Make your own instructional DVD to sell on eBay

Amateur How To DVDs are one of the best selling items eBay these days. Instructional DVDs are a good seller because people want to learn how to do just about anything. Learning anything that involves motion or sequence is much easier if done by video. You can create the product once, and sell it over and over again. Duplication is the key to an auto-pilot internet business. Everyone has a skill some specific knowledge that they can share with an audience.

The first step is to decide on the topic for your DVD. Do you know how to do something that you can teach others? Do you cook, garden, sew, repair cars, or groom dogs? Everyone knows something. Your DVD doesn't have to be created and edited by professionals. Ask one of your kids or a neighbor to film you.

Once your DVD has been created, list it on eBay in the Everything Else category under information products. Try different listing formats including fixed price, fixed price with best offer, auction, or store inventory. Price your item competitively. Most How To DVDs sell for between $15.99 and $39.99. Always do your research before settling on a price. Make a few extra copies of your DVD to keep in stock, so you are prepared to ship orders.
