Why I Started Selling Books Online

The website "Successful Home Base Business" interviewed me & “Why did you start selling books online?” was the first question I was asked.

You see, back in 2005 I was looking for the best home-based business I could start and earn a living. I spent nearly a year carrying out in depth research – spending hours on the Internet, in libraries, and buying piles of books on all sorts of small business ideas and opportunities.

Suddenly, a light came on in my head – smack between the eyes! I was buying most of these books online from private individuals. Why not try selling books online myself? That led to more research – on how to build a successful online book selling business.

One reason I was pleased to do the interview is that Successful Home Based Business.com provides exactly the sort of information I was looking for when I was exploring different home-based business ideas. The site wasn’t around at that time, but it’s there now – and it’s a very useful resource.

I'd like to introduce you to the owner of that outstanding website, Stuart Warner. That's him on the right.

His website contains well over a hundred pages of useful information, broadly split into three main categories. First, there’s a section on different small business ideas.

Second, there are success stories and ideas contributed by various readers of the site.

Third, there is a section on ‘Expert Interviews’ – which is where you’ll find my interview. Here’s a link to the entire article: The Successful Home-Based Business – Joe Waynick Interview.

One interesting point about the site is that the editor, Stuart Warner, is a former ‘E-Myth’ business coach. As you may know, The E-Myth by Michael Gerber is one of my all time favorite business books.

I highly recommend the E-Myth. If you’re interested you can buy a copy of The E-Myth Revisited through my online bookstore.
