Are you interested in learning about selling books on-line for a profit? If you are looking for a side hustle for yourself or for your favorite non-profit, we have a presentation for you! The Friends of the Northborough Library have raised over $100,000 from on-line sales for the library in the last 19 years, and they are ready to divulge their secrets! How do you find good books to sell? How do you sell them? Amazon vs eBay? How do you figure out the value of the book? This 2-hour session will give you a solid grounding in the basics of online book sales.
Chair of the Friend’s of the Northborough Library Booksale Ellen Church will present. She has been an on-line seller since 2003 and has brought in $76K profit for the Friends. She has worked with a dozen other volunteers who have themselves sold over $32K over the years. She has sold on eBay, Amazon, and other sites, as well as raising money for the Friends with periodic booksales.
