, I could typically sell about 50-65% of the books I purchased.

All of that changed when I moved to ScoutPal. The change in my business finances was dramatic. Now, I could insure that a book would sell just by checking its ISBN through my cell phone. No more guess work. My ‘picking rate’ increased to over 90%. Not only was I making more money and spending less, I now had much better control over my inventory purchases.

ScoutPal simplifies the process for online booksellers, while enhancing the bottom-line. If you have not had the chance to check out their website, do so today at www.scoutpal.com - you’ll be glad you did!
