Short Description

Corporate ladder-climbers gave way to a sea of entrepreneurs. In the 1990s, millions of Americans turned to business ownership, first as a way to pay the mortgage between jobs. But these “accidental entrepreneurs” (as I call them) discovered they loved being in charge of their own destinies
and never looked back. And an entrepreneurial revolution was born!
Fueling this revolution was technology, which had become smaller, more affordable and much easier to use. Entrepreneurs (who needed every advantage they could find) embraced technology, which helped them start, grow and innovate for less money than they ever thought possible. E-commerce became an accepted (and welcomed) way of doing business.
Soon, the business owners who had started these small, often homebased companies found they needed help. So they started hiring. The people they hired started spending money in their communities, leaving local entrepreneurs in need of more help. So they started hiring. And so the cycle went. By the time we got to the end of the 1990s, it turned out that entrepreneurs had created most of the jobs (75 percent) and innovations (55 percent) in the entire decade.
And that trend continues today—only it’s even easier to start a business in this century. Often, all it takes is something to sell and a way to sell it. And for hundreds of thousands, eBay® has become that way. This booklet is filled with tips and ideas you can use right now to start (or grow) a business on eBay.
