Me in the News

Recently, the 2007 State New Economy Index, a major study performed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, ranked Utah # 1 in the country for “economic dynamism” and I put in my $0.02 about some of the challenges and opportunities that Doba has faced and seen in

As I continue my whirlwind travel schedule I find myself in Boston this week for the 5th annual eBay Live event that starts tomorrow.
For the past 2 years I’ve been involved in a panel presentation that covers the basics on how to find products to sell on eBay.

PeSA Spring 2007 Summit
I had the opportunity 2 weeks ago to speak on a panel about Product Sourcing Strategies at PeSA’s (Professional eBay Sellers Alliance) Spring 2007 Summit in Chicago.

Is Drop Shipping Right For Me?
Since my company is deeply involved in the drop shipping space, one of the questions I’m often asked by other entrepreneurs is this… “Is drop shipping really the right strategy for my business?” Honestly, I tell them, that all depends; drop shipping isn’t for everyone.
