Once you've figured out a specific niche for yourself, establish yourself as an expert seller:

1) Publish in your field. If you're interested in a product or service, you probably have lots to say about it.

This will set you up as a subject expert and will make more people turn to you for their buying needs.

2) Set up an online presence. Set up a blog, web site, or other online presence where you can talk about your specific subject and products. It not only gives you another place to sell your products, but gives you an online space where you can make use of affiliate marketing and Google Adsense to make even more money. Plus, now that you're an expert in the specific field, each of your income streams will play off each other. EBay buyers may come to your web site and buy more and web site viewers may go to your eBay auctions to bid on your products. The bottom line? You get more cash.
