One of Our Favorite Videos
There are subtle undertones in this video that relate to what we see in many organizations. Often dead set in their direction without willingness to step back and survey the entire situation - many organizations march down a path that leads to, well you'll see in the video below.
Let us help you see clearly and understand all of the obstacles in your path before you meet the same potential fate as the captain in the video.
Lighthouse Technology Group's Book Seller Tools
Lighthouse Technology Group's Book Seller's Tools is a feature rich online suite of applications aimed at helping companies buy and sell new and used books on the web. We strongly believe that the market for used books will continue to grow - especially in tough economic times - as consumers' willingness to buy a used book is enhanced by the cost savings of a used book over a new book.
The Used Book Market - How Big is it?
While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact volume of used books bought and sold in the market - research published several years ago indicated that several billion dollars worth of used books are bought and sold every year - and the growth in used book sales was outstripping that of new books.
How do I Make Money Buying and Selling Used Books?
Buying and selling books is a relatively simple business model -- find people who have used books who are willing to sell them, provide them with a price quote for the books you're willing to buy (not every used book has a potential buyer - our platform handles a majority of those cases to help ensure you only buy marketable books), make it easy for them to ship their books to you, pay them for their books once you have received and inspected them, upload a listing of your books to a service such as Amazon, price your books competitively, sell, ship and collect your money. Our platform facilitates that entire process - streamlining and simplifying the process.
How you make money in the book business is a simple matter of economics -- buy a book at a price that someone is willing to sell it for, mark the price of the book up to a price that someone is willing to pay for it - and keep the difference. Our book sellers tools provide a pricing engine that automatically determines an effective buy and sell price based on the market for each specific book and the current pricing in the market for that book.
Because book buying and selling is a relatively simple business - we believe it is a great business opportunity for those looking to supplement their existing income, stay-at-home parents who are looking to generate income but do so from home while the kids are off at school, or for some people - as a primary source of income. Tools such as Lighthouse Technology Group's book buying platform make it easy to get up and running quickly and effectively.
If you would like to see our product in action, we suggest that you sell a few books to one our our clients who are using our second generation platform - such as Sell Back Your Book.
